I stayed at the following losmen in Lombok, last year.
Lina Hotel, Senggigi, Lombok - Rp 75,000 air con without breakfast
Aldi Homestay, Gilli Trawangan - Rp 80,000 air con without breakfast
Segare Anak Cottages, Kuta Lombok - Rp 40,000 no air con but with breakfast
Herta Yoga Hotel, Mataram, Lombok - Rp 85,000 air con with breakfast
All the restaurants I tried in Lombok were good, except Tir Na Nog (Young Ireland) on Gilli Trawangan which serves a terrible Irish stew.
As Lombok is a muslim island, you will rarely see pork. Lombok cuisine seems to involve lots of chilli, coconut and kangkung (water spinach).
