Syaqila Homestay Lombok

The host was very friendly, he cooks really well and is keen to show you around the village he grew up in. The room is clean and spacious. The location is incredible. The view over the rice fields from the restaurant is really nice, an oasis of rest.

Sometimes the water was not on but quickly fixed

If I could have given more stars I would have done so. Amet is simply a spectacular man in everything. He really made me feel at home and part of his family. The place makes you breathless, the view from the terrace is wonderful. You can see both sunrise and sunset. There is a place to work if you want with Wi-Fi which is important to me. Breakfast is included and he has several alternatives, I tried them all. I always had dinner there too because he is a super cook, all the dishes were delicious. Water, coffee tea at will. The room is very clean and super scented. There is also a laundry service if you ask. I went on a tour with him and he was my guide, waterfalls, bambo village, pottery, he explained a lot of things also about coffee cultivation. I also went to a traditional wedding. I could write a poem about how good I had a good time. Unfortunately I had to continue my trip, I was very sorry to leave. Book here because you will not be disappointed!

Nothing, everything was simply perfect!!

This is a brand new homestay, but Ahmed, the owner has years of experience working in homestays and he has created the perfect place. It really does feel like a home. Everything about my stay here was amazing The place is so clean, the room is really big and comfortable. Has great views of rice fields and you can watch the sunrise and sunset from the homestay. All the meals i had were delicious. There are loads of food options available, with loads of vegetarian options avaliable too and it's the perfect opportunity to try some local food (make sure you try the lombok chilli) pictured- the jackfruit curry Ahmed also offers many tours both walking and on scooter. Both the tours I did were amazing and very informative. I learnt a lot about the local culture, food and medicine. Ahmed is one of the best hosts/ tour guides I have had in 10 months of travelling. He goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a good stay. The village is also so beautiful and the locals are so friendly. Overall, I loved my stay here and if I had the time I would have spent a lot longer here.
