    The beautiful staff at Hawes Nest took such good care of us - they made my husband’s birthday so special. Felt like we were staying with family

    We have no complaints.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Hawk’s nest. Manager Liyah did everything to make us feel comfortable and welcome. She is super kind and helpful. The entire staff was friendly. The chef even learned me to cook nasi goreng. Thanks to her I can make my favourite meal with rice. We highly recommend this hotel. It is also a childfriendly place. Very beautiful sea view from our room and restaurant. The hotel has it’s own private beach so our kids could swim and play in the sea just in front of us. We also enjoyed the snorkling tours provided by The Hawk’s nest. And the full day tour with driver Ivan was wonderful. The manager Liyah arranged this trip with driver Ivan for us. Ivan is very kind and funny. He was an excellent guide and driver.

    The staff was super helpful and went out of their way to make or stay a memorable experience. Our room was huge and clean. The little island in front of the hotel offers great snorkeling opportunities during high tide. The views are stunning.

    The location is a bit remote, which is also a plus at the same time

    I had a very relaxed stay here, the rooms were clean, the on sight restaurant had nice food, and the facilities were great. They also have a canoe that you can use for free to paddle in the bay.

    Nothing to add.

    Beautiful location, with an excellent staff willing to help you with anything you need and serve great food. We stayed for three nights and were offered a free snorkeling trip on their boat, starting directly from the private beach. Robert and Freddy were super kind and took us to beautiful spots were we could explore the amazing sea life underwater. Whatever you need, everything is possible: we asked for a scooter to rent and immediately got a brand new one to explore the island (recommended!). When we left we needed an early boat, so they arranged a takeaway breakfast for us. Also a taxi was available whenever we needed. Driver Bayu took us everywhere we wanted, at any time. So in whole: please do yourself a favor and stay at Hawk’s Nest. Their lovely staff will take care of everything. PS: daily cleaning is on request only

    The bed had sand in it. There was no furniture to sit on the terrace. The room was large but lacked any sense of style or comfort.

    It has a nice location, with a private sandy beach.

    Cleanliness in the breakfast area is low. Security may be need to secure the location (dose not mean it is unsafe). Food may need to be the attention in term of options and taste. The access road is a bit narrow and far from the city.

    The place is quite nice to stay.

    Pretty, secluded spot with some drawbacks

    It's a 20 minute journey to other popular resorts like Freddie's and Casa Nemo, so you will need to hire a motorbike, or at the very least have a regular taxi/tuk tuk driver to explore or eat out, which does start to add up. Breakfast options are limited and in small portions but as it's included it's to be expected. Dinner was OK but also quite limited. It comes at an additional cost. Stsff don't speak much English which is a downside for international tourists, but with Google Translate we got by and they were very attentive and friendly. I'm not sure the price justifies the overall experience and standard of facilities but it depends what sort of holiday you are after. If you are quite active it is probably not the right place.

    The free snorkeling trip on the resort's own boat was great. Quiet, secluded location with wildlife. If you want to be shut off from the world for a few days and lie in a hammock watching the monkeys go about their business, this is the place to be as it is well away from the busy areas in the island. They did my laundry for a very reasonable price and folded it beautifully! Strong WiFi in the rooms, comfortable bed and a nice balcony to sit out on.

    The bungalow we stayed in was worn out and not very clean & comfortable. Walls were dirty, and cabinets & bed sheets yellowish. There are places on pulau weh where you pay the same but get a far better experience.

    Staff is nice but inexperienced. The free snorkelling trip is a nice gesture! Balcony is great for relaxing.

    Nobody on site knew more than a few english words. The staff is slow bordering on lazy. E.g. I stayed at the table in the restaurant after breakfast with my laptop, having pushed away the dishes. Nobody cleared the table. The lady having served breakfast sat three tables away concentrated on her smartphone. After an hour and hundreds of ants on the table I carried the dishes to the table in front of the kitchen. The smartphone lady did not even look up.

    Beautiful garden, lovely porch with hammock and seaview, shelves in the room (very rare in Indonesia), good pancakes. The breakfast was included although our booking did not show it.
