    Big room with enough storage but very basic furniture. Pool with great view in the rinjani and only 6 minutes walk to the gate to the waterfalls. A lot of restaurants close by

    Very thin walls between room so could hear our neighbours - but would still happily stay there again as this didn't detract from all the positives.

    The location - amazing view. Lovely pool. Walking distance to the waterfalls. The shower was great :)

    Like a lot of these older buildings, many gaps for the mosquitos to get in, kind of unavoidable. Maybe mosquito net for the bed would have been an extra luxury.

    Only stayed one night but great location and views, pool and aircon were bonuses for us. The Mi Goreng was delicious too.

    The property is an exceptional lush oasis. Rooms were clean, comfortable, private and an absolute gem for the money paid. Pool was amazing and even better than the photos. Staff were friendly, available, responsive, we stayed here the night before doing Mt Rinjani 2 day summit trek. Location is awesome and easy access to walking track to Sendang Gill and Tiu Kelep Waterfalls. Restaurant onsite was simple tasty and good value. Truly amazing experience and would stay again.

    To be honest this was an idealic location to stay both before and after doing the Mt Rinjani trek. The pictures don't even do it justice. It was quiet, big spacious clean rooms, lovely breakfast/dinner and a great view of Mt Rinjani and the rainforest below. Staff were friendly, I think it was a family business and it was cool to see them from young to old hanging out and providing friendly approachable service. Would recommend, thanks ✌️ Also waterfalls are easy walking distance

    Nothing at all!

    We had such a nice stay here! All the staff is really friendly and goes out of their way to make it comfortable for you! It was my birthday and my brother back home got in touch with the owner, who took the effort of putting a birthday cake in the room when we arrived. So thoughtful of him! Perfect place to relax and enjoy some good food after the Rinjani hike. Would stay again!

    The location is really good. Perfect view from the pool to the Rinjani Mountain, especially in the mornings. Perfect starting point for excursions to Rinjani. The room was very basic and the furniture quite old, but everything was clean. The staff was really nice and supportive. Probably one of the best places to stay in Senaru!

    We experienced a blackout during our stay, but they gave us a candlestick.

    Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The view is nice and there is a small pool for relaxing. Free breakfast options are great. The room is clean and smells nice.
