"Fantastic stay at Rinjani Lodge. What a gem of a hotel. The views are incredible and our room was immaculately clean. The food was delicious with a very wide ranging menu, both local and western/south East Asian. Presentation was lovely, especially breakfast. The room itself was a good size, good AC and a large bathroom. It had a day bed outside where we could chill and simply look! There are two pools - one for those who come to eat/drink and one for residents. The property is set among beautiful and well maintained gardens with many flowers and trees attracting butterflies and birds. We had an issue with our safe and it was looked after immediately. The property is located very close to the gate to the park for the waterfalls. And close to restaurants and local shops/spas. There is an ATM close by. I leave my last words for the staff who are wonderful, friendly, welcoming and most helpful. A true asset to the hotel. We would absolutely return to this hotel and we hope to. "

"Wow. This place was fantastic. We stayed unfortunately for one night only, but we really enjoyed the tranquility and the great energy surrounding Les Rizieres. The terrace immersed in the rice fields is simply spectacular. The room was cozy and provided with all amenities. The breakfast was really good - especially the papaya ginger jam made by the owner which I will never forget. The hotel features two very sweet and friendly dogs and one cute little cat too. The staff helped us also with transport to Bangsal harbor to catch the boat to Gili for a very fair price. Next time we'll definitely stay more. Totally recommended! "

"This hotel is probably the best value for money I have had… Clean comfortable room…excellent restaurant I highly recommend this place Lovely hosts ;)"

"One of the proper stay in East Lombok. It caters to everything you need, just ask. Staff were all very polite and accommodating. Would surely come back in the future."

"Breathtaking Location, Warm Staff – But Needs Improvement in Comfort and Value Jiva Baluam is set in a truly stunning location nestled in a secluded bay with a private beach that feels like your own paradise. The natural beauty is overwhelming, and the bungalows are located right on the sand. It’s a place where you can fully disconnect and enjoy nature. However, the resort is very remote – there are no alternative dining options within 30 minutes, so you’re fully dependent on the in-house restaurant. Unfortunately, the food quality doesn’t justify the high prices. The Indonesian breakfast (like Nasi Goreng) was okay, but the Western breakfast was quite disappointing in both taste and presentation. The resort has been around for over ten years and is beginning to show signs of age. Some renovations would definitely enhance the guest experience. The bungalows are charming, but not well-equipped: there’s no fridge, which is a real downside given the isolation, especially since cold drinks from the restaurant are very expensive. Also, there’s no kettle – as an early riser, I found it frustrating that I couldn’t have tea or coffee until the restaurant opened at 8 a.m. On the bright side, the staff are wonderfully kind and helpful, and the WiFi is excellent surprisingly strong for such a remote location. In summary, Jeeva Baluam offers a magical natural setting and warm hospitality, but it would benefit greatly from thoughtful upgrades and a more guest-friendly infrastruct,"

"Great hotel. Perfect location and great views of paddy fields in all directions, insane value for money and high quality service from Wahyu and team"

"Lovely and quaint room. Very helpful staff. Restaurant right across the road. Beautiful views of the mountains and the rice fields. A wonderful spot "

"Cool little cabin experience. Surroundings are beautiful. The food options are very strange though. Be wary that all western options are frozen packages to be cooked by the guest themselves on a hot plate. "
