Gili Sands Hotel & Bar Reviews

Perfect location, central to everything, beach on your doorstep! Had an issue with the first room but was moved rooms and everything sorted within 5 minutes such lovely staff x

the bed linen was very dirty and there were a lot of mosquitoes in the room

The hotel is located next to all the dive centers which made it perfect for our needs. The rooms could use an upgrade but the rest of the hotel is perfect! Staff are so helpful and friendly!

The hotel is on the first line, close to the most party places. Ideal for those who love parties. You will be able to fall asleep after one in the morning. Nice staff. The rooms are old. The bed linen is old. Everything looks bad. Not all rooms have hot water. The hotel is not worth the money. But there are many old and overpriced hotels on Gili.

Not bad and close to the port

We stayed at the Gili Sands Hotel and Bar for 3 nights. On arrival we worn shown to our adjoining villas with small private pool and outside area with seating and beds. The rooms were quite big with a large comfortable bed with clean bedding. A door leading outside to the toilet and shower at the back of the building. Clean towels were supplied. I then noticed that neither of our doors or the gate locked properly and there wasn’t a safe. Some work had been applied to the doors but only a temporary measure. We then noticed that some of the smaller rooms were having building work done and renovations being carried out. I’m guessing this will carry on through the hotel. Apart from the door locks not working we did have a pleasant stay in a good location close to everything but be aware the music at the weekends goes on until early hours.

Sheets were very dirty and full of holes. We didn’t have soap, hand towels, bathroom mat, trash can or safety box. Nobody cleaned out room during the stay. Our room, bed and towels smelled like cat pee and most likely contained that too. Also, if you wish to sleep before 3 am DO NOT COME HERE. The noise from the clubs is unbelievable. Ear plugs won’t help you and there is no escaping the noise. The breakfast is bad and expensive. 1/2 of our meals didn’t include what it was supposed to. We also rented bikes but one of them had no brakes and we doubt they did anything about it after either. This hotel is suitable for someone who doesn’t mind it being dirty, who wants to party and stay in a very central hotel for good money. We wouldn’t stay here again, ever.
