About

VOTED THE MOST POPULAR HOSTEL ON GILI TRAWANGAN BY HOSTELWORLD FOR 2025 AND 2026!

Sick of those party hostels pouring liquor down your throat? Do you prefer an affordable but high-quality cocktail over a beer bong? Is comfort something you look for in a hostel? Then Tipsea Turtle is for you! We have events on every evening and take our guests out to the most popular bar on the island to party, but we give points for socializing and getting to know exciting new people rather than just chugging beers!

Join us for free family dinner (with the purchase of a cocktail) 3 days per week. Plus, enjoy 2 x 120k cocktails during happy hour 6PM - 9PM every day!

***We are not currently offering yoga***

We offer a delicious free breakfast to start your day right and are perfectly located in the main area of Gili T making it easy to explore by foot or bicycle.

Our dorm rooms are only three beds, so book it with your friends or come solo, but you'll definitely get to know your roommates. Of course, we have all-female dorms too.

We organise Tipsea snorkel trips to explore the stunning underwater world and you can join us on a Luxe Sunset Cruise experience every MONDAY and epic boat party around the Gili's EVERY WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY.

All our rooms have AC with access to shared bathrooms that have hot water, so you'll always be comfortable whether you're in a private, double, or dorm room.

We try to be as eco-friendly as possible, using solar energy for hot water, composting organic waste for our garden, and offering limitless water refills for free.

We can arrange hassle-free transport from the Gilis to Lombok & Bali.

We had the most wonderful stay at Tipsea turtle. We were staying for 8 days and we loved it. The staff is so sweet and very helpful and all the volunteers at the hostel are amazing! There is a lot of activities to do at the hostel and they arrange a lot to do. The rooms are very nice and clean and the free breakfast is so good. The hostel is places very good to the ferry too
