Jelenga Homestay

Warm welcome, great breakfast options, lovely hammock and pool area

Super séjour! Tout était super. Les chambres sont propre et confortable. La piscine super, le personnel très agréable. Petit déjeuner incroyable. Je recommande!

The rooms are spacious, the area is quiet and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking.

The kitchen and dining area could do with some TLC but overall it was usable and I believe some changes have been made since we stayed!

the owner has integrity and valuable insights

Would be nice to have a desk & tv, mosquito repellent and wired internet, not reasonable to expect for low price, would pay more for that.

Epic spot. Best value and best host for miles and miles.

Nothing

Good internet, spacious room and nice owners

L’accueil et la gentillesse de l'hôte ! La beauté du lieu et de sa piscine. Les déjeuners sont excellents. Je recommande fortement ce lieu car j'y ai passé un séjour merveilleux.

Very friendly staff who were happy to answer all your questions and give advice. A/C and pool were great. Breakfast was exceptional

Only missing hot water but for the budget price you can't have everything

Great vibe, the owner Ian and his wife are very available and have the time and patience to answer all your questions. The rooms are large with an A/C, comfortable bed and a large veranda. The included breakfast at "Scarbucks" is great and has good variety.

Can't fault it tbh.

posto molto bello, abitazione molto grande e il proprietario super gentile e accogliente, sempre disponibile e ci ha dato molti aiuti per andare nei migliori surf spot. Acqua potsbile inclusa, lavatrice gratis e cucina condivisa. La colazione inclusa che ti danno è nel bar Scarbucks. Posto super consigliato.

Wonderful pool to cool off and A/C. Great breakfast too

La ubicación es muy buena, en el pueblo y a menos de 10 minutos a pie de la playa. El jardín y las zonas comunes con piscina son muy agradables. El propietario es muy simpático y da buenos consejos sobre mareas y olas para surfear. El desayuno y la cena, en la cafetería de al lado, son excelentes: gran variedad, platos locales y de muy buena calidad.

La habitación es sencilla, sin armarios ni mesa para dejar las cosas. Solo había sábana de abajo y una manta, lo que con el calor resulta incómodo. El baño está bien equipado, aunque la limpieza podría mejorar. En general, la relación calidad-precio es correcta.

Perfect homestay, I was shocked with how incredibly good the price to quality ratio was.

L’accueil et la gentillesse du propriétaire , la proximité de la plage (magnifique)

Ce n’est pas une critique mais il faut bien comprendre que c’est un endroit pour backpacker. La moustiquaire mériterait d’être mieux installée.

イアンさんファミリーのホスピタリティと、美味しいご飯、イアンさんの奥様が作ってくれるカフェラテ、最高でした。 もちろんリゾートみたいなファンシーな施設ではないですが、それよりももっと大切なものがありました。夕飯、朝ごはんはカフェで毎日食べましたが、とても美味しいかぅたです。サーフィンするには最高のロケーションですし、近所のピザ屋さんも美味しくてお昼は毎日そこへ行きました。 マンゴーとジャックフルーツの木、かわいい猫と犬、ニワトリ、牛、ヤギ、自然がすきならぜひこちらでの滞在が楽しめると思います。

Kind and generous people live in this town. We loved the homestay, nothing was too much of a hassle for Ian and his family. Very relaxing stay with a short walk to the nearest beach, cafe and warungs. Facilities were great.

Location and practical and facilities.

Everything just perfect

The best money to value ratio you can find anywhere on the island. On top of that the owner is super nice and they got some good boards.

The standard is decent but still good.

Super good spot, friendly staff, and clean!

Cosy friendly nook near scar reef. Nice big rooms, helpful and kind hosts. Would defo come back next time :-) thanks again 🙏😄

Location

Ian, the owner, organized the bus to Mataram and the shuttle to the bus stop for us.

The homestay is a bit hidden without a sign on the main road, so we had problems to find it. It also seemed to us that the place has seen better days. Unfortunately, we couldn't rent a scooter from the homestay (and from nobody else in town), so we highly recommend bringing your own scooter from somewhere else if you don't want to be stuck in town like we were. We also felt a bit unsure about our departure to Lombok as we had no tickets and didn't know the company, Ian had booked for us, but it worked.

Insane value for what you get, the room is clean, spacious and the Wifi access is also great.

The perfect home stay. Clean, perfect location, full of knowledge will give the best tips and where to go. Your garentee to be looked after. Defiantly coming again

Owner was very welcoming and helpful. Didnt use kitchen facilities as we could eat out for cheap. Short walk to the surf. Be mindful this in a simple indonesian village with great surf. There is not much else around. We were able to get good coffee and breakfast in the village. There is little to do unless you have your own transport. Thankyou Ian and Alda for having us!

I loved everything about the village and the homestay. The area is really pretty and the waves are epic! The owner Ian is a very chill guy, he knows a lot about the area as he's been there ages. Having him as a host definitely makes visiting Jelenga easier!

We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Jelenga is a beautiful quiet little village with friendly locals and beautiful scenery. The rooms were very big, with comfortable beds. The pool was always clean and the WiFi was spotless. Our favorite part however was Ian, who went above and beyond to help us scooter-less tourists plan our route and even organized a transport to the next bus station from where we left. Thank you Ian, we will bother you again in the future. :)

Mango tree, and great location

Nothing, it was perfect

Great and spacious room and very quiet guesthouse.

everything was perfect.

exactly what I needed for a few days in Sumbawa :-)

nothing. all great!

Awesome location, friendly host with plenty of local insights, comfortable rooms. Can walk to the beach, surf, cafes, local mart ect. Village is super friendly and welcoming, loved the sunset hangs on the beach. Great base for west sumbawa surf trip. Rooms have pumping A/C!!! Free wifi, water provided and breakfast at the local cafe, great food + coffee. Awesome price! Booked for 5 nights stayed for 8. You won’t want to go home. Cheers for the hospitality Ian + Fam!

Everything. Spacious rooms, AC and a really nice pool. Free wifi. Also hosted by an amazing family!

Nothing

The rooms, the wifi and the swiming pool.

This is the perfect place to stay close to Scar Reef. Ian is hands down one of the best hosts I've had in a while. He knows everything about the surf and anything else. Also, the rooms are super clean and the pool is perfect to chill and cool down!

A lamp with a warm light in the room would make it perfect!

Great place to stay and friendly staff

Nothing to complain

Excellent, fast Star Link internet. Walking distance to Scar Reef, scored some incredible waves. Owners are absolute legends - Thanks for the hospitality, will recommend to friends yeeeww

Super nice people and I would have liked to stay longer , but they were fully booked.

Very lovely, friendly family who runs this homestay. Spacious rooms, clean, simple but practical, with some thoughtful decorations. Family room with a double bed and a single bed, was nice for our little family to spread out in. The family owned cafe is a 2-minute walk from the homestay. Breaky at this gorgeous cafe is yummy (pancakes or fruit salad + granola, or jaffle, etc). Having dinner also included in the fee is a jewel in the crown of this lovely family business. Dinner menu changes daily; we had rice, butter chicken, veggie soup, tempeh. Terima kasih Bu Lily!

A great place for traveling surfers , a true family homestay offering breakfast and dinner included . The pool is nice and cool and the beach is as beautiful as they come. This is our 2nd time here and it won't be our last ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nothing to dislike here

Great place. The owners are wonderful people. So friendly and helpful

Great host, good facilities fun wave. Recommended.

Best Homestay in town. Ian was super helpful and helped me with literally everything. My bike broke down once as well so he helped me with that also. Super nice town with lovely people. The food they cook at the homestay, is the best food I’ve tasted in Indonesia so far!

Nothing.

clean room, relaxing... found a calm beach nearby, clean & clear water (not every morning).....

inconvenient to order breakfast, nobody there..

Value for money Quiet

None

Great people and great place ! I can only recommend Scar Reef Homestay

The family that runs this homestay is incredible and so inviting. You’ll fall in love with the place and never want to leave
