Enttäuschend, verstehe die positiven Bewertungen nicht.
Pros:

Matratze bequem. Balkon schöne Aussicht.

Cons:

Das Bad war nicht sauber.
Kein Angebot für Schnorcheln, wie Ausrüstung.
Wasserzugang mit Essensreste vor allem Eierschalen verschmutzt.
Extrem unfreundliche Gastgeberin vor Ort.

Ok place in a wonderful town for scuba diving.
Pros:

The restaurant was right on the water so the view was beautiful. The staff were very nice. Mini frig in the room. Nice balcony with partial view of water and lovely trees.

Cons:

They did not clean our room or change our sheets even though we were there two weeks. Our bathroom sink leaked when draining and they did not fix after we told them. The place was two very steep hills from town so need to rent scooter or car to be practical.

A place in paradise
Pros:

We lived norkeling at the reef right next to the bungalows, a beautiful underwster kaleidoscope.
Annie and the team worked hard to make it a pleasant stay, always smiling and singing in the kitchen which I am sure added to the quality of the food they served, a good variety of Indonesian specialities with a few lovely Western dishes when you need something else including great pizzas.

The hammock on our balcony was fabulous, a great place for an afternoon snooze listening to the waves.
Pele's place is only a 10min walk from the beach and other cafes and restaurants when you need a change.
Its only a short walk to the nearest diving centre that also offers snorkeling trips. 3 ATMs as well within 5mins. We stayed a week and could easily have stayed longer.

Cons:

Bring water shoes for the rocks around the reef.

Paraiso
Pros:

La ubicación para mi de lo mejor de la isla, el snorkel ahi mismo parece un acuario con coral bellísimo, el personal muy amable y con muy buena vibra y energía, te ayudan en todo, el restaurante de los mejores tmb de la isla. Si vuelvo a Pulau Weh sin duda iría a Pele’s Place!

Cons:

Nada. Todo me gusto

Super mooie tijd gehad!
Pros:

Het personeel was super lief en behulpzaam. Het eten was er heerlijk met het beste uitzicht ever. De kamers (huisjes) waren ruim en schoon. En de locatie kon niet beter. Net even weg uit de drukte van het centrum heerlijk in de rust van de natuur. Wanneer we weer naar Pulau Weh zouden gaan, staat deze zeker bovenaan om te boeken. Rondom kon je prachtig snorkelen. Een tripje naar Rubiah Island had eigenlijk niet eens gehoeven.

Cons:

Helemaal niks.

Pros:

Pelé's Place is a fantastic place to spend your holidays; the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Situated in Iboih, just outside the village, it offers all the necessary facilities, including scooter hire, a laundry service, a restaurant and plenty of peace and quiet. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Pros:

レストランのスタッフもフレンドリーでご飯もおいしかった！ロケーションも良いが、バイクが乗れれば便利だと思います。

Die Besitzerin ist sehr unverschämt,
Pros:

Nichts !!!

Cons:

Sehr enttäuschender Aufenthalt – Zimmer in unzumutbarem Zustand

Leider war unser gebuchtes Zimmer bei unserer Ankunft zunächst nicht verfügbar. Stattdessen wurde uns ein anderes Zimmer zugewiesen, das überhaupt nicht der von uns gebuchten Unterkunft entsprach. Erst nach einer Nacht konnten wir in das ursprünglich gebuchte Zimmer wechseln.

Leider war auch dieses Zimmer in einem sehr schlechten und aus unserer Sicht unzumutbaren Zustand. Im gesamten Zimmer herrschte ein starker, unangenehmer Geruch. An den Wänden und insbesondere im Badezimmer war deutlich Schimmel zu sehen. Auch die Klimaanlage verbreitete einen unangenehmen Geruch.

Aufgrund dieser Zustände haben wir uns bei der Unterkunft beschwert. Da die Chefin sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt in Frankreich befand und die Mitarbeiter vor Ort offenbar keine Entscheidungen treffen durften, mussten wir direkt mit ihr telefonieren.

Das Telefonat empfanden wir als äußerst unfreundlich und unprofessionell. Uns wurde telefonisch mitgeteilt, dass man uns nicht mehr in der Unterkunft haben möchte und wir die Unterkunft verlassen könnten. Anschließend wurde das Gespräch beendet.

Nachdem wir per WhatsApp mitgeteilt hatten, dass wir aufgrund der Zustände unser Geld zurückhaben möchten, wurden unsere Nachrichten zunächst nicht beantwortet. Später wurde bestritten, dass diese Aussage am Telefon überhaupt gemacht worden sei. Uns wurde sogar vorgeworfen, diesbezüglich zu lügen.

Besonders enttäuschend ist außerdem, dass anschließend offenbar die Behauptung aufgestellt wurde, wir seien gar nicht angereist. Das entspricht nicht den Tatsachen. Wir waren vor Ort, haben eingecheckt und dort übernachtet. Für unseren Aufenthalt liegen entsprechende Nachweise vor.

Insgesamt sind wir von unserem Aufenthalt sehr enttäuscht.

When I come back to Pulau Weh, I will definitely stay at Peles again!
Pros:

Peles Place was a super quiet retreat, since it is located in its own little bay. An amazing view from the restaurant terrace, great food, an amazing reef right in front of the terrace and a super welcoming staff that made me feel at home!

Un lloc tranquil, a la natura amb tots els serveis i a la vora del mar
Pros:

L’Ani i la resta de treballadors han estat molt agradables i atents, han fet que la nostra estada sigui fantàstica en un lloc molt tranquil, bonic i autèntic. El menjar boníssim i, a més, tenen moltes opcions. Les habitacions son amplies, netes i el llit molt còmode. Fer snorkel cada matí just davant de l’allotjament ha sigut molt divertit, hi ha una gran varietat de peixos i coralls.

Recommend the sea view rooms!
Pros:

We enjoy staying at Pele's Place for 5 nights with 2 teenagers. There is a good restaurant in the property and the food were delicious! The people were very nice and helpful! We rented the motorbike there as well.

It was okay
Pros:

That is is quiet and secluded, however, during non-peak it was not that noisy at other more convenient accommodations

Cons:

Service are rather relax, and not consistent, there are no beach, making it rather difficult to go to the sea to snorkel or swim since a lot of slippery rocks that can cause marine cuts, would be better if they make a floating platform that can go from shallow to deeper, hence bypassing the rocks, especially during shallow tide. The rooms we got also rather dated in comparison to pictures.

Pros:

Beautiful view, comfortable large rooms

Cons:

Terrible WiFi, restaurant staff are nice but hotel staff give off a negative vibe. One staff opened the balcony door into our room whilst I wasn't dressed which was very unprofessional. They should know better standards than this and respect guest privacy.

Zoek niet verder
Pros:

Zoek niet verder. Dit is 'the place to be'. Hele nette kamer met prachtig zicht op de baai. Het eten is er super lekker en je eet op het terras boven het water! Er is gratis drinkwater voorzien. Het personeel is steeds zeer vriendelijk. Je voelt je er meteen welkom. De ligging is super rustig en toch overal dichtbij. Net voor de lodge kan je heerlijk snorkelen.
Je kan er ook scooters en een kayak huren. Ze organiseren ook het vervoer van en naar de haven.

Cons:

Absoluut niks!
