Everything about these bungalows is fantastic except that there is a beachside bar next door called Space Bar which plays impossibly loud psychedelic trance sometimes until 5 in the morning. We moved after 2 nights even though it is probably one of the best locations on the island. How can a place like Space Bar, which is destroying the serenity... More

This island is absolutely magical with one of the best sunsets i have seen anywhere in the world. Food is cheap, bunglows are decent and its 20ms from the beach. Food is authentic Indonesia with the local flavours. Loved the staff since they were very friendly and formed a bond from the first day i was there. Spend 4 nights... More

Inexpensive spot in paradise. Food is delicious. Service is nice. My room was facing the sea. The only problem being the fact that, standing in front of a coral reef, it's hard to go for a swim during low tide. Wonderful nonetheless.

This spot is pure paradise. Full stop. Look no more for beachfront cottages on the most beautiful beach on Gili Air. This place is magical. The family who runs it are genuine, kind and exude Indonesia hospitality. The food is cooked by a lovely lady who makes the best Gado-Gado and traditional Indonesia rice, egg, and chicken. The bathroom is... More

We stayed 3 nights in room B3. It was a comfortable bed with a fan and garden bathroom. The only minus is that there was no hot water. The cold water is not freezing though, so it's ok. It was excellent value and we also ate and drank there several times. Make sure you ask for the fried fish -... More

Matahari is situated on the North West coast of Gili Air. It is run by a local family who gave me a wonderfully friendly Indonesian welcome. There were a range of bungalows from budget to very comfortable and even a guest house if you really want to save the pennies. During July and August prices rise accross the island but... More
