i nearly left this place with a glowing review, but the kitchen just couldn't manage simple breakfast—undercooked omelettes and dense lemon pancakes. i also expected complimentary wine for my stay because, honestly, who doesn't deserve a little extra? the noise from the bar kept me awake—great for some, but not me, woudl ve been nice to be treated like royalty.

the pool area is great for relaxing. the water at the shower was salty.

The cottages offer a relaxed atmosphere right by the beach with a beautiful swing in the water just in front. The recently renovated sea view rooms are delightful, perfect for switching between the beach and the pool.

There are a few drawbacks. The bathrooms could use a scrub. mold was noticeable, and some fixtures, like the toilet, were outdated and didn't flush well. This is compounded by salty water for showers and brushing teeth, making hygiene a bit tricky. The breakfast options were lackluster, with poorly executed dishes like undercooked omelettes and flavorless pancakes that left much to be desired.

Do recommend for a temporary stay

Charming cottages, beautiful pool, easy beach access, with the helpful staff providing excellent service and organizing activities like snorkeling trips during my enjoyable 4-night stay in a deluxe double room.

No problems at all.

Chill vibes and great food!

Super chill spot right on the beach! Loved hanging out on the swings in the sea and watching the sunset. The staff were really friendly and helped me with plans for snorkeling, which was amazing. Ate at the restaurant by the pool a lot—food was always good! Just a bit noisy at night from nearby bars.

It was just a reliable pick for a fleeting moment in Gili Air with extraordinarily good value for money. The staff were super friendly and even organized a snorkeling trip for us, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay. Make sure to check the tide schedule if you're planning to swim during your visit.

This place suits me perfectly, providing free wi-fi, outdoor swimming pool, and a cozy restaurant. On my first stay, the staff helped me with printing, and during my last visit, they cared for me when I got sick. I highly recommend it, and I'm coming back for a new year.

It was just a great fit for a mini-vacation in Gili Air with definitely value for money. The staff was super helpful, even arranging a snorkeling trip that turned out to be one of the best parts of my stay. Make sure to check out the sunset views from the beach.

i absolutely loved my stay at the pelangi! the staff was fantastic, making me feel like part of their family. my double room was cozy and very clean. the food was delicious, especially when they made grilled fish just for me. plus, the outdoor pool was perfect for relaxing after beach time.

totally recommend

Pelangi offered a delightful experience with its newly renovated sea view rooms, which were both beautiful and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond, arranging snorkeling trips and always being attentive to needs. The location next to the beach provided a stunning view and easy access to great swimming spots. The on-site restaurant served delicious food and cocktails, enhancing the overall experience.

Occasional noise from nearby bars could be a concern.

The Double Room with Private Bathroom was cozy and clean, just what I needed. AC worked well, and I loved the mini fridge! The water pressure was strong, but I did notice some mold in the bathroom, which could use a little refresh. Still, the comfy vibe and helpful staff made my stay really enjoyable. I'd totally go back!

I had a fantastic time at this place! The beachfront access made it so easy to enjoy the sea, and I loved that the staff offered free water refills which cut down on plastic waste. Breakfast was consistently tasty, especially the pastries! The only downside was that the bathrooms could use a bit of updating, but overall, I would definitely return.
