Sumba Beach House

Location just wow!! Staff amazing . Luxury on the beach

This isn’t a minus in any way but be aware there are no shops anywhere near- food choices are sufficient but not huge .

The location you can’t beat with the sand a few steps away. Watching buffalo striding by was amazing Our room was delightful Lovely restaurant , food was great. Would love to see fresh fish on the menu. The staff here are warm and friendly. As are the beautiful animals

Nothing

Great location. Amazing to sit and watch the comings and goings of local life on the beach all day. Pretty special, simple little hotel.

The staff and the vibe directly at the beach. Good food, good internet! Nice and clean rooms, good air con.

When we arrived, we were informed that there are renovations going on. Which of course, is the last thing you want to hear when arriving at a new hotel during your holiday. The hotel is smaller than we expected, or at least what the images suggested. From the pictures, we also expected the pool to be bigger. It is basically 5 rooms in a row directly next to each other, with the restaurant and pool area in front of it. I think the bathrooms should be improved privacy wise. They are semi open, and like I said directly next to each. You can hear everything… Additionally the laundry room was directly behind them. So whilst sitting on the toilet, you can watch the staff folding towels. As other guests suggested, the price / performance ratio is off… Especially without breakfast included. However, from my experience, the price/performance ratio is not quite right in sumba in general. Especially in Westsumba. Perhaps, that will change in the coming years with more tourism coming and more mid-range hotels being build. Beach right in front of the hotel, bit difficult for swimming.

Great location and friendly staff! The decor also honoured local culture!

- friendly team on site - super location - everything in great shape - nice food

- price quality relation a bit tense - it felt at times that there was not really a manager on site - the tour pricing and itinerary was opaque. Our guide never guided us, he took another group of 4 people on a slightly different trip. We only saw him at lunch and on parking spots. Hence we were left with a not really English speaking Driver, who was super nice. Still, the hotel for this price point should check who they work with and make sure what is promised is delivered. - the first night we slept in a different room with the bathroom being under construction. We paid the exact same as for the room next door which was completed. Would expect a commercial gesture.

great location and good vibes

This is a stunning setting right on the beach front in the exclusive bay in SW Sumba that is shared with other renowned properties. It is very much an area for surfers - we were here to chill and enjoy. You need transport to move beyond the hotel but applies for all of Sumba snd there is always someone to organise that. Food we very well prepared snd had enough variety and a good price. Rooms were delightful and very beachy!

Nothing - be prepared for the remoteness . But that’s the attraction of travel in Sumba

The Beach House is just by the beach. Sleeping by the ocean with the sound of the waves was very calming experience. Considering how less hotels are in this region, this place is 10/10. Clean, helpful staffs, reasonable food prices, great waves, beautiful location.
