    Not close to beaches.but 10-15 mins walk will get you to Mushroom and Dream beaches and Devil's Tears.

    Great staff. Super chilled. Lovely rooms and pool. Away from the main area in Jungutbatu so quieter and with less traffic. Cheap scooter rental (75000/day) and excellent snorkelling trip 300,000. Saw five manta rays.

    The combination of the bathroom door not shutting properly and the AC not being powerful enough, meant the room was never cold enough unfortunately. Staff weren’t that helpful with booking a ferry so we had to go online and find one. I would recommend hiring a bike elsewhere as the one we got from the accomodation was very rundown and couldn’t make it up some hills, had no working indicators and the brakes weren’t too good going downhill.

    We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location is good if you have a bike as it it close to all the nice beaches. Our room was cleaned everyday with a top up of water. With breakfast included everyday, it is quite a cheap place. Staff are friendly.

    -AC went down one night and there was noone at the reception to fix it so we couldnt really sleep in 30°C inside the room -mouse, lizards, mosquitos, ants and other animals sharing the hut with you :D -slightly limited choice for breakfast

    -calm and quiet -nice pool -romantic huts -good location

    If I could give six stars I would. Beautiful hostel on Nusa Lembongan for a reasonable price. The staff was so friendly, and the rooms were spacious four bunkers, with clean bathrooms. Could easily spend weeks here relaxing by the pool, exploring the island, and meeting other travelers.

    A brilliant place to stay and enjoy the calmness of the island

    Sometimes, dogs were barking loudly, but it's absolutely not the host's fault, so it's better to bring earplugs to small islands. Also, I recommend renting a scooter, as a taxi is way more expensive than in Bali. If you are a beginner, Lembongan is also a great island to practice

    Garden Cottage was my favorite place to stay during my first month in Indonesia. The apartment was super clean, the bed was comfortable, and the open-air bathroom was beautiful. The swimming pool was well taken care of, and the breakfast was tasty. The staff was helpful. I decided to prolong my stay and almost stayed there for a week. I would absolutely recommend this accommodation.

    This place is absolutely perfect. It’s really well located, super clean, has a fantastic pool and the breakfasts are great. They can organise scooters, taxis, laundry, trips - everything you could need. But the best thing about this place is the staff who are so kind, friendly and helpful. 10/10

    For the price you pay, there is nothing to complain about. It’s an extremely minor thing but the towels are quite old. They are absolutely clean and smell great, but at some point soon they could probably do with replacing.

    Best stay on my whole trip of SE Asia. For the price it is absolutely perfect. The team are so friendly and helpful - they can drive you places for a very reasonable fee so that you don’t have to find a taxi, and they can help you figure out any activities you want to do. The premises itself is so beautiful with lots of plants and the pool is gorgeous, with a good amount of sun loungers for everyone. The rooms are classic and clean. The bathrooms are semi open air which is really fun. There’s a la carte breakfast which is also good. I would 100% come here again if I was in this area.

    We had an amazing time being in this little paradise. The bungalow was clean and comfortable with the net around the bed. The pool was well maintained, clean,a joy to use. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast banana pancake was amazing. The location suited us well, 10-15 mins walk to Dream bwach and a bit more to Mushroom Beach

    Very nice place, decent bungalows
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Some hotel guests need rules - and their are none visible no where. Which means other guests are communication loudly from one bungalow to the one further away not respecting other people or having a pool party in the middle of the night (after mignight) with none of the staff stepping in. Pity.

    Check-in went smoothly. The bungalow has a decent size with a big outdoor bathroom (hot shower) and a front porch. Being "everything dark wood" in the room, it is not that bright, lights are a bit on the darker side. The pool is great, enough deck chairs (cushions could do with a good cleaning), the garden is wonderfully kept. All in all I liked the place very much. Breakfast gets a bit boring after a couple of days - but not too big a problem. Please be aware that you are in the middle of nowhere. I knew and it was fine with me. But: You need transport. Either island taxo or scooter. Highly resommendable: BALO Taxi Lembongan, Taxi and scooter rental. Very nice people.
