"The place is good and has an excellent location but they have many areas to improve, for example the cleanliness and attention to the guests since during our entire stay we did not see any of the staff clean the room, we had 4 power cuts that the hotel was not even aware of, we had to be calling the reception or looking for someone to fix it."

"We had a great stay here in Gili. Nearby restaurants and the harbour. The staff were very accommodating with all our requests and always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One thing to note is that there is a mosque nearby, so you can hear the call to prayer around 5am. However, this seems to be common across the island, not just this hotel. If you are a light sleeper, I would definitely recommend bringing earplugs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the kindness and hospitality...

"The ad is misleading because it is not located on the beach - it is a 5 minute walk inland. You have to type in 'Joevanna Cottage' (with 2 n's) into Google Maps to find the correct location. Also, there are small ants in the room. It was only for one night so it was ok. The plus is that there was hot water for the shower."

You have to rent a scooter, as nothing is in walking distance. There are also limited dining options in this area."
