We stayed at Biba's for 8 nights, and it is for sure the best place. The bungalow and the garden is very good and quiet. The food is excellent (I had Pizza every evening) and the staff is by far the best and most attentive staff we have met in all of Indonesia. We will definately recommend this place to... More

Had dinner there three times and was never disappointed. Pizza is thin, noodles homemade. lasagne a bit too sweet for my personal taste (too much carrots?) but that's a question of taste ... Waiters have always been in a good mood. Worth a visit! Haven't booked a room there, so no comments on that.

The outdoor sand floor restaurant is one big kitty litter box - we watched two cats dig holes and do their business during happy hour - total turn off - also, the cushions on the outdoor furniture smelt of cat urine. Next time, I would stay up the road. Also, the bathroom was outdated - the toilet didn't flush and... More

This was my second stay at Biba Beach, and it was just as magical this time as the first. The owners, Claudio and Sabrina, are friendly and accommodating; the young staff is attentive, extremely competent, and just plain fun to be around. The food is some of the best on the island; especially the bruschetta and the insalatona. I loved... More

This resort isnt bad and has kind of nice and calm atmosfere. The Italian restaurant was very good and higly recomended. The downside was that the room we got was just to outdated and worn out. The bathroom was very simle with painted concrete and rusty faucets. The room were probably clean but didnt feel fresh. The beach strip were... More

The owners were delightful, the staff was attentive, friendly and personable, our bungalow was gigantic, the food was delicious and the cat community very entertaining. Thank you Biba Beach! There is good snorkeling right in front of the hotel so you don' t have to go anywhere. The hotel doesn't take children under 12 so you don't have to worry... More

After reading excellent reviews, we sought this place out once we arrived to Gili Air. Visually it is very pretty and clean. We decided to stay. My husband and I took a room with out air conditioning and our friend took a deluxe room. The deluxe room is really nice. Our room was nice too. However, ever spending a few... More

We were looking forward to a great stay with italian hospitality here in Biba, but were quite disappointed. When we arrived there was only one regular room available with no AC, we were tired and took it. There was only a fan in the room. The staff was young and had little experience, but were even a little too keen... More

We stayed at Biba for 5 nights and enjoyed every one of them. The owners are there if you need them but never intrusive. The staff here are second to none; they always have a smile and are more than willing to provide anything for you. The location is great and the seating areas provide a beautiful location for having... More
