Search hotels in Komodo National Park, Indonesia

Staff was super friendly. Restaurant was top level, get the apple crumble!!! For us backpackers this was our expensive luxury stay, and it was worth every penny.

Nice terrace view, very friendly hosts and staff

This is a homestay with the one of the local people of Komodo village, who is also a Komodo park ranger. It is not a hotel and does not at all have western standards or facilities, so it is not possible to review as a hotel. The reason to go here is that it provides a base for a more genuine experience of the Komodo park than going on the speedboats. The owner Jeki can organize tours with the same itinerary (dragon treks, Padar Island, snorkeling and so on) but with just yourself and your company where you will have peace and quiet and lots of time to do whatever you want, not being surrounded by 50 other people. You will get there by fishing boat, and the local people of Komodo of course are the best at knowing all about the area and where all the animals can be found, I saw lots of dragons, mantas and turtles. I was warmly welcomed and got to eat home cooked delicious Indonesian food. My bedroom was on the top floor, had a fan and was sea front with beautiful view, I could sit on the balcony and watch the sunset. The bathroom was downstairs and shared with the family. There is wifi although the signal is unreliable. To get here you can either take the public local ferry or arrange with Jeki to pick you up at the airport and go by fishing boat, as I did. My journey took about 3-3,5 hours one way. Jeki is easily contacted on his WhatsApp. It was all a great adventure and a more authentic Komodo trip than I otherwise would have had.

Jhuna opened his doors and made sure all our needs were met , we came to the island for 1 thing to see the dragons and Jhuna made sure we seen plenty … many more then the national park tour . Also Jhuna took us on a boat tour back to Labuan bajo and took us on a private snorkeling tour where we seen tropical fish and coral, aswell as huge manta rays swimming in the ocean … Jhuna went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and we are more then grateful . Thank you

Nice people, good food, interesting place

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The family who hosted us was very kind and helped arrange a local boat to take us to different beaches and snorkeling spots that were absolutely gorgeous (like manta point and pink beach). The host is a ranger at Komodo National Park and gave us a wonderful tour. It was very special to stay in the Muslim village on the sea and have a glimpse of life there. Everyone was very friendly and warm.

We had an amazing time at the homestay, we feel welcomed and part of the local community. Despite this experience may be out of your comfort zone and the village may be noisy at night or a little dirty with plastic, we really recommend it because we experienced one of the most beautiful moments of our trip to Indonesia that we will always carry in our hearts! The homestay is located in a small village in komodo island. We stay in a building at the second floor and we share the apartment with a local family that cooked good food for us. The rooms were simple but confortable with fan. The bathroom has a proper toilette and a shower. Jhojo paid a lot of attention to all our needs and he was very kind, friendly and speaks a very good english. He brought us to the best spots in Komodo National Park at the best time to avoid the crowd of tourists. Moreover he taught us how to live side by side with komodo Dragons, which live on the island! For the trip during the day we used a local boat, contributing to all the village economy, and we very appreciate this. We had an amazing time together and hope to come back one day!

Bahari (our amazing tour guide and camera man), Sargen (our brilliant captain) and Jahiding and wife (host and first class cook) made this an unbelievable experience ! Be aware that the accommodation is very basic and I recommend taking earplugs (also for the boat), but once you settle down and get absorbed into the village life, the adventure begins and a different world opens. The wifi is almost nonexistent but after a while you can accept it as it is and relax. FB and instagram will wait for you … Our trip started at the harbor when we were warmly greeted by the ever smiling Bahari. After a 1,5 hour trip we arrived at our first snorkeling point and in the course of getting to the homestay, we visited 3 absolutely amazing snorkeling places where we saw at least 20+ beautiful turtles and such an abundance of other fish and corals. This continued the next two days and highlight were seeing so many Komodo dragons, being surrounded by hundreds of dolphins and of course the people we met on the tours. The whole trip may be expensive, but work out what 3 meals a day, a private guide and a private boat, entrance to the park etc etc … will cost, then the amount you pay is worth it, trust me. Would I do it again…damn right I would.

Really nice and quiet place, like a heaven.

The pool, the beach, the restaurant, the service. We had a very relaxing stay at Sudamala and would recommend this resort to anyone visiting Labuan Bajo. They accommodated to let us check in early as we arrived early in the morning. They also helped us book one extra night as our return flight was cancelled.
