Hotels near Gokata

It’s a really well run hotel, possibly the only hotel on Sumba that caters for travellers. The restaurant food was excellent and the staff were very friendly.

Beautiful location on the sea. Nice staff who accommodated us when our flight was delayed

Great stay walking distance to the airport very convenient. They also arranged for us to get a bike.

Beautifully peaceful! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and service was exceptional. After 3 days we felt very at home :) we visited the nearby beaches - stunning white sand. We did a tour of the village which was very informative and we loved seeing the local life. Eka was our guide, along with Dini, and both were amazing to spend the day with, we loved their sharing of Sumba knowledge and history. We even forgot something when we left and they drove it to us. This was not only lovely accommodation but a super enriching experience that we will never forget. Thank you!

Had a great stay at Oro beach houses. Ended up extending our time by an extra two nights. There are two types of rooms available, Beach Villas which are two rooms next to each other and beach houses which are separate. The rate is roughly a 100k extra for the beach houses which is worth it for the extra space and privacy. Beach villa rooms have air conditioning for an extra charge, however when we visited in July we did not find it necessary. Every room comes with a fan and mosquito net (although when we visited at the beginning of August there were very few). An outside bathroom is attached to each room, with a cold shower. WiFi is not available in the rooms but available in the common areas. Telkomsel signal is also very weak. Breakfast, consisting of fruit and either banana pancakes or omelet, is included in the room rate. Additionally, dinner is available, the dishes available change daily and cost 85k per person. We ate there twice and the food was very good! Airport pick ups can be arranged for 150k. Scooter rental can also be sorted for 250k per day, which is expensive for Indonesia but typical for Sumba. The scooters we rented were very good quality and larger than your regular scooter (which is helpful as the roads in Sumba are not the best). Everyone was super friendly and helpful, especially Noni and Mario! They helped us sort a shared taxi to Waingapu (200k pp) Additionally Tours can be organised although we did not do any. Definitely recommend staying here!
