Absolutely nothing. 11/10

Herman’s (owner) was first of all the most incredible host we’ve ever had. His friends and family are just as nice and made us feel so welcome. We cooked dinner together, played cards and helped each other learn English/Bahasa. It was such an amazing experience. The foods is lovely, location is great and it’s the most rewarding stay we’ve ever had. We are already going to go back in a few days purely for them! If you’re debating staying here, please do. Take the time to talk to everybody there and get involved. Herman does so much for his community, and if you’re looking to give back in anyway, Herman is the guy to speak to! There was not a single fault in the home stay. Couldn’t recommend more.

Amazing

The only thing was maybe that it was missing a piece of furniture in the room so we could put our stuff but that’s only a small detail.

We had such a great time there. The owner is amazing. We enjoyed a nice talk with him and he took really good care of us. The location is also perfect, not far from the harbor but far enough to be in a peaceful area. The little bungalow is really cosy.

Absolutely amazing! Best stay you can wish for. The cottages are on a beautiful rice field with view of the nearby mountains. The mattress is really comfortable and the food is amazing! What makes staying here really amazing though is the host himself. Herman is such an amazing person who truly cares about his guests and does so much work for the community in his village. It was so nice talking with him about everything he does... Simply inspiring! Furthermore, he can drive you to the airport or wherever you need to go on the island and can give you island tours and show you around. Highly recommend staying there and having a good conversation with him. Simply unwind and enjoy this little piece of heaven!

Not the best place to sleep in, mosques and local life around but didn’t bother me at all!

Great calm and remote location from the city. Next to the rice fields, it emerges you in the local life. Herman and his wife are the kindest, the food is great too. I came back from climbing the Rinjani and Herman organized a massage for me at the bungalow! Had a very good relaxed time.

No curtain on window, but the accommodation is brand new so this was not a problem.

Mr Herman and his wife were so welcoming and kind, they cooked us dinner and breakfast- both which were lovely. The accommodation had a comfy bed, fan and outdoor sitting area with a hammock, which we enjoyed relaxing in. The location is good for people finishing trekking mount rinjani or heading to the Gili islands! I recommend this accommodation as you feel at home and very welcome.

The only small issue is the shower was cold but I love cold showers and find them refreshing especially in the warm weather! So not an issue for me.

Herman and his wife are super friendly and helpful with anything you need. They made some delicious food for us and made sure we were very welcome and comfortable. I would 100% recommend staying here, especially if you are on a budget as the price is very cheap!

Bathroom was slightly unclean but not too bad.

This property is in a spectacular location and is owned by a spectacular host. Hermann is a lovely sort who invited us to dine with his family whilst they celebrated Ramadan. It was a truly special part of our trip. The room is comfortable and has a nice patio area but the key benefit to staying here is the fact that you feel truly ensconced within the community.

I stayed in Herman's place and himself and her wife and Hapit treat me so nice. The huts are simple but the place and views and the are so great and cozy. The place is quite new and the access can be a little tricky with but he is making effort to make the place look even better.

Everything was good, and the areas that could be improved i know the owner has plans for. So nothing bad to say

Incredibly friendly and helpful host Beautiful views Perfect for a few days in the countryside

If you like rosters it is a perfect place for you. The facilities are very basic and there is only cold water.

Good location close to the port, good motor bikes for rental on the spot. The owner was nice and spoke good english.

The site is still under construction. Also keep in mind there is no AC (though it's cooler than expected being a bit inland), the shared bathroom could be in a lot better shape.

Herman and his wife are lovely, the location is good if you want to be close to Bangsal. Was awesome to be able to rent a motorbike to explore the local area. Can see the potential when the project is finished, the property is beautiful
