    Unfortunately, the road was not easily passable, so we had to walk. But this will not be a problem in the future, because they were building a new road during our stay.

    The authenticity of a real indonesian homestay. A lovely family and a good place where to breath and take rest. Good brekfast in a right size.

    Not so central and the road to reach it is not so well paved but still reachable via scooter.

    Very clean. The only downside was the toilet getting flooded everytime you would take a shower but that’s a minor problem. Spacious dormitory room. Good solution if you have to stay in LB for few nights.

    Like others have mentioned, road up to the homestay is very rough terrain. I managed it on a moped with my partner on the back, but it’s not the easiest!

    For the price the place is great- basic amenities and a comfy bed with working bathroom. Breakfast was also really nice. The family who own the place are super friendly and helpful, and the family dogs are also so cute and friendly! Location but further from town (8 mins on moped) but is quiet and calm!

    Only one side of bed has powerport and bedside table.

    It was walkable distance from airport. Interesting walk during the night, most part in gravel. We slept in an extension to house, up to a staircase. Was interesting and room used very efficiently to set a little bathroom with hot shower in. Our plane delayed for hours, Tarzan welcomed us and gave some tips how to get to local eating places. The host made lovely breakfast in their outdoor sitting area. It is visible, that they have big plans for improvement and extension of the accommodation.

    Road to get there is pretty bumpy so not the easiest on a bike but once you’re there it’s nice!

    Walking distance from the airport (took us 10 mins). Very nice room - the bed was huge!! Facilities all working well, staff are very friendly and the included breakfast was yummy! Nice affordable Homestay was perfect after our Komodo tour. Thank you!

    Unfortunately there were ongoing construction which was pretty loud. And for about an hour my WiFi and water stopped working but it didn’t affect me very much.

    The room was very nice and clean. The staff was nice as well. I could by water and beer at the place and the breakfast was okay. I liked that it was a bit more in the jungle and it was no more than 10 minutes to walk to the airport.

    Really a good place to stay there for the komodo dragon trip. It's closed to the airport. You can just walk (backpacking) from airport to the accommodation. May be 800 m till 1km way. From airport it goes up, over a small hill and on the back down. That's why you don't hear the airplanes ... To the port and into the village you have to walk a little bit. Included breakfast is OK.the hosts are really friendly and will help whenever possible. Shower is cold. Currently they extend the hotel, that's why may be there is a little bit noise from the construction works. But it's during the day,when you are away ...

    The only downside was the cold shower, but honestly after a few seconds you get used to it and don’t notice it anymore, so it’s not that bad.

    It was really clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The hosts were so nice and helpful. The fact that it included breakfast made it even better.

    Impossible to stay there without a motorbike. Nothing around. The "road" is very bad. The stairs down to the room was a travel on it's own 😁. Very high steps, difficult with big luggage. You have to realize it's a homestay.

    The people are really nice and helpful. Aircon was good. Good stay for 1 night. It's a really good place for younger people, not so good for the older one 🥺 (like me). You have to realize it's a homestay.

    the room was a bit cramped with the beds too close together. I found the bathrooms to be quite gross even though they were cleaned daily. I think they need to be repainted and new sinks.

    This place was nice because it was close to the airport and the owners were very friendly.

    The road from the airport is very very hilly, we walked from there to the home stay with our heavy backpacks and really struggled. You can get a bike to get there but the road is in a very bad state, unfortunately not the fault of the owner who’s just waiting for the government to redo it. The bathroom also had a strong smell all along coming from the toilet and the sink, but you could escape it from the room if you shut the door.

    Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast deck provided a lovely view on the hills of Labuan Bajo. The owner is extremely kind and welcoming. We ended up staying 3 nights here as it was the best value for the island.

    The road to get there is an absolute mission. I tried riding my scooter there and had to abandon it and walk the rest of the way. I can ride a scooter, but am not crazy confident for context.

    Staff were friendly, beds were comfy. Breakfast was delicious.
