Sampai Jumpa Gili Air

Sampai Jumpa was like a home away from home. Lella was an excellent host and we enjoyed our stay here very much.

2 pools for a few rooms. Cleaned daily. Air con worked well. There is a little outdoor seating area with a ceiling fan that was a lovely spot to read in each afternoon. Room was clean and there was an option for it to be re-cleaned daily. Complimentary shower gel and shampoo. Great peaceful location but close to local cafes and the beach in the north. Owner very friendly towards guests. Pool showers meant I could wash my inevitably-muddle feet before entering my room. Free water refills. It was possible to borrow snorkels. These were a bit grotty {eg the snorkel mouthpiece very chewed, which put me off} - but they are free to use. Beach towels provided in addition to room towels. Comfortable bed with nice white bed linen which was always clean. WiFi was fine. Shower pressure fine but no hot water.

IMPROVEMENTS? I know the owner is relatively new and intends to make lots of imminent improvements, so the following may already be in hand, but: There was a strong chemical smell coming from the bathroom during the entire stay. This also clung to any clothes I tried to dry in there {eg underwear}. When I queried whether it was safe for me to be breathing it in, the owner said it was something to do with preventing cockroaches. I don’t want a cockroach infested room, true, but I had not come across this anywhere else at this budget in Indonesia. Shower-curtain curtains did not block out enough light {see photos}. Glad I brought an eye mask with me. I would suggest replacing these for something thicker. These curtains had to remain closed throughout my stay as people were constantly walking past. My room was adjacent to the seating area where the owner and manager often sat chatting and greeting new guests, so their cigarette smoke often drifted towards my room as well as their chat. That was not relaxing. Floor washed during clean - great! But it remained wet for the rest of the day which also made the tiles slippery. Would be best to dry these off more at the end of the room clean. My main recommendation: provide drying racks for each room, which is what I’ve come to expect from accommodation at this price point in Indonesia {6 different properties}. We were all having to use just the one which meant we resorted to drying wet swimwear and clothes {it rained heavily} on other furniture, which wasn’t ideal and made the place look crowded and untidy. There are laundry options in the neighbourhood but it would be costly to be constantly using these for small washes. No fridge in room. No breakfast included. VALUE FOR MONEY? Because of the above, I felt like the price was a little expensive in comparison to the 8 other properties I’ve stayed in in Bali/Lombok.

The resort is small, only 6 rooms, with 2 lovely swimming pools. The rooms and communal areas are spotlessly clean. The rooms and bathrooms are large, well equipped, have vomfy beds (and great pillows) tastefully decorated and have tea/coffee/toiletries/hairdryer. Mineral water from a large bottle is freely available, meaning less plastic bottles. The resort is very well located, approx 3 minute walk to the beach where there are numerous bars/restaurants where, amongst other things, you can watch the amazing sunsets. The owner, Lella, is a dynamic, creative lady who clearly loves this resort and her guests, and will do whatever she can to make sure her guests are very happy.

We loved everything!

The place is just so nice! Spacious, very clean, room and bathroom with all the facilities that you need. There are also two pools and lounge space for relaxation. You can also refill your water bottle for free. Also The location is perfect. Just two minut walk to the beach, where you can watch amazing sunsets. The area around is quiet, peacful. But what made this place ever more special is the owner. Thank you so much Lella for making the stay one to remember forever. Your kindness is one of a kind. Always there to help, give good recommendations, advice, and all of that with a smile. You can really see that she puts so much effort into her place to create a perfect stay in this lovely island.

Lovely new place right arround the corner from the sunset beach & tasty warungs. Cozy deco. Cleanliness of european standards, efficient AC + fan. Refill water + kettle in the room. 2 pools for 6 rooms so never overcrowded. Very comfy bed. Lovely attentive host + personnel. Not too far from the snorkling areas. Liked it so much we extended our stay 😃

- Lela's kindness, recommandations and attention toward us : she will always make her best to make you feel like home and make sure you don't lack of anything. - The location, close to the beach, in a calm place of Gili Air - The exceptional cleanliness of the room and the place, remarquable for Bali !

Rien du tout !

Property has been seriously renovated since my last vist....and it is great! Lella the owner has done a great job with the property, she genuinely cares about your comfort, is super nice and always available. Peaceful location (can barely hear the mosque and sunset beach a short stroll away), 2 pools, clean and tidy, good wifi, hot shower, and a super fun cat to play with :)

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sampai Jumpa. The hotel is brand-new, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the owner, Lella, and her staff. The room seems to have been carefully planned - thoughtful design and comfort. It's spacious, tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable, and the use of natural materials like bamboo and wood added a tropical feel. Small touches, such toiletries produced with natural ingredients made the experience even more special. I also loved the big shower. And everything was very clean. I had to work for a day during my stay, and the wi-fi in the room was good enough for that (emails, calls, etc.) The location is great, nestled in a tranquil part of the Island, conveniently close to the beach, yet far enough from the main tourist spots to provide a serene, private atmosphere. In addition, the hotel has two very nice swimming pools where you can spend a few hours relaxing. Everything about the hotel was impeccable, and it’s clear that a lot of care and thought has gone into making every guest’s experience extraordinary. I highly recommend Sampai Jumpa for anyone looking to experience the best of Gili Air.
