Farid, who runs the bungalows, was very welcoming and caring. We experienced a flat tire on our scooter, and he borrowed us his scooter so we could go for dinner and took us the next day to a mechanic to repair our tire. The bungalow is basic but has everything that you need - a comfy bed, hot water and a toilet. As a bonus Farid made us great banana pancakes for breakfast and the bungalows have a nice view of Mt. Rinjani.

We were welcomed by friendly brothers who are running the cabins. They took good care of us, providing great breakfast, bringing us to a nice local restaurant nearby and organising tours and transport for us. Beautiful view at the border of the national park, we saw monkeys in the trees from our cabin.

Amazing location, right at the edge of the Rinjani National Park with a gorgeous view of the mountain. we saw monkeys, a eagle and several species of singing bird over breakfast 😊 Farid has been very kind and helpful, he arranged our trips and even went to get us dinners since the location is rather remote

Unreal view of Rinjani and its neighbours from your bed. Sunsets above and beyond. It’s about 800m from the start of the Rinjani NP. Farid, the manager was really helpful - even came down to the ferry to meet us! Folks in town at the local warung, so kind and friendly. Breakfast was ok, but if you’ll need to take a bit of a hike into town to find shops and warungs. 10-15 mins.

Farid and Sandi were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They organized our tour (3days 2 nights) at the Rinjani volcano. The guide Wardi and the two porters were gorgeous and we had an amazing experience. Thank you guys

It was perfect place with stunning view at Rinjani volcano, awesome surrounding and the host was very friendly, we talked a lot and told us about country people and culture. He also arranged the trek for Rinjani volcano. We stayed one night more. I can just recommend to all people coming to Sembalu.

Farid is a very kind and attentive host who goes the extra mile to make his guests feel welcome. He made sure we were comfortable and offered options for our meals. Checking in and out was easy - host also regularly contacted me to ensure that everything was alright/we were making our way without any issues to the bungalow :)
