Arnolds Familly homestay

Great host. Clean room. Great breakfast. If you choose a homestay it’s because you want to experience how people in that place live. I believe this place gives you exactly that. Keep in mind it may not be as comfortable as you expect

Just don’t expect anything close to western standards for the bathroom. Hot water? Forget it, forget running water as well. Keep in mind that it’s quite normal for Bajawa, except for hotels maybe. You have to flush the toilet by pouring water inside yourself, true Flores style.

We loved our stay at Arnold’s! The room is very clean and comfortable. The location is great, with a delicious Warung just in front of the house. Breakfast was great. But most importantly, Arnold and his family were very welcoming and made us feel at home. Arnold used to be a guide so he has a lot of interesting information to share about Badjawa and Flores :)

Arnold and his family are very kind, the bedroom is big and clean, the toilet is simple (bucket shower) but clean and comfortable. Arnold is happy to guide you or to organize visits of the Bajawa region.

We loved the host Arnold and his family, they were really welcoming, told us a lot about the culture, region & activities to do. The property is nicely located in the centre with restaurants on walking distance.

There was nothing we disliked, but good to be mindful that you stay in a separate room in the hosts’ home, and you share the bathroom/facilities with the family.

Arnold was a fabulous host … he’s really helpful and friendly. He organised a whole trip for us! I would definitely recommend his homestay … it’s good value for money, simple and comfortable.

Everything was great!

The best thing about the property is Arnold! He is incredibly helpful and full of recommendations for your time in Bajawa. Arnold organised our scooters for us, our day in the neighbouring mountains, our hike up Mount Inerie, lunch and dinner recommendations, and our transport back to Labuan Bajo. Our bedroom and bed were both very comfortable, and his home is in a great location.

Arnolds is a great host, providing information and making sure you are ok. He speaks great English and is very knowledgeable about Flores, so a great option if you are looking for a family Homestay and learn more about the island.

Everything. Arnold went out of his way to make sure my trip was perfect. He is also a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable of the surrounding area. He planned my trip to perfection, at very honest and reasonable prices. I only wish I spent more time in the area since there is so much to see. Between native villages, volcanoes and idyllic hot springs, I felt I was in a national geogeaphic documentary. Arnold's guesthouse is very comfortable, extremely clean and the breakfast cooked by his wife Maria is simply the best. Those pancakes will leave you wanting more. Thank you so much again Arnold for planning the perfect trip and sharing your knowledge and culture with me. I will be back soon to go to 17 islands! 🙏

Having to leave! I should have spent more time in Bajawa.

Super helpful hosts. The rooms and the facilities were clean, and the atmosphere was amazing. will definitely visit again in the future.

The breakfast was basic but nice. The owners where very friendly!

Thee was no shower.
