Zinzi's All-Inclusive Homestay

Wat een unieke ervaring met deze bijzondere gastvrije familie. Een heerlijk rustige plek, weg van het toerisme en back to basic. Vanaf aankomst werden we al hartelijk ontvangen en kwamen de eerste hapjes met thee op tafel. Het gezin met 3 kinderen gaf ons een kijkje in hun dagelijkse leven. Met Jar (papa Zinzi) hadden we gezellige gesprekken en vertelde hij over hun leven in Lombok en de opbouw van hun homestay. Met Purit bracht hij ons naar prachtige rijstvelden, zagen we hoe vrouwen sarongs maakten en woonden we de tradionele Sasak stickfighting bij. De maaltijden die mama Zinzi bereidde met Zinzi en oma: ongelooflijk veel en heerlijk! Wat hebben wij genoten. Onze jarige dochter werd zelfs verrast met gezang en kaarsjes. De avonden waren gezellig, en hadden de kinderen veel lol met elkaar. Oudste dochter Zinzi deed het fantastisch. We hebben een geweldig verblijf gehad. Bedankt en zeker een aanrader.

Very friendly and helpful family. My kids loved it there and wanted to even stay more. The area was a bit upon hill, which had very fresh air. Everything was fresh and natural.

As the family is not rich, they haven't been able to afford a shower with warm water, although they helped us very much with getting warm to shower ourselves. The area is a bit far the seaside and main shopping mall. But near very near the rijani mountain for hikers!

If you want a true Lombok (Sasak) experience, this is the perfect place to stay. The homestay is modest but very clean, plus what makes it special is the wonderful family with their huge welcoming hearts. The home-cooked food was absolutely delicious—and if you’d like something different, you can simply buy special ingredients at the local market, and they’ll prepare a fantastic meal for you. They were even thoughtful enough to offer me earplugs for the early morning prayers, which shows how much they care about their guests. During my stay, I truly felt like part of their extended family—taking it slow, walking around the rice fields, and enjoying the rhythm of everyday village life. Thank you all for welcoming me as one of your own. I wish you the very best. With love, Branka

I liked everything.

Jar and Rusmini went out of their way to welcome us into their home, we were greeted with warmth and immediately the delicious food began. The family were kind enough to invite us to eat with them and spend time chatting and snacking with them and the extended family. The tour we did with Jar was great and showed the rural life of Lombok. The food and hospitality were the highlight of this stay. If you are looking for a genuine homestay you won't regret coming here. As already mentioned in other reviews, expect an early wake-up from the Mosques and cockerels next door (4am ish). It didn‘t detract from our stay. Thank you Jar and Rusmini for an unforgettable stay, we miss you and the banquets!

Amazing local experience within the amazing familly. Amazing, various food is given for the meals (i asked for local breakfast which was great experience too) in quantities and variety you cant imagine. You can also get organized trips to the beach / monkey forest-waterfalls- rice fileds or other taxi drop off.

Das war ein absoluter Glückstreffer! Wir wurden stutzig als wir all inclusive homestay gelesen haben und mussten es einfach ausprobieren. Die Familie ist so liebenswert und das Essen von Rose war unglaublich! Es ist nicht vergleichbar mit den ganzen Warungs in denen wir vorher gegessen habt... Das ist wirkliche indonesische Küche, und es war so viel das wir nie alles essen konnten. Abgesehen von dem Essen haben wir wir hier die nettesten Menschen überhaupt kennengelernt. Sie haben uns alle Highlights in Tete Batu und Umgebung gezeigt. Und es sind Erinnerungen die ich niemals vergessen werde. Jar und seine Familie wurden zu unseren zweiten Familie. Ich würde jederzeit wieder bei ihnen einchecken. Eines meiner besten Erlebnisse in Indonesien! Deswegen, kamen wir auch noch mal zurück. Danke für die gemeinsame Zeit! Unbezahlbar.

Le meilleur sejour de notre aventure je le recommande +++ les hôtes sont adorable rusmini , jar et leurs enfants sont des personnes formidables ils nous ont accueilli comme si on fesait parti de leur famille . Rusmina cuisine incroyablement bien . Prévoyez d’y rester au moins 2 nuits pour vraiment profiter et etre avec eux . En bref n’hesitez pas vous vivrez chez eux et comme eux

We loved every minute we spent at Zinzi‘s Homestay. Our guest family put in a tremendous effort to make this an unforgettable and authentic experience. We shared every meal, the food was incredible. At the same time it never felt like an obligation to spend the time with the family. We always felt like we have our own space. Our host also took us to some local events, showed us around and was super helpful with any kind of further questions regarding our travels. All together our short visit felt like making friends with the family. We’ll come back for sure.

Een fantastisch verblijf in 2 kamers daadwerkelijk bij de mensen thuis. De eigenaar neemt je overal mee naar toe (o.a. stokgevecht, plaatselijke markt, watervallen, pottenbakken, weverij) en het eten was ook verrukkelijk. Het hele gezin helpt mee om er een geweldige ervaring van te maken.

Het enige nadeel is de oproep tot het gebed van de naastgelegen moskeeen en de hanen 's ochtends vroeg. Maar dat heb je bijna overal op Lombok.

From the moment I arrived, Jar, Rose, and their family made me feel at home and very well fed. I wanted to escape the chaos of Kuta and it was so lovely to stay here for a more authentic experience. I felt like part of the family as we shared meals and chatted about our cultures. It was so fun hanging and playing with their girls. Jar organized various activities in the area such as scooter rides to the rice fields, a weaving workshop, and a trip to the local market. Rose was so kind and did my laundry during my stay as well as non-stop cooked the most amazing meals! This experience was just what I was looking for—the real Lombok!

Their house is near a mosque so expect early wake-up call to prayers!
