The host Yuri(spelling?) was awesome. The man was so friendly, kind, peaceful and such a vibe. The place has all your basic amenities and is super close to the water. This was our favorite stay out of 4 places during our Bali/gili trip. P.S. Take a cold shower and put the fan close to the ground if it's too hot...

This hostel was great, the facilities are clean, bed was comfy, there was wifi, a pool,... The place is quite new so there are still a few things they are adjusting but it is actually really good! The owner then also helped me figuring out where I needed to be for my boat and helped another friend of mine out with booking taxi and boat trip for his return from Kuta. They really know their stuff and are happy to help and make sure you are ok! This is also a great place to rest before or after getting the boat!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I had great stay at Melbao! It’s Minutes walk from the ferry port, check in is easy, good wifi, good sound proofing, easy to rent a bike from Aladdin’s next door, and best of all the staff were lovely. The surrounding businesses are owned by family so I felt very safe as a solo female. Thanks heaps guys and hope to see you again!

    Great location, very clean, spacious, nicely furbished. Air Con very efficient and silent, hot water 24/7, good breakfast and great Lombok Coffee every morning. Friendly and very helpful staff. They arranged very cheap (150k IDR) and nice snorkeling trip by boat arround the 3 Gilis. The location is good and quiet, but close to nice terraces on the Eastern coast of the Gili Air (2-3 min walk, see on Google Maps).

    Fantastic Bamboo Hut is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed at. Breakfast is amazing, many options such as pancakes with fresh fruit or omelette. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, who all play terrific guitar. Great location next to where the boat drops you off so very easy to drop your stuff off after arriving. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with a bathroom within the hut. I wish i could stay here forever, thank you for everything.

    one of the best hostel I stayed. Great Wi-Fi (was able to have video calls), breakfast was valuable. Coffee or tea was served every day. The room was clean, got my towel, comfy bed, a lot of activities to do - you can rent a bikecycle. Peaceful environment. 10 minutes from sunset point. 3 minutes from great and cheap warungs. Not at busy street so it’s quiet around - if they don’t pray.

    Pretty setting, love that it's not bunk beds despite being a dormitory/hostel. Staff are friendly, too. Bed is relatively comfortable to sleep on.
