Beautiful spot very Zen little complex! The rooms are super comfortable, and the grounds are beautiful! Nice pool too! The hotel is tucked away in a little neighbourhood close to a mosk! The breakfast is à la carte and is absolutely delicious! The staff are very friendly and kind and very helpful!! I would definitely stay here again!

5-Star Review for Mama Bella’s Retreat

Everything about our stay was simply wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful, and the family who manages the property struck the perfect balance—always available if you needed anything, yet never intrusive.

The grounds and pool are spotless and beautifully maintained, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Breakfast is made to order with plenty of variety, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and immaculately clean. It truly feels like a little oasis.

Don’t hesitate—stay here! With plenty of good restaurants nearby and Senggigi Beach just a short walk away (perfect for catching those stunning sunsets), Mama Bella’s Retreat is the ideal place to relax and enjoy.

Everything at the hotel was excellent, it’s a wonderful place to stay and a great base in Lombok. However, Sengiggi has really suffered from a fall in tourism due to natural disasters and a lack of investment as it fell out of fashion. There are a few good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel and some useful shops.

Stayed for a week. Lovely property, well maintained. Staff are all welcoming, cheerful and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. There are lots of restaurants in walking distance and takeaways/deliveries - all great.

Minor suggestion - net curtains across the outside doors would let light in and give privacy.

I really loved stay here, everyone is really friendly and helpful. Its very quiet at times which is great when you want to relax. The only time it is not quiet is during the call to prayer from the mosque down the road but you get used to the sound.

It is like a small, beautiful oasis amid the still very evident earthquake devastation...we were very happy that we chose Mama Bella’s Retreat. Only downsides are the extremely loud broadcasts from the mosque in the near vicinity, often joined by others close by.

The personal service from staff was the stand out feature, location, and lovely pool grounds also rated very highly. Staff arranged scooters for us (at a steal $5per day), but even without scooters this is totally walking distance from the Main Street. I loved the chanting from the mosque throughout the day (bring ear plugs if you’re not keen on the early morning chants).

Second Visit to our favourite place in Lombok

Second visit here, we promised ourselves and it’s a piece of paradise. Amazing gardens and pool, lovely individual bungalow with own seating area and all overlook pool. Staff are so friendly and genuine, guests too. Despite the visible damage from the earthquake the lack of tourists has taken its toll on the restaurants and many hotels but everyone is positively trying to bring the tourists back to this wonderful place and whilst there is a little less choice around with local business’s it’s all happily happening here in Senggigi and at Mama Bella’s. Definitely would come back for third time.

Oasis in Senggigi

Mama Bella's was an absolutely amazing oasis in an unfamiliar land. A family-run business, the staff have a keen eye for detail and are customer-focused. The property has great amenities, including a pool accessible at all hours, sun chairs, bean bag chairs, and two hammocks. All are free of charge.

The property is tucked away in Senggigi but easily accessible if one has Google Maps. The property is about a 10-minute walk from the main area in Senggigi. While breakfast is provided (very delicious by the way), you will need to head to main street for food. The immediate surroundings around the property is generally residential, but there are a few mosques around, which do have readings of the Koran happening over a loudspeaker well into the night. The rooms are good at being sound proofed, however, some sound does come through, so if you need peace and quiet, suggest to bring earplugs just in case.

The rooms are spacious and equipped with good wifi. The washroom inside the room has a sit toilet and hot water. Note not to turn the shower on a full pressure otherwise the hot water runs out in about 2 minutes.

Overall, a great place to stay in Senggigi. Very good value and would recommend to anyone.

Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff, comfortable and clean rooms. We initially planned to stay for a night but once we stepped into the surroundings which were so relaxing and beautifully designed we decided to extend our stay by another night. Breakfast was enjoyable and it was easy to order in food for dinner from almost all the restaurants/warungs in Senggigi. Location was perfect too, very central and walkable to the main street of Senggigi.

Quick but gorgeous

Okay. It is about a 1o minute walk out of town. This is not bad thing as town can be very loud in Senggigi. What is quirky is it is beautiful but located up a very local back street and you are going to have your sense tested. Stay. You won’t regret

Gorgeous retreat but noisy

Gorgeous boutique retreat just off the main road in Sengigi. Lovely staff and friendly service with great pool and lovely views to hills and coconut forests. Only issue was the regular prayers from the nearby mosque during Ramadan and the fact we weren't provided with pool towels. But this is a great place to stay if you're in Sengigi

Feels like a 2nd home

It was my first ever solo trip. The Reception named Lia remembered my name from the night i checked in and until i checked out. She made me feel safe, after knowing i was on my first solo trip.

My first impression of the hotel location was \"uh oh\" cos its deep within the local home area and it feels quite dark. However once you enter the premises, you feel safe seeing the cottages.

I love the breakfast selection, simple and no fuss. Staff are ever friendly in the morning and at night when you come back from tours.

I missed out on the free massage that was offer and my stay was short for the in-room massage. That i truly regretted. Of course, to lounge by the pool. That i regret not having the time to chill.

The room has water like 5 litres i think, for refill - which is an amazing thing for Lombok island. Most countries i travelled i had to buy bottles of water. So this was refreshing for me.

I will love to come back and stay again!

Lovely Hotel close to main road (senggigi)

We loved everything about the hotel. The staff especially was very friendly and helpful. The location is ace as it's close to the main road and also the beach. The beach is around 20 mins walk from the hotel, the main road around 7-8 mins. We wished we could have spent more time here. Maybe next time.

the pool was really nice and very clean in a lovely setting for relaxing and enjoying the suns rays.

the only issue we had was the proximity to the local mosque which gave everyone an extremely early wake up every morning with the call to prayer.!...obviously we appreciate this is something that cannot be changed by the resort however it would have been good to know this before we booked.

Quiet, clean and very comfortable

We arrived very early and from the start felt welcomed by mama Bella's staff. We were able to check in early, had no problems with staff looking in a timely fashion at the door when we were having some issues with it locking properly and the room was spotless. Breakfast was included and was basic but yummy, and the property was beautifully serene despite still being very close to the main drag. We will come back, and definitely recommend to other people.

Amazing cosy place

We chanced upon this place via online reviews and thought of giving it a try. I am glad we chose to spend our 2 nights in Lombok in this resort. The resort is a 5 min walk to the main road with pubs and travel agent shops and a 10min walk to Senggigi beach. There are total 10 rooms (or 8?) and there is a swimming pool in between. the resort is very cosy and the rooms big. We had an amazing time and the Aussie owners were very nice. No complaints whatsoever.go ahead & book.

Jewel of a place to stay.

We had a fantastic time at mama bella's. Located about 3 minutes walk from the main road in segiggi with its resteraunts and shops. Walking through the front door feels like walking into an oasis of tranquility and relaxation. Beautiful gardens and a great pool to chill around. The breakfast is also very good. Clean rooms with some great touches, unlimited drinking water, tea and coffee making facilities, soap dispenser in the shower etc. The standout for us was the friendly australian owners Fatima and Glen. Without being obtrusive they were a mine of information on restaurants and local sights. Always happy for a quick chat or to share a beer with at the bar before going out to dinner. We should also mention their friendly and helpful staff. Overall a great place to stay.

A relaxing stay

We stayed here for two nights after travelling to Bali, Gili T and Gili Air. What a lovely place! It really is a relaxing retreat. The pool was great, quiet and peaceful (apart from the nearby mosque, but we have got used to that being in Indonesia!) and the bungalows were spacious and comfortable. Water pressure for the shower wasn't too good but not a major issue for us.

The breakfast was delicious - the poached eggs and banana pancakes were yummy. Choice of toast/eggs every morning as well as coffee/tea and fruit juice/fruit plate.

The only downside for us was the location. It's around a 10 minute walk to restaurants/bars and the walk is dark at night, which may be quite worrying if you aren't familiar with where you are going! I think you can rent a torch if you feel it necessary. However the locals seemed friendly, some saying hello as you walk.

We found it quite difficult to find in a taxi from the port so make sure your driver knows exactly where it is to begin with - maybe show them a map.

Overall, a nice stay. Would recommend if Senggigi is on your list.

Absolutely amazing place and such good value for money - we had 3 weeks in Indonesia and moved around every 2 or 3 days, and this was by far our favourite accommodation! Mama Bella's is a beautiful complex just off the main road - so you feel like you're completely away from the hustle and bustle but then you walk 2 minutes down the road and you've got everything on your doorstep. The complex has been beautifully finished - the rooms were lovely - so comfortable (especially the pillows!) and had TVs and air con, and the pool in the centre of the bungalows is such a great place to sit and relax. The owners were so so friendly and their staff couldn't do enough for you - we spent so many amazing evenings sat at the pool bar chatting with them and other guests over a beer. I can't recommend this place enough!

Charmant petit hôtel tenu par un couple mixte ( Indonésien et Néerlandaise) fort sympathiques et très serviables.
Peuvent organiser des excursions. Sont de très bons conseils.
Tout le personnel est très serviable.
Pas vraiment de choix pour le dîner mais on peut réserver les plats dans le restaurant voisin et les déguster ( très bons) à l’hôtel
Sinon l’accès aux restaurants du centre-ville et à la plage se fait à pieds en 10-15mn
On se sent vraiment comme à la maison
Je recommande
