Meno House

This is such a delightful property. Relaxing, comfortable, and friendly. The people were all amazing (Yuri, Jael, Iggy, Sandi, and others) and they took exquisite care of us. Communication before we arrived was truly excellent (thanks, Jordan) and they helped us to arrange our travel to and from the resort, providing helpful recommendations. The food at the restaurant is top notch, especially for a beach island, and the whole resort was clean and well kept. We walked around the entire island (about 3 miles) and this felt like the best resort of all. BASK is more boojey and higher end, for sure. But it doesn’t feel authentic or beachy. Just like a fancy hotel that’s been built where it shouldn’t. Meno House strikes the perfect balance: it feels luxurious without sacrificing authenticity and charm. We would go back here again and highly recommend it.

We stayed at Meno House for 4 nights during our honeymoon and were drawn in by the peaceful location, boutique feel, and beachfront setting — and in many ways, it delivered. The rooms are beautifully designed, modern, and perfect for a romantic escape. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean and private beach with sunbeds were ideal for relaxing. Breakfast was consistently delicious (especially the coffee), and the staff were friendly and attentive. We also loved the thoughtful honeymoon cake waiting in our room on arrival. Snorkelling and diving off the beach were highlights, and the hotel offers free snorkelling gear and bikes (though cycling through sand was a challenge!). However, a few things let the experience down. On our first night, we found stained bed linen, a towel with holes, and a large cockroach in the room. Bugs also got in easily through the bathroom door. The staff responded quickly, and the manager, Jordan, arranged pest control and offered a complimentary cocktail. Still, despite being on-site later, he never approached us directly — a personal check-in would’ve meant a lot. Also, though Meno House is marketed as adults-only, children were present in shared areas, and transfers could be better value. Overall, it’s a stunning, peaceful spot with real potential. With a little more polish in hospitality and quality control, it could be truly exceptional.

The staff were very attentive and helped us with everything from tips around the area to helping us get the ferry back.

We had a fantastic stay at Meno House! The rooms were among the best standards we've experienced on the Gili Islands—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is outstanding, especially if you enjoy snorkeling. Just steps from the hotel is a beautiful coral reef filled with colorful fish, and we were lucky enough to see turtles almost every day. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely service-minded. Overall, an absolutely flawless experience. We highly recommend Meno House and would gladly stay here again!
