Pleasant stay with hearty breakfast.
Pros:

Clean and spacious room with a hearty breakfast, we ate a good and healthy breakfast. No television and wifi was provided. Toothbrushes with toothpaste were there in the toilet. With the price charged, I could say that it’s worth staying in.

Cons:

I did not have anything to complain about as the price is very reasonable too but basic needs were met. The prop provided us with 2 water bottles but no kettle was provided.

Séjour ok
Pros:

Étrange hôtel, où on a jamais parlé à personne et on se sentait toujours très seuls livrés à nous même. Ça passe mais rien de charmant, ce côté dormir dans un musée nous avons plu mais on ne sent rien.

Super séjour au musée
Pros:

Rumah Budaya Sumba est en fait un musée, les chambres sont dans la cour et donnent sur le jardin ce qui est très chouette. Les chambres sont spacieuses, très propres, il y a la clim mais pas de frigo, chaque chambre a un petit banc devant pour profiter de l'extérieur. J'ai adoré mon séjour ici. C'est très calme. Le personnel était très accueillant bien qu'ils ne parlent pas trop anglais. On m'a fait visiter le musée gratuitement et on m'a recommandé quelques endroits à voir, dont la ferme de cashew juste à côté (le lait de noix de cajou est à tester !). J'avais loué un scooter à l'aéroport à mon arrivée, ce qui était bien pratique car le seul inconvénient c'est que le musée est un peu loin de tout, il faut absolument un transport. Si on demande, ils peuvent faire à manger pour diner et je crois pour le déjeuner aussi. C'est un endroit parfait pour visiter les alentours de Tambolaka.

Super établissement
Pros:

J'ai réservé un second séjour dans cet établissement, toujours aussi propre, calme, accueillant. J'adore cet endroit. Je suis arrivée dans l'après midi et il pleuvait beaucoup. J'ai demandé si je pouvais diner et on m'a dit oui, c'était parfait.

Gute Ider im Museum zu wohnen, aber erst prüfen ob irgendjemand da ist
Pros:

Der Pool ist herrlich! Gross und auch tief, tolles Wasser
Direkt neben dem Hotel (auf Schleichweg erreichbar) ist die Rettung: https://www.talasi.com/visit-talasi-weetabula-sumba-2/
Da habe es wifi, Kaffee (vom aller aller allerfeinsten! Sogar Latte!) Schatten, leckere cashew pancakes, herrliches Ambiente, liebenswerte junge Menschen, die englisch sprechen - und eine Mahlzeit
Nichts von alledem gab es im Rumah

Cons:

Leer

Pros:

This was a nice stay - interesting museum - organise a tour and donate as it’s not always open and I think it’s a private collection???

It’s very quiet and far from town so a scooter is recommended

There is also a great cashew farm up the road within walking distance that has great coffee and delicious cashew milk which we enjoyed hot and cold (try both!)

Pros:

Posizione comoda vicino all’aeroporto. La stanza si trova all’interno di un museo, luogo davvero suggestivo. Noi non abbiamo incontrato nessuno, se non una ragazza che ci ha dato le chiavi e un’altra che la mattina dopo ci ha indicato la stanza della colazione, che era molto buona!

Cons:

Niente, come da descrizione

Super Preis - Leistungs - Verhältnis, sauber, empfehlenswert.
Pros:

Sehr grosse und geräumige Zimmer. Unterkunft ist sehr sauber. Nachts ruhige Umgebung. Durften unser Gepäck über mehrere Tage lagern. Personal spricht zwar kein englisch, ist aber sehr hilfsbereit und bemüht bei Anliegen.

Cons:

Das erste Zimmer hatte nur kalt Wasser zum duschen. WiFi ist nicht sehr gut. Es gibt indonesisches Frühstück, wer kein Reis mag kann Eier und Früchte essen.
