The gardens are well maintained and units far enough away from each other to ensure peace and quiet. Just walk over the road to the beach which was great. Had read from a previous review that one of the garden rooms is next to a walkway which has rubbish lining it. We asked to move and were given a unit which was very private, so once again it all depends on where your room is located.

Agree with most reviewers about the pool, but the beach is just over the road.

Truly fabulous. The rooms are clean and comfortable and recently. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble to organise. Location and proximity to the beach excellent. Actually, one of the only areas you can access the beach without heavy coral debris. Proximity to the harbour means you can walk to the accommodation. The beaches raked clean of any rubbish and debris that may have washed up.

Recent renovations have removed mosquito nets. Mosquitoes do access easily through the bathroom door So beware. This is out of Scallywags control but If there on a Friday night, the zip bar Next Door has a thumping music every Friday night till 4 am. even heavy duty earplugs don’t help. swimming pool is a little unusual but proximity to the beach means it’s not really an issue.

Great location, really nice staff and a beach club in front of the hotel that belongs to the property where you can have breakfast and they reserve sun beds for troughout your stay.

Unfortunately we did not get the room we booked, the part of the hotel where we booked was closed because the other part was not fully booked. In our opinion, the room we had booked was more luxurious, since we had been there before. We were not informed of this prior to our arrival. Also, the hotel didn’t inform us in advance about the fact that the restaurant was only open until 4 p.m. so that dinner wasn’t available at the property.

Scallywags is in a great location on Gili Air, in close proximity to the wharf/port. The room was spacious & clean, had all requirements such as a very comfortable bed, good a/c & frig & a nice bathroom with outdoors shower, which was nice, even in the rain! It also had a nice entry/outside area, even if I didn't use because of the rain. The grounds are well laid out with greenery everywhere. The beach was across from the reception & had great seating on a nice private beach. Despite the rain I enjoyed my days at Scallywags.

I was disappointed there was no Happy Hour & spent time (& funds) at adjacent Bars & Restaurants.

Fab location, a short walk from the pier with a lovely sandy beach that had sunbeds for guests to use for free. We walked up the beach one day to snorkel and saw a turtle within 5 mins of being in the water, just magical! We had a family room which was perfect, separate bedroom for the kids so we all had our own space. Food was good quality and reasonably priced and staff were excellent. The children loved the pool by the bar, it always felt very refreshing!

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the bathroom as it’s open air, not a major issue just something to be aware of.

staff was simply cool:) we felt very welcomed, beach bungalows were nice and few steps from the beach, breakfast was great and we also liked their restaurant, especially the grilled mahi mahi

smell of the garbage dump located on the beach next to the property. this has nothing to do with awesome scallywags management/property, its simply island/lomboks council decision, really uncomprehensible one. on some days you wont smell anything, but on the other days when you can smell it, it spoils the entire feeling of being ‚on the best beach on the island‘. overall we were sad about garbage to be found everywhere on gilis.

Room was comfortable, I really enjoyed the deck/patio space. Lovely garden. Air conditioning was lovely. Appreciated the tea and coffee! Breakfast was outstanding. Wonderful fruits and juices. Eggs and bacon AND sausage was delicious. Lots of comfortable sun chairs. Grounds are a great combination of sun and shade ( which is most necessary- the shade!!). White sandy beach a delight. Use of environmental practices MOST appreciated- large water dispenser in our room. Towels only changed if requested. No plastic straws. Every bit makes a difference. 🙏thanks

My room safe was never fixed. Fortunately I shared with my friend. My water volume and pressure was very low for n my shower … yet in my friends cabin- she had lots. The pool was a disappointment. Right at the bar, under cover.

The place is right on the beach (South East) and a few minutes walk from the Port. The sun is quite strong in the morning and to see better sunsets you can go towards the South West of the island. The staff welcomed us with a drink and a cold face towel which we really appreciated. Good selection at breakfast with fresh products and many restaurants, spas and shops nearby. You can also book a dive course, snorkel (and maybe see the turtle if you're lucky) and do many more water activities. The room was fine.

We were in the farthest room from the reception and the wi-fi was not working most of the time. The shower was cold, which was fine due to the hot weather but perhaps this can be improved for the comfort of guests. Breakfast was good but the menu was not very clear regarding the available choices. Perhaps it could be written in a better way.

The location of the rooms was great- hidden in beautiful gardens. The outside bathroom was great, very tropical. The rooms were on the smaller size but perfect for staying at Gili as we spent most of our time at the beach. The bed was super comfortable and the aircon worked well. The included breakfast was great, having a few different choices. The staff were very accomodating with assisting with bike hire and boat hire/tour booking for snorkelling. Perfect location for swimming straight out the front of the hotel. Good location being close enough to access the main area of Gili. Note if you want to see the sunset it is on the other side of the island but this side is much better for swimming and snorkelling. Only a ten min bike ride to good sunset spots.

We did not have towels when we arrived but the staff quickly delivered them to our room. Otherwise we had a great time.

The property is set back from the beach right in the heart of Gili Air. The accomodation is beautifully designed in the traditional island style surrounded by immaculate tropical gardens.

As the property is located by the beach a door mat to help remove addition sand from feet would make a difference, a small foot bath was provided but then you forced to walk onto the slippery interior tiles. There was 1 bin, it was located in the bathroom, as a lot of time was spent on the balcony it would be handy to have one there as well. No happy hour drinks at the bar
