I absolutely loved this place! I enjoyed living there, surrounded by beautiful nature. The house and furniture were amazing and unique. You’ll really understand how special it is once you experience it for yourself. The owners are very friendly and kind. Thanks to them, I grew to love Lombok!

Bujang Lapuk Hostel, hotel in Mataram

Situated in Sekotong, 700 metres from Elak Elak Beach, Bujang Lapuk Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a shared lounge.

The place is very quite and is located in a small village in front of a nice beach in the Sekotong area. Perfect to chill, very simple and there is nobody around. But is far away from supermarkets or restaurants and especially from the big harbours. If you are coming from Bangsal you have to drive 1h and 40 min. with the scooter to reach the hostel. At the other side the location is perfect to explore the secret Gili islands located in the south west of Lombok ( gili nanggu, sudak and kedis). The owner Ibo is very kind and halways there for help you. He is organising the tour to the secret Gilis which i did and was very intersting, i even spotted a sea turtle during the snorkeling in Gili Sudak.

De Chicktoria Hostel, hotel in Mataram

Boasting a garden, bar and views of mountain, De Chicktoria Hostel is situated in Pawenang, 4.9 km from Bangsal Harbour.

Homestay meets hostel! The place is run by family and friends, and they're all wonderfull! Truth be told the description is not entirely up to date, but the current reality is actually better! Rooms are per 2 person, and comfy! The common area exist out of 1 big table where everyone meets each other, and passes a lovely time. They offer great food and drinks as well, at reasonable prices. There are chickens (in coops) and a few lovely cats! They rent out scooters at fair prices! Thank you for the lovely stay! Great for unwinding.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in on my trip in South East Asia. The 2 girls at check in were super friendly. My room was big, very clean and comfortable. The hotel is so so clean and lots of nice seating areas on each floor. The gold fish pond is amazing. Lots of snacks available to buy. Free water to drink. The girl on check out was very friendly also. A very well run hotel and I'd stay here again, absolutely.😊

    The hotel from the outside looks quiet, an old hotel and not too prominent, but the facilities in the room are quite good, the hot water is on, and unexpectedly, I ordered room service food that tasted good and the price was cheap. Suitable as a budget hotel if you are traveling for work, and want to save more.

    One of the best hostels we stayed at during our travels, it’s got a great atmosphere in an otherwise quiet and ordinary area. Perfect location to extend your visa. The owner, Chris, is super friendly and always happy to provide advice and information. The hostel has power sockets near every table and a little bar with soft drinks and beer and other essentials.
