Bukit Senaru Homestay Lodge

Bukit Senaru Homestay Lodge is a small, family-run guesthouse on Jalan Pariwisata in Senaru. Rooms are basic but clean, with a bed, fan and private bathroom, and open onto a quiet garden. There is no air conditioning, but at this altitude it is rarely needed.

The reason it scores 4.9 on Google is the host and his team, who go out of their way for guests: booking Rinjani treks at short notice, organising express laundry and equipment rental, offering tips on local cafés and taking guests by scooter to a sunset viewpoint. Banana pancakes at breakfast get frequent mentions. They can also arrange a hike up Bukit Pergasingan or a walk through the village rice fields.

The Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls and several warungs are within walking distance. It is a good base for a night before and after a trek, and it is bookable on Booking.com or directly by phone.
