The 9 best Hostels hotel in Gili Air, Indonesia

May 20, 2023 Phylicia Berquist

The unspoiled natural beauty of Gili Air sets the perfect scene for a secluded island vacation. Chill out with a drink at a beachside bar or cafe, or hit the water for some superb reef diving and snorkeling. Labyrinthine walking paths snake all over the island, including a coastal path that will take you all the way around the island in about an hour and a half.

Begadang Accommodation

Begadang means "To Stay Up All Night Talking" in Indonesian. Come join us on the Sunset side of beautiful Gili Air for a swim in our unique mushroom pool and drink in our bar. We are just 1 minute walk to the beach where the sun sets. We care deeply about using natural building materials, so all our buildings are made only with wood, bamboo and stone.

Chill place, good food - hidden gem!

Reviewed By Nathalie9307

We initially chose Begadang as a hotel, because it was the cheapest option on the island on Airbnb. Turns out all the long term expats come here, because its just an amazing, chill and social place to hang out. The food is so good that I had troubles convincing myself to explore other restaurants on the island. I can honestly recommend Begadang as a hotel and a restaurant.

Beautiful place, great atmosphere

Reviewed By janas658

We’ve been staying at Gili Buana Hostel for two nights in a private room. Right now the whole island is rather quiet, but you can tell that this place is absolute magic once filled with people again :-) it is very clean, beds are comfortable, there is a pool and even a volleyball field, and plenty of space to relax or sit together with friends. Also plenty of space to put your stuff when using the shared bathrooms and working AC ? The owners are really nice and friendly people too, always taking the time to chat with us and good to ask for advice what to do/where to go/etc. totally recommend (and hopefully will be back one day)! (Gili Air is such a beautiful place in general btw, like paradise)

The best stay with the nicest family

Reviewed By SonyaB257

Booked for 2 nights, ended up staying 5! Fantastic rooms with great facilities; fridge/mini-bar, TV, safe, patio sitting area outside your room, comfy bed and lovely bathroom. The rooms were cleaned and made up every day. Breakfast was amazing; a choice of various dishes with a huge plate of fresh fruit, including the best mango you’ve ever tried! Location is perfect, just 5-10 minutes to either North or East coast beaches and in a quiet area where you can get a good night’s sleep. The pier is 10 minutes walk as well. The best part of our stay though was the incredible people of this guesthouse; Eka, Johnny, Mr Carup and little Jovan! They work so hard to make sure you have a great stay. When we arrived I was sick with ‘Bali belly’ and Eka made me lots of herbal drinks to try and help and everyone was checking in on me to see if I was ok. Thank you guys, we are very grateful!!Whatever you needed they would help, including renting bikes, booking any transfers or trips for you. They even helped us take our rucksacks to the harbour when we left on bicycles. We would highly recommend anyone to stay here and will miss everyone.

Great hostel in Gili Air

Reviewed By melissajohnston96

Great hostel overall for the price! My friend and I ended up staying here for two weeks at this hostel while scuba diving. Rooms were basic, but had what you need. Air conditioning was good. Rooms and bed sheets were cleaned daily. Huge storage cubbies with lockers under the beds. En suite washrooms were great. Will say that the wifi was horrible, ended up using data the whole time. And the outlets in the rooms didn’t work most of the time. But, these seem to be common issues with other hostels on the island because the power goes out somewhat often. The staff were really kind! Shout out to Dia who makes great breakfast (pancakes and omelettes) every morning. Nice garden with hammocks. Very good location (close to ferry dock and lots of restaurants and dives shops). Thank you!

Wouldnt return

Reviewed By DanP607

Taken me awhile to write this review. We checked in expecting a no frills stay, which was as expected: basic bungalow, just a bed and mosquito net and fan. Shared bathroom. Ok facilitys. Unfortunately our bungalow was pretty dirty and dusty, needed a good wash out! A few hours after checking in my partner became very poorly. Not good for a shared bathroom experience and definitely not good for other travellers. We discussed with the staff and got an immediate, no refund, we charge you all 3 nights. Despite the risk of passing the problem to other travellers and against the policy of the website i booked through. We made the decision to book elsewhere as not fair on us or other guests. I eventually got a refund for the other 2 nights but only after extensive polite statement of the facts of the policy of the booking we had made. I never asked for a refund of the first night (despite beinf there for a total of 4 hours and leaving due to an unprecedented issue and frankly doing them and their other guests a favour) but still had to fight to make them honour their policy. Ultimately my impression of this place was they didnt care about their guests and would happily have let someone be very ill in their toilets and risk spreading infection around. 3 hours after staff had been alerted I had not see anyone go near cleaning the shared toilets... Avoid I cant place a review where i book this as the manager made me cancel my booking in order to refund me 2 nights thus why this is here.

Captain Coconuts Gili Air

I would stay here again!

Reviewed By CathrineO45

For me it was located perfectly on the island. With a bike you are close to everything. Close to the sunset beach and the most beautiful part of the island, the north side. The rooms were clean and very cozy, equipped with both fan and AC. Each room is a small separate bungalow placed around the pool. The reception is both restaurant and bar. The breakfast included is above average I would say. Very friendly staff and they do their utmost to fulfill your wishes. Very nice outdoor movie nights with free pop corn. I love this place! It’s cosy, calm and relaxing. It’s paradise.

We’re so lucky to have such an amazing and authentic Italian restaurant here on Gili Air! The food is fresh and homemade to order. I’ve eaten here 4 times already and can testify it’s authentic and delicious, and consistent. As for service, the friendliest owners and staff on the island! I highly recommend it!
