Nice people, good food, interesting place

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!

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.

Nestled in Komodo village, my stay at this homestay hosted by Jeki was unforgettable. Jeki organized private tours tailored to my preferences, offering an authentic experience away from the tourist crowds (to see the Komodos, Mantas and for snorkeling). His expertise in Komodo dragon encounters, the ocean inhabitants and the region ensured memorable moments and stunning photographs. The homestay provided a simple (local standard) but cozy retreat with delicious local cuisine cooked by his wife. Seamless transfers and reliable internet access added to the convenience. For travelers seeking an immersive Komodo adventure, this homestay offers hospitality and local insight beyond compare. (Note: It's not a hotel; you stay with a local family.) Furthermore, I would like to point out that Jeki was super helpful via WhatsApp for transport arrangements & other questions and flexible in arranging the stay. Thank you! And all the Best, you and your family will be remembered :-)

Amazing experience staying in Komodo Village. Host was so easy to communicate with. He organised transport, trips, snorkelling and private Komodo Dragons tour for us. His wife was making delicious food for brekie, lunch and dinner. When we went out on the boat she gave us takeaway containers. Very thoughtful of them!
