Melati Cottage

Perfect location…beach is right there very easy walk to the port area. Staff was exceptional! Extended my stay twice it was so good it was hard to leave. Nothing…it was perfect.

Great location Cosy bungalow Super friendly staff -

The morning coffee

Easy to get to “downtown” of Gili T. Very cozy bungalow, delicious breakfast, friendly neighbourhood and friendly personal It has matched my preferences

Location is great, staff are super friendly and helpful. The bungalow itself is beautiful. Definitely a vibe to stay in. Peaceful and quiet. Just far enough out of town but just close enough too. Turtles everywhere Mosquitio net could have been bigger for the bed, wouldnt have worked if there were two people. Some of the rooms have older a/c units which hopefully you don't get. I had an old unit but they moved me. Some of the beds in the rooms aren't completely flat either, again you might have to switch rooms. I feel like they could fix this pretty easily.

adjacent to beach, breakfast was good, staff was ok, spacious rooms

Great value for money. Very helpful staff

The location is great, the food is great and the staff is extremely friendly.

Water in sink didn’t work that’s very minor

AC worked well. Spacious room. Nice seating area outside your room. The rooms weren’t located on beach BUT they do have a restaurant that has beach chairs for you to use. The turtles swim in that area. It is ideally located on the quieter side of Gili T. We didn’t hear any music so you will get a good nights sleep. Staff was excellent! They were all very friendly and willing to help with anything you needed.

Great location, very quiet, clean, comfortable Staff were amazing, really helpful, easy bike rent straight from Melati to your cottage door. Tom gave me coke fresh coconut and fresh mango from the tree outside my door??

The staff are very friendly. It is basic but affordable and the bungalows are cute. The bungalows are air conditioned and it’s close to the beach. Ask for a bungalow towards the back if you prefer to go to bed early to avoid the music from all the venues along the beach. The snorkelling is great here and you can hire snorkelling gear from the place. They seem to care about the turtles and fellow guests of this place were nice and keeping a respectful distance from the turtles, instead of some of the other areas where people were doing stupid things like trying to touch the turtles or crowding around them. There was no live music or loud pumping speakers like there are at other places along the beach which was fantastic for us, but still close to all the action if you want it. The beds are hard. Ladies, bring something soft to pop under your hip to avoid getting a dead leg. Bring cash too, this place didn’t take card. Like many other places on the island, there is no hot water here.

The people there are lovely especially Ryan whose real name is Torid. He's really went over and beyond to serve his customers and with all sincerity. He's humorous, cute and really just lovely. Mat greeted and welcomed us warmly when we arrived. He had also assisted to arrange for us for a horse ride out upon our check out. Breakfast was good and generously portioned. Location is superb and really near to the beach. You can really see some turtles at this point although the beach isn't perfect and has quite some stones and dead corals around. Facilities were not great at all. The sink faucet could turn left and right and not fixed tightly to the sink. Water was leaking from the sink. Therefore, you need to open and close it from the main pipe below the sink. The water flow from the shower is kinda small that you can hardly wash off all the sand or be able to wash any of your swimsuits. Also I did not realize that there was quite a steep few steps down the bathroom and it's definitely not good for my sprained legs. The mosquito netting in our room was ridiculously small that it couldn't cover a double bed at all. It covered all over us in our skin and there were holes in it. We used insect repellent and it helped some. The mosquitos were really annoying even when you sleep you can hear them. I was just glad I had a short stay there because of the facility as I'm a very particular person. Hopefully they will fix and upgrade it.
