RedDoorz at Tanakatto Homestay Waikabubak

Everything was great, nice and cozy, comfortable room.

As everything in Sumba (no idea why) it's fairly expensive.

Value for the money was in comparison to another place in Sumba not good at all. Staff didn't want to give us breakfast because we booked via booking.com Really strange

Very central

The room smelled so bad that I left after 1 night, very noisy because close to the street

Basic hotel. Nice people.

the shower was smelly and humid

Good location, lovely staff, decent breakfast.

When we checked in the room, the smell there was super bad (coming from restroom and moldy walls). We asked the receptionist to change the room, and they kindly agree to do so. Next room did not have that smell, however the pillow cases were stained with blood and the bed sheets were stained yellow too. The room had mold, the restroom seemed outdated. The bed mattress was so uncomfortable, with some holes inside, and the bed itself was extremely squeaky (many times waking up turning around). It’s a cheap place, however for this money was expecting way more (at least some clean sheets).

Not much to be liked. It's not bad, but really low standard. OK for backpackers.

Last resort if other hotels are booked in the area.

A large, clean room with hot water and a decent breakfast. The best thing was the hospitality, especially the owner (I think her name is Tia) and her nephew, Bintang, who both spoke good English (a luxury in these parts 😃). They were very helpful in organising onward transport and getting a scooter to hire (not as easy as I thought in Waikabubak).

Location close to restaurants Staff was nice and helpful

We had room 6 at first, it had smelly pipes in the bathroom, covered with Febreze The lower part of the bed was lower than the rest of the bed, and we could hear the motor of the heater above our heads We were offered to move to room 2 but the smell was the same and we could hear the traffic noise from the street much more so we stayed in room 6 The following day, we were able to move to room 8, where there was less noise, no bad smell, and a better bed. The toilet seat was broken though but they replaced it quickly Breakfast options are not great

in the city center. breakfast included it is okay place to stay for a night or two

staff unfortunatly don’t speak english, except one lady, so hope that she will be there. bathroom would need some renovations

This was good value for Sumba. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Everything worked in the room except the tv. The location was excellent with lots of interesting places within walking distance and some good nearby warungs.
