Pros:

A lovely hotel for anyone who wants to relax in a stunning location. With it's own private beach, you can enjoy the sunset right from the pool or restaurant, and we even had a few friendly water buffalo wander past! If you want more hustle and bustle then perhaps stay closer to the port, as there aren't many shops or restaurants nearby, but this was the perfect place for us to recover after our action-packed Komodo Islands cruise. The rooms are simple but very spacious and comfortable. The staff are lovely and accommodating - they even started the breakfast buffet one hour earlier for us as we had an early flight! Food is simple but it's great value for money overall, one of our favourite hotels on our trip!

Pros:

An excellent property for a cheap overnight stay on the way to Komodo. Check in was fast and hassle free. Room was basic but clean and quiet. More luxurious rooms were available, but we didn't feel it was worth it for one night. Beach area lovely and perfect for the sunset. Restaurant on the beach served perfect food at a very reasonable price. We didn't use the pool but it did look a little tired. Collection from the airport and breakfast was included. We ordered the breakfast box to eat on the boat.

Nice stay
Pros:

The hotel overall has a great location on the beach and the pool has a nice view. The breakfast was basic but good and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I had dinner here also and found the food to be quite good. I would definitely return if I travelled through Labuan Bajo again

Pros:

Hotel staff are helpful and friendly. Nice pool on the beach. Not crowded. Has its own restaurant and bar. We paid extra to be upgraded to the villa as we wanted more space and a balcony. About 7 mins drive to town.

Great service and location, but smelly rooms and not so well-maintained
Pros:

This smaller hotel on the island of Flores; Indonesia has excellent service and a decent breakfast. The rooms could be cleaner, and the hotel is very poorly maintained. I got two rooms that smelled like sewage and it even smelled outside. The beach is nothing to be excited about and you really can’t go swimming. The place has been so neglected that even their paths are falling apart, there’s rust in the shower but the beds are comfortable.

Pros:

This hotel is a little easy out of town but reachable on a Grab bike for less than 20.000Rp. Great pool/beach and a nice little restaurant. Rooms are standard layout.

Wonderful stay at beautiful beach hotel Ayana
Pros:

At the end of a wonderful trip to Indonesia, we came to the Ayana Hotel in Bajo to relax. It was an excellent choice. Architecturally, the building is a masterpiece: the design is harmonious, the room layout is perfect with extremely generous space. The swimming pool and seaside facilities are pleasant, the restaurants in the hotel are excellent; a generous international breakfast buffet with an Indonesian touch. Even more important than the practical and beautiful infrastructure is the courteous and diligent staff who spared no effort to make our stay more enjoyable - the cleaning staff, waiters like Rolin and Tania at breakfast, the waiters at the pool bar and in the restaurants, the lifeguards and receptionists deserve special mention.

In short: PERFECT!

Beautiful Spa & friendly staff
Pros:

We went to the Cave Spa at the hotel as people who stayed outside the hotel (not guests).

We had Hilma & Rahma as our massagers. The massage was amazing and you could tell that they had so much expertise and could feel where needed specific focus.

Really enjoyed it and my body feels so much better and relaxed! Loved the massage and lovely staff too :)

Unprofessional, immature and poor maintenance .
Pros:

4 stars for this place has got to be a joke! They would barely come of as 3 stars. The maintenance is terrible, and the staff is so immature an unprofessional. They stare, laugh and talk about you when you can clearly see it. So uncomfortable. Think it would be good for them to get some education and evaluation from the management. None of them barely speaks English? The pool was basically a green pot full of dirt and the beach was full of trash. If you’re loooking for a nice place, I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s a huge scam and from reading the huge amount of bad reviews, they don’t seem to care about the low effort on accommodation service.
4 stars is very undeserved.
Do better

Pros:

Luwansa is a nice place to stay for a few days. Food, room, people and pool are very nice. The beach is dirty; a lot of trash. And the bottom of the sea is covered with dirth. Not nice to swim.
The view is great and ideal to see the sunset.

Cool Beachfront Hotel
Pros:

Very nice, friendly hotel. Lovely rooms and helpful staff. This was our base as we did day trips to Komodo and it was a pleasure to get home each night and relax. The beachfront restaurant/bar is very comfortable and the breakfast buffet lets you fuel up for a day of adventure. I would happily stay here again. Labuan Bajo is a beautiful little town full of friendly people.

Beautiful Resort Perfectly Positioned in Labuan Bajo
Pros:

Luwansa is perfectly positioned in terms of location and value.

Right on a quiet stretch of powdery white beach. Sunset facing (and they were spectacular). Beautiful gardens. Friendly staff. Airport transfer included. Just a couple of km to central Labuan Bajo (5-8 mins). Motorbike rental available onsite or a taxi is 100 IDR. The rooms are basic but comfortable, clean and a good size. Pool was nice and warm. I'm genuinely glad I choose to stay at Luwansa and didn't stay in town.

The only criticism would be the price of drinks - 2 small Bintang and 1 fruit juice cost 218k IDR. A bit steep in my opinion and compared to other bars and hotels we visited.
