Inlight Lombok Eco Resort
4.4/58 Reviews
By now you’ve probably looked at reviews and all the stunning online photos—as we did. And you’re probably imagining a lush, beautiful, active lifestyle boutique resort with healthy Ayurvedic food, surf beaches lapping the shore and a yoga studio. This image couldn’t be more wrong. Picture instead a bus stop from the 1960’s on the side of a disused road. This is the feel of the entry restaurant that sits atop a largely arid hillside with none of the lovely plants pictured on the site. There were a couple of palm trees over dying grass, concrete and sand. The photos are so far from the reality that we thought the place was abandoned long ago—and perhaps taken over by squatters who thought they could make a fast buck. We were honestly frightened by what might happen next. While it does indeed seem to be a hotel, the photos and descriptions are so far from reality that we walked around in a stupor trying to sort out the cognitive dissonance. Could it be that the resort that constantly touts itself as a yoga surf resort might have neither yoga nor surf? Not even a real beach? No….couldn’t be. Right? The owner kept asking us what we expected to find and the truth was that the photos were so far from reality that it was hard to even know where to begin. We said we expected a private beach-so he pointed to a fabricated sandy area roughly the side of two kids sandboxes with a metal fence around it. We expected five surf beaches—instead there isn’t any sandy beach at all and the surf spots are accessed by boat for a few. We expected yoga—he assured us there is yoga (though it’s hard to see where he could be hiding it) and other reviewers say the yoga consists of a mat and a spot to practice on your own. We expected plants and trees and a hang out area by the pool. Instead the large pool was empty and the little ones were so full of algae that I wondered whether the “EcoResort” was gathering carbon credits off the green pool growth. It’s a very good thing that we didn’t pay in advance, since we were able to pay only a day’s rate and leave quickly. But the place is so remote that we literally lost five hours of vacation getting there, touring it and getting back to where we started. Not to mention enough money that we could have stayed at a luxury hotel on the island for the amount we tossed away in a rush to leave. The owner was kind enough to offer us tea and let us use his wifi to find another hotel—a kindness we very much appreciated—but our anger grew when we finally settled at a lovely hotel and compared our photos with the ones online. What an utter misrepresentation. We’re uploading the photos here—the one with sand under the shadow of a palm tree and a metal fence—THAT is the beach. We both nearly died laughing when he pointed it out, but the owner was clearly upset and we were just trying to get out without a massive conflict. Zoom in on the pool with water in it (as opposed to the one they were filling with a garden hose) and you might get a sens
Novotel Lombok Resort & Villas
4.4/575 Reviews
Pros: friendly staff, quiet resort. Cons: old and run down. Kids club was a joke. Duplo pieces were dirty and dusty. Basically it was set up by the pool as they are redoing their old space so the only toys they had were dirty and broken. Nothing was really organized. Son was excited for water gun games and the water guns were all broken. Scavenger hunt entailed handing beige Easter eggs within the small surrounding by the pool. Very disappointed. Food was overpriced and bad. Drinks also overpriced. We learned this when we hired a car to a nice resort and beach 20 minutes away and discovered the food was delicious, price was 1/3 of this one and the sand and beach there was much better. It’s an old run down hotel. We say it’s quiet but really there wasn’t many people there. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Pullman Lombok Merujani Mandalika Beach Resort

This hotel is the best in Lombok. If you are looking for a nice place to stay by the beach, pls just book this hotel. I was served by Eric and he even remembered my name! I was there on Christmas day and there are so many guests. His act definitely made me remember this place positively. Will recommend to friends.

Origin Lombok
4.3/531 Reviews
This hotel is beautiful.!! The rooms could be cleaned better but we had a great stay. The pool is nice and the rooms are spacious and private. We would return. The hotel isn’t in Kuta so be prepared to hire a motorbike if you want to leave for the day. There is also a kettle in the room and free water. As someone who is Gluten free there was food available but the staff couldn’t understand the concept.
Batatu Villas
4.6/523 Reviews
This bad review, is because of how the front desk clerks changes the way they want to regard on the offer, i know that price of a hotel can change and depends on the pick time and all, but this time is really out of the ordinary, why i say this, its because they raise their price just because i called the second time in just few hours gap, crazy part is because i want to make a booking, and not just for a night or 2 but for 3 night, they knew that so he raised the price and when i asked them i would like to talk to the manager because i find it fishy, but he responded by saying he will delivery my concern,he also insist on me closing the phone and that he will call back, but when i said ill wait i dont mind waiting, but he didnt want me to like he didnt want me to listen to his conversations with manager, and also he said that he need this line to call the manager but i can hear him already talking to one other guy i dont know if its the manager or not but the guys sound like a manager, and when i insist on hold ing and waiting by the phone then he come back and tell me that he had talk to the manager but what he had said to the manager is different then what is happening, he basically said that ” i had fine a cheaper price then what the front desk clerks are offering me” which i have not said that and i didnt want to even said anything regard to that what i wan to say and ask, is that why they change the price and make it more expensive just in few hours after my first call? The thing is the guy who ans my first call is the same guy who ans my scnd call. The reason that force me to make this review is that this guy really refuse me to talk to the manager, and that hit me is that he said and i quote ” bapak dengerin saya ya”( his telling me to listen to him) why should i listen to him, he want me to listen to what he have to tell me,
