Volle Empfehlung
Pros:

Eine tolle Erfahrung hier zu übernachten. Wir hatten das offene Bungalow und es hat sich gelohnt. Es ist sauber und toll eingerichtet. Frühstück ist sehr gut. Gastgeber freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Rauschen des Ozeans. Toller Strand direkt vor der Anlage.
Anfahrt von Waigapu ist super. Straße ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und die Landschaft sehr schön. Am Rückweg sind wir durch die Berge gefahren, was ein einmaliges Erlebnis war.

Cons:

Anfahrt ist schwierig, da von der Straße viele kleine Wege abzweigen und es keine Wegweiser gibt. Strand ist etwas vermüllt von Meeresplastik. Ich hab angefangen etwas aufzuräumen und schon Mal die beiden Eingangsbereich zum Strand gesäubert. Am Bungalow steht ein großer Eimer. Wenn jeder Gast diesen einmal voll macht, dann ist der Strand in Kürze sauber und die Welt ein Stück besser.

A simple, rustic stay that is best suited for nature lovers and travelers looking to unplug and enjoy a peaceful environ
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to assist us, including providing extra lighting when requested.

Beautiful natural surroundings, with the beach only a short walk away.

A unique outdoor experience that allows guests to feel close to nature.

The gazebos with solid walls were comfortable and included air conditioning and a fan.

Little crabs running around my bathroom. Quite entertaining.

Cons:

The location was difficult to find, especially at night.

The open-air gazebo had no solid walls, which may not be suitable for everyone.

No hot water, and the water tasted slightly salty.

An animal, possibly a dog or cat, entered our gazebo at night, went through our belongings, and bit into some of our food.

We would come back in a heartbeat.
Pros:

Shirley. Seclusion. Serenity.
It was a home away from home for our family of 5 (3 boys 5,7 & 9).
Authentic Sumba experience living among the fishing communities that live along the coast.
Did not see one other tourist the entire week we were there and we walked for kms in each direction.
Heldeem was our excellent on site tour guide (10 year old who spoke little/no English) and he joined in with the boys teaching them how to catch crabs and point out different wildlife. Thank you Wajonata for everything.

Cons:

I wouldn’t say “What I don’t like”. The fact that this place exists and runs is amazing and Marcel and Shirley should be proud of what they have.
The only thing to improve would be the power outages. In our situation , world schooling the boys , we rely on WIFI to be consistent for periods of time and then air con on the hot days. It didn’t cause us any exasperation but as I said it is an area to improve.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Very good value.
Pros:

The host Ibu Sherly was amazing. So flexible and attentive to our family of 5 and accomodating breakfast for when we came back from the surf. Eggs on toast (fried and boiled eggs) as well as the mie goreng (fried noodles) was a real hit at breakfast. We also got bananas with breakfast. One day they must have run out of bananas and we got papaya. That so yummy too. I would pay extra for papaya which we did ask for at dinner as well. So yum too!

The mie goreng (fried noodles) with vegetables and egg was really good. Full of vegetables. For dinner we also liked the opor ayam (Chicken coconut curry) and the fried fish (ikan bakar) with a plate of mixed vegetables (sayuran campur). Also the chicken soup (sop ayam).

So lovely right on the beach. We took our bean bags and sat out on the beach at sunset. So quiet and beautiful. And we didnt have any problems with mosquitos inside our hut and didnt need the nets. Maybe depends on the season. We were here in early December. But you need insect repellant for outside because of sand flies so pack that and you will be fine. Also bring lots of sunscreen becauae itnis so expensive in Indonesia.

Surfed out the front at the reef and at the pier. Local knowledge of surf from near by Australian who lives their Pak Rodney and his wife Ibu Netta. Lovely people.

Even on the last day because we had to leave very early before breakfast. She gave us a bag of boiled eggs the night before with a bunch of bananas to take with us. So thoughtful and generous.

Amazingly good value accommodation for the area. We went the bigger huts which were fully enclosed and really nice beds. They both have a queen and a single bed in them. Highly recommend this place. We had a hire car from Tambolaka airport (without driver) for our entire stay.

Pros:

Belle surprise !

Après un accueil chaleureux de Shirly nous avons découvert notre bungalow. Il est très bien décoré, avec une salle de bain spacieuse semi-ouverte vers l’extérieur. De la terrasse, équipée de bains de soleil, on a vue sur la mer à moins de 100 m.

La cuisine de Shirly est simple mais gouteuse. Excellent poulet à la sauce coco mais bien d’autres spécialités indonésiennes dans le menu.

La plage, pas de surprise, comme partout en Indonésie la marée rapporte les plastiques, pour autant, pas plus que sur d’autres plages de Bali. A la demande nous avons pu profiter du Kayak dans le lagon. Le soir venu magnifique ciel étoilé.

On a pu apprécier la tranquillité et la proximité avec les pêcheurs d’algues locaux. On est loin du tumulte de Bali, et c’est ça dont nous avions besoin. On aurait voulu prolonger, mais l’emploi du temps ne le  permettait pas.

On recommande à ceux en quête d’aventure.

Cons:

Manque l’air conditionné dans la chambre, mais l’instabilité de l’électricité sur l'île explique sans doute cela. Et les panneaux solaires présents ne suffisent apparemment pas.

Paradise
Pros:

Ein absolut magischer Ort – als wäre die Zeit hier einfach stehen geblieben! 🌴✨ Der kleine Bungalow liegt direkt am Strand, umgeben von Natur und mit einem Blick aufs Meer, der einem den Atem raubt. Morgens wacht man mit dem Rauschen der Wellen auf und abends leuchtet der Sonnenuntergang in den unglaublichsten Farben.

Das Highlight war der frischeste Fisch, den ich je gegessen habe – direkt aus dem Meer auf den Grill, einfach perfekt zubereitet! 🐟🔥 Und als wäre das nicht genug, konnte man beim Schwimmen tatsächlich Schildkröten im klaren Wasser beobachten. 🐢💙

Wer Ruhe, Authentizität und echtes Inselfeeling sucht, wird diesen Ort genauso lieben wie ich. Ein Stück Paradies, das man am liebsten geheim halten möchte! 🌺🌊

Danke Shirly🙏

Très déçus
Pros:

Deco mignone

Cons:

Bâtiments et arbres partiellement brûlés ; terrain à l abandon; le bungalow prévu " vue mer" entièrement détruit, donc attribué le seul restant en retrait.
On vous propose une " restauration " sans carte et sans prix....choisi poisson grillé soit 1 poisson plutôt petit + la tête pour l un et la queue pour l autre.
Bungalow pas aéré ; intérieur irrespirable et étouffant ; le ventilateur, n avait pas été mis en marche pour nous accueillir...
Plage très sale
Hotel non opérationnel en résumer

Bon séjour à Wajonata
Pros:

Shirly est vraiment accueillante et souriante, elle cuisine bien. Le bungalow est confortable, nous avons très bien dormi. On est bien placé près de la plage. Nous avons pu louer un scooter directement au resort.
On se sent presque seul au monde. Il faut aimer entre en pleine nature.

Pros:

Lokalita ubytování je poměrně daleko od hlavní asfaltové cesty. Ubytování samotné je velmi hezké a nachází se přímo na břehu moře ve velké zahradě/parku. Vybavení je čisté a plně odpovídající. Bohužel na nás při příjezdu zapomněli, tak nám check in trval o něco déle. Plně nám však náš stres z cesty a čekání ve tmě uprostřed ničeho vynahradil personál, který připravil naprosto skvělou večeři.

All was great, we had a fabulous time 👍👌
Pros:

We were in the open space villa. We loved the room proximity to the beach, perfect! Serli the manager was so kind, and cooked amazing food with reasonable price. The hotel is very remote but we were well looked after, so all was good. Loved the remoteness ❤️❤️. Good strong wifi 👍

Cons:

It was very windy and rained real hard one evening, the bamboo blind was up to no good, even the roof was leaking a little, but I think it was exceptionally windy and rainy that evening.

Very good
Pros:

Nice place, right on the beach, food was delicious

Cons:

Hosts didn't seem to remember we were coming and the room wasn't ready. The place is quite far from the main tourist areas, so if you have a driver taking you there, check ahead they have accommodations for him.

The hermit’s ideal getaway
Pros:

Secluded location, great wifi, ideal getaway to focus on getting things done. It felt very peaceful when weather was settled. A great escape from the whole world being in a corner for south east of Sumba. Beach was quiet. Shirly, who made the meals and cleaned, was very sweet.

Cons:

Wind came thru and totally mucked up my stay. Had to upgrade to the Bungalow.
