Komodo Shores Homestay

This place honestly far exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect and just a quick 5 min walk into town, but on the quiet street. Our room had a little view of the harbor too! The AC worked so well. The breakfast was great (delicious pancakes, banana, fried rice/noodles) and they allowed us to take it early due to needing to meet at the dive shop at 7am. The staff was super nice too!

The cold shower, but we expected that coming in.

The room was clean and near to sunset by the sea view. Interesting environment but too minimum facilities.

Only accept cash payment. There were mosquitoes in the room, got bitten during sleep. The bed was noisy, fan control not working, toilet flushing was difficult, no shampoo, no drinking water in the room. Breakfast can be better tasting and better choices.

Nice hostel with very friendly staff next door and great breakfast included. All very well organized. Many great places to relax. But: The noise from the mosque was incredibly loud! It started just after 4 am in the night and lasted for maybe 30 minutes. Even with earplugs I woke up each of my 5 nights. I booked a seaview room but didn't get one. In fact there is only one with a little bit of seaview.

Staff very helpful and restaurant on site

If you want a decent nights sleep then be aware the call to prayer plays through a speaker right by the upstairs rooms. We were woken at 4am each morning.

The Homestay is a part of La Boheme hostel which is 20 meters away. The hostel looks really cool inside and there is a nice atmosphere. The Homestay itself is not that interesting. The staff were amazing, friendly, kind, and helpful. Location perfect, near to the main street.

It wasn’t perfectly clean - there was something in our sink. There is no hot water, although it wasn’t an issue as it’s really hot and the water gets naturally pretty warm.

• The hotel seems to employ only younger staff, which initially gives a positive impression but quickly reveals significant issues. There is a clear lack of professionalism, customer service skills, and problem-solving abilities. While some of the staff are friendly, at least one member (who we believe is in a leadership position) is extremely rude and even disrespectful. It is evident that the team urgently needs supervision and guidance from more experienced adults. • There was no hot water in the room. When we requested a kettle to warm water, we eventually received one, but this is unacceptable for basic comfort in a hotel. • The hostel organizes activities, but we had a very poor experience when booking one. If you want to participate in activities, we strongly recommend arranging them directly with an external agency. The hostel’s organization is unreliable, and they fail to deliver on promises. Their only focus seems to be collecting money and taking commissions, with no regard for quality or customer satisfaction. Once again, this reflects the lack of experience and responsibility from a team composed entirely of young staff.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Nice that you can use the hostel facilities. Perfect location!!

Very noisy if you're in the bottom rooms so be sure to request an upstairs room or you'll hear everything your neighbours are doing

The staff were very friendly, cheerful and helpful. They interact with the guests and make the place feel like home. The location is great and it has a fun and relaxed vibe.

Breakfast was pancakes, bread, fried rice and fruit. Fine if you eat wheat but I don't so I was limited to rice and fruit. The second room stayed in smelled slightly musty.
