Les Rizieres Lombok - Tetebatu

Everything about this place was perfect. Thomas & Katie are very helpful, and their staff are so friendly. Vandini was always happy and chatty, and Yen took us on a very interesting and educational tour of the area. It felt homely and comfortable, as tho we were with friends. And we loved the dogs....Lulu and Mini

Nestled at the foot of Mount Rinjani, in a beautiful setting of rice fields (rizières in French), this boutique hotel was a great respite after a long day travelling to Lombok. We arrived late, but the two French owners were there to greet us and show us to our mezzanine room. The room was well accommodated with all necessities and a great bed. As we come during Ramadan time, call to prayer can definitely be heard late night and early morning. We organised a craft tour through the hotel, and that was an interesting mix of fresh market, weaving, Pottery, and bamboo weaving. The breakfast is best taken on the first floor above the restaurant area, with a wonderful view of the rice fields and Mount Rinjani. You can also organize a trek to climb the Mount, but it is no easy trek, you are warned!

Very welcoming owners and staff despite our late arriving flight, clean and comfortable room and breakfast view right over the rice fields. We organised handicraft tour and onward transport via the hotel. Would have been a great place to hang out more than one night and see more of the local area.

Great stay in this home stay ! Owner are very dedicated , friendly . Location amongst the rice paddies and coconut tree is wonderful ! Nice walk to jungle and local villages is definitely a must … Room is spacious and the bathroom as well ( very clean) Good menu is limited but very tasty ! Would highly recommend

Our stay at Les Riziéres exceeded all our expectations. We were first met with a welcome drink and really friendly staff. Thomas (the owner) used a lot of time to make our stay as optimal as possible. He even helped us with arranging our next stop. Tips: Do the rice fields guide tour with Mussi/Mosi (Thomas arranges this). Take your breakfasts up to the second floor of the restaurant and enjoy the view. Try their restaurant for dinner, the chef is great. We loved our stay here!

First to say that the staff in the hotel is very friendly and helpful, service is really good 👍 But... We had the family superior room on the ground floor, the room was full of moisture with very bad smell all the time. Room is poorly made with very tiny walls made of knauf boards (which are full of moisture). I lost my balance and put my hand on the wall to avoid falling down which made a hole in the wall. They charged us for that (and I am OK with paying damage done), but there would be no damage if the walls were properly made and not full of moisture. I just leaned on the wall to prevent falling down and that made a hole in the wall. Everything else was fine, especially the staff working there, but this made our stay very unpleasant.

We stayed in this accommodation for a total of 4 days. The overall experience is below all our expectations and below average. The service and staff are the only thing that did not disappoint us. We were accommodated in a "superior room" with a view of the garden. The room is spacious and has enough light. A big disadvantage is the constant humidity in the room that comes from the walls. The walls are covered with plasterboards that are so thin that when you lean against the wall a little, the board breaks. Unfortunately, plasterboards on the walls do not have any substructure and reinforcement, so they crack easily. We had that accident and had to pay for the damage, even though the wall is bad in itself. The towels also had a strong smell of moisture and a very strong sour smell, which is not the least bit pleasant when you wipe your face and body. The same thing was present when I asked for the towels to be replaced. The bathroom has an open part, so we had several encounters with animals that end up there quite by chance; frogs, lizards, grasshoppers, ants. It is certainly not pleasant when a 30 cm lizard flies into your bathroom while you are taking a shower. The food was below my expectations. Be aware that the breakfast is quite meager and the portions are small. Tetebat has more than enough accommodation, so I would recommend you to choose another one and you will certainly get the conditions for a better experience.

We spent the night at les Rizières on our way back from Mount Rinjani’s trek and it was a great experience! The room was very nice with a super comfortable bed and a good pressure hot shower (much needed after the trek!) Diner was yummy, staff were very nice and accommodating and they helped arrange our transfer back to Lombok airport. Totally recommended place!
