The Mel Homestay

Breakfast good and location near Harbor

Pool was nice. Location near harbor is convenient. Value for price is top tier. Very considerate and helpful hosts. They also run the delicious fried chicken restaurant nextdoor.

There is nothing to do on the island, and taxis are crazy expensive, near extortionate to get from one part of the island to another. No fault of the property though.

The lady at the desk was friendly.

Bugs in the bed, which is why we switched rooms. Second room: cockroaches lying dead, bad moldy/sewage stench, bathchamber dirty to the point we did not want to shower or touch the gear. We ordered a garden view room and got a "sea"view room on the roof. Which means a room almost directly at a busy street. Second roon was next to it.

Very friendly staff/owners. They went the extra mile to supply what we needed.

Bathroom was dirty. No fridge, chair or table in the room, no cup or spoon. However, when we moved a table and chairs in from outside they were fine with it. They also gave us a kettle and some cups after we asked for it.

Breakfast was very good, the pool, entrance and the outside beautiful.

Our shower was with salty water and above the toilet, not really convenient.

I really didn't want to write a bad review but after unpacking my laundry I have no other choice. The staff are friendly and helpful. The pillows are comfortable. They have a really cute dog. They are really close to the pier to go to Gili T.

The room needed dusting. Not sure if the bathroom was cleaned as there was someone's leftover soaps still there. The room needs some attention, holes in walls and was a bit damp. Received laundry and 2 pairs of shorts had the elastic removed and my bikini came back with a huge hole in. Ok for 1 night stopover but no not do your laundry here

Nothing

couldn’t even spend 5min there, we leaved the hotel 15 min later. The smell was really bad, very dirty and old room, wall full of moist and the door broken and the bathroom too, the staff not helpful at all, when we asked for a refund they didn’t even considered it. The worst experience ever.

The owners and staff at this home stay are so kind and helpful. They helped us to organize a tour, snorkeling and ferry tickets and provided a driver for a reasonable price. My friend was sick and they allowed us to change our plans last minute and also had ginger tea delivered to our room for her. The driver took me to all the best spots on the west side of the island and was my personal photographer for the trip. The room itself was big and spacious. Comfortable bed and good ac. Nice outdoor seating area and pool. Close by to some nice restaurants and walking distance from Buyuk Pier.

The toilet is small and had many mosquitos so need to keep the door closed.
