Jonny's Places

Nice homestay, they also provide tours, you can order dinner or lunch.

After 6 months of travelling around South East Asia, I can now tell that Tetebatu is one of my favourite’s place, thanks to Jonny and his family. They’re the sweetest hosts ever. I cannot recommend more this place: I did 2 of the tours they offer, and it was simply the best experience. Also the food is absolutely delicious. Thank you for everything, I’ll never forget my time here.

The house is pleasantly located among the fields, with friendly hosts and sociable dogs.

As for the house itself, I’d mention the almost non-existent soundproofing and a very weak shower, but those are minor things I could easily live with. However, the two days I spent there ended up being very uncomfortable, and here’s why: During both days, I had to constantly beg the hosts for internet access. In reality, out of three rooms, only one gets any Wi-Fi signal, and even when I was moved there for one night (after multiple complaints), the internet still cut out completely by 10 PM. Suggestions like “we’ll turn on a mobile phone hotspot when you need it” or “you can stand near the room with signal and try to connect from there” don’t exactly feel like a comfortable solution. No, seriously — I think the number of times I had to complain that the Wi-Fi had stopped working again, or that it was connected but without internet, easily exceeded ten times in just two days. I need internet for work, for planning the next stages of my trip, and frankly for relaxing — watching a movie before bed or chatting with friends. Especially when there’s not much to do in the area after dark. And this constant, frustrating need to beg for a signal just wore me down and ruined my entire experience at this place. > upd after owner's reply: no, it's not a "one issue after 10pm", it's a constant problems with the WiFi network inside the house (many times during my staying) and also with the internet provider (at least 2 times for 2 days).

Jonny was a great host. The meals were beautiful. The location is so peaceful. A beautiful place to stay.

Stunning views of mountains in the middle of rice paddies. Jonny and his family are warm and welcoming. The room is spacious and very comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better experience

Nothing, I loved it. Make sure you ask for the exact location as there’s no road. You have to drive through the rice paddy to get to the property.

The breakfast was great, especially the vegetable curry. Icha is a very good cook!

Everything was great, especially Jonny's singing and guitar playing

We like everything but especially princes Peggy! Jonny’s walking tour was amazing and our stay truly felt like a home away from home

Nothing

So welcoming, felt like part of the family, especially doing Was an cooking course on the open fire. Bike tour with Jonny was spectacular. Cultural villages tour with Tiki also a highlight. One of the best experiences I've had in many years of travelling. The rooms have great views over jungle or rice fields and My Rinjani, depending which side you are on.

Nothing I didn't like about this place. I miss it already. I found it by word of mouth from someone who liked it as much as me. I ate very well for a few days for very little.
