It was a good stay. One of the best service in Tambolaka. They have private beach. The staff very friendly. I can enjoy sunset and sunrise from their beach. Nice place to stay and it is worth enough to pay the value. I will stay here again if come back to this island again.

Rua Beach Resort

DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Reviewed By chantal_rae

Where do I start?! The images used by the property to advertise the resort are extremely misleading and a complete misrepresentation of the property. The whole resort is unclean, uncared for and not maintained. Plants are dying/dead, paths are overgrown, pools are unclean and damaged, ac smells of mould, animals living the the roof, bathrooms represent a prison cell, and the manager needs basic training in hospitality and customer service.... I could go on. I took lots of pictures as proof that the resort is misleading their customers and offering accommodation WELL above a price suitable for the current state of the resort. I visited the ‘resort’ with a friend. Upon arrival our first opinions of the resort were ‘this is not like the pictures’. We unpacked, turned on the ac and contemplated what to do, as there was a storm starting to approach Sumba. We asked Ibu Anna (manager) if we could use the internet to plan our trip on google maps as the storm approaching had changed our plans. Ibu Anna said there was no internet to use, even tho her staff and herself logged into wifi (that I have a screenshot of) This level of service didn’t sit well with us, specially due to the level of need to contact family and search alternatives! Cyclone off shore and flood warning calls for use of internet!!! On returning to the room, the were met with an awful smell of mould coming from the aircon, and a very loud noise of a family of birds from the low ceiling above one of the beds. We asked to move rooms and this process was handled ok, with staff helping us move our belongings in the rain, to a larger room. This larger room had a balcony covered in extra furniture (tables, clothes racks and wooden chairs etc) and Ibu Anna explained that this would be removed.... never was! I was not going to pay ‘extra’ for this ‘upgrade’ see pictures of the bathroom for a visual.... I have many more I wish to share. During our three night stay (4 nights booked) we had to ask twice for the room to be cleaned and when I asked for a refund for the final night we choose not to stay, as we decided to make our way closer to the north near the airport for departure, we were told no refund!! It is with all this, and other examples and evidence, that I asked the property for a refund. Rua Beach has totally misrepresented the property and offered no solution or sincere apology. Instead I was met with a staff member telling me ‘Hallo mr.(I’m not a Mr!!!) I am sorry Why u asking me the refund ? You book through booking.com right The you stay as your booking in our resort It so funny you are said dispointed then you askung refund You have to know There is no booking.com contact us (booking.com had contacted them) Only through email telling that you only complain (yeah correct, I have complained, and you have received notification of this) Then you know exactly when you book through booking.com rules Then you know also you was check in and check out Mr i am so sorry there is no refundable You can do what you what to do on social media We had do best for you since you stay in our place’ Since then they have deleted their WA picture and my replies have been sent, but not delivered!!! The inappropriateness and lack of professionalism is just unbelievable. For the mentioned above, and much more- DO NOT BOOK at this so called ‘resort’ !!!

Very cute unique place

Reviewed By pdmancs

We stayed overnight and were the only guests in these pandemic times, but the staff were quite literally falling over themselves to take care of us and make us feel welcome. We had three meals in the restaurant (lunch, dinner and breakfast). All excellent. Our room was very rustic. One or two things didn’t maybe work so well (eg the concrete floor meant it was impossible to keep your feet clean) but overall it was great. This a very well run, cute place with so many little touches and details. The beach setting is sublime. Really beautiful. Highly recommended if you’re in the area or even visiting Waingapu. It’s only a 45 min drive.

Really love this Resort. The location is perfect. About 20 minutes from Airport. Not in the middle of town. Cen feel the breeze from the room. I can see the river and hill from my balcony. The view from the restaurant was very beautiful. The breakfast was great, not to many choices but the taste is very delicious. Trekking to the hill in front of the Resort is very reccommended. It was around 2 hours in the morning. Trekking with 2 Dogs , Pak Samuel & Medi (trekking guide from Resort) and with Pak Freddy (owner of this Resort). Pak Freddy (owner) is very friendly and humble. I will be back to this Resort with my family for sure. And next time I will try the canoe. Thank.you Pak Freddy and Batman. Love the Resort so much.

Tanto Hotel

Tanto Hotel is located in the heart of Waingapu, Sumba Timur. It is a City Hotel that pledged to serve its customers with Sumbanese hospitality. Tanto Hotel is your best choice in town!

Decent Hotel

Reviewed By rockdoc21

Clean room, good air conditioner (essential in Waingapu). Central in the city. Some of the rooms can be quite noisy, but most are good. This is one of the better hotels in Waingapu. I've stayed here on three trips so far and likely will again

Amuya Homestay

Nice common areas, neglected bedroom

Reviewed By pdmancs

Two of us stayed overnight at Amuya after arriving in Waingapu. Positives: - Great location close to the centre. - Lovely courtyard style garden setting with pool. - Nice communal lounge/dining area. - WiFi good. - Off road parking. Negatives: - The hotel staff had no record of our booking and payment when we arrived. The owner had told them they had no new arrivals that day. - Our room was pretty poor, and certainly not to the same standard as the rest of hotel. It’s like it belonged to a different place altogether: peeling wallpaper, TV/cable unplugged and not connected, aircon stuck on one temperature, no hangers in wardrobe, door handles missing, only one bedside table, no kettle/hot drinks or hairdryer (all listed as standard), awful smell from bathroom drain, mould on bathroom walls, heavily stained tiles, bathroom not very clean, bathroom fan filthy dirty. - Other reviews talk about a great breakfast being served. We had watermelon, and a basic watery soup with boiled rice. Absolutely fine, but not quite the feast we expected. Maybe it was because they weren’t expecting guests! The hotel could be great, but they have neglected the rooms. Maybe they haven’t made much money and have neglected to maintain the bedrooms. Overall I would say that unfortunately, at over 500k for the night, it represented poor value.

Wisma Eldorado

Basic but clean and pleasing

Reviewed By Daniel G

Stayed here for more than a week. The service was great! The owner is very friendly, the room is clean and the bathroom is considered clean as well for Indonesian standard. Very light breakfast provided, I usually had plain bread with tea and sometimes fried sweet banana. Shops are just next door and a small restaurant. It's not in the center of the city so the road is not crowded and noisy. All room got twin bed.

Big and clean room with good aircon, fast wifi, big shower with hot water, perfect big bed, what else do you want? Restaurant service with good menu and fresh made food. Friendly staff, for Western people very cheap. Negative reviews that I saw might concern the old rooms but the new rooms are perfect. And remember, this is Waingapu.
