The church in front of the house starts with and early pray at 5am till 5.30am. It Is very loud and you can't really avoid to wake up. Bring some ear plugs

Host Is great! Very kind and helpful with useful tips! Hot shower and good breakfast!

Every morning at 5 am the church service is broadcast with speakers …..

It’s a traditional Sumba house, well designed. And home-baked bread! Amazing!

The location is good for those who are surfing at Watu Bela beach (patiala bawa) at the south of west Sumba as not many accommodation nearby. The room is big enough to accommodate 2-3 guests actually with air condition. The breakfast is freshly cooked either bread + eggs or rice ++.

It was cold in the evening and mornings and no blankets available.. But actually the worst thing is the church across the street which is going to wake you up every morning at 5am with super loud music and prayers for 40 min. After that yiu don’t feel like sleeping anymore. As she is not informing the guest I will do it through here.

The place is ok. The host is nice and she tries to keep it clean and tidy. Breakfast was good.

As other places in Sumba there’s not really any good wifi, but after we ran out of data she was kind enough to make a hotspot. You can order food in the house but otherwise you’ll need a scooter to go to the one restaurant near by.

Nailya was a perfect host!! She was kind and helpful, we had some great talks with her, she gave us recommendations for places to go to. And the food she makes is delicious!! She helped us rent a scooter as well and it’s very close to the beautiful Pantai Watu Bella Beach. This was definitely the best homestay we have tried as it couldn’t be more authentic and we felt a bit like a part of the family. We loved it.

Many mosquitos by night... Maybe put repellent. And just 1 plug working in the room. But it's details.

Nayla's food was very good.she cooks for you when you ask. Girls are nice and baby naomy sooo cute. The place is well decorated. The location is 15 min from beaches.

hot water in shower didn't last long, no toiletries, slightly dusty, church across street was LOUD at 5 AM every day, no wifi (but there is a Telkomsel signal only),

Sumba style house and nice staff, closer to beach than Waikabubak is... cheaper than all places in Kerewe. They did have basic lunch and dinner available too for fair price. Quiet at night, there was a signal for data, but no wifi.

Nothing to complain about.

It felt like being at home at Nailya’s place. My bedroom was really cozy and spacious and the food was delicious. The house has a really good location if you want to visit some nice beaches; traditional villages and waterfalls. The staff was also really friendly.

The homestay is in a gorgeous Marapu traditional house. Our host, Naila, is delightful and knowledgeable. The food is reasonably priced, healthy and oh so delicious!

Stayed in July 2024

There is a noisy church nearby which can be a bit annoying in the morning

The room was clean and comfortable. The food was really great, especially the home made bread in the mornings. Nailya (the owner) is very knowledgeable about the island and had lots of great ideas for things to do. We rented a motorbike from them and used it to explore the area.

This is a special place. Thank you for a wonderful stay we will not forget. A true Homestay experience. Naila and her staff are amazing and will do everything to make you feel comfortable in her home. See you again soon!

Great location, excellent value for money, with a family-like atmosphere and valuable tips! We initially booked for only one night but ended up extending our stay by 2 nights. If the room hadn't been already booked, we probably would have stayed longer. It's important to note that there aren't many (affordable) accommodations on Sumba, and the island is still quite "rudimentary" in general. However, Lambo Homestay is a fantastic option if you want to visit the beautiful beaches in the south. It's only about a 15-minute scooter ride away, and they also provide great recommendations, such as the best sunset spots and places for horseback riding. The room is stylishly decorated, the beds are comfortable, and the AC is wonderfully quiet. Yes, you can hear the morning prayers at 5 am, but compromises have to be made on this island. The food is delicious and highly recommended! Additionally, I must mention that one of us had a high fever one evening, and we were genuinely cared for and supported in an incredibly warm and compassionate manner!

I choose this place because it was displayed as somewhere where I could rent a scooter. the thing is, renting a scooter happened by chance. they have no rentals, they just call neighbours to check what’s available. if you don’t have certainty it should be outlined. room was alright, net provided, but windows were not entirely close, that meant I had to avoid switching on the light in dark times (at 6 pm) to avoid to get infested by mosquitoes, that was uncomfortable.. as mentioned by the structure, one shared bathroom for the all house, poor maintenance with water leaking everywhere, scarce hygienic condition. to be honest, I would not recommend this, I payed 33 euros per night, I could have had a decent room anywhere in Europe with a private bathroom for the same price. I found better places (in terms of value for money elsewhere in sumba). on top, a church right in front of our house would play music very out loud for 40 minutes every morning.

the owner is super helpful, help me out in every possible way

A cozy homelike homestay well located, close to the beautiful Watu bella and Marosi beaches. The owner is very friendly and helpful, she knows much about the island and the locals, has amazing taste of style and cooks very nice. It was a really pleasant place to stay.
