Best Five Star Hotels in Lombok

- Our expectations were exceeded from start to end… like at the other Tugu locations we went to (hotels Malang and Blitar, restaurants in Jakarta, eg Kunstkring) - Super friendly, professional staff who have an eye for every detail - Amazing ambiance, architecture and surroundings; we really have never seen anything like this before - You feel the Tugu concept in everything. The hotel was set up with a true vision and the concept is consistently applied in everything (we keep on loving the handwritten welcome leafs, each time we get one!) - We can’t think of anything not tasteful. It’s all beautiful and spot on; antique (like) furniture, garden layout, villa design, swimming pools, bar & restaurant music…) - The team goes out of its way to make you feel comfortable and feel at home, eg the cleaning man decorating your room with towels turned into a monkey shape - And all of this at prices that are WAY below 5 star hotel prices in Europe and the US!

We stayed Jan29–Feb2 2024 and had the most wonderful time. The lodge is everything all the good reviews say but we were still surprised by the quality of the lovely grounds, beautiful room, meticulous attention given to every detail by the warm and extremely attentive manager and staff, and the added extras that are just included (because most places would nickel and dime for a lot of what LL just throws in to make you feel welcome and comfortable). The most obvious example is the food. A gorgeous breakfast and dinner is included in the nightly rate. The owners Bill and Anya (restaurant owners from Belgium, go figure), and Chef Jiwa and his team have created breakfast and dinner experiences that truly became the sun around which each of our vacation days orbited - that sounds hyperbolic, but it’s actually completely true in our case! We also had an unforgettable and delicious sate lunch during our beach day at Gili Meno, and along with the chef had a team of really fun staff there with us to fulfill our every wish and need :) We went for a hike one morning with a great hiking guide (taking us up a ridge with spectacular views - one we could not have explored on our own - and through a Buddhist village, and more - thank you Edy!) and I had an absolutely glorious massage the last afternoon. If we’d stayed one more day I would have asked for another. The weather was perfect - like most tropical forecasts, what looked sort of rainy initially turned into sun and scattered clouds :) In our short time there we were utterly spoiled in the best way, received a generosity of experiences far above and beyond our expectations, and have nothing but good things to say about the oasis that is Lombok Lodge. Go! You will not be disappointed!! (And definitely do the LL shuttle from the airport - get into that Lombok Lodge happy bubble the moment you step on island!)

New hotel, spectacular large villas with incredible views and private pools. Mattress, sofa and very comfortable amacas. Of sleep. Excellent service and delicious food, the area is very quiet but there is a taxi rank downstairs and in 5 minutes you are in the center of Sengigi. The massage at the Spa was excellent. The least pleasant thing has nothing to do with the hotel, but on the same hill there is a very active mosque with loudspeakers, not only is the music heard at prayer time from 4am (which is charming) but also the prayers are heard and sing for hours and hours. It's hard to rest and relax like that.

Innit Resort in Lombok, Indonesia, is a true haven. It offers privacy, tranquility, and pure relaxation. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had discovered our own private oasis, a place to unwind and recharge. The rooms are simple luxury with a cozy touch, striking the perfect balance. That sense of seclusion is what we were seeking. The only restaurant in the premise, Anak Kampung, offers a mix of Indonesian and Western cuisine, was spot on. Our breakfast during our stay was a daily delight. We could not forget the farm to table lobster that were served. It was absolutely delicious with a sweet and flavorful taste. Our stay at Innit Resort was more than just a getaway. It was a heartwarming and rejuvenating experience. We are already looking forward to our next visit to this hidden paradise.

I very much warn AGAINST booking at this hotel and want to share my experience with Selong Selo on here to spare others the nightmare we experienced: This hotel essentially took our money and made it impossible to get a refund or rebooking. We had booked a stay at Selong Selo for 2020 - unfortunately Indonesia stopped tourism entries due to Covid and we were stuck discussing back and forth with the hotel, about what to do with our reservation. The first thing we realized was that communication with this hotel is extremely slow and difficult, since very single time someone new responded in what I would deem pretty bad English. Since 2020 we have sent countless emails (many left unanswered) and two years later are yet to get a refund or rebooking for our prepaid reservation of 1.500€. In this time Selong Selo staff has given us the hardest time I have ever experienced with any hotel during Covid: They set absurd deadlines for rebookings (essentially asking us to travel when there were no flights to Indonesia), downgraded the villa category we booked and then took days off our booking in case we rebooked. To be honest we don’t really see how we will get our money back and all this feels like a scam through and through. My verdict is this: Should something go wrong, you are stuck with this hotel and will lose your money. There are plenty of professional hotels in Lombok, so steer clear of Selong Selo!

the stuff is very friendly and helpful, the towels and room are very clean and comfortable, enjoyable to sit on the balconly, what is not satisfied is the breakfast

The staff at Kayana were all very polite, courteous and helpful. Each and everyone never fail to greet you when they see you. Service was tip top. Pool has some dust/sand particles and insects sometimes but it’s near a beach so maybe that’s why. Location is near the harbour and has direct access to beach which can also be accessed by the public. Good if you are planning to travel to Gili Islands. However outside the villa there is nothing much, will have to drive to go to nearest restaurant and not easy to get taxi. We had a driver who brought us everywhere. The Blues Restaurant in the villa was sufficient for us - served good food, very affordable too and overlooks beautiful view especially at sunset. The inclusive breakfast was also worth it. Have to mention that the villa is very near a mosque and the calls to prayer starts as early as 5am. We did not mind it at all though. Overall Kayana made our stay in Lombok an amazing one!
