Guest Reviews
- Hannah (8/5): Fun hostel, - My first night the room was so hot as the aircon is way high up in the big rooms, so they moved me to a better room for free, another dorm room but better aircon. Toilets and showers good, beds comfy although not ones with curtains, just beds so a bit exposed when you’d rather have privacy. Breakfast was good, they made me pancakes with no eggs as I’m allergic, so happy about that. Nice bar in front with events every day. Great to hire bikes too and quick laundry. No privacy of the beds.

- Rui (7/5): - Very good location, near the harbor, staff are lovely, but, it's too noisy at night, they have parties all the time and you cannot sleep well....
- Zakkaria (10/5): -
- Louise (9/5): Leuk hostel voor Gili T - Het personeel is echt heel leuk. Ze organiseren ook hele leuke activiteiten, de boatparty is dan ook een absolute aanrader. Ik heb het hier echt heel erg naar mijn zin gehad en genoten De douche wordt niet warm, maar ik vind dat zelf niet zo’n groot probleem, vooral niet omdat het warm is op Gili T. Wat misschien wel een klein minpuntje is, de airco staat vrij koud en je hebt slechts een dun lakentje om onder te slapen dus kan het fris zijn
- Mauri (7/5): -
- Ryan (9/5): Came for 1 night, hired a bike which they were able to help me out with. Was happily greeted by staff every time, which - Location and how nice and helpful the staff were. Nothing I can think of
- Wouter (8/5): -
- Márcia (10/5): Perfect - Everyone is so nice and the mattresses are very comfy also, I stayed upstairs in one of the shared rooms and felt I had my own private room.
Toilets are clean, hot water , amazing location and a lot of activities

- Christensson (10/5): -
- Yasir Arafat Rabby (9/5): - Location Great stay at In the Hostel! Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe. Perfect spot to chill and meet other travelers. Would definitely stay again
- Viktorija (10/5): - Staff is super welcoming and friendly. Specious rooms with comfortable beds. Nice that there is sports bar nearby (Lava), where you can decide join activities or not. they organise bingo, karaoke or music quiz nights which is fun.
- LUELI GARDNER (6/5): Não voltaria - Localização Quarto e banheiros sujos, as paredes do banheiro não chegam até o forro então fica uma fresta onde pode entrar bichos. Tem bar no hostel aberto ao
Público então o barulho é bem ruim
- Leena (9/5): -
- Figueredo (9/5): - La atención del personal, siempre sonriente y amable, te llamaban por tu nombre
El desayuno es bueno
La ubicación es excelente
Y siempre disponibles para ayudarte en todo Las habitaciones no tienen cortinas en las camas, seria un plus
- Daniela (10/5): - Tutto! Posizione ottima e staff super gentile e disponibile per ogni dubbio o problema!
Le camere inoltre sono molto ampie e si sta benissimo, ci si sente a casa! Grazieee

- mika (8/5): - スタッフがとてもフレンドリーでよかった!
- Ambre (8/5): - L’emplacement, l’espace billard et chill à l’étage,
La chambre était grande, la gentillesse des gens et en particulier de Ery. Pas grand chose
- Sofia (8/5): Buen precio -calidad - Las personas que trabajan ahí, todos muy simpáticos y atentos siempre intentando hacerme sentir cómoda Los baños no funcionaban muy bien pero nada que fuera muy remarcable
- Monika (8/5): -
- Nicolà Giuseppe (8/5): -
- Sofie (7/5): - Lief personeel. Tijdens het laagseizoen waren er niet ontzettend veel gasten, maar ik denk dat je er in het hoog seizoen goed mensen kan ontmoeten De kamers voelden een beetje oud aan. Geen gordijntjes voor privacy.
- Nouman (10/5): Highly recommnded hostel, - What I really liked about the property was the personal touch. When I arrived at the hostel and walked towards the reception, the receptionist greeted me by my name even before I introduced myself. It was quite impressive and showed how well they prepare for their guests and keep track of who is arriving.
The staff ‘Ery’ was very cooperative and welcoming throughout my stay. Due to availability, they also offered me a room without sharing, which I truly appreciated.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Gili Beach Bum Hostel.
- Bautista (2/5): - Room 1 is extremely noisy: you can hear everything from the billard upstairs as well as the street noise. There were also karaoke nights that went on very late, making it hard to get proper rest. Towels are charged separately, and while the staff tries to be friendly, they can come across as a bit overwhelming.
- Tomas (7/5): -
- Amaris (7/5): Good enough - The hostel is very close to the port and located on the mainroad where all the shops and parties are. It has a bar and they can help you with booking tours and transport. The staff (thank you Ina and Ery!) are very kind. The dorms don't offer much privacy. Also the karaoke bar is nice to go to, but if you want to sleep instead you will need earplugs. Lastly, the dorms tend to get humid and lack decoration/a nice vibe.
- Gaurav (9/5): - I had a great stay at this beachside hostel and would definitely recommend it to fellow travelers. The location is excellent—just steps away from the beach—making it very convenient and perfect for a relaxed coastal vibe.
The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is filled with good people and positive energy. A special mention to Erry at the reception, who was genuinely helpful, approachable, and made the check-in experience smooth and pleasant. His attitude really adds to the hostel’s charm. If there’s one small downside, it would be that padlocks are not provided for the lockers, which would have been useful. Aside from that minor point, everything else was great, and I truly enjoyed my time here.

- Robert-Laurentiu (10/5): Refreshing relaxing experience with party vibes in the night - Relaxing quiet in the day and nice party in the evening hosted by Dani the Mc from the Lava bar , amazing staff friendly and helpful , Ary from reception was always looking up if i need any assistance , there are also 2 small cats by the reception that are soo sweet , i will return again here when i am in Gili 🫶🏼🥰🌞 Everything was perfect
- Adeel (8/5): Except wifi, everything was good - Good location The slow wifi. Every time you use mobile, you first beed to log on to wifi through captive page pop up which was quite painful. WiFi should be open like other hotels.
- Alina (10/5): Super! - Location war super!! Super nettes Personal und einfaches aber gutes Frühstück. Die Zimmer sind riesig und super schön. In der Nacht hört man den Gesang aus der Moschee extrem gut. Nach der 2. Nacht haben wir uns aber daran gewöhnt und sind nicht mehr aufgewacht.

- Sudhanshu (10/5): - Staff is very friendly ❤️
- Kristina (9/5): - Nice common area to make friends during your trip. Host are super nice and friendly. They are also quite informative. Nice breakfast in the morning. The place is very convenient, close to restaurants, cafe, shops and pharmacy. A beachfront hostel where you can find more activities such as boardpaddling, kayaking and snorkling. Nice breakfast around 8.30. The hostel is right in front of Lava Bar that you can visit for a drink and hangout, there will be some more activities at the rooftop bar on the hostel. The host was so nice that we could do early check in. Most of all, I miss those, two cute guardians of the hostel, handsome Puma and Naia (or Nayla?) Hahahaha 🥰
- Youssef (8/5): - The location was great
Nice breakfast as well and clean rooms No privacy in the dorm and the wifi kelt asking for logging in every time you connect to it
- yaelle (3/5): - הצוות ממש נחמד ויש אווירה טובה בהוסטל. המיקום מעולה. מחיר תואם את מה שמקבלים. אם אתם מחפשים מקום זול וקרוב למרכז זה מעולה, אבל התנאים לא משהו.. המיטות לא נוחות, הקירות דקים ויש הרבה רעש בין החדורים. הכל מרגיש ישן ולא מתוחזק.
- Samuel (7/5): - They have snorkeling tours and night activities. The beds have no privacy at all.
- Lorenza (10/5): Super consigliato - Lo staff era gentilissimo e simpatico. La camera e i bagni puliti, l’aria condizionata funzionava alla perfezione e la colazione era buona.

- Antonella (10/5): - La ubicación y el personal, todos fueron un amor Las camas no tenían cortinas con lo cual puede ser medio incómodo a la hora de dormir
- pitel (10/5): - Salle de bain propre emplacement parfait, bel hostel Pas de rideaux car lit simple juste dans la chambre
- Jennifer (9/5): - Loved the staff especially Rina 😉 they were really kind and helped straight away.
Loved the activities the hostel did each night and the whole atmosphere was just amazing.
- Mayur (9/5): Overall good. - Location and cleanliness (do visit banana cafe near this hostel) Too Noisy at the night because it is very close to the bar.
- Tara (10/5): -
- Dlamoratta (9/5): - Buena ubicación cerca del puerto y de la calle principal. Si piensas descansar temprano, no es el citio. Bar con Karaoke justo debajo hasta las 12pm.
- Bruna (9/5): It’s nice, good price - Clean, good staff, karaoke every night very social If you don’t like karaoke or if you go to sleep early (before midnight), you might gonna find problems to sleep while the bar is open (closes around 0h)
- lina (9/5): -
- adhiyaman (10/5): -
- Oumaima (7/5): -
- Sascha (6/5): - The bathroom smelled like gasoline.
- adhiyaman (10/5): The best beachfront hostel i have stayed in yet - Centrally located and was right on the beachfront. It was simply terrific and amazing. A large terrace where breakfast was served, which brings to another important point that the breakfast was free of cost and for that price it’s simply amazing. The place was So good that I extended my stay for another three days. Also, you have an karaoke night every day in front of the hostel and on three of the five nights, it had quite the vibe The Wi-Fi login used to keep coming up. Basically, every time you connect to their Wi-Fi you need to login with their username password. Though a minor inconvenience, but it was almost noticeable by everyone who stayed around the time i stayed there
- Giulia (9/5): -
- Conrad (10/5): Vibe, location, staff , cleanliness all top shelf - I was greeted by the wonderful ari at reception who ran me through all the details and showed me my room.
Space permitted me to have a dorm room to myself for which I was very grateful 🙏
The location couldn't be better, beach front and an open upstairs communal area, bar, restaurant to take in the breeze with your beverages. Perfect distance from pier.
Downstairs, the bar seemed to be one of the hottest tickets in town but didnt disturb this early bird in the dorms.
Staff were all friendly, helpful and engaging.
Highly recommended Not much to not like.
Privacy curtains round the beds would be an improvement for the share rooms.

- konstantinos (7/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Mack (1/5): - It was awful the reviews are a lie. The WiFi didn’t work, the sockets were broken, the shower and toilet didn’t lock. The breakfast was very minimal. The staff were nice and the bar downstairs is good. It’s not very social so a poor choice for a solo traveller The lack of basic facilities
- Dedy (10/5): - The breakfast was very complete and delicious No pool
- Bidelkis (9/5): - My stay at Gili Beach Bum was amazing. Ery was a great host always kind, attentive, and helpful. The vibe of the place is fantastic, especially during the karaoke nights, which are full of energy and fun thanks to the awesome people who run it. Definitely a place with great energy and great people!

- Linda (9/5): -
- Pierre (6/5): -
- Anjali (9/5): - I really enjoyed my stay here! The place is spacious, very clean, and everything is close by, which made getting around super easy. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, but apart from that, it was an amazing stay overall.
- valentin (8/5): Petit séjour à gili T emplacement super pratique - L’emplacement, dortoir de 3 lits uniquement Nothing
- Aditya (10/5): -
- Landa (10/5): -
- Joaquin (3/5): -
- Freya (9/5): - No bunk beds, lots of space in the room, incredibly friendly staff, lovely free breakfast
- lu (10/5): 非常棒下次一定会住 - 位置非常好码头佩妮达抵达码头,出来右转五分钟即达。对面就是海滩 若睡眠不好的请慎选,门口有酒吧晚上会到12点
- James (7/5): Great location. Great hostel, though Gili T wasn't for me - Great location right next to main drag No towels. Found out later you could rent one for just 5k. Why not just include this in the price?
- Mark (10/5): A good dorm accommodation - Great location near the main intersection for everything, and not a big walk to the beach.
Staff for lovely.
All facilities were clean and in good condition.
If solo, or looking to meet people, make sure you go for the breakfast, because that is where you meet the other backpackers.
- Cristian (8/5): -
- Josué Pérez Moncayo (9/5): - My room was very comfortable. AC remote control is in the room so you can control the temperature. Mr. Ery was nice and very attentive.
It is a party hostel that sometimes can be very loud, but does not pass 00h30. For me that was tolerable, but if you are very picky with this, then you could feel annoyed. I was told that the breakfast begins 8 am, but the kitchen lady just begins setting up things 8h10 am. It seems that in Indonesia this type of delay to open is common, but this can be trouble for those that have early activities like diving.
- Pilar (10/5): - A big thanks to ERY, great person, always friendly and happy to help. Very nice staff, big bedrooms, perfect location, good breakfast
- Steven (9/5): Gezellige hostel - Locatie in de hoofdstraat en vanaf een steenworp van het strand. Sociaal en party tot 00uur daarna muisstil.
- Bethany (10/5): - Very helpful staff and the excursions were amazing. I did the party boat and snorkeling. My room was very close to the bar so a little noisy in the evening but everything was quiet by midnight so fine for partiers.
- Luisina (10/5): -
- Stéphanie (8/5): Un emplacement au top, un personnel accueillant, un petit déjeuner copieux. - La localisation est top et le personnel charmant. Le petit déjeuner est très agréable
Les activites proposées entretiennent l’ambiance Il n’y a aucun rangement dans les dortoirs, pas même une étagère… de quoi suspendre des vêtements.
- Dinda (10/5): - spacious none
- María (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Gili T, specially if you’re travelling solo and you want to feel at home while meeting new peop - My stay at Gili Beach Bum was amazing! The room and the facilities were clean, the bed was comfortable and it is convenient that you don’t need to share the room with many people (I shared with two people and the size of the room and the bathroom was more than enough).
Also the staff welcomes you and makes you feel at home and comfortable from day 1, they are always there to help you if you need to!
The location is also great since it’s close to basically everything!
Overall it’s a great place to stay and to meet people if you’re travelling solo (or not) also because they organize many activities.
I’d highly recommend!! There is quite some noise, specially at night time because of the bar, the music and activities like karaoke, but this was expected and I had no issues sleeping just putting my ear plugs.
- Nguyen (8/5): Super endroit pour faire la fête et rencontrer du monde - Le staff était superbe ! Une ambiance très familiale et fetarde. La propreté de la salle de bain est à revoir mais c’est uniquement car elle est partagé entre 3 dortoirs, c’est donc à chacun de maintenir l’endroit propre
- Hicret (8/5): Nice nice and nice - Thank you the manager is so professional, staff is smiley . The place is so cool . Should each bad has a small lamp because when you turn off the light it is dark. I am thinking and can’t find a bad thing . Just I was upset because of booking.com itself took 2 times booking whole payment from my account.
