Guest Reviews

• Darren (10/5): - Just amazing the views that you get from the pool and dining area are just wow
• Wing Yuen (8/5): - Great for photos at their property and local breakfast like nasi goreng is super tasty!
• Diane (8/5): - Free airport transfers were advertised but the airport pick-up wasn't there when I arrived so I had to get a taxi. The hotel has stunning views of the harbour but the trade off is it is at the top of a steep hill.
• Rod (10/5): - Fantastic Sunsets from my room and restaurant!! ,which offset the stall-less shower. Air conditioning struggled to keep up with the >100 heat index. The staff knew me and greeted me at every turn and attended to all of my needs.
• jukka (10/5): Great place - Service, staff, friendliness and everything was great. They also have best view to town and for sunset.
• Vania (10/5): - This place exceeded our expectations! The hospitality and welcome we received was unmatched. We went on the hunt of the best beaches on the island to learn that we were already there, all we had to do was open our front door. What an experience! Thank you for making this trip a dream!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Mittelmaß - Das Hotel liegt wunderschön auf einem Hügel über Labuan Bajo, eine kurze Strecke vom Flughafen entfernt. Hier hat man eine tolle Aussicht aufs Meer und schöne Sonnenuntergänge. Wir hatten ein Deluxe Seaview Room, was allerdings sehr spärlich und einfach in seiner Ausstattung war. Das Doppelbett ist sehr klein, mit einer harten Matratze. Das Essen war gut und kann empfohlen werden. Der Pool ist etwas unterhalb, aber sehr schön und groß. Bei Ankunft um 17:30 Uhr war tatsächlich unser Zimmer noch nicht fertig. Wir mussten eine halbe Stunde warten, dann sogar die Handtücher wechseln lassen, weil unsere leider dreckig waren. Einmal war das Zimmer nachmittags immer noch nicht geputzt worden, obwohl wir sonziemlich die einzigen Gäste waren. Ich musste dann nochmals nachfragen, dann wurde es erst gereinigt. Absolut unglaublich war für uns, dass wir einen Mitarbeiter dabei beobachten konnten, wie er unterhalb der Balkone eine tote Katze vergraben hatte. Der Verwesungsgeruch war sogar beim Frühstück auf der oberen Terasse zu riechen. So eine Aktion ist nicht nachzuvollziehen und wir können dieses Hotel nur als „durchschnittlich“ bewerten.
• André (8/5): Skøn udsigt - Fantastisk beliggenhed med storslående udsigt over havet og solnedgang. Ligger meget komfortabelt kun 5 min kørsel fra lufthavnen og 5 min kørsel fra havnen. De fleste er her for at tage til komodo. Gode retter i restauranten. Værelset var fint og vi havde skøn udsigt derfra, badeværelset var dog ret slidt. De glemte housekeeping den ene dag. Meget værdi for pengene

• Jennifer (10/5): - Outstanding views and service. Food was delicious. Our room was basic but the grounds, staff, and views more than made up for it. Plus you can’t expect room perfection at this price point. A five minute ride from the airport was great too.
• Tuan (10/5): Beautiful view - Love the location, the view, the service, the food.
• Kirn (8/5): Good food - Staff were super - though had limited knowledge of English. Superb views and good food
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel is perched on top of a hill , stunning views from bedrooms and common areas - very friendly staff - eager to help and attentive though English limited. If you think you are going to a quiet hotel away from the town, it has music thumping from neighbouring properties until midnight. Even if you complain they can’t do anything. Overall value for money as it is quite dated and could do with modernisation! Good food and service
• Jason (10/5): - Great place to stay for a night or two. Great views. Great pool. Great staff
• Kimberly (8/5): - Staff were wonderful. Beautiful views and sunset. Pool was great. Everyone made our stay wonderful
• Aaron (8/5): - Breathtaking views and nice rooms. The property is away from the city. It is a bit dated and could use some updates. The restaurant has amazing views of Labuan Bajo and is the best for sunsets. The food was great. Unfortunately, we encountered a lot of smokers.
• Kennie (2/5): - I booked a deluxe sea view double bed room on Expedia. When I showed up at the hotel, they claimed I was booked for a worse room without a view (garden view). Not only that, they put me in a twin room with small twin beds and they said I would have to change rooms on my third night and final night of my stay, which as anyone knows, is a big inconvenience. So, I had to argue with them and get Expedia to help me get the deluxe sea view room I booked and paid for. I spent the first hour killing countless mosquitoes, flies, spiders, cockroaches, and caterpillars. I understand it’s the wild tropics, but the staff clearly put no effort into pest control. There were huge gaps between the front and rear doors and the floors underneath them, allowing any bugs to waltz in. Every time I left the room for a few hours I would return to see loads of bugs, mostly centipedes/millipedes and mosquitoes. Same goes for every morning I woke up. I killed 100 bugs during my 3 day stay. I spoke with other visitors on my boat tour the next day, and they all said that there were few or no bugs in their hotel rooms at different hotels. The staff are nice and always smile and greet you, but unfortunately they aren’t very good at cleaning, pest control, or keeping reservations organized. Internet was very spotty and rarely worked. Internet didn't work most of the time.
• NUKE (10/5): - All staff are nice & friendly! very helpful and smile!
• Jeff (6/5): Great view but very isolated. - The view over the harbor is unbeatable. And the price reflects that. The rooms are spacious and the staff helpful. However because it’s on a hill, it’s rather isolated and it costs 70,000 rupiah (one way) to get into the town for dining. There are no taxis in Labuan Bajo. The hotel provides free pick up and drop off only to the airport. The hot water seems to last for a maximum of 10 mins, unfortunately.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Happy Stay - It has a great view and comfortable room.
• gary (10/5): Pelabuan Bajo - This is the best view ever. The sunsets from the deck were indescribable. The food was good and the staff were excellent
• nils (8/5): - The view is amazing. Pool is nice, but a bit shallow. Good food. Friendly staff. Bathroom tends to get a bit smelly
• HdotR (10/5): - Amazing views. The staff was very nice and helpful as well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The view, the staff, and proximity to airport, these were the good things.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - Hotel room is spacious and staff are friendly and helpful. The view is really great at the hotel pool and cafe. Location is far from jetty, but free shuttle service is available.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - They would ahave got a 5 stars if the shower didnt keep flooding the room. No hob to stop water leaving bathroom. Make sure you book a ocean fiew otherwise you will be in a room with no windows or balcony
• Andre (10/5): Really Nice Hotel, - Very nice hotel with friendly staff, good rooms and beautiful views over the bay and Flores Sea. Really nice treat after or before you go to Komodo. A bit more on the expensive side compared to other options but from my opinion it’s worth it. Food is ok, there are other options in the town.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The rooms were quite nice for the price. The view from the hotel is outstanding. What an amazing place to be at sunset. The food at the restaurant was very nice, good price for food and drinks. Very helpful and friendly staff. I would stay there again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing views and service! We were so happy staying here and would definitely recommend this place. heir in-house breakfast is also super yummy! Only thing that could be improved was the breakfast box that they pack for you when going on cruises.
• Maegan (10/5): Great place! - Great view, friendly staff, and very accommodating! It is a little further out of town, up on a hill, but nothing too far. It is worth it for the view, I think!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful view! Nice and breezy. Shuttle driver. For airport and to central town
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff were so friendly and helpful it was a pleasure to stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic view, welcoming staff, clean and comfortable room. Some might find it a little challenging with the wet bathroom, as in shower next to toilet without curtain. But it’s no big deal. They offer yoga by the pool and more importantly unbeatable sunset!
• Robert (2/5): Stay Elsewhere - Horrible hotel with horrible staff. I would stay elsewhere. Way overpriced.
• Courtney (10/5): Great views - Gorgeous views from hotel room and eating area.The rooms and hotel could use some updating but overall we enjoyed our time here.
• Heather (10/5): - The staff could not do any more to make you feel welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The views from the hotel are amazing and add to an already lovely experience. Food is excellent and there is shuttle service available for airport and trips to town (only a twelve min walk to airport and 20 mins wall into town). A few elements of the hotel are tired and need updating /refreshing and housekeeping sometimes forgot to replace things our room, however, this was quickly addressed upon request.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was beautifully situated and had all the amenities we needed to make it perfect for us!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved this hotel! We've spent most of our trip in 4 and 5 star hotels and this was on par for the location! The pool and view were incredible. Room was sufficient, just very basic.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful views and friendly staff. A little hike into town but there is a shuttle twice daily provided by the hotel.
• Lauren (8/5): Lovely spot above Labuan Bajo - Overall a very good stay. La Cecile is located a nice distance from the noise and chaos of town but is a quick 15-20 minute walk to the main street. The pool is lovely and the sunset views are spectacular. The restaurant is ok, but you can find much better food in town. The front desk staff are always available and very helpful, but I would not take their advice about things like tour companies and where to rent a scooter. You do better to research for yourself. A few small things ... the wifi is poor, my tv did not work, and my room door would not lock. Not big issues for me, but these things might bother some people. Overall a very nice stay and I would recommend it.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - great view & pool. requires more shade to pool area. would have liked a fridge in room.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful view and comfortable room - Fantastic view over Labuan Bajo and out towards Komodo National Park. Service was excellent, and room was very clean with a comfortable bed. The included a-la carte breakfast was yummy and very substantial. We stayed here both before and after our dive trip to Komodo. Getting to town is either an easy 15-20 minute walk downhill or a quick ride.
• RAJENDRA (6/5): La Cacile - The view of harbor is good. Food sub standard and there is no other option as it is far from town.
• Verified traveler (8/5): I’d stay again. - Nice hotel, great view. Nowhere to walk to.
• Mary (10/5): - The hotel was lovely and had a great pool with a view. It is outside the main town, which is good. I spent one night downtown and woke up several times due to boats and the call to prayer. La Cecile was much quieter, but the call to prayer will likely still wake you up around 430. The best part about the hotel were the people. All the staff were helpful and nice. Transportation to the airport was included. The restaurant was good and I really enjoyed the breakfast that was included. My room had a balcony with a good view.
• Allan (10/5): Wonderful views - La Cecile is a new hotel. Great view -location fine as they offer a shuttle service for getting up and down the hill.......Our room was comfortable and well appointed -enjoyed sitting in the sun on the small deck opening onto the garden. Great pool - swim with a view. Breakfasts are excellent -as is the restaurant for lunches/dinners. The staff are all extremely cheerful and helpful. very efficient. Would highly recommend.
• sylvie (8/5): Fantastic views and excellent ,friendly staff - Newly built hotel with beautiful views overlooking the port and sea. Great infinity pool and the staff are excellent and friendly. Free shuttle at set times to the main town but you can also walk down. Nice ambience and lovely to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main town but. Still within walking distance.
• DAOYUN (10/5): - Hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly, especially the reception. We had a great time there
• Anita (10/5): We loved the Manggarai friendliness - The room was clean. The view was super great. The hotel staff were extraordinary. We loved the Manggarai friendliness of the staff. But the wifi connection did not work in our room (111).
• Verity (8/5): Lovely hotel with really fantastic staff. - We stayed in a garden view room which was a decent size and had an ensuite loo / wet room. Bed was comfy and air con worked really well however we could not get any Wi-Fi in our room which was a little disappointing. Although the hotel feels far from the main street there is a free shuttle service which was perfect for us. The pool is fabulous and overlooks the bay with gorgeous views. Unfortunately we felt a little uncomfortable at the pool as people (I think locals?) were taking pictures and videos of us from the bar area, with one woman putting her camera phone in my face and laughing!? We went on a tour that left early in the morning and the staff were very helpful putting together a take away breakfast for us. In fact throughout our whole stay the staff were very attentive and gave fantastic service. Food at the hotel is also excellent and we loved the spring rolls!! Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone staying in the area.
