Telescope Resort Lombok

Lombok, Indonesia
$65-165/ noc

Zarezervuj si to, pokud You want a private pool and a viral sunset view over Kuta Lombok without paying luxury resort prices.

Proč to lidé milují

  • Panoramic ocean and hill views that are genuinely breathtaking
  • Private plunge pools in most villas
  • Quiet, secluded location high above the bustle of Kuta town

Rychlý přehled: A budget-friendly 'Instagram villa' that delivers on views but struggles with maintenance, construction noise, and shipping-container build quality.

Recenzoval @katrinajuliafit: I came here to unplug and wow, did this deliver. The mix of industrial design and raw nature is stunning. Spending my afternoons floating in that private pool watching the clouds roll over the ocean was exactly the reset I needed. Highly recommend for couples.

The hype

The views are world-class and the staff are sweet, but the property feels like a 'shipping container' project that's aging fast.

Reality check

Inconsistent cleanliness is the biggest gripe—guests report everything from sparkling rooms to rusty kitchen utensils, moldy bathrooms, and bugs.

  • You are an influencer or couple prioritizing sunset photos over luxury finishes
  • You can ride a scooter confidently on steep hills
  • You plan to spend most of your day exploring beaches and just need a base with a view

Čistota & Údržba

6
  • Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report daily thorough cleaning, others find dust bunnies and missed trash.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Frequent reports of 'sewage smell' from drains, mold in grout, and rusty fixtures.
  • Maintenance: Struggling. Broken ACs, peeling laminate, and loose floorboards are common complaints in recent reviews.
  • Linens & towels: Average. Towels can be worn/graying; linens are generally clean but not luxury quality.
  • Odors & scents: Drains often emit a sewer smell (common in Lombok), sometimes masked by strong cleaning chemicals.

Před rezervací

Dobré vědět

  • The hotel is dry (no alcohol sold), but they may allow you to bring your own—check ahead.
  • There is no grab/go-jek service for food delivery up the hill; you rely on the on-site restaurant or your own transport.
  • WiFi is generally fast (Starlink is becoming common in the area), but power outages can happen.

Co si sbalit

  • Earplugs (for construction noise)
  • Mosquito repellent (hilltop location = bugs)
  • International driver's license (for scooter rental)

Génius pokojů – kopíruj a vkládej

“I am booking specifically for the view and quiet. Please assign a unit as FAR as possible from the current construction site. I would prefer a unit with a functioning, heated jacuzzi if available, and high on the hill for maximum privacy.”

Časté otázky a skryté tipy

Vše, co opravdu chcete vědět, než si zarezervujete.

Is the access road really that bad?

Yes. It is steep, unpaved in sections, and gravelly. Beginners on scooters often struggle or crash. A car with high clearance is recommended if you aren't a confident rider.

Is breakfast included?

Usually no. It is available à la carte (approx. 75k-100k IDR) and is described as 'one plate' style rather than a buffet.

Are the private pools heated?

No. They are plunge pools. The 'jacuzzis' are also frequently reported as unheated, essentially acting as small cold pools.

Is it walkable to Kuta town?

No. It is a 4km hike down a steep hill on a dark road. You absolutely need transport.

Do they serve alcohol?

Reports are mixed; some recent reviews say no alcohol is sold on-site (halal kitchen), while others mention beer in the fridge. Assume it's dry and bring your own wine if you want a sunset drink.

Is there a gym?

No. There is no fitness center on-site, despite what some third-party booking sites might auto-generate.

Insider tipy

  • ✨

    Ask for a 'floating breakfast' tray for your pool—it's a paid add-on but makes for the classic Bali/Lombok photo.

  • ✨

    The on-site restaurant 'Moon' has a happy hour, but verify if it includes cocktails or just mocktails.

  • ✨

    Rent your scooter from the hotel to avoid 'scam' charges from roadside vendors, even if it costs slightly more.

5 věcí, které byste měli vědět, než se vydáte

  • 💡The 'villas' are essentially modified shipping containers—stylish, but sound insulation is poor.

  • 💡Water pressure can be temperamental, sometimes trickling to a halt during peak shower times.

  • 💡The 'private' pools often lack total privacy; neighbors or staff walking by can sometimes see in.

  • 💡There are resident cats that will try to enter your room (a plus for some, a negative for allergic guests).

  • 💡The kitchenettes often lack basic tools like knives or towels, making actual cooking difficult.
