we booked here for the accomodation and the Rinjani treck as well (in the end due to last minutes changes this was a 2 day 1 night treck) We had 2 rooms for 2 person and location is very well placed and near to a very good restaurant. Agung and his wife were very nice and friendly discussing about their lives here, experiences, plans for the futur etc .. Then related the treck it was a FANTASTIC experience, we went with our 2 kids and while this is quite an aventure, they really enjoyed the journey. our guides were really friendly and the accomodations during the treck were really of good quality (i expected less to be honest). so i would recommend at 100% with the option for Rinjani treck of course : )

Wonderful homestay run by a lovely family. Comfortable bed, very clean room, and a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious, and they also help organize everything for your Rinjani adventure. All in all, a perfect place to stay — I’ll definitely be back 😌

Nothing!

An amazing experience at Rumah Kawan Homestay! The family made me feel extremely welcome - which is especially important for a solo female traveler. They helped me organise Mount Rinjani and transport from the ferry terminals which was helpful! Rooms and facilities were clean, spacious and Tina made a delicious breakfast in the morning with homemade bread🥖! I would recommend staying here, this was one of my highlights of the trip ☺️!

We had a wonderful stay! The rooms and the bathroom were very clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the breakfast – freshly cooked every day with ingredients from their own garden, simply delicious! What truly made our stay unforgettable was the warm hospitality of Agung, Tina, and their three wonderful children. They created such a welcoming family atmosphere, were always friendly, helpful, and made us feel completely at home. They also helped us organize our Mount Rinjani trek – we could book it directly through the homestay, and they even provided us with valuable tips that made the tour much easier. Another plus is that the homestay is within walking distance to the waterfalls, which made exploring the area even more special. A homestay we highly recommend!

The property is a little bit further away from the main strip and waterfall entrances than some others. Not far at all, but if walking alone in the dark it can be a little unnerving, even though completely safe. Some of the locals drive their motorbikes without headlights and there are street dogs. You can hire a scooter or even ask a local to drive you for a small price.

Agung, Tina and their adorable family were incredibly warm and friendly hosts. They’ve made an effort to be as sustainable as possible; serving home grown produce from their property in the breakfast. They have chickens, crops and even an hydroponic setup! They also arranged my hike up Mt Rinjani and lent me some equipment as I was not adequately prepared.

Hosts were kind and very helpful. They also organized trekking for Rinjani which went smoothly. Room was very clean. Would absolutely stay again!

I literally had the best time at Tina and Agung’s place. Such a lovely family, where I felt like home. The room was very comfortable and clean and they gave me advices to visit the waterfall nearby. Above all, they helped me arrange everything to hike Rinjani. My 2D/1N hike to the summit was simply perfect. I felt safe, had a great guide, and perfect equipment to make this hike a lifelong memory! Can only recommend this place!

Not staying longer!

What a fantastic place. I have travelled Bali since 1978, this being my first trip to Lombok, and this is by far the best yet. Rooms are a good size, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and abundant hot water to shower. It is close to Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls as well as being the gateway to trekking Mt Rinjani. The breakfast is yum. And, added bonus, a warung directly across the road with tasty options, large portions, cheaply priced, for lunch or dinner. However, what really makes this place is the hosts. Agung, Tina and their three gorgeous kids, Jed, Abi and Matteo. Agung and Tina are fonts of knowledge on where to go, what to see and if you want to trek Mt Rinjani book with Agung for the best price going and an awesome adventure. Rumah Kawan House of Friend is perfectly named as it has a calm, relaxed feel to it and you are welcomed as friends, if not family. Thank you, see you all soon.

I had a wonderful stay here - Agung and Tina made me feel very at home, and the room was clean and comfy! I organised my 3 day Rinjani trek through them, and it was smooth and went really well. Communication was also excellent, I'd definitely recommend it! 🙂

Amazing homestay, best of our 6 months trip. Super friendly family with 3 lovely kids. Tina and Agung will help you in any way possible, banana bread, scooters, arranging taxi,… . They also organise trips to Mount Rinjani themselves, if I had known, I would defenitely have done it via them!

I had such a lovely stay at Rumah Kawan House of Friends! The family who runs it is incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the necessities for a relaxing stay. It was the perfect home base for the Rinjani Trek. I highly recommend Rumah Kawan to anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable place to stay. It truly feels like a home away from home!

The family is so nice and really lovely to talk to. They gave us a lot of advice and tips about the Rinjani hike. They made us feel welcome and gave us a wonderful experience. The room is nice with a big bed and a nice bathroom with hot water and everything you need. We will definitely recommend this stay to everyone.

Everything. From start to finish. Nothing short of amazing. You won’t find better hosts than Tina and Agung. We had the pleasure of staying just a single night but miss them already. Offered us home baked banana cake when we came down from Rinjani and I could’ve cried so good it was. Thank you!!!

We can really recommend this homestay. A very nice and lovely family with a very good breakfast. They also offer tours to the volcano. Unfortunately, it was closed to tourists at that time, otherwise we would have booked a tour. we would definitely come back
