Perfect
Perfect place to stay. Clean and tidy and friendly staff. The only problem was the water pressure in the shower was not good. I definitely stay there again.

they had a problem of double booking. when we got there at night, no room was available for us. Therefore we were organized to move to a nearby hotel, but that one was far from main street and there was a muddy path without light from main street to that hotel. It was inconvenient at night to go out for dinner.

Great location!
I had a wonderful 4 nights at Karma Kayak. The owners and staff were amazing. Murrielle, Suri and everyone at the resort could not do enough to ensure a pleasant and relaxed stay.

Paradise at the beach!
I could rave on and on about this place! My bungalow was in fantastic condition and very clean. Service was above and beyond. Bit of a walk to get there, 30 mins (unless you take a cidomo). Great food and drinks too! And best thing is that you can snorkel out about 10-15 metres and come across turtles and loads of fish!

Lovely little place with great staff
Beautiful hotel with great beach set up - tables, sunbeds and cushions everywhere. Food and drinks were good and all staff were lovely. Opposite side of the island to where the boat dropped us from Bali, but still OK to get to. Would stay here again if ever returning to Gili T.

Best hotel on Gili T
Loved it! Great staff, great location, room was beautiful and had everything we needed, breakfast had great options and very filling! The hotel has the best private beach on the island, with comfy bean bags and sun lounges. It was a perfect distance away from the main centre to be quite and peaceful, however only a 20 min walk or 10 min bike ride away! 10/10!!

The location was amazing. Off from the chaos and on the beach, but not too far of a walk. Loved everything about it.

Different from mainland hotels
Not as good as the ones on the mainland but it is on an island so facilities are more limited. Still good.

Thanks for your lovely review! It was so nice having you here so we are thrilled you had such a nice time. We are currently working on getting coffee and tea in the rooms, but until that time you are always more than welcome to order tea or coffee to the room from our bar! Hopefully we'll see you again some time, thank you for staying.

Vi kom aldrig til vores hotel pga jordskælvet på Lombok. Jeg synes det er uprofessionelt af jer ikke at være mere vidende eller behjælpelige i vores - og sikkert mange andres - situation. Vores penge er spildt!

はっきり言って、この宿泊代を出すなら、ほかのところえ、泊まることをすすめます、 部屋は、蚊が多くて、タオル以外何も、備え付けがなく、夜の食事でも、出るのが遅く、結局いろいろ注文しても最後にこれはありませんとのこと、隣のホテルに行きました、朝食も3島の中で1番悪いです、オナー、、マネジャーがヨーロッパの若い女性で、まだ、行き届いてない感じです

Friendly and clean
Our family spent 4 nights at Karma Kayak in Aug17 and we had a good stay: Rooms are simple, but clean and big enough for an extra bed. Bathroom was clean. Staff is friendly and good with kids. The location is great, in the quiet part of Gili T, which is very important during highseason. Beach in front of resort is not easy to access without water shoes, but nice snorkling. This is no luxury accomodation, but a very friendly place to spend your vacation.

Emplacement excentré mais très agréable et plus calme que le centre ville. Situé à 10mn max en vélo du centre ville. Personnel extrêmement serviable. Plage aménagée devant l’hôtel. Spot de snorkling très correct a condition de s'éloigner de la plage.

Wunderschöner Strand und tolles Beachrestaurant
Der Strand beim Karma Kayak ist sehr schön und gut zum schnorcheln geeignet - tolles Riff und großartige Unterwasserwelt. Badeschuhe sind empfehlenswert da viele Korallen am Strand liegen. Das Restaurant und die Beachbar ist wundervoll angelegt und gerade auch am Abend zum Sonnenuntergang ein Highlight. Das Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Gerade die Jungs die sich um den Strand/Restaurant kümmern. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Bungalows sind groß und ausreichend eingerichtet. Die Terrasse ist gemütlich eingerichtet und lädt zum verweilen ein. Allerdings waren dort leider viel Moskitos. Im Schlafzimmer fehlt leider ein Moskitonetz und die Klimaanlage war sehr laut. Das Badezimmer müsste renoviert werden. Es sieht teilweise nicht sauber aus. Da das Moskitonetze am Badfenster nicht richtig abschließt hatten wir teilweise Ameisen und anderes Getier im Bad/Schlafzimmer. Alles in allem würden wir dieses Hotel aufgrund der guten Lage und des wunderschönen Strandes weiterempfehlen.

Ökohotel in ruhiger Lage
Das Hotel liegt abseits der Partymeile in angenehm ruhiger Lage und verfügt über einen kleinen Strandabschnitt, welcher sehr liebevoll gestaltet ist. Jedoch zeigen sich auf Gili Trawangan (wie auch auf Bali) die Auswirkungen der Verunreinigung des Meeres sowie der Umweltverschmutzung anhand der vielen Korallenskelette an allen Stränden der Insel. Daher sind Schuhe beinahe unverzichtbar um unverletzt ins Meer zu gelangen. Sehr positiv ist deshalb anzumerken, dass sich das Hotel aktiv für den Umweltschutz einsetzt (Reduktion von Müll, ein Teil der Einnahmen wird gespendet usw.). Die kleinen Bungalows sind zweckmäßig und verfügen jeweils über eine schöne Terasse. Leider sind keine Moskitonetze am Bett angebracht, was auf den Bildern für uns so aussah. Das Essen war in Ordnung, leider keine indonesische Küche. Auf der Insel gibt es keine motorisierten Fahrzeuge, daher sind Pferdekutschen ein gängiges Verkehrsmittel. Diese Pferde werden jedoch viel zu früh für diesen Zweck missbraucht, sodass sie nicht mehr wachsen. Sie müssen enorme Gewichte ziehen, sind sichtlich erschöpft und gestresst und stehen, wenn sie einmal kurz Pause haben, meist in der Sonne ohne Wasserzufuhr. Man kann sich überall Fahrräder ausleihen!

Genieten!
We hebben het heerlijk gehad! Het enige wat jammer was, was dat we maar 4 dagen geboekt hadden... we hadden er graag nog een paar nachten bij aan geplakt. Direct aan het strand (zandweggetje er tussendoor) en daar heel mooi gesnorkeld, goed gegeten, gevoel gehad dat alles kan en mag. Leuk om even bij het drukkere gedeelte te kijken, maar daarna lekker weer terug naar Karma Kayak en de rust en gezelligheid daar.

Mooie rustige plek aan het strand. Snorkelen, zonnen of lekker chillen onder de bomen aan het strand. Koel biertje, lekkere hapjes. Genieten van de zonsondergang. Bijzonder vriendelijke en behulpzame hotelstaf. Deze mooie en rustige plek aan de noordzijde van Gili Trawangan is een aanrader!
