Do yourself a favour and turn into a rabbit for some days 😄After travelling 3 months in Sri Lanka, Thailand and Bali/Java, I have never been at a hostel as great as this. The warm welcome from staff and fellow rabbits makes you feel at home very quickly. The getting together at the long table in the centre of this amazing building, talking, laughing, even singing, is simply unique. Joining together for the sunset 🌅, having The Family Dinner, going on sunset boat trips snorkelling, or maybe going together to a concert with the local band, Brotherhood. The Rabbit Tree is the hostel, you are dreaming of ❤️🐰

My problem now is, that I find it hard to stay at ordinary hostels. I cannot help comparing them with the rabbit vibe, I left behind. Other hostels typically have no sense of community, nothing happening to bring people together. As I write this, I just want to get back to Gili Meno and my fellow rabbits! 🙏❤️🐰🐰

It is a very fun alice in wonderland style hostel with a lot of themed rooms, crawl spaces, hiding places and cute corners to chill. We met a lot of cool people, it is a great place to socialize and there are always organized activities especially in the evening you can join. The wifi was good. The staff was really nice and helpful and helpes us organize an affordable shuttle back on lombok.

You have to pay in cash also for the room. There are some ATMs at the island, but you should make sure to bring enough cash because they might run out of money. The hygiene was not great, especially the bathrooms were not very clean and they did not change the towles where everyone dried their dirty feet in the 5 days we stayed there. We were not able to stay in the room we booked, because the people there extended their stay. However we did not have to pay more for the room we ended up staying in and were also okey with that :)

Absolutely fantastic. In 35 years of backpacking, by far the most unique and interesting hostel I've ever stayed at. Check out the photographs and you'll see why. The communal area makes it so easy to meet so many different people from around the world. The staff, Seb, Eko and Innes put so much effort in to making this place friendly, welcoming.... and special. For example, a different event is offered each evening, such as a movie, sunset & snorkeling trip, lighthearted sports, games night, etc. As a solo traveller, you soon feel part of a family, and you'll not want to leave. Food is excellent, the Granola Bowl for breakfast is an absolute must (warning, it's addictive 😂). Perfect central location on Gili Meno, close to everything and especially the Brotherhood bar, only 5 minutes away, were the local covers band play twice a week, great for a sing and dance to golden oldies. I booked for two nights, fell in love with both the hostel and Gili Meno, ended up staying for nine nights, I could have happily stayed nine months. Well done Sebastian, your perseverance through challenging times has created a very special place for travelers. I'm missing it already.

Nothing.

Very cool place! Loved this hostel so much. Felt like a big tree house. Also have family dinners etc, which is nice to meet new people.

Unfortunately we weren’t In the room we expected and was just down the road in a outhouse separate. It was completely different from the main hostel and did have bad bugs and cockroaches.

It is a very unique place, build by a French who was in love with Alice in the wonderland. Staff is really friendly. Social hub on the island, good ambiance.

The rainy season, room smelled musty. The kitchen could be more clean. Very noisy muslim prayers. We didn't like the island - there are only expensive resorts or third world slams. Nice snorkling, but it is on Air or T as well. Not worth coming

A super unique and beautiful hostel, designed in a very creative way and each room has a theme. The Indonesian staff were lovely and super friendly. There are events every night and the whole place is super friendly! The rooms were comfy, clean, and air con worked nicely! There's always people around, so nice if you're looking for a social atmosphere.

Have to pay to refill your water bottle (and the water tasted a bit weird). The owner is unfortunately not a local. He's a lovely french guy, but it's nice to see and support local owned businesses. Got sold a sunset tour which was essentially a party sunset tour, but wasn't told about that ahead of time. That was probably the most annoying thing.

The whole place is like a huge tree house, super cool. Each room has its own theme, we were in the bird’s nest without AC and a mosquito net. The staff there is really friendly, Gabi at the desk took her time to give us a tour of the place and to explain the rules, etc. Every night they have a social event, on the night we were there the movie night was on. We also booked our Rinjani tour through the hostel which was good value for money, much less than other tours we looked at. I had the yogurt with granola and fruit which was yummy, highly recommended!

You have to leave shoes outside and walk barefoot. It wouldn’t the a problem per se, but as the toilets are downstairs and most of the rooms are upstairs your feet get dirty by the time you go to bed. This was not a huge deal. reckon this might not be a problem for everyone.

The best thing about this property were the people. We had such lovely time with staff and guests from all around the world. Everyone made you feel super welcome. You could join in with group activities or just relax and do your own thing. Poker & Cocktail night and the big hostel family dinner was our favourite nights. It sounded like they had a great Murder Mystery night which we unfortunately missed. Danny, August and the boys were exceptional hard workers!! Our laundry came back beautiful… I seriously don’t know how they made them so fresh and clean. Thanks for making our stay rememberable!

We stayed in a double room. They were fine, however small. Just remember to bring ear plugs as the mosque is nearby… however no problems. The hostel is in the middle of the island, so great to get to either side in about 10-15 mins walking.

This is one of the most unique hostels I've ever stayed at, it has so much more character than other places. It's a very artsy design that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. The staff are all very friendly and inviting, there are good food options, snorkel rental, and fun activities put on by the team (sunset boat, family dinner, movie night, etc). If you're looking for a chill place on the Gili Islands, Gili Meno and Rabbit Tree Hostel are for you. Much thanks to the whole team (Agus, Seb, Jas, Soiz, and more) for making my time on Gili Meno so enjoyable during Christmas and New Years.

The creativity of the place, really special and thoughtful. Staff and owner very friendly and super accomodating, social activities organized every day. Hostel is located exactly in the middle of the island so all beaches are accessible at the same distance. Quiet peaceful hostel with friendly vibes. 100% reccomended.

Food was delicious, however as part of the hostel menu, maybe could be a little bit cheaper. Salty water.
