Begadang

Read this before you book - they play music till midnight everyday!! If you’re in a bungalow, say goodbye to early night sleep after exploring nature. Passive aggressive rude owner (local staff in the kitchen and reception are super lovely though). If you’re coming to Gili Air to chill and explore nature beauty, or if you’re a family, this is probably not the place for you. This is definitely a hostel backpacker vibe like Gili T. Owner was super rude when I asked them to turn the music quieter at 9:50pm. It wasn’t slow evening music, it was loud clubbing music! I got called selfish and “the world doesn’t spin around me”, what kind of customer service attitude is this? I don’t usually leave bad reviews online as I always speak to the management directly if there’s any issues or rook for improvement. But owner doesn’t appreciate feedback in this case. Decent location, nice pool and kitchen, terrible shower pressure it was just dripping, zero soundproof in the bungalow. I checked out 2 nights earlier and found a way more peaceful accommodation on the island for the same price instead.

the worst place i have been in Indonesia. extremely dirty, dangling wires and full of cobwebs. to top it all the room was in the middle of a construction site as the photos show. the rude owner. never had such a bad experience. absolutely AVOID

This place is a community spot. You can meet other travelers, get recommendations on things to do, and enjoy great food from their restaurant. You have everything you could want at this place. The staff was always ready to help me out with anything I needed. A great place to stay on the island truly!

The staff were really great and friendly, the food was delicious and really good prices. The chill out area is super nice - lots of comfy shady spots but equally good sun loungers. The pool is really cool and was great that the bar closes at midnight. Thank you!

One of my favourite places on Gili Air! From the food to the bar, the sports days and good vibes. Begadang is one of my favourite places to chill on Gili Air. They have awesome and reasonably priced accommodation available, situated over-looking their famous mushroom pool. The owners are super hospitable and present and the staff are so friendly. Another epic thing about this haven is that the service is fast and they offer delivery for those of you who don't want to leave the comforts of your accommodation. If you're hungry and want amazing size portions, I would highly recommend this place! Thank you Begadang for never disappointing!

Begadang has it all: an accommodation with multiple room choices, a chill place to work, hang out, or play games, and an amazing restaurant with too many options to choose from. Located in the Northwest, Begadang is a gathering place on the weekends where you can spend all day with friends enjoying the menu and the mushroom-shaped pool. They also have board games, darts, and special events. No matter what you do, don’t leave without ordering a chocolate chip cookie for 10k. If you’re lucky and they are fresh from the oven, you might even need to order two. The menu has something for everyone. Great place for backpackers and families alike!
