    Absolutely lovely place, comfy beds and warm shower, the hosts are wonderful and so kind, great breakfast and accommodating to my allergies. Very homely and helpful, they told us about all the places to visit and can sort transfers onwards from Ruteng. Great price too!

    The rooms were nice but the en suite bathrooms are due to noise reasons impractical. Also no sink in the room. Not much space in the room.

    The value for money was really good. Breakfast was very nice! But would prefer to not have the egg fried. The staff was very nice and helpful.

    The property itself is lovely, but the real highlight is the owner, an incredibly friendly and kind person who generously shared valuable insights about Ruteng and Flores. His hospitality made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommended, 100%!

    Absolutely nothing...

    Thanks so much to Ino, the owner, his wife and sister for being so warm and welcoming. Hostel is clean and tidy, beds are comfortable, sheets and blankets are spotless 👍👍. Hot water too! I love the nasi goreng prepared by Celine ❤️ (not sure if it's spelled correctly). Good coffee, tip-top motorcycle condition, and serene environment with a small little garden. I will definitely come back to see your coffee plantation ☺️. BIG Dreams, BIG Hopes 🤞🤞🤗

    The staff is lovely. They have a water refiller, free coffee and tea and a variated breakfast. This are only a few of the positives because i also enjoyed a hot shower for the first in a long time and they clean the rooms daily. Very comfortable beds and all this for such a little price, definitely recommend

    I missed a sink inside the room/toilet and there was not much space for luggage in the room, maybe a shelf could help. Diner options are limited, especially if you are vegetarian. I still loved my stay though ;)

    Such a great place to stay. Simple dorm, but you are basically part of the (really friendly) family. There is a kitchen you can use and some seating outside. Toilet and shower right in the room and a really good explanation on how to use the shower :D The breakfast included was one of the best I had in Indonesia...

    I don’t suggest the tour with motorbike with « guide ». Guide did not speak a word of English, did not even say hi. Was more of a driver than a guide. Paid 400K just to be driven around and they told me the guide spoke a bit of english.

    Very clean, confortable bed and pillow. They can arrange for transport and tours Would of wished more confortable sitting space outside of room and locker for valuables.
