Incredible spot! My favorite bathroom that I’ve ever occupied, ha ha. Definitely spring for the bigger room poolside , you won’t regret it. Incredible service from everybody on staff, it felt like home.

The villa was great with a decent size pool and comfortable bed.
Loved the outdoor shower. Enjoyed the breakfasts. So close to everything but also quiet. Dinner had live music. Did get some noise from the Wednesday night at the Irish bar but ear plugs were provided and it didn’t worry us.

Probably the best spot to stay on the island, pool overlooking beach and promenade, it’s really hot on the island so we were grateful not to have a big resort to walk around, AC works well for sized rooms, best guitarist playing live music on the pool, in the center of everything.
The staff sometimes like to have high context conversations and little attitude not sure what that’s about. Others are super friendly and professional.

Its just on the same street of shopping area and restaurants. Good location and all the staffs are friendly. Readily to help you on anything.
Bad experience is that the villa we stayed has cockroaches. The electricity keeps on tripping leaving us in the dark.
The food has limited choises but the quality is not bad.
The facilities a bit rundown as there are many amenities were rusty.
The beach in front of the hotel is not save to swim as there are many boats anchoring.
Overall not bad to stay.

Awesome place to stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded and the rooms provided were freshly renovated. The outdoor bathrooms were divine. The bed was comfortable. The grounds and pools were well maintained. The cooked to order breakfast was yummy but the rest of the food was pretty standard and bland. The hotel has an extensive cocktail menu but unfortunately some of the staff did not have the knowledge to mix them up. Beautiful views from the front of the hotel. This place will be amazing when they finish the villas.I will definitely be going back

Breakfast included with several options, although it took them more than usual to have it ready, every time. Nice restaurant in front of the beach.

Extremely dissapointing

This hotel was pretty disappointing overall. We arrived to be told that they had \"upgraded\" our room, and we should be VERY happy. Upon being shown to the upgrade, we realised it was infact a glorified cleaning cupboard and asked to see our originally booked room - the original room was a treehouse bungalow which was a LOT nicer than the other \"room\". It was still not particularly clean and had a strong odour of paint, however did the job. Hotel is overall quite overpriced for what you get. Staff enjoy occupying all of the seats around the pool and smoking while watching you swim - not really a nice atmosphere. The pool however was nice and clean, and the hotel location good. Close to bars and restaurants. Breakfast was pretty terrible with an extremely limited selection on particular days - and the most stale bread I have ever seen. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, you are better off at staying somewhere priced cheaper and expect less as it seems reasonably balanced price/quality accommodation on Gili T is difficult to find.

Good location

The Beach House is in a great location, close enough to the action but not too close so you can get some sleep. The room was very basic, but we did only book a 'Standard Room'. No fridge which was a bit of a pain as you couldn't keep any drinks cold. The bathroom was pretty gross, lots of mould and a few cockroaches. The aircon was very very noisy, we asked management to have a look at it which they did, but this only fixed it for a few hours.
There are lots of mosquitos, the room does come with insect repellent, fly spray and a plug in mosquito guard which is very handy. This is just the nature of the island, you'd get this problem where ever you stay so be prepared. We didn't get any bites however which is good.
The breakfast was nice, good selection of hot and cold items and beautiful view over the water. The restaurant setting was definitely a highlight. However we did get the Bali Belly from here, was the only place we ate at once we arrived and got it pretty quickly. These things happen.
The Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We got upgraded to a private villa was a wonderful stay, staff were very helpful and pleasant. Would easily return here if I stayed on gili T again.
Breakfast was incredible and over looking beautiful water. Yasa who works at the restaurant is super lovely and friendly! Overall great trip.

Disappointing

Studio room is literally a converted cupboard with a very outdoor bathroom which was very dirty and sandy. The room was also quite damp with paint peeling. We moved rooms but had to pay substantially more. The studio was expensive to begin with and definitely not worth the money.

Not what it seems

I booked for a two days stay at the beach resort. The hotel rooms were not at all like what were shown on the site. The room had a cemented bed, creaky doors with unreliable knobs and the bathroom had an open roof! Apart from privacy issues, it was open to all sorts of insects and reptiles. Moreover if u want to use the bathroom and it's raining, better take an umbrella to the bathroom. Hotel staff was also most of the times uninterested.

Rustic suite

Rustic stay, in a nice setting, maintenance of the property is poor, very lived in feel, staff are friendly and quick to tend and fix any issues. Breakfast buffet, typical low budget style, lots of flies, which made eating uncomfortable, overall (ok if premium backpacker option,otherwise less than a 3 star)

Treehouse Stay

We stayed one night in the treehouse room. Very nice room for the price and included bug spray, bug net around the bed and a fan. There are small holes in the floor board where small bugs like mosquitos can come through so be prepared for bug spray. Washroom was nice. Room doesn't have AC, a fan is provided however.

Convenient Location ideal for group of friend

Where you want to be on the island.
Step out and immediately u get the vibe that is Gili T yet not too Noisy. Not a big resort But ideal for solo travllers and group of friends. If your intention is to hide in a resort this is not for u. If u want to experience gili T and this is good. Some teethy issues but once mentioned to the staff, their engineers were immediately dispute to ix the low pressure in shower and weak airconitioning. Airconitioning is a common issue on he islands. The katger the room the less adequate the airconitioning is.

Quiet rooms and nice surroundings, but not 4 stars

Prices in Gili are more expensive than in Bali. Hotel was fine... but not as I was expecting from a 4 star hotel. Also, having the bathroom outdoor (as some hotels in Gili have) is really not convenient due to heat.

On the good side, people was nice and friendly, room was inside the hotel, far from noisy street, and area and surroundings are really nice and relaxing.
