Gili Beach Bum Hotel is set in Gili Trawangan, 300 metres from Turtle Conservation Gili Trawangan. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Certain rooms come with a balcony and a patio. The air-conditioned rooms have a private bathroom.

Beach Bum Hotel was the perfect place to stay in Gili T! It's the only hostel on the main road, right behind one of the coolest bars called Lava. The rooms are spacious and with only 3 to 4 beds it's easy to have your own space and still make friends with other solo travelers. The staff is super friendly and helpful, they keep the rooms and bathrooms pretty clean, and you get a complimentary simple breakfast every day. You can also book activities, bikes, and even your ferry back to Bali through them. I spent 3 weeks there and loved every minute of it!

This hostel was great, the facilities are clean, bed was comfy, there was wifi, a pool,... The place is quite new so there are still a few things they are adjusting but it is actually really good! The owner then also helped me figuring out where I needed to be for my boat and helped another friend of mine out with booking taxi and boat trip for his return from Kuta. They really know their stuff and are happy to help and make sure you are ok! This is also a great place to rest before or after getting the boat!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I had great stay at Melbao! It’s Minutes walk from the ferry port, check in is easy, good wifi, good sound proofing, easy to rent a bike from Aladdin’s next door, and best of all the staff were lovely. The surrounding businesses are owned by family so I felt very safe as a solo female. Thanks heaps guys and hope to see you again!

    Great location, very clean, spacious, nicely furbished. Air Con very efficient and silent, hot water 24/7, good breakfast and great Lombok Coffee every morning. Friendly and very helpful staff. They arranged very cheap (150k IDR) and nice snorkeling trip by boat arround the 3 Gilis. The location is good and quiet, but close to nice terraces on the Eastern coast of the Gili Air (2-3 min walk, see on Google Maps).

    Fantastic Bamboo Hut is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed at. Breakfast is amazing, many options such as pancakes with fresh fruit or omelette. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, who all play terrific guitar. Great location next to where the boat drops you off so very easy to drop your stuff off after arriving. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with a bathroom within the hut. I wish i could stay here forever, thank you for everything.

    one of the best hostel I stayed. Great Wi-Fi (was able to have video calls), breakfast was valuable. Coffee or tea was served every day. The room was clean, got my towel, comfy bed, a lot of activities to do - you can rent a bikecycle. Peaceful environment. 10 minutes from sunset point. 3 minutes from great and cheap warungs. Not at busy street so it’s quiet around - if they don’t pray.

    Pretty setting, love that it's not bunk beds despite being a dormitory/hostel. Staff are friendly, too. Bed is relatively comfortable to sleep on.
