We were booked five nights but ended up staying for 8. Very friendly staff! Great pool and your own little bungalow. Good price! Its not a fivestar resort if thats what your after but we really enjoyed our stay here. 
Breakfeast is good but on the simple side.
Good rooms with ac and bathroom. 

Great stay with pool 

We spent a night at Gili Cemara Bungalows. It was a decent stay overall. The staff was okay, comfort wise was fine. They didn't provide drinking water in the rooms, we had to buy water, which was a slight turn off. The bicycles could have been in a much better condition. Would like it of the hotel helped in organizing snorkeling tours. Otherwise, it was a good enough stay.

Decent one night stay, could have been better! Great location

We booked 3 nights but stayed for 7.

It is a 5 minute walk from the harbour which suited us. It is also close to many good restaurants, the beach and cash machine. It is easy to walk to anywhere on the island even with children (ours are 6 & 8yo) but they also rent bikes for 50 IDR per day. 

There are 10 cottages, 8 of which face the pool. The pool is a great size and it is well maintained. The breakfast is perfect for us, a choice of toasted sandwich, omelette, toast or pancakes with tea or coffee. This extended to our children who were sharing our room. They had theirs with fresh juice.

They don’t currently serve lunch or dinner but you can buy a small selection of drinks.

We would definitely stay again.

Good location & great pool

Good bungalows with pool view. The cleaning and breakfast was good. The staff was very helpful and polite. Especially Imron made our stay joyful. The location was close to the beach and the Harbour...

Good accommodation with friendly staff

I was surprised actually, I had a nice stay at this place. Rooms are clean, bathroom fairly clean, staff friendly and helpful. The pool area is really nice as well. Breakfast simple but delicious. It’s very quiet.

Pleasant

After hiking Mt. Rinjani, I came to Gili Air expecting to rest and perhaps be a little pampered. This is one of the comfiest hotels I've stayed in while traveling Asia. I had a twin room to myself. It was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was very large and had hot water (which was very needed after hiking Rinjani!). The free breakfasts were also great, especially the banana pancake. The wifi was decent (island-quality--it can be hit or miss), and the pool outside was great. They also have a laundry service, and the staff are super friendly. Stay here if you come to Gili Air!

Resort-quality hotel for a lower price

The staff were so unfriendly and unwelcoming. A few times I had to wake them up from their naps as I needed something!! Arrived and on the first day all the electricity went down, no aircon, lights, wifi etc. I went to ask what had happened, not given any info just that this is normal on Gili Air and a few shrugs. They understand you completely until you start to discuss perhaps paying less for the room then they suddenly say sorry I dont understand. They don't have a generator like other places. This happened every day we were there roughly between 12-5 no electricity. Although the price is very cheap, I would rather pay more and feel comfortable where I am staying. The pool is nice and the location is decent. The bungalows are very close to the speaker which announces the Mosque prayers. Every morning between 4am-4.30am we were woken up by this and it continues throughout the day at various points. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Don't stay here

We arrived to Gili Air with no reservations. The first place we went to (very nearby, forgot the name) had no working A/C and claimed it was because the voltage from mainland is dodgy. We did try to verify this and powercuts seem to be a thing in general, but I would take it with a pinch of salt when you're told that 'it's everywhere in the island'. We anxiously started looking for a new place nearby (as we were hot and tired) and stumbled upon this - which did in fact had working air con. We extended by a night, but had to move after that as despite having mentioned 3-4 days 'if the air con works', they were actually fully booked, so we had to move rooms the 2nd day (double to twin) and accommodation on the third - they did not tell this to us when we first asked. Otherwise, the staff was nice enough, but we definitely didn't feel the hospitality 
 'going out of the way' mentioned in other reviews. We mainly saw a little muslim lady who dealt with most of the stuff and some young lads hanging about. Their English was passable, but not amazing. (I was confused as to why I couldn't see the moon and I was told that it was either in my room or Europe - I didn't quite catch the exact phrase)

Pros:
The rooms are pretty spacious and seem relatively new and the beds are larger than average. The room appears to be clean (I didn't see any bugs) and you also have a little balcony. Breakfast is included and the options are good. There is also a little bar are for snacks and drinks if you need them. The pool is big and clean, though not very cool. It's not in the main-main area, but it's easily walkable (about 5 mins from the port and 10 from restaurants, maybe less). Free Wi-Fi included, works good, but not great

Cons:
Only one of the two sockets worked in my room. It looks very budget - hospital green curtains that don't completely blackout and shadeless lamps. Don't expect any bottles of water or hair dryers or room cleaning. The AC works, but isn't really powerful enough for the climate. If you have it on 24/7 on the highest setting, it does become livable in the room. That said it is relatively noisy, but in that heat you won't care. The bathroom area is very dark and the mirror is at an inconvenient height. You also can't leave the door open to make it less stuffy if you want to sleep in the cool. It's also located very close to the mosque (that, or there are speakers hidden somewhere) so you will very clearly hear all the callouts for prayer time. The first one is like 4.30am. 

If you're on a budget and not too fussy, it's absolutely fine to stay here. If you're looking for a little more intimate and upclass honeymoon stay then maybe look elsewhere.

Fine for budget/short stays, cough up a bit more elsewhere for romantic holidays though
