The place is amazing..the staff made our experience even better..they are so polite and helpfull..definatelly they deserve a payrise. The location is good..beautiful beaches ..very clean rooms, great service..the guys are unbelievable good and very professional.5* for them..5*'for the accomodation and facilities!

This is a lovely little hotel, only 6 rooms, and in the Centre of the island not on the beach. Has no bar or restaurant but does provide very tasty breakfast. All staff delightful, particularly Raphael the manager who couldn’t be more helpful and kind. Hotel does have a very quiet and peaceful vibe, no music round the pool or alcohol served - so if that’s not for you then maybe look elsewhere. (One point to owner if they read reviews - a kettle in the room would be more useful than a tv I think for most people.) All in all a lovely place, would stay again.

The stay was ok. The bungalows are not in front of the sea, as the most of the other hotels. This means that you have to go by walk to the see for everything, including food. The way to the sea is dark and totally dirty. The bungalow was nice but the door did not close perfectly and also the door of the bathroom was a bit damaged. The bathroom water is salty, that’s why you wash yourself with salty water and it does not look as the same. The breakfast was quite good. Regarding the services of the hotel, we booked a snorkeling tour and it was not so pleasant, the man stayed on the boat and nobody guided us for the snorkeling and it seems to be quite a loss of money (650k). Bikes should be for free. The island is very bad maintained.

Rafael is a wonderful host and manager. We were greeted personally by Rafael, offered an out of this world smoothie and welcomed into our bungalow well before check in time. Rafael speaks great English, is kind and welcoming and a good guy to talk to. He also went over the map of the island and gave us all the tips when visiting Gilis

To begin with, the welcome drinks were the best we have had out of all the hotels we stayed in Indonesia. The explanation of everything was very good and the attention was amazing too. This is a fine establishment, very clean, picturesque and great value for money. I am surprised about the 3 stars as it is more like 4 stars. The breakfast was yummy and coffee was very well presented. A lot of attention to detail and great service. It is also well located and within good distance of the whole island. We were even given a small gesture at the end! Thank you so much, we will definitely stay again if ever back in Gili Meno!

If you were thinking of booking Gili Meno Escape, do it! We absolutely loved it from the minute we arrived until we left. The staff were amazing, especially Rafael. He was so chatty, helpful, informative and l'm not entirely convinced he ever sleeps?! They were all amazing, so welcoming and attentive and couldn't have done more for us. The huts themselves are so well cared for, very spacious & give the real Gili island experience. You can hire bikes from the accommodation and they are really reasonably priced per day and a great way to get around the island. The escape is already located quite centrally to everything so it is possible to walk, just make sure to take a light for night time as it’s quite dark in the surrounding areas. Everything was spot on, the pool area was lovely, the villas themselves, of course the staff & the breakfast provided in the morning was delicious too. Highly recommend this stay on Gili Meno, you will not be disappointed!

À la place d’une île paradisiaque, une île poubelle : abandonnée par l’état indonésien, par ses habitants et par les touristes stupides qui n’ont les yeux que pour le snorkeling et les couchés de soleil sans se soucier d’un paysage dévasté derrière leur dos. Sinon, comment expliquer que personne n’en parle ?? On m’a décrit une île tranquille qu’on peut découvrir à vélo ou à pieds. Mais devant mes yeux le désarroi et tristesse : Batiments abandonnés et détruits par le tsunami de 2018, les habitats extrêmement pauvres, végétation qui ne repousse pas, pollutions, déchèterie à ciel ouvert. Le logement est situé au plein milieu de l’île. Tout est OK (juste plus petit que sur les photos) : propre, neuf et entretenu. L’eau salé sous la douche et dans la piscine (très très chaude), mosquée qui réveil et dès qu’on quitte les lieux , un paysage de desolation est devant nos yeux. Pour rentrer le soir d’un restaurant au bord de l’océan, un périple de 15 minutes dans le noir total et entouré de cette “nature” silencieuse, décimé et hostil. Tout simplement gloque et flippant. En plus, le staff 100% masculin du logement est omniprésent : 4 hommes pour 6 bungalow (dont 3 occupés durant notre séjour) ça fait bcp. 2 nanas, on s’est sentie très mal à l’aise sous leurs regards. On mieux de rester 6 nuits, on est partie le lendemain (le propriétaire n’a toujours pas répondu à ma demande d’un remboursement partiel). De toute façon ce logement est trop cher pour ce que c’est. D’ailleurs toute île est presque entièrement masculine. On a vu à peine quelques femmes. Il y a plus de poules 🐓 que des femmes sur cette île. Je ne conseille donc à personne d’y venir.

Hôtel situé plus ou moins au centre de l’île donc à proximité de tout, chambre tout confort avec un petite terrasse et une très jolie piscine. Les petits déjeuners sont délicieux et le personnel est accueillant, sympathique et souriant ! Location de vélo possible ! Le Top !
