Dua Putri Komodo Homestay

While it’s the Komodo Dragons that make it unique, it’s the locals that make it truly special. Great food, excellent adventure and authentic local experience.

Ci siamo trovati benissimo, soluzione spartana, ma molto accogliente. Jahiding davvero gentile e ci ha organizzato un tour di più giorni con delle guide locali sia per fare snorkeling che visitare l'isola di Komodo. Opzione valida, a nostro parere meglio delle crociere perché più flessibile. Pasti deliziosi preparati da sua moglie, ottima cuoca! Grazie alla nostra guida per l'esperienza unica e grazie ancora a Jahiding

L'emplacement du logement est au cœur du village ce qui est très agréable et une très bonne expérience. J'ai beaucoup aimé aussi vivre dans une famille à Komodo Les repas préparé étaient excellent et très copieux.

Je m'attendais à un logement très simple bien sûr et pas à du grand confort. Mais des chambres de 4m2 avec de fines cloisons en bois d'un peu plus de 2 m de haut fermée par un simple rideau c'est un peu juste. Un seul petit plaid pour 2 est un peu juste mais à ma demande j'ai pu en avoir un autre. Un WC / douche pour huit personnes est également un peu juste. Les rats dans la chambre la nuit : bof.... Le plus gros reproche finalement est le prix par rapport à la qualité du logement : beaucoup trop chèr

We spent five unforgettable days on Komodo Island, and this homestay offered the perfect opportunity to truly immerse ourselves in the life of a small fishing village. The people were wonderfully welcoming, and the children—playful, funny, and full of charm—added so much joy to our stay. Jahiding and his wife went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Each day, our homestay arranged a private boat, giving us the freedom to explore at our own pace—snorkelling with turtles and manta rays, trekking, visiting nearby islands, and soaking in the stunning natural beauty of the region. Bahari, our boat guide, was simply exceptional. Having spent his entire life here, he knew exactly where to go for the most memorable encounters. He looked after us with such care in the sea and on land, and we shared many laughs along the way—thank you, Bahari! One of the highlights was trekking through the wild landscapes in search of Komodo dragons. We were lucky enough not only to spot them but also to witness the rare sight of a mating pair—an unforgettable moment. The meals at the homestay were outstanding—fresh fish, chicken, and something different every day. The accommodation is simple but perfectly comfortable, exactly what you’d expect from a place so remote and authentic. We loved every moment of our stay here and are already hoping to return.

This place is all about the rare privilege of staying on Komodo Island and immersing yourself in local life within a small fishing village. The people are incredibly welcoming, and the children play freely—no screens in sight, just real connection and joy. We ventured beyond the village to trek through the wilderness in search of Komodo dragons—and we weren’t disappointed. We even witnessed a pair mating, which was unforgettable. Our accommodation arranged a private boat for us each day (we stayed four days), allowing us to snorkel, trek, visit turtles and manta rays, explore nearby islands, and experience all the region’s natural highlights at our own pace. Harri, who looked after us on the boat, was fantastic—having spent his whole life in the area, he knew exactly where to go for the best sights and encounters. The food at our homestay was exceptional—fresh fish straight from the local boats every day. Accommodation is basic by Western standards, but comfortable enough—just make sure to bring insect repellent. Also, bring cash if you'd like to enjoy a beer—a large Bintang costs around 75k IDR—and don’t expect shops or amenities; this is a truly remote experience. Jahiding and his wife went above and beyond to make us feel at home. This isn't about five-star luxury or being herded around on crowded tour boats. It’s about embracing a different pace and way of life, and truly experiencing what it’s like to live here. We absolutely loved it.

Nothing

The breakfast and dinner cooked by the wife was very good. The accommodation was close to the harbour. Free clean drinkable water fountain. The effort of the host, even though he was not the most friendly person we have met so far travelling Indonesia. He still tried and helped us organise a day trip.

We didn’t expect much, as it is how you see it on the pictures. But sadly it was really dirty. All the rooms were booked and 8 people used the “bathroom” and the communal area and no one cleaned anything on the day after. In our “room” was a lot of hair on the floor. The pillows were hard like rocks, there was not even a sheet to use as a blanket and only one towel provided for 2 people. We booked 3 nights and left one night before.

This is a true homestay, Jahiding and family is a true host. He organised all our tours and organised for taxi to pick us up from the airport and boat to take us to the island. He is very knowledgeable about Komodo Dragon and very helpful. His wife is a fantastic cook and the fish is very fresh and taste so good. He is very prompt in answering any queries which is very helpful. His homestay is comfortable, clean and close to the pier. This is a homestay is situated in a small village so you can see many goats and chicken are running around. It is wonderful to experience a simple lifestyle without any gadgets, TV or computers, There is only one bathroom so U need to share with others. The best part is there aren't many mosquitoes, ants or flies. We enjoyed our time in this homestay and we all had a wonderful time in Komodo Island. If you are looking to stay in Komodo island, I highly recommend this place. We were able to explore the neighbouring islands and made two trips to the Komodo National park and on each occasions we saw many Komodo dragons which is really a BIG bonus.

We wish there is a basin in the homestay.

Struttura basica nel centro del villaggio (non affaccia sul mare), comunque pulita. È molto cara per lo standard, consiglio sicuramente ai gruppi perché ci sono più camere da letto, ma è necessario un elevato spirito di adattamento. Peró siete a casa di una guida del parco che saprà accompagnarvi per vedere i draghi in tranquillità, scattandovi anche magnifiche fotografie.

Avrei preferito l’affaccio sul mare, anche se nell’isola il mare è sporchissimo e mette tanta tristezza! Non consiglio di andare in solitaria come me perché il noleggio di una barca per visitare le isole vicine è elevato, bisogna poter dividere il costo.
