Gute Ider im Museum zu wohnen, aber erst prüfen ob irgendjemand da ist
Pros:

Der Pool ist herrlich! Gross und auch tief, tolles Wasser
Direkt neben dem Hotel (auf Schleichweg erreichbar) ist die Rettung: https://www.talasi.com/visit-talasi-weetabula-sumba-2/
Da habe es wifi, Kaffee (vom aller aller allerfeinsten! Sogar Latte!) Schatten, leckere cashew pancakes, herrliches Ambiente, liebenswerte junge Menschen, die englisch sprechen - und eine Mahlzeit
Nichts von alledem gab es im Rumah

Cons:

Leer

Pros:

This was a nice stay - interesting museum - organise a tour and donate as it’s not always open and I think it’s a private collection???

It’s very quiet and far from town so a scooter is recommended

There is also a great cashew farm up the road within walking distance that has great coffee and delicious cashew milk which we enjoyed hot and cold (try both!)

Pros:

Posizione comoda vicino all’aeroporto. La stanza si trova all’interno di un museo, luogo davvero suggestivo. Noi non abbiamo incontrato nessuno, se non una ragazza che ci ha dato le chiavi e un’altra che la mattina dopo ci ha indicato la stanza della colazione, che era molto buona!

Cons:

Niente, come da descrizione

Super Preis - Leistungs - Verhältnis, sauber, empfehlenswert.
Pros:

Sehr grosse und geräumige Zimmer. Unterkunft ist sehr sauber. Nachts ruhige Umgebung. Durften unser Gepäck über mehrere Tage lagern. Personal spricht zwar kein englisch, ist aber sehr hilfsbereit und bemüht bei Anliegen.

Cons:

Das erste Zimmer hatte nur kalt Wasser zum duschen. WiFi ist nicht sehr gut. Es gibt indonesisches Frühstück, wer kein Reis mag kann Eier und Früchte essen.

Warmest people & real culture of Sumba
Pros:

I arrived very late due to heavy rain and was welcomed by this amazing community who helped me with so many personal things such as organisation of my trip, Oan was so kind to drive me to pick-up my luggage at another place, they called a nurse to treat my foot that was injured a little bit from a hike. It is a lovely community with a very interesting museum of Sumba's history and culture on the campus.

Cons:

nothing

A great experience with very friendly hosts - anytime again!
Pros:

Very nice people, always helpful and very friendly
Experience the traditions in the museum
Delicious breakfast :)

Cons:

We could have used a bit more instructions about the acommodation and the options in the area (cafés, rentals). Other than that everything was perfect.
