Lombok's Hidden Gem: 91383 Green Forest Homestay (Unbelievable!)

Lombok's Hidden Gem: 91383 Green Forest Homestay (Seriously, Unbelievable!) - A Rambling Review

Okay, folks, buckle up. This review isn't going to be your typical, sterile, bullet-point-filled hotel regurgitation. We're diving headfirst into the jungle, the kind of jungle that actually feels like a jungle – because that's what 91383 Green Forest Homestay on Lombok is all about. And let me tell you, the "unbelievable" in the name? Totally earned.

First, the Vibe: It's NOT a Resort, Thank God

Forget sterile, cookie-cutter resorts. This place is… real. It's got a slightly ramshackle charm, like a well-loved, slightly faded postcard. You can feel the heart and soul of the people who built it. (And yes, they probably do have a few things they could fix – this isn't perfection; this is authentic.)

Accessibility - A Mixed Bag (Honestly)

Now, listen, accessibility is a tricky beast. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, but I'm hesitant to give a definitive "thumbs up" without a deeper investigation. Some areas seem accessible, like parts of the main building, but the lush grounds and potential for uneven pathways… well, proceed with caution and definitely contact them beforehand to confirm your specific needs. Don't expect smooth sailing for wheelchairs everywhere, but they TRY, which is more than some places.

Food and Drink: More Than Just Bland Buffet Food (Hallelujah!)

Okay, this is where things get interesting. The dining situation here is fantastic.

Restaurants & Lounges: There are multiple options, which is always a good start.
Restaurant "A la carte" : The menu is awesome, and the food is amazing!
Poolside Bliss: You can lounge at a Poolside bar with the most refreshing drinks you could imagine.
Coffee Shop: There's a really good coffee shop, perfect for morning pick-me-ups.
Buffet/Breakfast: I skipped the buffet for a few, but the Asian breakfast was outstanding, genuinely delicious. And yes, they offer Western breakfast too, for those who like their eggs and bacon.
Happy Hour: YES! Essential. They get it. (Drinks tasted even better after a long day in the sun.)
Room Service: They even offered Room service [24-hour], because that makes life easier.
Vegetarian friendly: They have a Vegetarian restaurant, so vegetarians will be happy.

I'm going to single out the Asian cuisine in restaurant. Picture this: I ordered a nasi goreng, expecting the usual tourist fare. Instead, I got a flavor explosion. Fragrant rice, perfectly cooked vegetables, a hint of spice… honestly, it was one of the best meals I had on the whole trip. I’m still dreaming of that nasi goreng.

Things to Do, Ways to Relax (Or Just Hide Away)

This place is a haven for relaxation, but also has a few opportunities for some exciting things to do.

The Pool with a View: Probably the best part! The Swimming pool [outdoor] is beautiful, an infinity pool that melts into the jungle. The view is what makes it. Unreal. Sitting there, sipping a cocktail, watching the sunset – pure bliss.
Massage and Spa: They actually did an absolutely excellent Massage, and it left me feeling so relaxed.
Fitness Center / Gym/Fitness: They had a Fitness center if you feel like flexing your muscles.
Sauna / Steamroom: They also had a Spa/sauna which is fantastic.
Foot Bath: They had a Foot bath.
Body scrub, Body wrap: They offered a Body scrub and a Body wrap!

Cleanliness and Safety - The Important Bits

Okay, this is critical, especially in this day and age.

Hygiene certification: They held a Hygiene certification, which felt reassuring.
Anti-viral cleaning products: I could feel that they used Anti-viral cleaning products, which is really important.
Daily disinfection in common areas: They did Daily disinfection in common areas.
Hand sanitizer: They had Hand sanitizer available.
Rooms sanitized between stays: I actually felt reassured by the fact that the Rooms sanitized between stays.
Professional-grade sanitizing services: It felt like they did Professional-grade sanitizing services.
Staff trained in safety protocol: The staff was well trained in Staff trained in safety protocol.

The Room: My Little Jungle Sanctuary

Absolutely Comfortable: The Air conditioning worked flawlessly. Also, they had Air conditioning in public area.
Perfect Rest: The Blackout curtains – absolute lifesavers for sleeping in.
Always Clean: Daily housekeeping was efficient and friendly.
Bedtime Essentials: They had Complimentary tea.
All the right things: They provided Free bottled water.
Internet Access: I was happy to have Internet access and Wi-Fi [free]

I had a room with a window that opens (a must for me, I like fresh air!), a decent Seating area, and a comfy Sofa. Oh, and the Complimentary tea was a godsend after a long day of exploring.

Services and Conveniences - They Thought of Everything (Almost)

24-Hour Help: The Front desk [24-hour] was a lifesaver when I needed help.
Helpful Extras: The Concierge was brilliant.
Storage Solutions: They have Luggage storage.
Shopping: The Convenience store made getting essentials easy.

Getting Around (Tricky, But Manageable)

Transfers: They have Airport transfer.
Parking: Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site] were very helpful.

For the Kids (And the Young at Heart)

Family/child friendly: They are quite Family/child friendly, which is great.

The Quirks (Because Every Place Has Them)

Okay, now for the fun stuff.

The Imperfection: The lack of perfection is what makes this place perfect.
The Ambience: It’s a little bit rough around the edges, and the charm comes from the very real, down to earth vibe it offers.
The Overall Experience: The best part of this hotel is how it feels real.

My Verdict: BOOK IT!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get a taste of my Lombok adventure – and trust me, it’s going to be less perfectly curated Instagram feed and more… well, this. We're talking SPOT ON 91383 Green Forest Homestay, Lombok. Sound peaceful? Oh, it can be, when the geckos aren't having a rave in the rafters. Here we go:

Lombok Lunacy: A Slightly Unhinged Travel Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival & "Oh My God, Mosquitoes!"

Noon: Arrive at Praya International Airport (LOP). The air hits you like a warm, spicy blanket. Or maybe that's just all the exhaust fumes. Either way, whoa. Taxi driver immediately tries to fleece me. "Very expensive!" he says, flashing a toothy grin. Negotiate like your life depends on it (it kinda does, in these situations). Aim for around 150,000 IDR – don't be a pushover, folks!
1:30 PM: Arrive at Green Forest Homestay. First impression: lush! Seriously, the greenery is insane. The host, bless his heart, is super friendly, though I'm pretty sure he speaks about 5 words of English, and the rest is a mix of smiles and pointing. Check in. The room… is… rustic. Let's call it that. The bed? A concrete slab disguised by a thin mattress. Pray for your back.
2:30 PM: Attempt to unpack. Immediately discover a swarm of mosquitoes has also checked in. Commence Operation Bug Defense. Armed with a pathetic travel-sized bug spray. Lose the battle. Swear profusely. Vow to buy industrial-strength repellant.
3:00 PM: Nap! (Desperately needed after the mosquito onslaught). Wake up to the sounds of chickens battling squirrels outside my window. More swearing.
5:00 PM: Wander around the homestay grounds. There's a pool! Glorious! Jump in. Realize the clarity of the water is debatable. But hey, it's wet!
6:00 PM: Dinner at the homestay's restaurant. I'm pretty sure there's only one thing on the menu, and it's Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Accept the inevitable. Actually, it's pretty damn good. Except for the mysterious, unidentified pieces of…something… in it. Eat anyway. Try to ignore the unsettling rustling in the trees above. (Probably more geckos.)
7:30 PM: Attempt to use the Wi-Fi. Discover it's slower than a sloth on tranquilizers. Give up. Embrace the digital detox. (Until I desperately need to Google "What is that rustling sound?")
8:00 PM: Bedtime. Armed with extra bug spray, earplugs, and a healthy dose of paranoia. Good night, Lombok, you glorious madhouse.

Day 2: Waterfalls, Wobbly Legs, and Warrior Pose Fail

7:00 AM: Wake up to the rooster symphony. (Okay, maybe not a symphony). Decide to embrace the early start and go for a morning walk. The air is fresh, the sun is just starting to peek through the trees… and I get lost.
8:00 AM: Breakfast at the homestay. More Nasi Goreng. Become intimately familiar with the "something" in the rice.
9:00 AM: Hire a motorbike (terrifying experience, but necessary). Head to the Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls. The ride itself is an adventure. The roads? Pothole city. My inner monologue is a constant stream of, "Oh god, oh god, I'm going to die."
10:30 AM: Arrive at Sendang Gile. Hike down. It's stunning. The waterfall is powerful, the air is cool, and I momentarily forget that my legs feel like jelly. Take a million photos. Try to look "epic" in my ridiculous hiking gear.
11:30 AM: Hike to Tiu Kelep. This one is even more spectacular. The water crashes down with such force that it feels like a massage. Get completely soaked (worth it).
1:00 PM: Lunch at a warung (small local restaurant) near the waterfalls. Eat something that may have been a chicken satay. Enjoy the post-waterfall bliss.
2:00 PM: Motorbike back to the homestay. Still alive! Success!
3:00 PM: Attempt yoga by the pool. Fail spectacularly. My warrior pose resembles a drunken flamingo. Give up and jump back in the pool.
5:00 PM: Chat with the other guests. Discover the internet is still down. Bond over shared experiences of mosquito bites and mysterious food.
6:00 PM: Dinner. More Nasi Goreng. (Embracing tradition now.)
7:00 PM: Star gazing. The night sky is unbelievable. I can actually see the Milky Way! Forget about the uncomfortable bed and the buzzing insects. Maybe this is paradise.
8:00 PM: Back to the room. Wondering if the "something" in my nasi goreng was a mosquito's ancestor. Send prayers to my intestinal system.

Day 3: The Beach That Broke Me (and Maybe a Little Bit My Heart)

7:00 AM: Breakfast: you guessed it. Nasi Goreng. I'm starting to think this is all they serve.
8:00 AM: I head to Senggigi Beach. The drive there via scooter is a testament to my patience and my ability to dodge goats.
9:00 AM: Senggigi Beach. Honestly, it's got a vibe. It's pretty, sure, but packed with the kind of people who need everyone to know they're on vacation. Think selfie sticks held at extreme angles and couples who are definitely auditioning for a magazine. A small group of women are gathered around, and I think I hear them whispering my name, and then the words "skinny jeans." Okay, I'm clearly not the target demographic.
9:30 AM: I make my way to a more secluded part of the beach; I found a spot where I can just sit and enjoy the view. Waves crash. The sun warms the skin. This is the stuff of postcard dreams. I read for a bit, I swim a bit, and I just chill. I spend a significant amount of time feeling absolutely and perfectly happy, and for a moment, I think "this, this is what it's all about."
10:45 AM: The Catastrophe. I am walking through the sand, enjoying said beach, when suddenly I feel it. A searing pain. Something stings my foot. I leap and yell and do a little dance. Another cat, I realize, is not the problem. Something bit me. Hard. I look down to find a small, red welt. No way, I think. Maybe I'm being a baby. Then the burning in my foot intensifies. I collapse to the sand, clutching my foot, and start yelling for help. I'm fairly certain I screamed "I'm going to die!" at least five times.
11:00 AM: Local woman approaches. She smiles and seems to understand my anguish. She points at the wound and says, "Sea urchin." Sea. Urchin. I was not the best swimmer, and I did not like to go anywhere near the ocean.
11:15 AM: She gathers up some seaweed, and presses it against the wound. It's a folk remedy and I'm game. The burn subsides a little, and I stop screaming for a moment. She tells me about the many dangers of Lombok's beaches.
11:30 AM: On the scooter back to the homestay, my foot throbbing. The beach paradise? Replaced with a potent mix of pain, embarrassment, and a newfound appreciation for the dangers of the sea.
1:00 PM: Back at the homestay. I clean the wound, apply antiseptic, and spend the entire afternoon nursing my now-inflamed and throbbing foot.
6:00 PM: Dinner: Nasi Goreng. I look at it, somewhat resentfully. I think, "You're the only friend I have right now, even if you are the same thing every single night."
7:00 PM: Attempt to find something to watch on my phone. Wi-fi still nonexistent. Read my book. The mosquitoes find me.
8:00 PM: Bed. Foot throbbing. This is going to be a long night. I'm starting to loathe Lombok.

Day 4 & Beyond: The Recovery, the Realizations, and the Return… or a New Adventure?

The entry for Day 4 is incomplete because I'm still in Lombok (and still recovering).

91383 Green Forest Homestay: The REAL Lowdown (Because Let's Be Honest, Blogs Lie)

Okay, Okay, Is This Place Really a Hidden Gem, or Just Another Overhyped Instagram Trap?

Alright, buckle up. This ain't your polished travel blogger's account. Yeah, Green Forest Homestay *is* a hidden gem. It *is* unbelievable. But let's be clear: it's not perfect. Forget those perfectly curated photos. Think… jungle chill meets slightly chaotic charm. The "unbelievable" part? Waking up to the sounds of a thousand cicadas, the air thick with the smell of frangipani and… well, sometimes slightly damp earth. (Because, you know, jungle.) You'll either love the raw, authentic vibe or you'll run screaming for a five-star resort. I, for one, absolutely fell head over heels. But I'm also the type who enjoys a good spider (from a safe distance, mind you).

What's the Vibe? Is it Romantic? Family-Friendly? A Solo Traveler's Paradise?

The vibe? Honestly? All of the above, with a generous helping of “anything goes.” I saw couples canoodling on hammocks (goals!), a family building a fort out of fallen leaves (adorable!), and a solo traveler like myself, happily lost in a book while listening to the jungle symphony. It really depends on *you*. If you want pristine, manicured lawns and room service at 3 AM, go somewhere else. If you crave a slower pace, genuine smiles, and the chance to disconnect from the world (seriously, the wifi is… spotty), then this is your jam. The staff are incredibly friendly, always eager to help, even when *my* attempts at Indonesian were… let's just say, enthusiastic. I mean, I tried to order eggs and accidentally asked for… a small mountain? Oops.

Let's Talk About the Rooms. Are They Actually "Unbelievable" as Advertised?

Okay, the rooms. Here’s the truth bomb: they’re rustic. Think charming, not luxurious. They are beautiful, with that perfect Indonesian style, a real art. My room? Picture this: A four-poster bed draped in mosquito netting that would make a princess jealous (practical AND pretty!). The bathroom was… well, the “shower” was a bucket and scoop situation, which, to be honest, took some getting used to after a long day. This is not a complaint, this is a truth. Also, the hot water was… temperamental. But being outside, the view was more than enough. But honestly, the imperfections were part of the charm. I kept thinking *“I’m in a jungle, dammit!”* and everything felt authentic. Also, the view from my tiny porch? Unbelievable. Seriously, just… breathe. (And maybe pack a good book and some bug spray.)

The Food! What About the FOOD?! Is it as Delicious as the Pictures Make it Seem?

The food... Ah, the food! Okay, the pictures? They don't lie. The breakfast was fruit platters overflowing with tropical goodness. I mean, mangoes so ripe they practically dripped sunshine. And the nasi goreng (fried rice)? Forget about it. I dreamed about it. In fact, I’m pretty sure I gained five pounds just THINKING about the nasi goreng. It was the perfect Indonesian cuisine. The dining area itself is open-air, which means you're eating while surrounded by lush greenery and maybe, just maybe, a friendly gecko or two. (They’re harmless, mostly. I think.) Pro tip: Try the fresh fruit juices. Seriously. Get them all. And if they offer you the local coffee, say yes. Trust me, you'll need the caffeine for all the exploring.

How Do You Get to Green Forest Homestay? And Ummmm… Is it Difficult?

Okay, this is where the "hidden" part comes in. It's not *super* difficult, but it's not like rolling up to a hotel lobby. You'll likely fly into Lombok International Airport (LOP). From there, you can arrange a driver (highly recommended!) and this is where the adventure begins, or you can get a taxi. The road… let's just say it's an experience. Expect winding paths, some bumpy sections (hold on tight!), and breathtaking scenery. (Seriously. The scenery is worth the ride alone.) The anticipation builds as you get closer. You'll pass through villages with locals shouting "hello!" You'll likely be dropped off at the end of the main road and walk a little bit, which isn't so bad. Then, you'll feel like you're truly getting away. The destination is worth it, but be *prepared*.

What's the Best Thing About Green Forest Homestay? The Real Best Thing?

Okay, this is where I get all gooey and sentimental. The best thing? The feeling. The pure, unadulterated *feeling* of being completely present. Of disconnecting from the constant noise of the modern world and connecting with nature, with yourself, and with a different way of life. It’s the sound of the rain on the roof, the smell of the earth after a tropical downpour, that view, the staff who felt like family. I'll tell you what: after a particularly challenging year, Green Forest Homestay was a sanctuary. A place to breathe. A place to re-center. A place to… well, it sounds cliché, but it was truly transformative. I left a piece of my heart there, honestly. Now *that* is unbelievable. A whole memory of it is a good reason enough to revisit.

Is There Anything REALLY Bad? Be Brutally Honest.

Alright, alright. Let's get real. There were a few minor annoyances. The wifi? Spotty at best. Accept that. The bugs? They're there. Embrace it! But the only actual problem, was actually something I can never stop thinking about. One of the most traumatizing things that happened to me was, I lost my favorite pair of sunglasses. They were the perfect pair. I'd gotten them in Bali and they had seen me through so much. I'd left them on the porch and somebody had taken them. I was devastated, I still think about it. I asked around but I never found them. It's still an open wound. I miss those sunglasses. Other than that, it was a fairly easy journey.

Would You Go Back? And Should I Go?

Would I go back? In a heartbeat. I'm already planning my return. Should *you* go? If you're the kind of traveler who appreciates authenticity over luxury, adventure over comfort, and experiences over perfection, then YES. Absolutely, unequivocally YES. Just pack your bug sprayYour Stay Hub
