4 Pohon - Les 4 Arbres

quiet and relaxing location, cool concept, the owner is very friendly and has many interesting stories to tell about life in indonesia as an european and traveling. clean room and bathroom.

the food was OK (breakfast was very good) and a bit overpriced but understandable as they have to drive very far to get the ingredients. was missing toilet paper although the bathroom was clean.

It is an extremely interesting lodge, with colorful cabins. The location makes the place. You’re surrounded by a beautiful landscape, close to the river and private beaches. Olivier, his family and the staff are great hosts! And his small warung has one of the best food I’ve tried.

We had a lovely 2 nights in 4P with the charming proprietor Olivier who is very happy to explain everything and treats guests like they were part of the family. It is a special, peaceful place, pretty much off grid, as is Olivier in his heart. Due to river course changes following a flood some years back there is now no direct river access, but Olivier and his crew drove us 10 minutes down the road to the head of the river where we had a wonderful few hours on the kayak paddling upstream and back again, HIGHLY recommended, we could have spent all day there (they will make a packed lunch if you like). Food was tasty albeit there is no menu, Olivier just asks what you would like to eat! One day they baked fresh bread which we were delighted with after a solid week of rice on Flores. Our room was basic but comfortable with a nice veranda. Olivier makes his own conserves and fruit syrups, as well as the highest quality dried spices such as vanilla, and also wild honey which we liked so much we purchased a jar off him. Also the homemade ice cream was a huge treat! Thank you to the family and staff for making us feel totally at home, we wish we had stayed longer. There is no WiFi but really that's kind of the point. NB the road both east and west is good asphalt, save for a few km directly to the west through the village. It took us about 45 mins to get to Riung afterwards.

The bathroom facilities are pretty basic, with a toilet you "flush" yourself with a bucket and little hot water in the shower (only what comes from the sun). The room isn't glazed so insects can enter but also the friendly gecko and bats who eat them, so problem solved!

We liked everything ! This place is absolutely amazing ! Olivier and Renssa are such fantastic people . The room are nice very well equiped ! The kitchen and the shower are amazing. You should Definitely go through 4 Pohon to live the experience of freedom
