Déçue
Pros:

Le personnel est vraiment adorable, très disponible, ils nous ont permis de rester 1h de plus dans nos chambres. Nous avons été accueilli avec un petit cocktail

L'emplacement est à l'opposé du port mais cela ne nous a pas déranger car proche des jolies plages

Cons:

Lorsque j'ai réservé je me suis fiée à la note booking, je ne comprends pas car c'était vraiment très sale ( lavabo sale non nettoyé saletés accumulées depuis des mois) De plus nous sommes restés deux nuits et aucun nettoyage n'a été fait dans les chambres contrairement à tous les hôtels faits durant notre road trip, en bord de plage même si on se déchausse il y a toujours beaucoup de sable et ce n'est vraiment pas agréable. Le linge de maison était tâché, linge de toilette, taie d'oreiller.
Je ne pourrais parler du restaurant car vu l'état des chambres je n'ai pas souhaité manger dans cet établissement
Les chambres n'ont aucune isolation, nous avons été réveillés chaque matin par la 3ème famille qui parlait normalement mais nous avions l'impression qu'ils étaient dans la chambre.
C'est vraiment dommage car le personnel est adorable et ça pourrait être très sympa mais la saleté m'a vraiment dérangé je suis vraiment déçue de mon séjour

Leuke huisjes aan het strand met erg vriendelijk personeel
Pros:

Mooie huisjes op een prachtige plek aan het strand. Wij werden bij aankomst verwelkomt met een drankje en één van de personeelsleden heeft ons gelijk alle highlights van Gili Air laten zien. Eén avond hebben wij hier aan het strand gegeten met Live muziek, was erg sfeervol en lekker! Al met al zeer leuk verblijf gehad!

Cons:

niks

Pros:

Personnel agréable et volontaire pour organiser des sorties sur mesure en snorkelling, aux îles voisines, transport calèche. Musique livre régulièrement. Couchers de soleil. Beaucoup de choix de restauration, d'activités et de bars à proximité.

Cons:

La chambre n'était pas faite tous les jours, ce qui, avec la proximité des plages et donc du sable, aurait pu mériter un coup rapide.

Clean and good price
Pros:

Nice and clean room with comfortable bed
Helpful staff

Cons:

There is a weird smell in the bathroom, coming from outside probably.
There is no window at the bathroom and the mosquito net is broken, we had quite a few mosquitos.
Also, the surroundings around the property are not so clean, so we were walking to a different area of the island to spend our time.

Highly recommend!
Pros:

The staff are AMAZING! So friendly and welcoming, they make it feel like home 😊 the room is really nice and spacious, everything is clean and they even give you a beach towel for your stay.
The location is great o the north side with a great beach bar and restaurant to watch sun set. I would highly recommend staying here.

Cons:

The wifi cut out a bit if you are working but everything else is great.

Beautiful, relaxing, musical stay right on the beach
Pros:

Formosa Beach Bunglow is located right on the beach. Every morning you step outside your bunglow, walk in the sand and eat a delicious breakfast right on the oceans edge- what a perfect way to start the day!

The staff were very kind and always there and willing to help with anything we needed. They made us feel like this was our home for the five days we stayed (actually six because we ended up extending a night!).

They are all very talented musicians and a lot of the time they were jamming together around the property, which created a very nice vibe to be around :)

They managed to fit in time to clean our room every day, even though we were hanging around the property a lot. Our time here was relaxing and we left feeling refreshed, sad to leave but excited to return again one day!

Cons:

Because we ended up staying a while, having a mini fridge and an electric kettle in the room would be a nice addition, especially for early risers like me who like to have coffee before the restaurant opens - but once again this was never much a problem because there was always someone up willing to pour a cup early if I needed it :)

Exceptional
Pros:

We like our stay here. We were welcomed with a nice drink and cool towel which made us fresh from a long trip. When we check in the room, we had a crash on the room with the wooden funiture, the aroma from a essential oil diffuser, a thermos with unlimited refilled cold or water, and especially the comfy bed, we slept through the nights.
All the staff is super friendly and attentive, they helped us to book a snorkeling trip with private boat. We had a memorable time here.

Cons:

The live music from next door until almost 11 pm is loud, but it didn't bother us. You might ask for earplugs from the staff if you go to bed early.

Passable
Pros:

Great location, good food/drinks, lovely staff but over priced. Took 3 days requesting to get shower drain blocked & toilet paper bin was not emptied for the 5 days I was there! Loud live music of varying abilities blares each night (either from next door or Formosa) until up to 11pm - unfortunately not why I went to Gilli Air. New management so hopefully will continue to improve with feedback.

Cons:

As above
