Komodo Hotels with Gym

Felt like a hotel from the 1980s. Room was very nice as was the pool but a totally bizarre set of priorities with no eco / sustainable qualities. No place to refill water but instead if you ask for water they send someone one to your room with small plastic bottles. They replenish these plastic bottles each day. They give you new tiny plastic bottles of shampoo each day and wash the towels every day regardless of requests. Totally unnecessary use of energy and plastic. Breakfast is poor. Great number of staff there but seem focused on putting out stacks of plates ans cups correctly and often no milk available. No hot water so if you want tea you just have a pot which brews constantly and they just periodically add water too. In a country full of beautiful fresh fruit their breakfast fruit is not fresh and often covered in flies. There is so many staff they could just bring each person a little plate of fruit if they liked. Lots of options in the hot plate buffet but all seem straight from a frozen / package and not fresh at all.

Hotel with pros and cons I booked Laprima hotel because of its good views with closer proximity to town than other luxury hotels, with a decent price tag. I think we got that! PROS - good sunset views from your little balcony, with plenty of space to hang wet swim gear from your days adventures - Lush grounds with frangipani, birds of paradise, other other pretty plants - Great pool and there is also a BBQ area and spa on site - Decent coffee - Comfy bed - Clean towels each day and a shower that does not get the whole bathroom wet - Box breakfast provided for early departures (ours was good)! CONS - The food is just okay- some variety, fresh fruit every day, nice layout of dining space, but not great cooking. Also, don’t expect Western choices (not that we did) - Low quality toiletries so don’t forget your own, especially conditioner and even bar soap - the worst problem was that we were not picked up at the appointed time at the airport and the man at the front desk lied about someone coming for us! We had pre arranged our pick-up through Trip.com beforehand, but when we walked out the door of the airport… no one was there with our names OR the name of the hotel on a paper. No biggie, we call the number of the hotel and the man says that someone will be there in five minutes. We wait ten before calling again and the man assures us that someone is in the parking lot so we just have to find him. Meanwhile of course there is a huge crowd of taxi drivers begging to take us, but we don’t want to stand up our driver so we lug our suitcases and backpacks down the steps and search the parking lot for any van or bus with our hotel name on it. No sign. So we call AGAIN and ask what’s going on and the man says (no joke), “Sorry, we had a VIP arrive and couldn’t help you right away.” So we got the message loud and clear that we were not important. Finally, we get some taxi driver to take us to the hotel. It’s been 40 sweaty minutes and since the hotel is only ten minutes away by car, we could have been there and back again a few times at this point. We pull into the driveway and there is the hotel van, parked in the shade. Needless to say, we were pretty mad but we’re trying not to lose our cool. The man at the desk really did not know what to do. He didn’t offer to upgrade us until we suggested it and he seemed unsure how to handle the situation at all. It seems looking back that it was just a problem of miscommunication and very inadequate training. Perhaps the front desk is not his usual role and he was just there for low season. But beware. It made me have trust issues with anything else the hotel provided. Would we get our laundry back? Would they really have our breakfast boxes ready on time for our early pick- up? That one was almost a no as well. To be fair, the same man did help us print a document several days later. I don’t want to vilify him. But he really messed up the first impression!

Very Very expensive for a big room with NOTHING in it. NO fridge in a HOT city is pretty hopeless. Air conditioning is not even cool at all. It's like a fan.We tried 2 rooms before we just gave up. Breakfast is coffee, corn flakes and bread/toast. HA ! Milk is warm because there is no refrigerator in the whole hotel, not even in their non existent kitchen. My third visit to Labuan Bajo and my first and last visit to this hotel. Staff - So many staff but none are helpful or can speak English. The one and only good thing about this hotel is the view from room.

We come from a terrible experience at the previous hotel. And the truth is that we were super comfortable here. We had a problem in the room with hot water on the second night. Seeing that the breakdown was serious and there was no quick fix. And they gave us the option to shower in another location where such a service was available. The pool is very good, and the staff is super friendly and they try to help you with everything we ask of them. The location is a little far from the port area, which is where the city life is. But in favor is that it gives a lot of calm and tranquility. I recommend it without a doubt if you take a motorcycle or transport. By the way, we had a motorcycle that they arranged for us within 30 minutes of our arrival at the hotel at the same price as what was available later in the city.

If you are looking for a fun and welcoming place to stay while in Labuan Bajo, then book your stay here! My husband and I had a week here. We loved the staff - they helped us book our scuba diving trip and Komodo island visit. They were also wonderful to chat with, recommend things to do, and make us comfortable on our stay. The place was incredibly clean. I generally prefer to have a private bath when traveling, but because they are constantly cleaning, I was very comfortable in any of the facilities. They also prepare delicious food and drinks. If they have a fish bbq while you are there, definitely try it! We had it twice while we were there, and both times were great. Drinks are reasonably priced, so you can enjoy an evening there. My favorite part was how eco-friendly the staff and facilities are. They have fresh water in two locations so you can refill your bottles at any time. They also have cups you can use while you are there for water, coffee, or tea(all are provided). If you would like a snack, you can use the kitchen to prepare food, or use some of their pancake mix. There isn’t hot water, which was a bit hard to get used to, but it’s so hot on the island, it doesn’t really matter. If we return to Labuan Bajo, we will definitely be staying here!

With a stay at OYO 90974 Homestay Golo Koe Sejahtera in Labuan Bajo, you'll be within a 5-minute drive of Labuan Bajo Port and St. Angela Labuan Bajo. This hotel is 1 mi (1.7 km) from Pede Labuan Beach and 2.4 mi (3.9 km) from Batu Cermin Cave.This hotel offers designated smoking areas.The front desk is staffed during limited hours. Free self parking is available onsite.Make yourself at home in one of the 20 air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen televisions. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and cable programming is available for your entertainment. Bathrooms feature showers with rainfall showerheads. Conveniences include desks and desk chairs, and housekeeping is provided daily.

The property is beautifully decorated and the private balcony offers a fantastic view and spot to watch sunset. As the name hints the property is located on a hillside which means there are a lot of steps. However it’s worth it for the view! It also means that amenities like water are hard to deliver, and we had to wait for more water to be pumped up- not an issue just something to note. Overall the property has a lovely rustic charm, but I would advise brining water or wine/drinks to enjoy on the balcony (there is a fridge) as the restaurant doesn’t have anything other than beer and it’s a bit of a distance to the shop. The staff were really kind & helpful with all of my questions. I would stay again 😀

Suitable for spending the night, located in the center, has air conditioning, shower with warm water
