Begadang

Solemos quedarnos en Begadang cada año que vamos a Gili Air y la verdad que es un sitio que cumple con la relación calidad-precio y destacar que tienen muy buena cocina por si no te apetece salir, comerás muy bien y variado.

il posto peggiore in cui sono stato in Indonesia. fili estremamente sporchi, penzolanti e pieni di ragnatele. per finire, la stanza era nel mezzo di un cantiere come mostrano le foto. il maleducato proprietario. mai avuto una brutta esperienza. assolutamente DA EVITARE

Read this before you book - they play music till midnight everyday!! If you’re in a bungalow, say goodbye to early night sleep after exploring nature. Passive aggressive rude owner (local staff in the kitchen and reception are super lovely though). If you’re coming to Gili Air to chill and explore nature beauty, or if you’re a family, this is probably not the place for you. This is definitely a hostel backpacker vibe like Gili T. Owner was super rude when I asked them to turn the music quieter at 9:50pm. It wasn’t slow evening music, it was loud clubbing music! I got called selfish and “the world doesn’t spin around me”, what kind of customer service attitude is this? I don’t usually leave bad reviews online as I always speak to the management directly if there’s any issues or rook for improvement. But owner doesn’t appreciate feedback in this case. Decent location, nice pool and kitchen, terrible shower pressure it was just dripping, zero soundproof in the bungalow. I checked out 2 nights earlier and found a way more peaceful accommodation on the island for the same price instead.

I can’t fault the staff, they’ve all been wonderful! But what I can’t stress is the noise levels in the huts. I’m aware it’s a hostel/ lively accommodation and that is great, but the banging, the construction, the 5am prep, the chatting, the constant cat screams, it does get a lot so definitely bring ear plugs! We got told quiet time starts at midnight but for how long this lasts I’m not sure as we had a 6am wake up call of construction and banging on /or just outside of our hut which isn’t what you expect!! The showers are not efficient in the huts either, we had to go to our friends for a shower (it is a bamboo shoot that simply dribbles water out), it does the trick but adds a good 20 minutes on to your normal shower time!! Apart from that, the food is delicious, the staff are so kind and constantly helpful, and the location it great!

The staff were really great and friendly, the food was delicious and really good prices. The chill out area is super nice - lots of comfy shady spots but equally good sun loungers. The pool is really cool and was great that the bar closes at midnight. Thank you!

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.
