Good location, rooms were nice and small. Pretty sure I got bitten by bed bugs though, which is to be expected when staying on an island like this. But just be aware!

water in bathroom would run out quickly, some sort of bed bug infestation and when addressed it to front desk they did not really care. Great vibes though!

Vibe Analysis
M Box Gili Trawangan is a lively hostel with frequent evening activities, games, and free dinner. The staff is a major part of the experience and keeps the place welcoming and involved, which suits solo travelers who want an easy social setup. The hostel is close to the main beach strip on the sunrise side and within easy reach of the island. There is a pool and a common area, and some rooms have air conditioning and a comfortable feel. The place is not fully consistent on upkeep. Some rooms and bathrooms are clean, but others have worn fixtures, weak water pressure, missing curtains, or other maintenance issues, so the condition can vary by room.
Signals to check
- It can be noisy and strongly geared toward drinking.
- Bathroom upkeep can be uneven, with rust, leaks, or weak showers.
- Some rooms do not have bed curtains.
- Free dinner may be modest.
