Mount Rinjani view

Beautiful view of rinjani from the bungalow. It was clean and with a nice porch. However there was many many bugs inside the room at night (small flies/mosquitos/moths). Bathroom and room well-equipped with coffee / tea maker, soap, etc. Great help from the on-site caretaker (his name is Muslim), he made a fire for us each night and helped us with food.

The owner offered us daily scooter rental which was very expensive (100k per day), which is double the price of scooter rentals elsewhere in Lombok. The breaks on the scooter didn’t work very well. The bungalows are located a bit far from the main town area so the option they give you for food is to have dinner on-site (cooked by the owner’s wife), however he didn’t tell us any price and on the last day we were met with quite a large (and seemingly arbitrary) bill for the two dinners. Again, charging double what those same food items would have cost in town. Overall they are nice people, but we did feel like we were seen as ATMs, and ended up paying way more for the extras (scooter and food) at the end of our stay than the cost our accommodation. So beware of that.

Beautiful and very clean bungalows with Rinjani mountain wiev. Warm vater and WiFi. Owner very nlce and helpful, his vife make very good breakfast
