Breakfast was basic and I would have preferred an indonesian menu. But it was free and for that I am grateful.

If I was going to design and build my own Indonesian boutique hotel, this would be it. Small, neat, well laid out, excellent pool and garden surrounds. Service was efficient and the owners were great at troubleshooting. It is in the heart of the village which means you get the best of both worlds: a quiet retreat with lots of engaging local colour in the surrounds. It IS next to the village mosque so the call-to-prayer 5 times a day is very loud and starts early. But for me that just adds to the ambience, its great having my first coffee at 0530 knowing others are up and about too. There are kilometres of resorts to the north that have no connection with the local village life for those that are after a more sterile resort experience.

Excellent stay, nice and peaceful. The rooms are a nice size and comfortable. The retreat is set in nice gardens and a nice size pool to cool off in after a day in the sun. Provide a good breakfast and the staff are very pleasant. Arif and his wife make every effort to make your stay comfortable and help with booking or suggesting things to do.. Easy walking distance to beaches and restaurants. Would certainly come back again..

The location is just within the walking distance to beach clubs and restaurants in Senggigi. This hotel really delivers more than what we expected. The staffs are the best. They are doing anythin they could to assist us. They helped us with shuttles fron Teluk Nare port and also to the airport after check out. All with a very reasonable price. Baby Kiprah really stole our hearts during our stay there. She is always around and amazibgly majes us feel like home....the breakfast was great. We lovethehone made baguet and Lombok coffee, the fruit platter was generous as well.....all is perfect. Definitely will come back to stay there when we are in Lombok

First night I had a few ants in my room but that just happens in Indonesia. I got some spray for it right away and they were gone after that.

- beautiful rooms / bungalows - super clean (they clean every day) - the owners make you feel like home! They are so so sweet and helpful, offer tips on what to do, where to go and what to see - breakfast very delicious (5 options to choose from, tea or coffee and fruit plate or fresh juice) - they offer drivers for 5-6 hours for an amazing price! (Way cheaper than than grab if you want to go a little further away) - we also got a shuttle to the boat pier up north - great pool area - main road with loads of restaurants and supermarket about 5 minutes away Absolutely perfect accommodation and I 100% recommend everyone to stay here!

Lots of ants in my room. Unplugged the refrigerator as it was too noisy. Obviously very close to the mosque but you’re probably used to that by now.

Friendly staff and clean accommodation. Stayed 2 nights and the room was cleaned during this time. Hired a brand new scooter for 75k and arranged transportation to the pier.

Nothing, all was great

Everything was fantastic. The kindest staff we have encountered, amazing breakfast, everything was well-kept, room tidied everyday. We also did laundry and rented a motorbike through the hotel. Happy with absolutely everything.

Noticed a fair bit of insects crawling in the room, although understandably it is rustic and natural setting. The prayer sound can be loud for light sleepers.

Fabulous couple running this place. Love the layout of the palm trees and the resort feel of hut roofs and yet so affordable.

Very friendly staff. A paradise on earth. Lovely swimmingpool and beautiful cottages. All the best to all the staff of Mama Bella's Retreat! Kind regards Corrine and Jan van der Snoek.

Location is unfortunately beside a MOsque and they balre out chants 5 times a day starting at 4.30am. I used earplugs to sleep but it was also intrusive when trying to relax - I respect people right to pray but does it have to be so intrusive to others who dont follow this religion!

fabulous place I would return to

Very, very minor point but maybe separate pool towels would be useful

Fabulous spot, beautiful grounds and truly a peaceful oasis. Staff were super helpful and a great selection of eating places within an easy walk. Good size comfortable rooms, highly recommended.

Very close to the mosque so you may hear the adhan at dawn, not the hotel's fault though.

Clean and comfortable with a nice swimming pool.

Nothing - we wish we could have stayed longer

An absolutely gorgeous accommodation! We’ve been backpacking for 4 months and this was one of our favourite accommodations. The whole property is stunning, peaceful and very quiet. The pool area is lovely and very clean. The rooms have great A/C, a fan, fridge and are very nice. The room was so clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was freshly made and they have plenty of options. We also got a transfer to Bangsal port through the accommodation and it was very reasonable

Only fault was a bit close to Mosque so expect a wake up call at 4.30 but then you will get that at most places on the island

Service was great and pool area, really relaxed feel about the place, made to feel really welcome

Convenient yet quiet location, easy walk to restaurants, shops, warungs, massage, bars etc. Wonderful staff. I would highly recommend this place. It was one of my favourite hotels in Indonesia. A very relaxing and calm place to stay.
