Wonderful grounds with winding paths thru the lawns, centered around the pool as the gathering spot. The value was outstanding. And the entire staff was amazing, and very helpful and kind. I've been to 50+ countries, countless islands, and this is definitely one I will return to again and again. This time I will use my full 30-day visa here on Gili Air, specifically at Beranda.

The location of Luckys was absolutely perfect. We walked around the island many times and agreed it was the best location of all places to stay here. The rooms were of a good standard and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were really amazing, taking care to remember our names and help us with all we need including renting bikes. Couldn’t recommend more

The host Yuri(spelling?) was awesome. The man was so friendly, kind, peaceful and such a vibe. The place has all your basic amenities and is super close to the water. This was our favorite stay out of 4 places during our Bali/gili trip. P.S. Take a cold shower and put the fan close to the ground if it's too hot...

This hostel was great, the facilities are clean, bed was comfy, there was wifi, a pool,... The place is quite new so there are still a few things they are adjusting but it is actually really good! The owner then also helped me figuring out where I needed to be for my boat and helped another friend of mine out with booking taxi and boat trip for his return from Kuta. They really know their stuff and are happy to help and make sure you are ok! This is also a great place to rest before or after getting the boat!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location. an 800 walk from the ferry terminal on the Lombok-facing side of the island. Close to popular turtle snorkel spots. Beds were comfy. Nice place out the front with huts and comfy day beds to lie on and watch the sunrise or enjoy a day reading a book.

    For the low price it was just great for relaxing for 2 nights, especially if I compared to other accommodation I’ve stayed at for a similar price ( being a hostel) You are right on the beach, your own bathroom and hammock to relax and the breakfast was fantastic. Super friendly staff too. Simple accommodation but suits lower budget travellers perfectly

    Fantastic Bamboo Hut is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed at. Breakfast is amazing, many options such as pancakes with fresh fruit or omelette. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, who all play terrific guitar. Great location next to where the boat drops you off so very easy to drop your stuff off after arriving. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with a bathroom within the hut. I wish i could stay here forever, thank you for everything.

    one of the best hostel I stayed. Great Wi-Fi (was able to have video calls), breakfast was valuable. Coffee or tea was served every day. The room was clean, got my towel, comfy bed, a lot of activities to do - you can rent a bikecycle. Peaceful environment. 10 minutes from sunset point. 3 minutes from great and cheap warungs. Not at busy street so it’s quiet around - if they don’t pray.

    Pretty setting, love that it's not bunk beds despite being a dormitory/hostel. Staff are friendly, too. Bed is relatively comfortable to sleep on.
