An unplanned extended stay
Pros:

The garden and private sitting area are lovely. The woman is lovely as well. She makes you coffee or tea, a banana pancake, and a banana juice for breakfast. I was also immediately offered coffee or tea when I arrived on a cold night. I was pretty comfortable here and the value for money is quite good. The place is clean and has excellent WiFi. A wardrobe to unpack your belongings. The location is great. Just a 7 minute walk to the main street that has a proper cafe and several restaurants and warungs. I extended 2 more nights since there was no point in riding to Kelimutu anymore due to the earthquake closure.

Cons:

Not a big deal but just be aware that you need to ask for a hot shower about 20 - 30 minutes beforehand.
The room is a bit cold but that’s just the way it is in Ruteng. Was glad to have an extra blanket provided in the room.

Un buen lugar en Bajawa
Pros:

La casa de huéspedes se encuentra al lado de la casa de Marcelino y Emilia. Emilia es la que gestiona las tres habitaciones ocupándose de todo con cariño y profesionalidad. Las habitaciones son muy básicas pero decentes y al pedirlo con media hora de antelación se puede aprovechar la ducha caliente. Las noches son silenciosas y por el día el jardín es tranquilo y soleado. La ubicación es fantastica, a unas pocas decenas de metros de la calle principal, pero protegida de los ruidos del tráfico. Me dejaron utilizar la cocina y la nevera y adaptaron el desayuno a mis exigencias. La presencia de Emilia me ayudó a mirar allá de la realidad.

Pros:

Excellent petit-déjeuner, meilleur banana pancakes de notre séjour à Flores, avec un smoothie de papaye et une boisson chaude
Il n’y a que trois chambres dans l’homestay, c’est donc calme
Possibilité de louer un scooter
Marselino et sa famille sont très gentils et prêts à aider à tout moment
Svp, faites plein de câlins à la chienne blanche Dori, qui est si mignonne !
