The House Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Gili Trawangan. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Staff on site can arrange airport transfers.

For it being a relatively inexpensive hotel/hostel, it was a 10 for us. The staff is super nice and attentive. Bed is comfortable. Room is good size. Liked having balcony with two chairs and a table. It’s definitely not a party hostel and they foster a mellow vibe with soothing music. It’s in quiet area, but only about 10 minute walk to main road on east coastline with tons going on. Definitely consider the night market for low cost grilled seafood that was very tasty.

Wow, what a beautiful, quirky adults dream tree house. As you walk through the door you are welcomed by a very friendly staff that then processed to take you on a tour of the place to ensure that you see all the different themed rooms. There are many different common shared areas where you can meet all the over travellers or just relax and read a book. The staff were all so friendly and had activities planned every day to ensure that there is always something happening from yoga lessons, to games night, beach bonfires and snorkelling trips. The hostel is located in the middle of the island and so it is about a 5-minute walk to any beach around the island. I stayed in the Bolla Bolla room which is the massive Ball pit room which made me feel just like a kid again. I loved this magical treehouse hostel and will definitely be back.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    I didn't stay anywhere else on gili t but this is still the best hostel on the island. It has a good and social vibe. It's clean, warm showers, nice breakfast and cheap drinks. Staff is awesome, they help you with literally everything. Enjoyed myself so much that ended up on tipsea turtle on gili air.

    I would give him 11/10 if I could. The location is very close to the harbor so you don't have to use the horse carriage! You get what you have for the price. It is so cheap but very clean and I felt very safe. It is not far from the main street but still very quiet. They can get you good discounts for activities, they know everyone! He was so kind and always smiling and helping me with all my questions. Definitely recommend if you are on a low budget!

    Just fking everything! If not the best, this is one of the best hostel in Gilli T! They don't have bunk beds, but a really good single bed with an amazing mattress. The location is 10 min walk from the beach and the main market. They organise a lot of activities for their guests like Snorkelling, Sunset ocean Dives, Hostel games like Spoons, Kings, Quizes etc. I did all of them and it was too fun :) They also have a inhouse bar which has happy hours from 7-9 PM so, you can pre-booze for cheap and head out to the main bars to dance :)

    10000000/10! We loved EVERYTHING at Jati. Livia and Yan were the absolute best people who made us feel very at home. Games and family dinners were offered every evening for guests to enjoy. The hostel is in a great location, has gorgeous pool area and anything you could need is available upon request (bike/snorkel rentals/ laundry/ snorkelling trips). very sociable hostel great for making friends. you are simply missing out if you do not stay here! THE BEST HOSTEL WE HAVE EVER STAYED AT. !!!
