    Nice bungalow with view on garden and bordering the see. Very friendly owner helping us organize a great snorkeling trip to neighboring islands. Great breakfast as well. Great location close to a very nice warung (Indah). We would definitely come back again to this charming place.

    Nice accommodation right next to beach. It’s located in very quiet location. Interieror was clean and comfortable. Be prepared for only cold water for showering ( don’t be afraid of it. Bathroom is opened and there is warm so shower is fine and very refreshing). Guests Sofia and her husband Gun are very nice and kind people. Sofia prepare great breakfast and can help you arrange any trip you want ( recommending snorkeling in islands with last stop gili layar - you can have a lunch there). Gun can take you by boat when you want and you can also ask them to come for you to harbor. Few meter next to accommodation you can find first small shop when you can buy some drink or snack. On this side of island is 1 warung ( aprox. 100m away ). I can recomend it. Prices was fair and it was quick.

    Some people may find that the location from the east side a little far but I enjoyed the walk and met lots of lovely friendly locals along the way.

    The AC! The breakfast, the free water refills and most of all long conversations with Sofie who is a wonderful host. Her husband can organise snorkel tours on his own boat for very good prices also tours and transfers to Lombok. There is one warang on this side of the island.

    Be careful about what accommodation you book here. The front villa is absolutely delightful - luxury plus - but I didn't realise I hadn't booked that, it was a small hut set behind, with only a mattress on the floor. The bathroom was outside to the rear of the bungalow and needed a climb over a hammock and down some narrow steps a bit tricky in the night. I'm a senior and this wasn't quite what I had in mind, I need to be more careful when booking, but was adequate for my stay and Sofe and Gede made up for it. I was devastated with the amount of rubbish on the island, aside from a few areas which were obviously maintained by accommodation owners there is literally trash everywhere. I understand a lot floats in from Lombok, but not in the centre of the island. Apparently there is a new committee who are working on this situation. I found this quite overwhelming.

    This is lovely, budget friendly accommodation on Gili Gede. It is very well maintained and Sofe and Gun went out of their way to be helpful in every way. Sofe's banana pancakes are the best! Short stroll to the sunset side of the beach, and lovely Warung just a couple of minutes away, Some of the eating places on the Sunset side are really lovely. Treat yourself to a meal at Kokomo - not cheap but freshly made bread and greens from the garden overlooking a really lovely part of the beach. The more remote part of the island has gorgeous beaches and views with noticeably less trash.

The bungalow is located direktly at the beach and you have a nice view sitting on the veranda. Room is spacious and clean. The island is very calm and beautiful for snorkelling.

    It is a walk to get to see this wonderful locals island but worth it.

    The property is on the quiet local side of the island. It is at the end of the houses so you have woods on one side, ocean in the front, very peaceful. Sofi is the most wonderful host, I truly loved her company and her sweet daughter Hana.

    The island is quite rural with not much to do except snorkeling, but the Yellow Coco family made our stay during rain season simply PERFECT. Yes, the room was clean and comfortable, perfectly located in a quiet but convenient area, but truly what made the difference were the owners (and their kindness). They took us in and helped us in every possible way, making us feel at home and welcomed — even arranged a full day of snorkeling on our last day there because the sun suddenly came out. Truly a remarkable stay, can’t wait to come back soon!!

    Sophia and Gun went out of their way to look after us. The snorkelling trip to five locations with Gun's uncle Eddy was so great we went twice! The people on Gili Gede are very friendly and welcoming. Dont miss watching the sun go down over a drink at the Pondok Sunset Bar.

    The tiny accomodation is right in front of the sea, in an unspoiled and unexplored part of the island, close to local people. Gun et Shopiee are lovely hosts, very warm and welcoming. We had breakfast in the garden and dinner in their restaurant very close to the accomodation. They organized for us tranfer from/to Gili Gede and an amazing snorkeling around Gili Islands. Sincerely suggested for travelers looking for an authentic experience in Indonesia.

    I stayed in Yellow Coco in June 2024 for a total of 8 nights and if I could I would've stayed longer! :D The place is magical, simple accomodation and amenities, but a lovely garden and super friendly hosts Gun and Sofi. They make lovely food at a decent price, the Gado Gado and the grilled fish were my favorite.

    The snorkeling equipment we rent was not the best

    Sophie & Gun are amazing hosts, they are so young and already so good in their work. They have been really helpful in the two days we spent in their homestay, for snorkeling spot advices, for the delicious food and even for transportation from the island to the Lombok airport. The room and the bathroom are essential but they have all the necessary
