SAJA Cottage, Gili Meno

Bel établissement avec une chambre originale et très belle. Très proche de la plage et de bons restaurants! Les petits déjeuners sont très biens. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et parlent français !

Début de saison un peu difficile pour le personnel…

- 5-minute walk to the beach and to very good, inexpensive restaurants - Saw lots of turtles I saw 4 turtles during my first hour of swimming. You should be a good swimmer and have swim fins. - The bungalow isn't right on the beach. On the last night, there were very high waves and very rough seas. I slept well anyway, though the people in the bungalow right on the beach certainly didn't. - The manager is friendly - The bungalow looks good; nice view from the upstairs balcony. - Small breakfast included, served right outside my bungalow - Bicycle rental available The manager arranges a bike and leaves it in front of the bungalow. - The manager speaks English. - Breakfast is very punctual if you let them know your preferred time the day before. Otherwise, service is very slow, and breakfast takes 30 minutes. - The manager ordered a cidomo (horse-drawn taxi) for the final morning. - On the last day, I got breakfast as early as 7:00 AM since check-out was at 7:25 AM. Breakfast usually starts at 7:30 AM.

- Mosque at 4:45 AM. Then a loud bird chorus. I couldn't sleep after 4:45 AM. - The bungalow has extremely poor soundproofing. The roof right next to the bed on the upper floor is very thin (straw, bamboo leaves). You can hear everything in the vicinity—especially the loud Indonesian lady from across the street, conversations on the road, or passing vehicles. - Bungalow is not quiet. - The blanket on the bed is far too thick and warm. I caught a bad cold because of the air conditioning as a result. - Swimming is only possible at high tide. - The bungalow is completely overpriced and not worth the money. - Two-story bungalow made of thin wood, located right next to a narrow road. The other two bungalows are not situated directly by the road. - The man at reception speaks no English. He is absolutely useless. He can only call the manager, who speaks English. - Reception is often unattended. - Loud Indonesian neighbor. Loud conversations or shouting from the Indonesian lady—whether 10 meters away across the street or behind my bungalow—are particularly and intensely annoying, especially late at night or in the morning. On the third day, I told her: "You are talking too loud." - The bathroom mirror hangs too low. Who pays so much money for a night's stay? Small Asians who are 1.40 m – 1.50 m tall, or tall Europeans who are 1.90 m (like me) or 2.0 m? As it is, even a child just 0.7 m tall could see themselves in the mirror. - Large hole in the mosquito net, approx. 30 x 40 cm. I showed this to the manager and the receptionist. Nothing was done about it. I eventually patched it myself using adhesive bandages. - The shower water is salty, just like in other hotels. But a bucket of fresh water is placed in the bathroom. - I wouldn't stay in this bungalow again.

- Just a 5-minute walk to the beach and to excellent, affordable restaurants located right on the beachfront. - I saw plenty of turtles. I spotted four turtles within the first hour of swimming. You should be a strong swimmer and have a pair of swim fins. - The bungalow isn't located directly on the beach. On the last night, the waves were very high and the sea was very rough. I slept well regardless, though the people staying in the bungalows right on the beach certainly didn't. - The manager is friendly. - The bungalow looks great; there’s a nice view from the upstairs balcony. - A small breakfast is included and served right outside my bungalow. - Bicycle rental is available. The manager arranges the bike and leaves it right in front of the bungalow. - The manager speaks English. - Breakfast is served very promptly if you let them know your preferred time the day before.

La gentillesse de notre hôte.

La propreté des toilettes

Price, and localisation not too far from the beach

When we arrived around 6pm the room was not ready. We waited for 20minutes before finding a staff member at the place. Staff was only one people, he wasn’t speaking any english we lost time using Google Translate each time. He also was rarely at his desk so he was hard to find for quick informations. He was however a very nice person. Bathroom was full of limescale so the shower and sink were was half-working. No hot water. Shampoo and toilet paper were nearly empty. We did the checkout alone, by closing the door and going out the cottage. Nobody was at the desk.

Ubytování působí moc hezky, hezky pokoj i sprcha. Po žádosti nám přidali prostěradlo a tam byla komunikace už rychlá.

Bohužel jsme měli problém už u příjezdu, když na recepci nikdo nebyl. Začínalo pršet tak jsme se museli “vloupat” do naší chatky, což bylo nepříjemné, ale nechtělo se nám čekat (po zprávě, volání a procházení celého objektu). Večer klimatizace nefungovala, takže bylo strašné vedro a dusno, není tam ani větrák. Snídaně opravdu nevypadá jako na obrázku s ovocem a džusem. Dostaly jsme syrovou omeletu s položeným plátkacem na vrchu a toast. Trochu to vypadalo jako by majitel odjel na prázdniny a nechal to na starost dvoum nezkušeným lidem.

L’emplacement, le personnel, le logement en lui même ! Tout était parfait

Very nice location, close to the sunset beach and snorkeling spots. Very nice staff, flexible and always available if needed. Room is spacious.

Bathroom is open to the outside which can attract moskito and other insects. Not a big deal but could be great to somehow close it from the outside.
