Girang Rinjani Bungalows

Review: Amazing views over the rice terraces and Rinjani. The hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly and they gave recommendations on a local waterfall and monkey forest. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the bathroom has a really powerful hot shower. Breakfast and coffee included and they have a decent dinner menu. Definitely stay here for one of the best views in Lombok!!!

Positive points: Lovely local family owned residence with all local experiences like a hike through tetebatu seeing the monkey forest, plantation, rice fields, a waterfall and a bamboo forest. Followed by a local cooking class with a five course meal.nI would recommend this experience any day!

Positive points: The view from the property is truly beautiful, I cannot speak for sunset as it was a stormy evening, however in the morning there was a nice clear view of Rinjani with the rice fields below.nThe bathroom was very large, and good water pressure from the shower!nAs a note: I visited Tetebatu on May 23 and most rice terraces had just been planted (so small green shrubs in water, it’s beautiful in its own special way ☺️). Going on a walk with someone who knows the area is recommended so as to be able to pass directly in the rice terraces and witness them from close. nnFood was good - and free coffee & tea anytime you would like.

Positive points: We had an amazing stay at Girang Rinjani Bungalows. The bungalows are beautifull, well-maintained and very comfortable. The view of Rinjani volcano and the rices terraces is simply breathtaking. Mr. Ank, the owner, and his family are very sweet and helpful, making you feel like part of their family. Mr. Ank speaks good English, which is not very common in Lombok. We took a lovely walk with him across the village, and he explained a lot about the local culture and nature. The food is excellent (Ank's wife gives cooking classes). Everything about this place is wonderful. I highly recommend this homestay.

Positive points: - The view is purely stunning.n- Rice fields and a waterfall in walking distance. More things to do if you can ride a scooter.n- The family is really welcoming, they read your mind and every detail is taken care of, however there are some language barriers.n- The kitchen is really great, we really liked her food.n- they give you more than what you pay for. Love it.n- the host can make you a day trip he is a great local guide.n- his son is a great calm driver. He has a small car with no AC, but since I hate overcooked taxis, it was the best for me.

Positive points: The staff were absolutely amazing! They were constantly offering us fruits, tea, and snacks for the duration of our stay and welcomed us into their family. Its truly an authentic experience worth doing as you are immersed in their culture and staying in the forest with beautiful views of the mountain. They offered free water and although you are not right in the town they offer food right on the property for cheap prices. We did both a rice paddies/monkey forest/waterfall tour and a private cooking class with the family and both were amazing experiences. Its not often you get to have private tours with the locals and get to learn so much about their culture. Each evening they had a fire where they would roast some corn or sweet potato for us. They really aim to please and make you have a great experience. The bamboo bungalow was beautiful and handmade. If you are thinking about booking.. do it now! You won’t regret it.

Positive points: All the reviews are true! This place is phenomenal.nn- Ang and his family made sure you are comfortable. At the first meet, he says he treats his guests as family and it's true.n- Day trips and tours available. Managed to visit Sembalun, Senaru and Tiu Kelep Waterfalln- Food available and cooked on-site. Delicious!n- Wifi was strong. Toilet had hot water that came out instantlyn- View of Mount Rinjani is breathtaking. At night there will be a bonfire where everyone gathers and catch upn- Fruits and tea/coffee often provided. Good for digestive system n- Arrange for pick up with Ang. That's the best way to ensure you don't get lost in finding the placen- Has a cute pet (puppy)nnWill definitely plan to come back!

Positive points: Beautiful view, very friendly family who also gave a great cooking class and waterfall, rice field, monkey tour! We spent two days there and had a very beautiful local experience. The food were really tasty- best in Indonesia so far. Really recommend going here:) We will be back!

Positive points: this was a fantastic home stay in Lombok. The family that runs this homestay are passionate about sharing the local culture with the guests. You will be taken care of from day one. The bungalow is situated in the hillside, and around you are all sorts of fruits and vegetables that are being planted. the meals that are cooked here are warming and nourishing. For example, on my last day, they chopped down a small banana tree to make me a curry. They will take you around to local waterfalls and other sites in the village. The morning that I left, they packed me a bag of fruits for my trip onwards. please come here if you have the chance!

Positive points: We had such a wonderful stay with Ang and his family at Girang Rinjani. We ate all of our meals with them (so delicious) and we were taken on walks to the monkey forest, natural pool, rice fields and farms in the area. We loved it so much that we ended up staying an extra night.
