The property is definitely run down and you can tell staff are doing everything they can to keep it alive. But it’s a long way to go: Bed sheets had stains throughout and were worn out although they were washed and fresh There were no facilities other than the cabin I stayed in itself The food was ok, very basic and overpriced for the quality. You can get much better tasting food and drinks just down the road No hot water Bikes being rented were old and breaks nearly functioned There were heaps of new people in and out all the time, passing by the cabin. There wasn't much privacy.

It was cheap. You get what you pay for.

Far from center, not a good place for people who want to stay close to all the activities and parties. Have to ride bike or take tonga everytime to go to center. Bathrooms could be better.

Not many options for breakfast, a mosquito net in the room would be a great addition. If it is raining you get wet when you use the toilet. Not hot water in the shower.

The location of the place is amazing, right on the beach. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Love the drums sunset sessions!. The room is spacious and confortable, and it was really clean, love the flowers decorations.

It appears that we were not expected. Rooms were hastily made up and other guests moved. Manager did not know that breakfast was included. Very noisy area, not just drums, fireworks, very loud music till well past midnite from various entertainment venues situated in the area. Never sure who the manager was, with people going back and forth to Lombok. Addressed issues to many employees. Mice in the bins and pipes that remained leaking throughout our stay. My Bahasa Indonesia is non-existent and most employees couldn't follow our requests. The lounge and food area is being totally revamped and the beachfront area was a building site. Had we been informed about the construction beforehand, we would not have stayed at this establishment. We have travelled to many places in Indonesia and if possible, repeat our stays. Unfortunately, we will not visit Exiles again.

Breakfast Banana pancakes or omelettes were tasty, chefs were friendly and we ate on the beach in the shade of a tree. Airconditioning worked well. We were told that there has been a change of ownership, so perhaps things will improve.

A bit rude manager and the property is under construction. Better to avoid this property for the time being.

Good sunset point.

Can’t fault it!

The staff (yaya) amazing, accomodating, nothing too big or small to help out with. Great breakfast, drumming performances through the week, chill vibe. Right on the beach!! Literally on the sand it’s so cool. Beanbags by the fire at night. Perfect.

No towels or toiletries at all. Not much privacy, another guest decided to use my outdoor bathroom and keep leaving the doors open. Aircon was weak, dripping and smelled of ozone, Room backed onto the kitchen and was super noisy with subaudial electrical hum all night.

Staff were gorgeous, breakfast was great, pricing good.

It's so windy, but you get used to it

Don’t hesitate—just book! This is a place where you instantly feel connected, thanks to the amazing, friendly people who work there. From the great breakfast to sunset sessions with a live DJ spinning house and electronic music, every moment was special. Evenings around the fire, with cozy seating, guitar music, and drinks, made it feel like home. I truly felt like part of the family, and I’m already missing them. A huge thank you to everyone for the unforgettable experience! They’re currently renovating, so if you’re reading this in 2025, you’re in for an even more incredible stay!

The bungalow is nice and cute however it’s shabby. There’s an AC that barely works and as there’s a gap between the main doors and the bungalow, it doesn’t cool. There’s no hot water and it’s very basic. I would have been ok if I could have AC as in the end we had to open the windows and we got so many mosquito bites although we went to bed with mosquito spray. The idea itself of this place is nice as you’re remote. You’ll need if you have luggage to take a “horse carriage” that costs 150,000 Indonesian money or walk about 20-25min. It’s walkable during the day but at night, it’s pretty far off the center and the road is not lit up..

Very disappointed in the room on arrival. No fridge no tv. Ac could not adjust. Set on 24 to save on electricity cost. Bed was hard. Total lack of maintenance on the buildings. Would not go back again.

Liked everything

Absolutely loved everything about our stay. The cute cabin, the beach, the sunsets, the dj, the drums. The people who worked there are amazing and could not do enough for us. I honestly wanted to cry when we left. The whole place was a complete vibe. We came to celebrate my husbands birthday and we had a wonderful time. The perfect place.

Cute little bungalow with outdoor bathroom, right on the beach, walking distance to Harbour (about 15-20 mins) fun, easy going staff, fire pit and drums every night!
