Mauvaise expérience
Pros:

Peu de choses

Cons:

Pas de savon, pas de serviettes, pas d'electricite à partir de 2h du matin donc plus de climatisation et d'eau. A 9h nous allons voir le personnel avec plus de 35 degrés dans la chambre et ils nous indiquent qu'ils vont enfin appeler le technicien. Nous avons dû aller chercher nous mêmes nos serviettes. Nous ne recommandons absolument pas. L'hôtel n'est pas noté 4,5 étoiles pour rien. De plus l'hygiène n'est pas là avec de la saleté sur le sol et des draps tâchés et troués.

Absolute Frechheit
Pros:

Garnichts

Cons:

Habe 4 Nächte gebucht und das Hotel direkt nach dem Check in aufgrund der mangelnden Sauberkeit wieder verlassen. Die Unterkunft war total versifft und verschimmelt, roch wie ein uralter modriger Keller. Mein Geld habe ich nach einem Beschwerde Fall nicht wieder erhalten und mein Urlaub war erst einmal dahin. Für Booking scheint Schimmel wohl kein Problem zu sein.

Great Value and would stay again
Pros:

Comfortable little inn, pool on the smaller side but clean during my stay. Everything you really need in a stay in gili. They rent scooters, got beer, lifes good 😎😎. I got a superior room fyi on the lowest floor which are the best rooms if I’m not mistaken

Cons:

Nothing at all, maybe a bit of a walk to get to but totally fine distance on a bike.

Amazing
Pros:

My experience at Ilalang House was exceptional. The property combines comfort, local charm, and warm hospitality perfectly. Every detail — from the cleanliness of the room to the attentiveness of the staff — made my stay unforgettable. I truly appreciated the calm atmosphere and the convenience of arranging bike rentals and island activities directly through the team. Ilalang House is a hidden gem in Gili Trawangan — highly recommended

Good service from Front Office guy😊

Cons:

Nothing
