I stayed for 5 nights , the first couple nights I stayed in the deluxe room and the last 3 in a standard double. I had planned on hotel hopping around the island but Gili Buana was so relaxed I was happy to stay put. As A solo traveler I felt very welcome. Aisje the manager was an amazing hostess, she invited me for sunset and dinner a couple nights which was lovely. I highly recommend this hostel. ##### SUSAN Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 29 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good and comfortable Very comfortable room and good air con, hot shower. Breakfwast was fine. Location only 5 minute walk from beach to watch the sunset, maybe 15 minutes to the busier part of the island near the port. Not a bad price, but we found a beach front property with pool for cheaper near by and moved there for a night, so perhaps could be slightly better value. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chloe 27 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great bed Great private room , comfy bed and pool Breakfast included and was yummy ##### Chloe Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bel hôtel mais trop loin des restaurants et activités ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 5 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALEKSANDR 11 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### ALEKSANDR Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Damien 30 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Damien Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Santiago 26 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Santiago Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Santiago 20 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Santiago Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gili Meno Escape -
