This is our second time visiting, and our Sumba family and us are always made so welcome

We had an amazing stay at Har's place. The location is nothing short of dreamy, with amazing views of the valley hills just in front. Har has constructed all the houses (I recall around 3-4 now) by himself, you can check on his IG for more detail on how he built them! All of them are really comfortable and unique, following the local architecture, blending with nature and each of them providing a different experience. Har is an expert and consultant on organic farming and produces his own veggies that he uses to cook the most fantastic breakfasts you will ever have, super yummy and different everyday, with the plus of overviewing the views directly from your stay. Don't forget also to order dinner from him, much better than eating anywhere else, every meal was amazing. Har always went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable, showed as around his plantation (he plants to reforest the area with a thousand fruit trees!) and the best: he gave us the best tips on the island, pointing spots that are not even in Google Maps and ready to explore. Think on pristine waterfalls, empty beaches, beautiful local villages, hills, etc. Please visit Har and Sumba before it gets ruined by the evils of mass tourism, and please visit with an open mind, it's raw, wild, authentic, and that's why is missing facilities compared with other destinations, but that what make it so unique and special. Thanks so much Har, we cannot wait to visit you again, cannot wait to see your new creations, houses, farm and forest!

The view from this villa is amazing. We can see the hills, river, sunrise and sunset glow. The atmosphere is very peaceful, some animals live together in this beautiful place. Breakfast is also nice. We enjoyed Nasi Goreng, Banana pancake and cutting fruits with nice view. At the departure day, even if we leave the villa very early in the morning 5:00am, hotel staff prepared us light breakfast for taking away. Staffs are very kind and friendly. Freddy helped us very much and took us to a lot of beautiful places. He knows a lot of attractive spot in Sumba, so we do not know much about this island at first time, but we could really enjoyed here because of his kind support. We could have a really nice time. The style of this villa seems like living in harmony with nature, so we felt it very comfortable. We will comeback this place if we have a chance to visit Sumba island. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Eddy the host is super nice. The location is great - in a quite village and very close to the city with any shop you’ll need.

Exceptional staff regardless of the language barriers. Home stay feels safe and inviting. We hired a scooter and they were kind enough to look after our luggage while we went out exploring. Comfy beds and the shower worked better then others we had come across.

Very kind and helpful staff at the reception desk and restaurant. This place is not overcrowded and you can enjoy your stay. It is not far away from beautiful beaches, hills and waterfalls.

The staff at this hotel are exceptional. While their English is limited, they can communicate with you and always trying to make you stay as comfortable as possible. In addition, it is near the airport, which is convenient if you have an early morning flight. This is one of the better places to stay in Waingapu

the room is spacious, clean and water pressure is strong. Nice pool area and quite varied selection of food at the restaurant as well.

Amazing location. The service was fantastic. Staff is very friendly and kind. We loved every second in here. Food was delicious. They prepared a special gala dinner for my girlfriend and they really spoiled us. Fresh fish everyday. The room was lovely too
