Mount Rinjani Guest House

Sam and his wife Tina are very friendly and welcoming. The place is a bit far from the city center but so close to Rinjani gate. With a scooter everything works very good. I had one of the best breakfast mango pancake, room is big and the hot shower works very efficiently. Complementary drinkable water is also provided. For a couple of days is a perfect location.

Mount Rinjani Guest House is a great option if you are looking for a budget stay in Sembalun. Sam is very nice and helpful, as well as the rest of the staff. They helped me find hiking equipment and cooked breakfast for me out of hours. The bed is big and the room is spacious. Hot water works really well, and the shower has good pressure. A couple things to note: when I was there there was no WiFi (they say they are working on it, but for now there isn’t). Also the bathrooms do not have a sink, which is a bit inconvenient for things like brushing teeth. Overall I would recommend this property—you get what you pay for!

Sam, who was luckily there when I arrived, helped me with a lot of information about the rinjani trek. We spend also the evening after hiking together and it was a really nice time. Totally recommend and a great thanks to Sam!

The house is perfect and clean. Sam is such a great human!

Truely can’t recommend this place enough. Not only is this homestay great (clean, comfy bed, hot shower) but Sam and Tina were the most incredible hosts we’ve ever met. They went above and beyond in every way possible and became like family. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks so much.
