The hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, evening entertainment and free WiFi throughout the property.

This hostel is a great hostel to socialize and meet people while calm enough to do your own thing if you don't think like that. It's chill during the day with music and tour options, and there's something going on every night but everyone leaves to the club at 10pm so you can sleep early if you want. The social events are awesome and everyone goes to the bar together afterwards, I had a blast and met lovely people. The staff is truly the best part of this hostel! Ilan the manager is super fun and gave plenty of good tips on where to go on the island, the volunteers do their job well and make sure to make everyone feels welcome and the reception/bar staff is soooo nice, special mention to Iwan who was so nice and smiling all the time, and gave us great tips on the island and places to eat. Him and his colleagues remembered our name from the moment we checked in and it was so nice to feel like they know who you are. The dinner is basic but good to have as it also allows you to socialize during it. The drinks are cheap and they have a shot o'clock every hour in the evening where it's only 25K per shot. The room in itself was small but good enough since you're only sleeping there, the bed was big and comfortable and the AC worked great. The crowd is more on the younger side though so don't expect to meet many 30-ish yo people like us 😉 Thanks Iwan, Ilan and staff, we had a blast and hope to come back some day ❤️ Camille & Nick

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.

    I didn't stay anywhere else on gili t but this is still the best hostel on the island. It has a good and social vibe. It's clean, warm showers, nice breakfast and cheap drinks.

    I would give him 11/10 if I could. The location is very close to the harbor so you don't have to use the horse carriage! You get what you have for the price. It is so cheap but very clean and I felt very safe. It is not far from the main street but still very quiet. They can get you good discounts for activities, they know everyone! He was so kind and always smiling and helping me with all my questions. Definitely recommend if you are on a low budget!

    Just fking everything! If not the best, this is one of the best hostel in Gilli T! They don't have bunk beds, but a really good single bed with an amazing mattress. The location is 10 min walk from the beach and the main market. They organise a lot of activities for their guests like Snorkelling, Sunset ocean Dives, Hostel games like Spoons, Kings, Quizes etc. I did all of them and it was too fun :) They also have a inhouse bar which has happy hours from 7-9 PM so, you can pre-booze for cheap and head out to the main bars to dance :)

    10000000/10! We loved EVERYTHING at Jati. Livia and Yan were the absolute best people who made us feel very at home. Games and family dinners were offered every evening for guests to enjoy. The hostel is in a great location, has gorgeous pool area and anything you could need is available upon request (bike/snorkel rentals/ laundry/ snorkelling trips). very sociable hostel great for making friends. you are simply missing out if you do not stay here! THE BEST HOSTEL WE HAVE EVER STAYED AT. !!!
