We had a wonderful stay here at duarsa bungalows. 

When we got off the ferry we were approached by many people representing many different guesthouses but duarsa was the only one that was in our proverbial shoe string budget. We decided to stay at least one night here and rest whilst we looked for other places to stay the next day.

After hiring bicycles from them, for very cheap, and cycling around the island, we didn't find anywhere as good value for money as duarsa. Which was not too far from the beach and with FREE breakfast inc. tea/coffee.So we decided to stay for 2 weeks there. 

The rooms were twin doubles with TV & fan and were clean and tidy. They also each have their own little porch which was nice to sit on in the evenings and relax before heading to get something to eat near the beach front. The location is not on the beach front so you don't have to pay dive centre prices perfect for budget travellers who don't mind walking 3 mins into 'town'.

When we left the guys threw us a magnificent BBQ with fresh fish, rice and homemade springrolls which was a great way to top off our trip to gili t.

Definitely recommend them and we look forward to our return!

1 night turned in 14..

We stayed in Duarsa Bungalows for 7 nights. It was the cheapest accommodation we could find on Gili Trawangan. It's a bit of a walk from the main strip (about 8-10mins) but we didn't mind that. The owner, Ben, was always pleasant, and there was no hassle when we decided to stay a few extra nights. The rooms and breakfast are very basic, but perfect for backpacking.

Cheap and friendly

We fell for the first review (which could be fake in our opinion when seeing the place for ourselves). When we arrived, we had some hassle with owner over our prepaid Agoda booking which we later settled after some argumentation, seemed that he was knew to this system.  

The Bungalows were very basic, the shower nonfunctional, you can get better price value on countless other places on Trawagan. Breakfast less than avarage. But I can tell that the owner has a good heart and tries his best to run this place but I would expect much more from the money we punt in while staying, we decided to check out pretty quick.

Unforfilled expectations.

The room was filthy, the sheets hadn't been changed (the bed was full of other people's hair), the bathroom was insect infested and the place is overrun by roosters which wake you up FAR too early! The curtains are also very thin, practically see through. There were also a few very, very skinny cats around and the people there did not seem to care at all, which was heartbreaking to see. It is also hugely overpriced for what it is. We booked this online as we panicked that we would not find a room anywhere by turning up as it's high season. We did not need to worry, or stay here, as there are rooms available at far better places on the island when you just turn up on the day. We left as soon as we could after just one night.

Avoid!

This hotel is fine for the price if you can get a room, but in our case, we booked for 2 rooms and when we arrived, the hotel manager (who barely spoke english and specialized in handing me the phone saying "big boss" ) told us we couldn't stay there because they overbooked. When we had to talk with the owner (his dad), he laughed at our face while we moved to another hotel.
The welcoming orange juice was disgusting (powder). The way he cleaned the rooms, well, let's just say I wanted to close my eyes and not think about it anymore. The view is a dusty garden with poultry hanging around.
To avoid at all costs, you will end up by paying more for a room in a worst hotel.
