Staff was more than accommodating. Had a few issues upon arrival with the accommodation type chosen (the cheapest rooms are quite a bit from the beach and run down, they are not as the reception area is). The hotel took care of the misunderstanding with the utmost customer service. The rooms in the bungalows and two story white building are beautiful. The pool is as pictured. Breakfast on the beachfront was lovely each morning. Walking distance to everywhere, but rent a bike, mask and snorkel! It’s more fun. (NOTE: there are no motorized vehicles, travel light to avoid hiring a donkey!) Pool deck has ample space for yoga too! There was no attendant at the pool, which I would have enjoyed. The WiFi was good and ac cooled the room.
Do not stay at the home stay. The room was gross not even a top sheet on the bed just a brown fuzzy blanket. The walls and curtains were stained there was a tiny window in a tiny room that felt like a prison cell. Only positive thing was a/c seemed to work. I went to the main property and upgraded to stay there which was much much better!!! I’d suggest the villa Karang main property NOT the home stay that’s affiliated.

Did not like it, but all other reviews are good so not sure. Stayed in a better homestay for half the price. But you can use the hotels facilities, such as the pool.

Value for money in a good location
Great value for money with breakfast included plus use of the main hotel’s amenities. If you are looking for a bargain in Gili Air then look no further.
It's central to where you get off the boat, so that was a plus. There are also a lot of restaurants along the strip. This homestay is a bit off the beaten track, but I liked that and it felt really private. The amenities from the bigger hotel are also included. We were welcomed with orange juice and a cold towel. It was pleasant. The room is small but includes everything you need, especially a/c. There are also drying racks available for when you swim and need a place to dry your suits. I would definitely recommend this place for the island!
Strong a/c, friendly staff, good wifi, screen over the open shower so no bugs get in. Would definitely stay here again.

Great budget option for Gili Air
Great budget option that allows you to enjoy hotel facilities and breakfast (minus plush room) at price of a homestay. Room is very small and basic but staff are attentive, room was as clean as it could be. Great budget option for a couple of nights on Gili Air.
One of the best places I would recommend you to stay as its clean and neat also the WiFi is amazing too. There was not even one single thing which gave me a bad feeling in choosing this hotel. I even made friends with the hotel staffs and I really believe this people are one of the best hostile hotel staffs I have come across in life

room was abit dusty and gloomy
but you get to use the neighbouring hotel's facility such as pool
location is near to harbour
I was happy with the my room but the people in other rooms were rather noisy.
Pathway needed more lighting.
Overall the breakfast and the amenities at the hotel next door were excellent .
Pool really nice.
This is the best of both worlds, vilkar is located about a 3 minuite walk from the main resort with comfortable rooms and daily housekeeping. The AC worked great as did the shower (no hot water but you don't need it in the heat). The breakfast buffet at the resort had lots of options and lots of food. You get to use all the facilities at the main resort for a fraction of the price. We loved our stay, it did not feel like we were in a budget hotel. Remember to check in at the main resort before you head to vilkar.

value for money
Basic room, but it had everything we needed as we were diving and not spending much time in the room. Use of the resort pool was great and the free breakfast was amazing. Check in is at the main resort and the home stay is a block away. great value for money.
We stayed in the homestay but we were allowed to use the resort facilities which was really good! The staff are lovely and very friendly we were greeted with orange juice and a facecloth which was nice
Breakfast was nice also

Pictures online look a little bit nicer but it was still comfortable. Wifi works great and there is no hot water. Cheap stay!
Stayed a couple nights here last minute and we were not expecting much as we have been staying in hostels in indo but we were pkeasently surprised to find we had our own ensue airconditioned room apon checking in, went for the included breakfast the next morning again maybe expecting toast and some fruit but was surprised again to find a full buffet inc wide variety of fruit, toast, eggs, tomatoes, noodles etc. and with the option to have fresh made omelets, pancakes on request, for $15 each a night Australian I highly recommend!

Budget property with AC & benefits of a Resort!
Great central location extended our stay here for 4 nights.
Room was very comfortable and you have the benefits of using there resort next door the pool & facilities & buffet breakfast was amazing!!
We had an issue with our AC that kept turning off after 5 minutes so was hot all night & staff didn't seem to know what I was saying to them (English was not great) shortage of towels perhaps? Always seemed difficult to get towels or an extra towel..
The wooden bench seats outside stained our clothes when we hung our swimwear out to dry they maybe need paining or something.
Great location, a 3 minute walk to one of the best beach locations.
It's a quite location, with many shops and restaurants within a few minutes.
The best part is that it's a sister hotel to a nice resort next door, and they allow you full access to the very nice pool.
The breakfast was a decent buffet with a good enough selection, including western and asia selections and omelets to order. The coffee was good too.
Overall, it's in a great location with pool access and nice staff.
The room was perfectly fine, apart from the fact the air con turned off every few mins. The room was sun facing, so especially cooked in the mornings, but the nights were stifling too. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was soul destroying, as most hotel buffets are. Tbh, I would never book ahead on Gilis again...Walk - up are soooo much nicer and MUCH cheaper. Lesson learned.
