Pros:

In realtà non abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura perché appena vista siamo letteralmente scappati. Le fotografie sul sito di booking non corrispondono a ciò che abbiamo trovato. Premetto che non ci aspettavamo una struttura di lusso ma il bungalow che ci hanno dato era davvero un tugurio con vicino alla .pattumiera,

Cons:

Lo staff è stato comunque gentile nell'accoglienza

Te duur voor wat je krijgt
Pros:

Prachtige locatie en nette schone kamers.

Cons:

Voor deze prijs hadden we meer verwacht. Er waren geen handdoeken en geen bedlinnen en je wordt doorgestuurd naar verschillende mensen om erom te vragen. Bij aankomst wel initieel vriendelijk ontvangen door het helpend personeel, maar verder niemand aanwezig die ons te woord kon staan. Daarnaast moest je betalen voor de WiFi terwijl de kamer op zichzelf al best wel duur is. Ook geen stopcontact aanwezig op de kamer, ook raar voor deze prijs.

Relaxing island life at its best
Pros:

A great budget accommodation on a beautiful little beach. The three communal meals per day were outstanding. Opportunities to take half-day and full-day tours on a boat, or go hiking to other parts of the island through the jungle. Pretty sunsets. Hammocks and chairs for relaxing. WiFi vouchers available for purchase…but why not try going Internet-free for a few days? It was bliss.

Cons:

Just a heads-up that most of the corals directly in front of Pondok Lestari are dead, so you have to swim a bit further afield for good snorkeling. The rooms and bathrooms are very simple, with limited electricity and occasional water outages (which I personally didn’t mind).

Geweldig
Pros:

Het is een geweldige plek. Wel heel basic maar met een geweldige service. Akmel doet er alles aan zodat je verblijf geweldig is. Wij zaten hier met 2 kids van 8 en 12, de kids konden elke dag mee met vissen met Akmel op de boot. We hebben een keer s'avonds lichtgevend plankton gekeken. Mooie snorkel tours gedaan, bij de jelly fish meer geweest, een dorp op palen en we hebben zelfs nog dolfijnen gezien. Akmel en zijn familie zijn zeer gast vrij. Geweldige plek.

Cons:

Het was een geweldig verblijf.

Beautiful place, beautiful people. A must-visit.
Pros:

Beautiful, kind, life-filled people who sing and and and remind you of how good life can be. Akmal and his team/family are all such unique characters but are so special and individual. What they all have in common is how joyous and compassionate they are. The accomodation is really great, me and my girlfriend shared a hut, which we loved. We had our own toilet and 3 meals included for a brilliant price. We went on trips to Una Una, Malenge, Spearfishing and Linefishing, as well as snorkelling in coral reefs. I cannot recommend this beautiful place enough. If you’re considering it, go. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Cons:

They ran out of Bintang’s on our final night! Absolutely terrible (night of the England game) 😅but otherwise no issues.

Hemel op aarde.
Pros:

Ik heb de hemel op aarde gevonden. Het is absoluut basic; electra op avonduren, geen warm water, maar nette en schone hutten, comfortabel bed met klamboe, westers toilet.
Een grote gemeenschappelijke gezellige ruimte.

Hutten liggen direct aan het strand. Elke dag wordt strand schoongemaakt. Vanuit de hut kun je zo snorkelen naar een prachtig rif dat voor de baai ligt.
Maar achter ook 2 paden via jungle naar 2 afgelegen baaien.

Er wordt meer dan heerlijk gekookt. Veel verse gevangen vis, maar met eetwensen wordt rekening gehouden.

De familie en vrienden die helpen zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en helpen met alles.

Cons:

Voor mij niets. Dit was perfect!

Pros:

Wir hatten eine unglaublich tolle Zeit mit der Familie und den anderen Reisenden. Es hat sich ein wenig nach Zuhause angefühlt. Die Familie empfängt dich, als wärst du ein Teil davon. Das Essen war das beste was wir in Indonesien gegessen haben. Rundum hat einfach alles gepasst.
Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Zeit bei euch!

Cons:

Nichts auszusetzen

Pros:

Our stay at Pondok Lestari was incredible. The family who runs the accommodation is extremely kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. The food was very good, and one of our favorite experiences was going fishing every afternoon and then enjoying the fish we caught for dinner.

There is a beautiful coral reef right in front of the property, perfect for snorkeling, although in some areas the water can be quite shallow at low tide. The beach feels completely private, peaceful, and very cozy.

A special mention to Akmal, who was exceptionally friendly and took us on several amazing tours that he personally recommended. Thanks to him, we were able to discover some wonderful places around the area.

We would definitely return to this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic experience.

Pros:

We spent 5 nights at Pondok Lestari and had the best time!

The bungalows are small, basic but comfortable. The food was fantastic (lots of fresh fish!) and plentiful and breakfast we were able to choose between fruit and pancakes or nasi goreng.

Akmal and his family were friendly and helped organise reasonably priced half day and full day trips (snorkelling spots, village visits and to the jellyfish lake). We even went fishing with Akmal for our dinner.

The snorkelling out of the front of the accomodation is nice, can also go spear fishing and walk to the beach nearby which we had all to ourselves and also nice snorkelling.

If you are looking for a fancy, resort-style stay then this is not the place. The bungalows are rustic, with lizards, mosquitos, only a cold water pipe for a shower and electricity limited to night time. But it is a fantastic place to stay and unwind, with great food and people. Highly recommend!
