Kidi's Lodge Gilitrawangan

Had a great stay here on Gili T! The room was clean, the air conditioning was excellent and the bed and pillows were really comfortable. We also use the little seating area outside our room and rack to hang wet clothes. The location is great, but what really makes this place special is the staff. They were genuinely friendly, welcoming and helpful. They helped us arrange push bikes and an electric scooter, which made getting around the island so easy. There’s also unlimited drinking water available and a couple of cute resident cats, one of whom even decided to spend the night in our room. The one thing worth mentioning is that the hotel is very close to the mosque so the adhan (call to prayer) is loud and clear, particularly before sunrise. This is something to keep in mind if you don't want an early morning wake up call.

The room was spacious, simple, comfortable, and clean. The beds had individual reading lights. The bed was super comfortable, and the AC worked well. The bathroom had a small section of open roof, which was beautiful, with plants and plenty of room. This meant that with the room door and bathroom door open, there was a cool cross breeze. Plants out the front and tinted(?) windows with curtains enabled sufficient privacy. There's a pic of my balcony and room doors. The lodge was right next door to the diving centre I was with, and very close to others. It was on a quiet street, back from and parallel to the main harbour street, so apart from the regular chant over the island's speaker, it was blissfully quiet. The beach pics are from the main harbour street. I didn't mind, and not sure if other places are similar, but the shower did not have hot water. I guess some people might not like this. But the water wasn't really cold, either, and was just perfect to cool off during the day and shower before bed. I wouldn't have run the hot tap anyway.

Cant wait to come back

The location was perfect—safe, walkable, and very close to the port. Everything was easy to access, from restaurants , shop , beach and turtle point. I also recommend renting their bike it’s a fun way to explore the island, and it makes getting around so much easier. I extended my days there and that I would have stayed longer if I didn't have to go back to my country. Definitely a great place to stay!

I absolutely loved staying here! I originally planned to stay for five days, but I ended up extending my stay three times and stayed for three weeks in total. Everything was perfect — booking was super easy, breakfast was included every morning, and I had no issues at all. I will 100% come back here the next time I return to Gili T. Highly recommend
