Cheap hotels in Pulau Komodo

Nice people, good food, interesting place

Authentic experience on komodo island! Jackie is a beautiful host and living with his family is a great experience. Instead of booking a crowded tour from labuan bajo this is an option that not everyone knows. You don t even need to go to the national park to see the dragons because they are directly behind the village! Also jackie can organise all the trips to the manta point, padar, pink beach etc..recommended if you don't care to have basic facilities and a more true indoneisan experience!

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

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!

I got to see the Komodo Dragons and that basically says it all for me. However, this is a new concept - to stay on Komodo Island, its a small village (nestled amongst the pier) and you stay with the Ranger and his family. We went out Dragon spotting almost immediately (the Dragons are not too difficult to find, a short walk from the homestay) at dusk and then again early morning. For me it was an experience of a lifetime to be so close to these incredible creatures, just me and the guide. The food was also AMAZING that is cooked by the family .... I had the best fish of my life (and i'm from NZ so I know good seafood....) and some seriously satisfying meals. It was a very short trip as the boat only leaves every other day so I had to go to continue my schedule. But wow. Dragons! I was a woman travelling alone and felt perfectly safe.

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.
