- Gunkina (10/5): - Отель, персонал, территория просто супер-турба. Очень красиво и ухожено. Заселение и выселение прошло легко. Рекомендасьен!

- Iñigo (8/5): -
- Steven Ojeda (9/5): - The staff was really friendly and helped us with all of our needs. Super recommended for staying relaxed.
- Wilhelmina (7/5): - De rust en het personeel. De kamers waren prima we misten alleen een koelkast en de flesjes water maar dat zijn kleine puntjes De ligging, we moesten best wel ver lopen van alles en s'avond toch de route aanzetten anders verdwaalde we
- Marie therese (1/5): Le pire du pire de la crasse - Rien ! La crasse, la vétusté de tout l’établissement, le personnel …..
1 er soir ( porte salle de bain verrouillée de l’intérieur)
2 eme jour ( chambre pas faite) la réponse du personnel « j’ai oublié » obliger de quémander des serviettes propres ! La télé ne fonctionne pas, juste un drap housse et une couverture, aucun produit de douche, aucun rangement, la Clim qui fuit à grosse gouttes, même pas un verre dans la chambre, juste 3 cintres pour accrocher nos habits sur les tringles à rideaux , aucun rangement possible, nos valises sont restés faite et sous le lit ( environ 70cm sépare le lit du mur , des 2 cotés) 3 eme soir ( plus d’électricité dans la salle de bain) , il n’y a rien pour étendre des serviettes humide, le petit déjeuner c’est ( une crêpe pas cuite et un café ! Pas d’eau en bouteille dans la chambre ni au petit déjeuner. Le personnel est exploité, ils dorment sur un matelas derrière l’accueil, se lave et ….. ! Le patron est passé 2 fois, jamais un bonjour. Chaque jour, obligé de demander de faire la chambre ! Le drap housse n’a jamais été changé en 9 nuits. C’était une horreur notre séjour ! Il devait nous louer 2 vélos , vélos en mauvais état, voir dangereux
Nous les avons pris en arrivant et gardé juste le temps de trouver de bon vélo , nous avons payé 100k pour 3 h et 2 vélos ! Ailleurs c’est 65k par jour pour 2 vélos
Pas de frigidaire bien sûr, pas de serviette de piscine ( comme indiqué dans le descriptif de l’hôtel) ça ne vaut pas plus de 20€ la nuit ! Il y a tellement mieux et propre ailleurs pour le même tarif. Nous avons aussi eu droit à la douche bouché, le lavabo fuit ( nous l’avons signalé) et …….
Il y à tellement à dire sur cet endroit ! Fuyez
J’ai fait confiance aux avis ! Erreur, les gens ont du confondre séjour à Gili T à séjour dans cette auberge de jeunesse ! Il n’a que le nom de resort , des guesthouse plus chaleureuse , propre se trouve à coté
Pas de papier toilette, obligé de réclamer chaque matin….
- Julia (10/5): -
- Emmanuelle (5/5): - La gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel. La situation géographique est très bien, au calme au milieu de l'île.
Les chambres sont de taille correcte et les salles de bain spacieuses L'état global du resort. Il est urgent de faire des travaux à tous les niveaux ! Extérieur, salle de bain, chambre, etc...tout est à améliorer.
Il faut aussi revoir la question du petit déjeuner dont le choix est particulièrement succinct.
Dès l'entrée, le lavabo extérieur ne vous donne pas envie de rester.
Les photos sont trompeuses.
- Alejandra (5/5): - Buena ubicación y tranquilo La piscina era mas bien agua estancada, ningun mantenimiento. El baño estaba plagado de hormigas, pedimos que lo limpiaran y aun asi a la mañana siguiente no se podia ni usar ya que el suelo estaba plagado. Desayuno incluido y fuimos a primera hora que era a las 8am y aun asi, sin haber nadie mas, casi perdemos la excursión que teniamos contratada a las 9:30 porque despues de 1 hora seguiamos esperando que lo preparasen.
- AURORE (9/5): -
- DANDU (8/5): -
- Cristina (9/5): -
- Madeleine (10/5): - Die Lage, die Atmosphäre, die Herzlichkeit der Menschen
- Nana voyage (5/5): Des progrès à faire en urgence - La gentillesse du personnel , Alvin a été adorable !
Son équipe nettoyait tout le temps et merci à eux. Un équipement de salle de bain abîmé, des meubles de chambre qui ne ferment pas, la lumière insuffisante, le mobilier de piscine, indignes d'un RESORT
Ne surtout pas utiliser le lavabo et les WC à l'entrée de l'hôtel...un choc !
Tout est rafistolé au lieu d'être réparé
Le jardin autour de la piscine manque de plantes
Le mobilier de piscine à renouveler
Les vélos sont dans un piteux état
Le petit-déjeuner bien maigre
Il faut REPARER et mettre les MOYENS quand on accueille du monde
- Olga (5/5): На одну ночь - Чтож, из плюсов могу отметить удобную кровать и тишину (хотя утром в 5 утра была слышна молитва, но не громко), Есть веранда где сушить вещи, персонал старается помочь. Очень грязная ванна, пришлось попросить помыть полы.. тк ходить было неприятно, старая душевая лейка - уже давно на замену! Комары. В целом номер прям древний, когда то был очень хороший, но сейчас нужен капитальный ремонт 🥲
- Douwe (10/5): Exceptional - Alvin helped us out almost with everything, legend.
- Michel (10/5): Exceptional - The staf is the best
- Jed (8/5): Very good -
- Filleux (10/5): An unforgettable stay with amazing hosts, great advice, and incredible experiences like turtle watching and electric sco - An incredible stay thanks to our amazing host!
Wonderful people who gave us great advice throughout our trip. We did a day trip to see the turtles an unforgettable adventure! We also had the chance to rent electric scooters, which made getting around really easy. Thank you so much again! I 100% recommend!
- Inès (6/5): Not worth it - The room in itself is nice, and the pool The staff is never there, the room overall and mostly the bathroom was really not clean. When we arrived the bathroom was flooded and there we foot step stains on the floor of the bedroom. We told the owner, he fixed the flooding, but the room didn’t get cleaned. Also, it’s far from everything
- Anonymous (4/5): Mislead by the photos and information - thankfully only stayed 2 nights !! - Staff were as helpful as the language situation allowed Advertising was obviously out of date - whole place was in need of TLC
- Frederik (9/5): Superb - The Bungalow rooms are amazing! A lot of Mosquitos in the room but spray from reception did the job
- Veena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bushra (10/5): Exceptional - The room, the comfy bed and the staff were amazing. I would stay there again. Thanks
- Henry (7/5): Very nice and friendly host - Staff Location
- Megan (7/5): Perfect with amazing staff! - The staff made the property what it was. Alvin was amazing and so friendly and kind. He made our stay very special. Thank you Alvin and to the other members of staff too. The pool was a little dirty so we didn’t use it.
- Ine (7/5): Good - Very good location in the center, friendly staff, clean room, laundry service and bike rental Bad smell and black mould in the bathroom, wifi barely worked, pool area looked bit sad, small sober breakfast
- Shahram (10/5): Exceptional - Hotel workers were extremely friendly and helpful.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was always available, and the staff were very helpful and supportive. I could rent a bike directly at the accommodation and sign up for local activities on-site, which was super convenient. They even helped me with my suitcase when one of the wheels was broken – really appreciated the kindness and service!
As a solo female traveler, I also felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout my stay. Nothing to complain about
- Nitin (6/5): Alvin was very good in service. He helped us with proper information - Good room Brake fast. They must keep options for Vegetarians and more options
- Hritwick (9/5): Superb -
- Nguyen (10/5): Good sleep and great bathrooms, LOVED THE BED, would recommend for a good sleep at night, also shower was sooo good comp - Comfy beds and nice rooms and staff, loved it there, will come back Got nothing to say tbh
- Nickel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jose (10/5): Exceptional - AMAZING staff, huge bed and clean rooms
- Alessia (9/5): Staff made our trip great - Staff were amazing, especially Sam It is what it is, but good enough for us
- Salvatore (5/5): Nice outdoors but rooms and water system to improve - The staff helps you with renting bikes and with tours.
Nice outdoors with pool and trees.
Good breakfast. The bathroom was smelly because of the water. At our arrival, cold water was missing, later fixed by the staff. From the second day the smell was better but no cold water again. Recommended to brush teeth with bottled water.
Mosquitos all the time in the room caused by lack of net in the bathroom.
- Megan (10/5): We loved every moment, a big thank you to our brothers at banana leaf🫶 - Our favourite stay in Indonesia so far, the most incredible, friendly staff you could ask for.
Comfortable bed, beautiful traditional room.
The Banana pancakes and the omelette breakfast are absolutely delicious.
Norman, Jimmy and the rest of the staff can organise snorkelling, transfers, bike rental and laundry for a really good price.
The sunset snorkel is a must to see the gili turtles and lots of beautiful fish!
We were very sad to leave and would love to return! Nothing!
The only thing we would mention is that the water in our room was not hot, however as the island is so warm this was not an issue for us at all and was actually very nice.
Would also be handy to have a seperate hand towel provided too 😊
- Kristof (6/5): Okay but I would not returt - The staff were ready to help in any needs. No hot water. The cleaning had some major problems (shower was full of moldy wet hair, water was coming back when shower was opened, disgusting dirt beside bed and next to walls
- Dimitris (9/5): Excellent with some random problems - Everything’s was great There was a general area problem with electricity and a problem with the warm water that it was fixed
- Lorraine (10/5): Excellent - The accommodation was clean and spacious and all facilities worked well. The staff were always friendly and very helpful. We really
Enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Nothing
- Lauren (8/5): Very good - The host was amazing and incredibly friendly! Room was good and great value for money! Shower was a bit weak
- Sanne (9/5): Perfect location, pool, staff. All very helpful to relax. - Beautiful cottage, nice and clean.
Big bed, lots of space for luggage.
Swimming pool was cool 😎
Breakfast pancakes and omelets perfect for us.
Bike rent available. Staff was so friendly. Can’t think of anything.
- Hollie (8/5): Very good - We loved our stay here. My desire was for quiet, away from the mosque, and roosters, and yes, it was lovely and quiet.
No problem to walk everywhere.
A good hot water shower, too and large comfy bed.
The staff are incredibly helpful. Thanks, Norman, Jimmy, and Sam!
I think the term 'resort' is not quite the right terminology here. Bungalows would be better.
All up, what you would expect for the price and good value for money.
- Rita (8/5): Very good - Very friendly staff
Good breakfast
Bike rental
- Logan (10/5): Exceptional - Banana leaf was in the perfect location. It was a 10 minute walk inland which made it very quiet and peaceful during the night. The air conditioning, pool, and breakfast were fantastic. Norm, who works at the front desk, knows pretty much everyone and everything on the island and even rescued us when we missed our boat back from Gili air. Staying here every time we go back to Gili T.
- Rosie (6/5): Not worth the money. - Location was good. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was nice. Shower was very bad, barely any water came out at all. For 6 days this wasn’t good as we didn’t feel clean the whole time. There was a lot of bugs/lizards in the bedroom/bathroom which made us very on edge.
- Seecharan (9/5): Defiantly worth it. - Lovely place, nice pool and lovely rooms/huts. Not great location because no cars on the island so you'll have to carry your backpack or suitcase a bit far but overall it's nice. About 15 minute walk from main town. Location wasn't great but can't be helped.
- Audrey (10/5): Exceptional - Really kind staff and the place is calm and the room is nice looking with a lot of space
- Lorna (10/5): Exceptional - Norman and the team made us feel very welcome and at home from the moment we arrived. Spacious and comfortable room, lovely peaceful part of the island but easy walking/cycling to everything. Refreshing pool to cool off in at the end of a hot day! Helped organise snorkeling trip and boat back to Bali for us, stress free. Not a problem but there was no soap in the bathroom.
- Daniel (9/5): Very clean and good rest - Very welcoming and attentive staff, always focused on details and keepi g everything clean and tidy. A bit far from main areas of the island (around 15 min walk), but very quiet and green.
- Zoe (9/5): Excellent - Own little but very big comfortable bed Just abit far out but that’s ok
- Yara (8/5): Very good -
- Lopez (7/5): Good - Fantastic location, right in the middle of the island, so super easy to get anywhere and no external noise. Staff were fab and super helpful. Lighting in the room was very dark (little bit dungeony) and the shower wasn’t
- Jolita (10/5): Exceptional - Accidently they had double booking for the same room so first night they gave Me cheapier option in Banana leaf bungalow. Wasn't that good as resort but was ok and I paid less, plus they took Me for free from pier with electricbike and next day brought Me to resort house. And on the end they brought Me pier again. So very helpful guys! .
- David (9/5): Excellent - Fantastic staff Nothing
- Maria (10/5): Lovely staff and cute rooms! - Everything! The room was cute, clean and big, delicious breakfast (you have to try the omelete), the pool was clean… But the best of Banana Leaf is the service. Norman helped with everything, he is always there to provide facilities about everything, also Omar and all the staff.
We loved the location, you are in the middle of the island and can go everywhere by 5 mins by bike (and you stay away of the party). Nothing
- Icha (8/5): Very good -
- Gabija (9/5): Lovely and Peaceful - Loveeeedd staying here! Norman and Sam were so kind, welcoming and helpful, I cannot thank them enough! The room itself was gorgeous, the breakfast was lovely and filling, and there are even bikes at the resort that you can use to get around the island. The location is not too far from anything but being in the middle of the island made it much more peaceful. So happy I chose to stay here, would definitely recommend!!! I personally didn't use the TV but it was pretty high up and quite small, though it really didn't bother me. The only issue I had was that the aircon did leak a bit, though that is to be expected because of the humidity.
- Hannah (10/5): An amazing stay from start to finish. The whole team were so friendly and helpful (especially Jimmy!). Delicious breakfa - Beautiful, clean and modern rooms. Amazing A/C and very comfy beds! Nothing!!
- Tayin (10/5): Loved our stay in Banana Leaf resort - Great stay. Friendly staff and good people. Also good location in the middle, so you can easily go to west or east. We stayed during our honeymoon. We also did snorkling with turtles and other activities. None
- Mattia (9/5): Kindest people, really friendly and welcoming. I recommend
this place !!! - They are so friendly and couldn't do more for you if you tried, Sam thanks for helping us with our luggage back to the port. They had a really nice breakfast and coffee whenever we wanted. The room was nice, comfy and they had room service each day. Location means you do a lot of walking to get to places (or take a bike) but coming from Bali when you cannot walk easily we were fine with this. It felt like a very homely stay!!! Thanks a lot
- Ross (10/5): Great staff and perfect rooms! - Everything! This is one of the best places I have ever stayed. The staff are all outstanding and are so kind and polite. The room was fantastic size with great facilities and aircon.
They helped us with bikes, washing and even a snorkeling trip. Breakfast was included which we didn't know and was also great.
Mr Norman the manager is so friendly and keeps you laughing. He takes a general interest and wants you to have fun. On our last day they even took our stuff to the ferry port for us and lent us bikes so we did not have to walk. Make sure you choose this place! Nothing in all honesty... they couldn't of been more friendly and made our stay perfect.
They are based in the middle of the island but everything is in walking distance.
- Melissa (6/5): It was okay, and it was cheap so can’t expect a 5* resort. - Norman was so friendly, he made us feel at home. He helped us with our heavy bags and organised trips for us. The bed was comfy Bugs everywhere, in the bathroom mostly. No soap to clean hands. didn’t feel very clean whilst staying there, there’s a lot of rubbish too as our room had a view of all
the fly tipping.
- Ines (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent staff, Norman was fabulous and super helpful and made our stay fun, lovely pool and nice comfortable rooms Nothing
- Nilesh (8/5): Very good -
- Georgia (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (5/5): . - Architecture No kettle, bathroom and swimming pool was dirty.
- Maier (10/5): Love the staff!!! Super helpful and great people. We even went out for a dance! - Was nice and quit. Owner created a Little Oase close by everything The shower had salt water:(
- Mark (10/5): The breakfast was good!! - It was if the middle of the island, so perfect to go eat for lunch on side of the island and the other side for the sunset.
- Charlie (10/5): Exceptional - lovely property run by the nicest guy really helpful with anything u need will stay here again
- Anonymous (7/5): Good -
- Justin (10/5): Exceptional - Host was a really funny guy!
- Mihai (8/5): Enjoyable - It was quiet and cozy. The bathroom was not great.
- Denise (8/5): Very good - The staff was really helpful, and also friendly 1 out of our 4's Bathroom was not very clean
- Luciano (7/5): Good intentions but not a great experience. - Nice staff, okay value for money. Decent room. Really loud noise in the middle of the night, each of the three nights we stayed. It was a rat chewing on the wood inside the roof. Pretty clear because of running and sounds. We don’t usually complain but this sound was loud enough to keep us up a couple hours every night. We mentioned it and the manager didn’t do anything.
The other thing was there was a really strong odor in the bathroom, along with the shower not being clean.
The rest of the stay was fine but sadly this made it hard to give it a higher rate.
- Amy (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were absolutely amazing, location was 10min walk to main st and super quiet
Absolutely loved my stay, will definitely be going back
- Eleonora (1/5): DIRTY & SCANDALOUS - NOTHING!!!!
highly discouraged!!!!!!! change jobs SCANDALOUS IN EVERYTHING
bowngalow 1 was given to us with the keys without even giving us the acceptance of the data, no explanations or anything else!
old and moldy walls, bathroom with other people's stains on the mirror, dirty shower, a blanket directly on the bed without even a hygienic sheet, old and smelly towels, 1 each and that's it.
insects, mosquitoes, cockroaches and geckos entered the walls of the bathroom that entered through the window with the bathroom fan.
they never changed our towels or cleaned our room! on the second day, when we asked for cleaning, they told us that we had to ask for it!!! apart from that it is the only place in the world where cleaning is not done but I know on request, also no one had warned us of this thing and on the door we had also left the writing given by them with "please clean my room"
mosquitoes everywhere despite personally procured repellent
an all night pririto
we even had to buy toilet paper because they never came to service the room!
very uncomfortable position with dirt roads and puddles, holes, stones, garbage to get to any part of the island. I risk falling off my bike in the evening without even street lamps or lights.
rude staff and breakfast included without even water or juice!
also disappointing is the fact that they claim to be paid only with cash using the excuse that the electronic credit card machine doesn't work for them!
SCANDALOUS and bad place!!!!
- Faisal (8/5): Very good -
- Lena (10/5): The stay was one of the most beautiful we had - We were directly warmly received und have thereby directly felt comfortable.
The rooms are beautiful and clean! The staff is really great. We have felt very comfortable.
- Lee (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, central of Island easy to go sunset, sunrise, Tuttle site, surfing site.
Owner very kindly arranged. Not much... l
- Marcella (8/5): Very good - Very friendly owner and staff, quiet area, big room, breakfast was fine Could use an upgrade, especially the bathroom is old and wasn’t very clean. Also lot of blood stains on the floor because of mosquitos
- Consuelo (8/5): Very good - The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Everything very clean, AC in the room keep it in a perfect temperature. Is not too close from the center.
Too many mosquitoes in the room, we couldn’t sleep too well because of that.
- Patryk (8/5): Very good - Nice owner and safe atmosphere of the facility :) Breakfast was a little bit too simple (just an egg and tea) and the room wasn’t completely clean.
- Beredugo (10/5): Exceptional - Such sweet hosts that were always happy to provide recommendations and invite you to dine with the family. I told the host that I was going to do a cooking class and when I came back, we made authentic mi goreng together! Such a fun stay with great company! The bathroom does need a revamp and the lights could be brighter but other than that, the room was gorgeous!
- Tom (4/5): Mosquitoes left a bad taste - The staff were friendly and helpful. Our stay was absolutely wrecked by constant mosquitoes inside the bathroom. We spent so much time trying to find where they were coming in. We blocked the extraction fan and every other gap, but still there would be 15-20 mosquitoes when we arrived back after a day exploring.
This was in room 1, ask for a different room if offered it.
Also, the location is not convenient for going into town (10min walk min). I would recommend staying on the East Coast of the island at the northern end of the beach for turtle encounters.
- Anna (9/5): Lovely place close to the main area - Great location close to the main street and beach. The guys who run this place are really lovely and accomodating. You can rent bikes too to get around the island. The only breakfast option is omelette, however this was still really nice! There is a mosque closeby which played music all throughout the night. I was woken up a few times each night because of it, so bring some good earplugs. This may have been because we visited during Eid though.
- Daria (9/5): Superb - very nice people and very helpful. they helped me to make payment by transfer , I really appreciate that. Bungalows are very nice and cozy. there was the most amazing monkey and they treated her very well, of course at night they put her in a cage for sleep for her own safety. they have also bicycles)) cockroaches and geckos :(((
- Olivian (9/5): Superb -
- Alessandro (5/5): Resort - Very quite place at the night and good value for money I believe that they are still learning how to manage a hotel and they are quite amateur on it. For instance, I booked with breakfast and they never provided breakfast and the owner were sleeping, snoring loudly and this was 9 am, one hour and a half after the time that the breakfast should be served . No paper toilet provided and the mosquito net was useless
- Nela (7/5): Good - The hotel is in the middle of island. It's far to beach and to the center. The souranding of the hotel is awful. You have to go trough streets that are full of garbage and when it rains they are flooded with water and mud.
Hotel is nice. But in the picture it looks little bit different. In my opinion it is better to book another hotel which is cheaper and closer to the center.
The breakfast was fine. You can choose from banana pancake or toast with eggs and coffee/tea.
- Christian (10/5): Friendly staff, quiet location but still central - Jimmy and his dad were super excellent hosts, the accommodation was far enough away from the main part of gilli t that it was very quiet, but also just a 15 min walk to both sides of the island. More soap in the showers would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.
- Chloe (1/5): Worst place we stayed - The staff was friendly The hotel looks very different from the pictures! Its not well maintained at all and very dirty. You can not swim in the pool because the water has a green/yellow color, not clean. We skipped the breakfast the next day because it was not worth it and made in a unhygienic kitchen. The bathroom was the most dirty we’ve ever seen, they need to clean it properly. It’s very hard to get to the hotel as well because of the complicated mud road that leads to it and there’s not a lot of light at night. The worst of all they have a baby monkey in a very tiny little cage locked up all day next to the pool, covered with a towel over it so the monkey can not see and is crying all day because being locked up in such a small cage and been taken away from her mum so young of course is NOT OK this is animal abuse! You can hear the monkey making noise all day and night. Overall a very unpleasant experience.
