I have been to both islands and I know majority would prefer Bali and I actually prefer Lombok more. Lombok is quieter, serene and beautiful. I did enjoy Bali though.

Great insightful comparison. I appreciate that you keep your videos short and concise.

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

Intelligent presentation and comparison points❤

[@PikiYourDream]

Tough decision!
This time we chose Lombok, and we are happy here.
Great video! 🙏

Nicely done video. I have been to both islands and I think you describe the differences and the choices perfectly. I prefer Lombok and the Gilis for exactly the reasons you mentioned - cheaper, more authentic, less crowded. But I can see why folks would and do make Bali their holiday destination too. Don't sell the culture on Lombok short, however. It may not be as vivid as Bali, but it is still charming. Personally, I love hearing the call to prayer, for example. Cheers.

hello, I'm from Lombok, thank you for the explanation about the island of Lombok. We are happy if you like our island. Please always visit us, thank you. But I don't understand your language.😅😅😊😊

[@theso-calledtraveller]

Nice!

Thnx for the insight of Lombok. Never been there.. I agree about the traffic in Bali but it's save to drive as long as you go with the rest. Now it's forbidden for what I know to hire a scooter there.
Of path? Why not going to Sulawesi? Having a beach for your own. Even diving is more colorful there... but ofcourse that's not the title of your video

[@vs-yy5cx]

thought we might get some wallce line difference and fav based on that.

[@katiirabbi]

Excellent video and super useful information. My only question is.... As someone who doesn't ride a scooter, is private driver my only option to get around lombok?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

You could join an organized tour group

[@thephoenix3155]

I would prefer Lombok because it's quieter overall! Mount Rinjani is a place I really want to visit!

[@zainulsukiman3503]

Welcome to lombok ❤

[@semangka4]

How about basic utilities such as electricity (power) and clean water, safety, and health facilities in Lombok?

[@ansumanrath1646]

Thank you . Can you suggest good hotels in Lombok

[@HID_LUFFY]

Believe me, Lombok and Bali are our brothers and sisters with Bali. Bali and Lombok I love you ❤😊

[@briandavids6518]

I'm a pensioner. Is Bali more for the younger crowd than pensioners

[@lisamsch2982]

What’s the name of the area that you mention at 3:59 ?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Keramas 😊

[@ANonyMouse627]

[@arista1349]
