    Great island to visit. Has a lot of European backpackers. Hard to snorkel with so many boats. Only bicycles and horse drawn carriages for transport. No dogs

    Decent masjid in the heart of Gili T and worth having a quick look inside if it is open while doing the Gili Tours - other than that, nothing spectacular

    More like 3.5 stars. First, the price. Never book there physically, the price is notably higher, just book online. Also, there's no seat assigning, so make sure to be there early to grab a good one. We took the boat from Serangan to Gili Trawangan, and back. On the way to Gili T, the boat had to make a stop to Padang Bai, which is where, for me, they dropped to 3.5 stars. We circled around the port for 1 hour +, and I was also sick, making it an awful long wait. It was so garbage I said I'd rather use a different carrier for the way back and lose my ticket money. However, I'm not sure it's the company's fault, since other boats waited there too. The issue appears to be a single dock for fast boats in Padang Bai, where everyone has to await their turn, and mannn is that slow. Also, something annoying about the boat is the movies playing on TV. Sure, it's better than nothing, but they only showed two movies on repeat, Gulliver's Travels and the one with Mr. Bean on vacation. So we had to watch both twice on the way there, and once on the way back. Even worse, the speakers didn't really do anything despite making an awful lot of static and being annoying. Oh, and the TV quality got progressively worse, so we ended up seeing only static for the last hour. The way back was much better, no intermediate stops and overall a much better experience. Maybe I just got unlucky. Anyways, I don't necessarily recommend them over other carriers like Bluebird, but if you have no other choice or want to travel cheap I guess they're ok.
    Note: Make sure you're not nauseous, cause boy does it get trippy in there.

    Such a fun activity and reasonable price for the games. Staff are really nice to talk with. Definitely recommend it for a little activity to do in gili trawangan other than water sport.

    The experience was really good, also the food. They made us the best chefs! They were nice and helped us all the way. They listen to music and is singing along, really funny! So, you should definitely have this in your bucket list.

    For a start, a/c was on the wall but didn’t appear to be working. When the hatch was open the breeze was beautiful but it had to be shut due to waves and then it was stifling.
    Could see no sign of life jackets anywhere!,
    Shuttle bus paid for but when we got to the bus told it would take 5 hours to Kuta! Their solution was pay 1.2 million rupees for a taxi. We got that down to 500.000 but still think this was a scam. Should have been told when booking the bus trip would take 5 hrs. Not impressed.

    We have spent 2 nights here as the place offers accomodation as well behind the bar, in a beautiful, lovely garden inside, with a private pool which is crystal clear. The receptionist and the whole stuff is incredibly lovely and helpful. They helpes us our with everything (rent a bike, find laundry service for us, book ferry ticket). I can only highly recommend this place!
