Manulalu Jungle

By far the best thing was the stunning view of Mount Emery and the valley. Considering this was a good half an hour ride from Bajawa it is an exceptionally stunning property to experience living in a jungle away from the hustle bustle. Pretty much communication with us was over WhatsApp in terms of our needs and requirements which worked in some ways and not so much in other ways.

We were very surprised that there was no shuttle available to take us to 1 km between the accommodation and the restaurant. The only facility was for the staff to ride you up and down on their scooters which was very difficult considering it was raining a lot of the time we were even stranded in our accommodation and unable to get to the restaurant at one point because of the weather this made things very difficult. Unfortunately, this wasn’t communicated to us prior to booking the accommodation that the car was out of service and had gone for maintenance. Also the shower in the bathroom was very poor and lacked hot water to have a warm shower there poor room service as well so we found ourselves constantly having to ask for the basics such as a refill of teabags, hand towel and soap. Despite the lack of a shuttle they were charging extra to have a lunch and dinner transported from the restaurant to your jungle accommodation which we thought wasn’t fair considering they weren’t providing a service that they had promised they would .

Hele leuke locatie midden in de jungle. In het restaurant een super mooi uitzicht op de vulkaan. Het is wel een wandelingetje om daar te komen.

Het wordt niet heel goed onderhouden.

Die Lage mitten im Wald war traumhaft. Ein toller Ausblick und viel Ruhe.

Was etwas schade war, war dass es wenig Essensangebot für Vegetarier gab. Zudem hatten wir das Gefühl, dass alles etwas teurer war, als in der Stadt (Roller mieten, essen, usw.) und man ebenfalls auch recht teure Taxifahrten angewiesen ist, wenn man nicht selbst mit einem Roller anfährt.

Wir hatten einen wirklich wundervollen Aufenthalt. Die Aussicht aus den Bungalow ist atemberaubend und wir waren selten in so einer tollen Unterkunft. Wer etwas besonderes sucht, wird hier fündig. Die Häuser sind wahnsinnig groß & mit Liebe eingerichtet. Ein Highlight ist vor allem die riesige Terrasse.

Es hätte ein bisschen sauberer sein können. Bei unserer Ankunft waren einige tote Tiere im Haus.

The views are amazing and the hut including the terrace is quite spacious.

Food in the restaurant is just average. They have a lot of potential with the stunning location and big kitchen.

Beautiful view from accommodation and we walked to Restaurant 1km had a very delicious meal and drinks - service was very quick and staff offered a lift back on scooter to accommodation but we decided to walk again only took us 10min but you will need your phone torch. View of Volcanoe terrific from Restaurant

Las vistas, son increibles. Y el bungalow muy bonitos

Fuimos en Noviembre i hay infinidad de mosquitos. Por supuesto, eso no es culpa del hotel. Estas en medio de la jungla y es normal. El problema está en que las puertas del bungalow no cierran bien. Por debajo pasa la mano entera. Por lo que pueden entrar mosquitos libremente… El restaurante es precioso, pero la comida muy mal. Nos hicieron una “torrija” que la llaman jungle toast, que tenia sabor a producto de limpieza/lejía… muy mal

Bungalow molto belli e immersi nella natura. Molto spaziosi e curati con anche un patio molto ampio. Il personale gentilissimo e disponibile per risolvere qualsiasi inconveniente. data la distanza tra le camere e il ristorante, è presente un servizio in camera molto rapido ed efficiente. Dal ristorante la vista sul vulcano è spettacolare.

La distanza tra i bungalow e il ristorante/reception rappresenta un po' una scomodità, anche se hanno attivato un servizio navetta (in scooter) e c'è comunque l'opzione di farsi recapitare colazione e cena in camera.

Very nice location with stunning view on the vulcano. Really beautiful accommodation, well equipped with mosquito nets, repellent, water cooker, comfortable beds and friendly helpful staff. Surrounded by beautyfull and well maintained gardens. Great to have the option to have breakfast into the bungalow and also to have dinner delivered to the bungalow.

The bungalow was not so very clean, for accommodation such as this and the higher price compared to other places, we have stayed across Indonesia, this was not up to the expected level. When arriving the toilet seat was covered with wet brown spots and the toilet bin with poo of the previous guests. There are just too many things not clean: dirty and ripped mosquito nets, black stains on the towels and bed sheets, shower could be better cleaned, windows full of greasy finger stains, curtains dirty and unironed hanging messy around. This took somehow what the 'wow-feeling' away of the place. We asked 3 times for delivery of our food to the room, which is great to have, but 3 times they forgot parts or our entire delivery...which ended up waiting more than 1 hour for our food. One day we received a lunch box for our hike and the bananas had worms in them... The place just screams for more hygiene
