I have visited Lombok for the past decade once or twice each year.
I find the local people very fine folk, friendly and always helpful.
I don't think you need worry about personal safety, just use the usual commonsense stuff that applies to all travel. It's a blissful, quiet, beautiful, cheap holiday. Not to be missed. Enjoy.
