    We loved the beautiful gardens and fabulous pool - the best we’ve seen in Dili. The room was very spacious and comfortable but a few things didn’t work. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    It's always a challenge avoiding gastro! probably needed a supply of daily bottled water as I wasn't confident that the water cooler water was "safe" for us...and mozzies can be worrisome. Hotel could offer loans of adaptors and mozzie zappers with pyrethrum mats or liquid... front porch could use an inexpensive fan and switch above the front door....transport to cbd and to Timor Plaza difficult to access.

    lovely staff, breakfast straightforward, great coffee, room large and well airconditioned, laundry beautifully cared for, handsome euro style floors and furniture. The hotel did a good job of calling taxis but it was a challenge to return home at night...

    Instructions for foreignors are needed... to avoid damage to sewerage. DON'T FLUSH PAPER DOWN THE TOILET. Washing facility provided and paper towel used for drying needs to go in bin provided. I've started a 'library' of 1 or 2 novels. There's nowhere accessible to buy Englush reading materials (obviously not Malinamoc's job!) TV and wifi reception poor. Coffee sachets undrinkable Nearby microlet 11 will take you up to the main drag but coming back you have to walk down from the roundabout. Interesting going through local retail and markets.

    Aircon available in bedrooms and sitting room. Kitchens have stove, fridge, some cutlery and utensils, some have microwave. I also had a small iron and board. Great laundry service. Plenty of free filtered water. Coffee sachets were undrinkable. I'm going back and hope they won't be there! No tea bags or milk provided. Shops are a reasonable walk away. You can buy supermarket and many variety items. Nothing traditionally Timorese though. Yomi has $20 very good one hour massages, other luxuries eg. Facials, Mani pedis all cheap. Pool was fabulous. STAFF ARE FANTASTIC!!!! Rolls and Bowls nearby provides food, drinks and sometimes live music. Wonderful and well kept extensive greenery. Large apartments can be long stay accommodation. And did I mention the staff are FANTASTIC

    Internet/WiFi at the hotel and throughout Timor is almost non-essential. If your travel relies on connectivity, be forewarned.

    Staff were excellent 🙏🏻. Beautiful property. Pool was nice.

    The driver was unfriendly. The parking space is a mess.

    It was close to the airport and we got picked up from the hotel. They also gave us a ride to the city, which is a bit further away. The staff was very helpful with payment methods

    Wifi was weak and sporadic. Rooms are outdated. Shower needs fixing. Breakfast was continental but okay with me.

    Very nice property. Excellent air conditioning and a very quiet room. Enjoyed the restaurant on site. Free airport transfers were a bonus. Had a great nights sleep.

    Nothing

    Spacious suite, water dispenser with cold and very hot drinking water, lovely gardens and nice pool. It was located very close to Maluk Timor which we were visiting. Close to airport (5 minute drive) but that did mean it was the other end of town to much of the other stuff such as the excellent Timorese Resistance Museum

    My room was close to the entrance gate & there were times when loud motorbikes seemed to be sitting outside gate for extended times.

    It is a very nice property with really well maintained gardens. The pool is well looked after and great for a cool off. The breakfast was basic but good. It was a bonus to have some washing included with room rate.
