Mala Garden Resort

Resort is a great location, bike hire easy staff lovely - Dani - amazing liked when we were moved to a better room. Beach restaurant beautiful location - breakfast fairly limited in choice Downstairs will with pool is much better than the upstairs

Resort is tired needs work - bath towel old lots of mozzies in shower area need room spray. Upstairs villas are very tired and outdoor area not inviting - need work . No mini bar or bottled water just a big warm free standing water.

The villa was huge with very comfortable beds. The pools were very nice and quite big. The breakfast was a la carte, we tried all the options and they were enough and yummy. The staff was very kind, always smiling and positive attitude. It was worth every cent.

We enjoyed the pool, water cooler, staff, location

Things are a little tired or in disrepair eg deck chairs. The breakfast, food and cocktails were pretty average.

Few rooms, quiet

The beach could be a little bit more cleaner and improve the quality of the bikes

I would recommend this hotel. The Staff was great the front desk people and the people from the restaurant at the beach, always attentive and with a big smile to give that we appreciated. We needed the breakfast one of the days earlier to take away and they happily helped with not problem. The location and the hotel in general are very nice, quite place in the island and near to the sunset spots

The first night the bed sheets were not proper cleaned, the pillows didn’t smell well, we advised next day and they changed it and all was fine. The third day they didnt make the room, it was not bad but it would have been good to know that we needed to advise abt the need of the cleaning

Very friendly and welcoming stuff. Cozy room and great location.

Super friendly staff. Really welcoming and warm with their hospitality. Location was amazing on beach front. Good sized pool. Private.

Air conditioning in one room broken (wouldn’t switch off or change temperature… was freezing!). Both beds were dirty and looked like bedding hadn’t been changed since last guest. Pool water was weird and felt kinda sea water. Bedroom and bathroom was kind of mouldy and looked old/not cleaned often, looked quite neglected.

Location large roomupstairs,greT pool ,breakfast on beach

We had rain rain rain ,water leaked into room ,due to storm and rain no internet

Its right on the beach and you can see the sunset from the villa. Friendly staff, nice place!

Needs alot of maintenance, one of the room was leaking when we get there and the AC didn’t really work but at the end they got it fixed. The rooms upstairs have access to see our private pool and from the street as well so it didn’t really feel like a private pool but it was okay!

Nice beach with free cabana. Tasty breakfast served on beach. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Good area

Run down dangerous deck i hurt my foot on dodgy decking

Own private pool, very friendly and helpful staff. Great location on the west side of the island so you get great sunsets and is away from the busy night bars on the east of the island. Open air cinema at next hotel which was great that anyone can enjoy.

Not hotels fault but because the lounge/dinning area is not closed off from the outside it is prone to mosquitoes. Make sure you have bug spray.

I would definitely advise to anyone to stay here: green and cosy territory, excellent swimming pool, big room with everything you need, convenient terrace to spend time if the weather is not so good, convenient location-in the centre of this side of the island. Two minutes walk to the shops, parties, open air cinema etc. The best place to see sunset. We were impressed by friendly and helpful team, Anggun, Ali and others , we get to know from them much about life in Indonesia and here on Gili. We’re really grateful to Dori for all his attitude, all his stories and significant assistance in what we need!

•bed is very nice and big•AC works very well •staff is very nice

•rainwater runs through the door•WiFi doesn’t work at all•pool water is very salty •shower water feels also salty

Staff is super friendly, room is huge and clean, plus bonus the open air toilet. Breakfast is delicious and it’s served on the beach. I heard other tourists getting annoyed for not having orange juice however this tropical island with no orange trees, stick with fresh local products which are just perfect. I had dinner twice at the Mala and it was very good, fish is super tasty as I expected. Special mention to the receptionist Dennis and the beach bar waiter Lee always with a smile and happy to help.

Needs a bit of exterior maintainence but not a must for me as I prioritise cleanliness.

Beautiful rooms, super friendly staff and management. Fantastic breakfast and a fantastic restaurant on the beach.

Extremely nice staff, always helpful and proactive.

Great property, beautiful at the sunset beach part of the island.

Location was amazing - sunset side- quiet

We had bed bugs in our room and I got eaten alive on the first night. Sprayed fly spray everywhere the next night and it wasn’t as bad…

Accommodating staff, treating us well and were fun to chat with. Our booking came with breakfast included. Ate on the beach in the mornings with fast service. Breakfast was average. No complaints. Note - the beach bean bag chairs are free to use if you stay here. No need to buy drinks to use them. At sunset is when the mala garden bar makes its money so they will make sure you buy a drink or just tell them you are staying there. Rooms have a large jug of water in them. Wonderful touch!

The lobby area fountain pools could use a cleaning. The resort needs a little maintenance. But overall was clean.

We moved to a villa (beachfront villa) from the more basic room for our final night here. Good view of the beach and sunsets. Family or group of 4 people (two pairs) would be nice as the two bedrooms are private from one another. The basic room was better. The staff were great. Very nice and accommodating. Note the beach area bean bag chairs are free to use if you stay here. No need to buy a drink to stay and use.

The living room had no AC unit. Sonic you wanted to watch tv you would be sweating. Villa patio had a few items of garbage (beer bottle cap). Both bathrooms in the villa had bad shower drainage. Water would come up over the edge of the show rock basin and into the sink area / walking area. The music from other resorts would somehow find its way into the bedrooms. Like through the thatched room. It sorta sounded like there was a little speaker in the ceiling. Music from other resorts would stop at 10pm.
