De Chicktoria Hostel

An experience in a local guesthouse, near the port as well. The owner helped me with going to the waterfalls. The food is super!!!

The chickens made noise at night

Doga ile ic ice, odalar cok ferah. Calisanlar cok yardimsever, harika deneyim!

Sicak su yok, serin havalarda ihtiyac olabilir. Dusun suyu az akiyordu.

Bestes Curry Lomboks! In der Natur gelegen - eher wie Camping. Sehr einfach, aber auch sehr günstig und sehr nette Menschen dort!

Amazing hostel and a great nights sleep after hiking Mt Rinjani. Just what I needed. Staff were helpful and friendly

Without aircon in the room so it got a little hot

I just finished the Rinjani Hike and needed somewhere to rest. This place was very comfortable and exactly what I needed after a long trek.

The De Chicktoria Hostel was a delightful solution to my missing the last ferry to Gili T. It was a little hard to find as it’s set back from the main road with only a small sign to signal the path to the property. But as you walk down the path between beautiful rice paddies you discover a quaint hostel set amongst a small holding of home grown fruit trees, chicken coop and fish pond. We were greeted warmly and shown to our rooms before dinner. The rooms had recently been renovated and were clean, practical and chic! The mattress was super comfortable which made my stay amazing as I’d just come from climbing Mount Rinjani! The food at the property was delicious and excellent value which was good to find as there aren’t many/ if any options within walking distance. After a delicious breakfast, Herri organised a taksi to take me to the harbour and onto Gili T. During my stay I felt extremely welcome and fortunate to have stumbled across this little piece of paradise and get to know the staff and hear their stories and appreciate the beautiful island of Lombok and its wonderful people. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, authentic encounters with wonderful locals and value for money!

It feels weird to be writing about “what I didn’t like” when in reality this section for me is why I didn’t score it 10/10 for everything. Some warm water in the showers would have been nice, especially after the Rinjani Hike but I felt refreshed after a cold shower. Location wasn’t what I would have looked for in my predicament but in the end it was perfect for a peaceful rest and my continued journey was facilitated by the helpful staff!

This hostel is a gem. It is an experience to just chill in the hammocks soaking in the mountain and rice field views, listening to the birds and the rain. Harry and Augusto were friendly, laid back and happy to share their stories. Augusto made me delicious fried chicken noodles for dinner and banana pancake breakfast with Lombok coffee. I enjoyed watching all the chickens and the cats. The property is clearly a labour of love by people who care about their visitors and nature and it shows. I recommend a visit.

There is nothing I did not like, however I think it's important to know that this accommodation is rustic and natural and perhaps not accessible for someone with mobility difficulties. There is a narrow lane way to access the property. No AC or hot water but you really don't miss either one.
