Gili Air in general has become too expensive.

"The the room was super comfortable and impeccably clean. The staff works tirelessly, always taking great care of the garden and surroundings. And a special mention to the manager that really helpt me when I needed it.

Regular times for cleaning the room and a knock on your door when they do come in and cleaning your room.

Cute houses with a lovely pool in the middle. Enjoyed our stay. If you see how the island is and there is no or little comfort. People are very poor and have nothing you really go back in time. It’s no luxery island. Restaurants have the perfect breakfast bowls and coffee :)

A peaceful and relaxing resort a few minutes walk from the beach and restaurants / bars. Nice pool and loungers to enjoy the tranquility. Ideally located slightly away from the beach so you can really believe you are in your own private getaway. Staff are all friendly and service was great. Had one of the best omelette I have had for years for breakfast there . Would go back anytime

Nothing

Clean, good location, secluded and nice pool

Stayed in June 2023

There was no hot water in the morning for showers. At night time the hot water worked fine for the showers. But every morning I used to have a completely cold shower, and there were a couple of days where the water was almost turned off and just a dribble in the morning. They provided water in a bottle on the first day, but because there isn't daily room service, the bottle never gets refilled. We hate constantly having to buy plastic bottles, so we used to have to ask to refill our bottles at the end of the night - and they were always accommodating, but it would be nice if the water is refillable because we use it for everything, including brushing our teeth and cleaning our tooth brush with it

Good location, easily able to walk to all the main parts of the island

breakfast take 30-40 minutes to get food as only two persons are in the kitchen. Dirty cups and plates at breakfast, overall hygiene could be on higher level

very nice bungalows and swimming pool, peaceful place, ok location, good value for money, they have bikes to rent

There was absolutely nothing to complain about!

The staff were extremely helpful and service was always with a smile. Samata is set back about 70m from the coast path so is very tranquil. It's a convenient location with only a short walk to all amenities and restaurants.

The staff is non-existent and not helpful at all. Apparently it is low season because we were the only guests at the hotel while the other hotels nearby seemed to be lively. The property needs extra lighting throughout and some major landscaping. There is a large gap between the bottom of the door for mosquitos to get into the room and if you don’t close the bathroom door, the mosquitos can get into the room as well. It would be nice for a net around the bed. In the breakfast area, there are also lots of mosquitos and it just makes it uncomfortable to eat. As i was checking out, i informed one of the staff about the blind wand not working to let light into the room. It didn’t bother me during my stay but i wanted to show it to them so they can fix for it the next guest. Instead he started to raise his voice about how i should have told the staff about the complaint instead of checking-out. As i tried to tell him it wasn’t a big deal, he continued to talk over me. It was incredibly rude. Honestly, this place has so much potential but it’s just a bit run down. The property looks a lot nicer in photos than the place itself. For the price you pay, i suggest just staying somewhere else.

The room was spacious, lovely outdoor shower, location is close to the harbor within 10-15 minute walk and the breakfast is decent. Also, really good Wi-Fi!

Staff did not really speak English. There was no bar and kitchen was closed a lot.

The pool and location

Stayed in August 2024

Staff was rude, unorganized, and unprofessional. Facilities were dirty at best.

Barely anything. It was definitely not at par with the pictures displayed on Booking. Location is good and pool is fine - although not very clean

Stayed in August 2024

There was a reception area but often no staff around which meant we waited a while to check in and check out. The breakfast was very basic and the rooms were a little bit shabby for example we had stained towels, rusty toilet bin, really wonky tap and main door that was a struggle to close as one of the handles was really loose.

Great location, close to beach and also main strip of restaurants. The pool area was nice and the beds in the room were really comfortable. Good value for the price you pay and when we checked in the staff were really helpful and gave us lots of tips about the island.

Stayed in August 2024

Staff never available for check in, bike hire or general enquiries. Staff are lovely, just not around most of day, only 1 or 2 hours. As there is no staff, no way to manage late night pool parties. All rooms face the pool so don’t expect any sleep when guests drink and play ball games in the pool late at night.

Rooms are nice and beautiful pool

Stayed in August 2024

Dirty bed sheets, overall hygiene was lacking everywhere from the kitchen to the rooms and the pool, located off the Main Street/ Road connected by a dirt road, if it rains you will be walking in massive pools of mud and sewage to reach the main road. Giant spiders in the room due to open roof bathroom. Bugs in the bathroom. Saltwater running in showers. Felt like the team managing the property is really trying hard but don’t have enough manpower and resources.

Not too far from the best snorkelling spots on the island. Inexpensive stay.

Stayed in January 2024

Wi-Fi working intermittently. There were a bit of Mosquitos, especially in the garden and breakfast area, like most places on the island.

Really liked the facilities. Large room, well equipped. Air conditioning functioning well Nice pool, well sized, quiet and with nice views of the garden Great breakfast, with several options and freshly made food. Staff super kind

Stayed in August 2023

The room, the bathroom, towels and bed linen dirty. Pool water wasn’t clean either, blurred water.
