Guest Reviews

• Lina (7/5): En résumé, cet hôtel a un cadre et un personnel remarquables, mais l’entretien, les installations et certains services s - Le cadre de cet hôtel est tout simplement idyllique : des vues magnifiques et des villas très esthétiques qui promettent un séjour paradisiaque. Le personnel est exceptionnellement gentil et réactif, ce qui est un vrai point positif. Malheureusement, plusieurs aspects m’ont laissé une impression mitigée. Les villas sont belles mais souffrent d’un manque évident d’entretien : rideaux usés, moustiquaires déchirées, et certaines villas sont même penchées à cause d’un éboulement sur le site. La villa dans laquelle nous étions offrait peu d’intimité, avec du vis-à-vis direct avec le voisin, ce qui n’est pas ce qu’on recherche lorsqu’on réserve une villa avec piscine privée. Le restaurant n’est pas digne d’un 5 étoiles, et la salle de sport est décevante : équipements très limités, certains ne fonctionnent pas, locaux sales, peinture inachevée et aucun matériel pour nettoyer après usage. Nous avons également fait une excursion via l’hôtel, mais le guide était en réalité un simple taxi, ce qui n’était pas très professionnel car il ne nous expliquer rien et nous laisser seuls sauf quand on demander.La plage privée est superbe, avec des huttes face à la mer, mais laissée à l’abandon : bars fermés, tables rangées, ce qui empêche vraiment de profiter de l’endroit.
• Edwin (10/5): 10/10 - The people working here are the most lovely people you will meet. They go above and beyond for you. Would definitely recommend the dinner on the beach if possible. That was one of our highlights. Also the excursions and day trips are a must! We also strongly recommend the spa! One of the best massages we had! Felt so relaxed afterwards. We stayed in the pool villa which had a beautiful view on the ocean and a really nice infinity pool which was really clean and well kept. The room was more than we expected. Also the food in the restaurant was really good, strongly recommend the Ayam Taliwang if you like Indonesian food. Thanks for sharing this piece of paradise with us. We had to go home.
• Patricia (10/5): Relaxing and meditative stay at the ocean, love it, thank you all - Super friendly service, great relaxing villa and pool overlooking the ocean. Great challenging steep steps descending to the beach…great massages…good food.. all in the overwhelming nature None
• Jason TA Chung (9/5): We had a tremendous time at Lelewatu and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sumba. - Our stay at Lelewatu was truly unforgettable. The hotel has one of the most magnificent cliffside views on the southwest side of Sumba. The main swimming pool overlooks the vast ocean, creating an incredibly peaceful and breathtaking atmosphere from morning to sunset. The villa was exceptional — spacious, beautifully designed, super comfortable, and very clean, with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the sense of privacy throughout the property. Falling asleep to the natural sound of the waves every night was one of the highlights of the trip. The food at the restaurant was also excellent. The BBQ red snapper fish was absolutely delicious and one of the best meals we had during our stay. Last but not least, the hospitality from the staff was outstanding. Everyone was incredibly warm and friendly. Special thanks to Mr. Wanto and his team for taking such great care of us and making our family holiday so memorable. Among his team, the young lady servers were especially kind and friendly — their warm smiles truly brightened our day every time we saw them. No direct access to beach, closest beach is 10 minutes by car
• Virginia (8/5): Hotel an schöner, ruhiger Lage zum entspannen, tolle Aussicht - Ruhige Lage, schöne Aussicht. Es ist es wert ein Zimmer mit privat Pool buchen! Guter Service Essen war ok, aber nicht speziell gut. Unterkünfte schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber für Bali Verhältnisse immer noch gut. Kein direkter Strand Zugang
• Jean-louis (9/5): -
• Sascha (7/5): Atemberaubender Ausblick, Nettes Personal, aber überteuert !!! - Tolle Lage, außergewöhnlicher Ausblick. Sehr nettes Personal. Achtung - es grenzt an Betrug! Der Preis für Vollpension ist unverschämt !! Es ist einfach A la Carte Bestellung, und dann noch limitiert auf eine Anzahl an Gerichten / Getränken. Es wäre wesentlich günstiger a la Carte zu buchen , selbst wenn man jedes mal 3 Gänge bestellt. Bei der Buchung war die Preisangabe für Essen in der Unterkunft falsch dargestellt so dass wir dachten Vollpension würde sich lohnen. Wir bereuten die Vollpension. Von Der karte waren zudem immer einige Gerichte nicht verfügbar. Für fast 2.000€ für 8 Tage Vollpension war das eine Frechheit ! Wir beschwerten uns. Das Personal versuchte uns entgegen zukommen aber das Management stellte sich quer. Die Anlage ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen.
• Eldar (8/5): - Очень красивый отель. Очень уютные и приватные виллы. Классная кровать. Очень удобная На территории отеля очень дорогая еда. Не очень вкусная. Но на Сумбе в целом с этим гораздо сложнее, чем на Бали. Очень дорогая аренда байка. И услуги такси
• Cor Vis (10/5): Fantastisch - De upgrade.was een zeezicht villa met eigen zwembad.FANTASTISCH!!!@ Zeer vriendelijke en goedlachse chauffeur Tiger. Die ons heel veel liet zien. Officemanager Wanto was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.. Het was een paradijsje. Helemaal niets.
• Amelia (9/5): -
• Mely (8/5): - Good view Nothing
• Chintya (10/5): I have been holiday with my family and i was enjoying with all accommodations, bedroom was good, facilities was nice, an - Beautiful hotel and unique disign Nothing
• Diana (10/5): -
• Ashlee (9/5): - The staff were extremely lovely and the location was amazing
• Anita (10/5): A dream! - Lelewatu was a dream - super beautiful, calm and with the most spectacular views. Our previous accommodations on Sumba had been very warm and stuffy, but Lelewatu has a lovely breeze and a much more comfortable micro-climate. Our room (One-bedroom Pool Villa Ocean view) was so beautiful, perched right on the cliff, and we enjoyed the pool and the lovely verandah for sunsets. The staff were the absolute best - helpful, funny and kind, and they made the most of our stay, including making special surprises for my birthday! Everything was wonderful!
• Cristian (7/5): Not a luxury hotel. 4stars Hotel - Location and view were mind blowing. Staff also very sweet and friendly. Management not up to the job. Place needs heavy renovation. Gym is a joke: only 3 old cardio machines with 1 broken for months. No WiFi in many common areas- not even by the outside pool of our ocean view villa.
• Julie (5/5): - The staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable. The food was pretty good. The facilities were not well maintained and our villa did not look like the photos. The hotel needs some maintenance. Our shower leaked water that ran into the toilet area and decks looked worn. Pools were murky and there appeared to only be one bottle opener in the whole resort which made it challenging to open Bintangs from the mini bar. The road from the gate to the resort is steep and we had to get out of the van at one stage and walk up the hill because we could not get up without rolling backwards down the hill. There is a reason this hotel is cheaper than other resorts nearby.
• Simon (9/5): - Amazing traditional villas with breathtaking ocean view from own infinity pool. Very friendly and supportative employees. Breakfast and dinner was always delicious. Pleased to come here again.
• Xavi (1/5): Staying at this hotel was a nightmare, and thank God we managed to escape, but we are still waiting for our money to be - Dangerous road to access the hotel. To move in the hotel you need a buggy and can’t walk anyway. No 3g. WiFi never works fine. Gym is unacceptable. Poor lights around the hotel at night. Electricity cuts when it rains. Restaurant always misses food. Safety box and tv not working… we left on second day with a full week payed and didn’t refund a penny. Don’t recommend at all
• Sole (9/5): - Lugar con vistas inmejorables, personal maravilloso. Nos encantó la simpatía y el trato del personal. Desayuno lujoso. Falta de mantenimiento de las instalaciones en general.
• Lopa (4/5): Not 5* as advertised, description needs a lot of updating!! - Although the staff were not properly trained, they were a very nice and welcoming group of people. They did genuinely try their best, despite the hotel limitations. It is not as advertised. It says it's 5*, it is at best 2-3*. The linens were not clean, the mosquito nets had holes, the paths down to the villas were not maintained and trip risks etc ... The sunbeds aren't able to be in put into the sun, the pool is not maintained. There is a beach, but the access is incredibly precarious and it is not possible to use the facilities by the beach. It is a hotel that has the potential to be good but is severely lacking in all parts. We left two days early because the whole experience was not as expected and certainly not worth the money paid. Despite three different managers agreeing with the feedback and promise to refund the appropriate amount of nights, they have not paid back what was agreed.
• Rolf (4/5): -
• eva (9/5): Séjour de rêve qui invite au repos et à la méditation - Localisation de rêve à flanc de falaise. Piscine privée qui nous donne l impression d être directement dans la mer Rien mis à part le fait que l hotel soit un peu isolé et ne loue pas de scooter
• Syarlita (8/5): Our stay was beautiful but one time is enough - We went for a 4D3N honeymoon at Lelewatu and the experiences were very memorable. The views were breathtaking and we even saw dolphins from our room. The staffs were attentive and friendly. We are very satisfied with the room and service. BUT (and it's a big but) the price of the food are very very expensive (e.g: Nasi Goreng is IDR 185k and subject to tax) and for the breakfast that was included in the room the breakfast style was ala carte (not a buffet style). And the other down side is the property is quite far and a bit isolated from everything else so we dont have other option other than ordering in from the resort's restaurant (except if you're rent a car). So that was the big factor you should consider if you decided to stay for several days. The breakfast could have been a buffet style breakfast or ala carte with a more various options. And the price of the food could be adjusted to cater for local traveller.
• kassie (10/5): Unforgettable - The staff was incredibly lovely? Thank you to all of you for making our stay memorable.
• Cameron (10/5): Excellent - All the staff were absolutly amazing!!!
• Hasan (10/5): Best Resort in Sumba! - The Lelewatu Resort was just perfect for us to spend our wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday celebration. The resort is really beautiful and the walk to the beach is also picturesque! Ayu and Grace and all the staff at Lelewatu resort are all very kind and friendly and they will make sure your stay is memorable. If we ever visit Sumba again, we will definitely chose Lelewatu Resort again!!
• Alba (8/5): Confortable - El personal fue increíble, las vistas inmejorables. Los mejores atardeceres de todo el viaje. Destacamos el buen trato y profesionalismo de Ayu, Nicholas, Dedis y Dina. Demasiados bichos… se cortó la luz algunas veces. La primera habitación presentaba signos de dejadez… humedad, bichos, deterioro. Pero nos hicieron un upgrade
• Will (10/5): Overall this is a great place to come and stay. Very good value. Would definitely come back. A special thanks to: Wanto - Our stay at lelewatu was everything we needed. Very tranquil, serene and peaceful. The resort is very secluded, perfect for the getaway we needed. Positives: The views are incredible. Our private villa was stunning and looked after everyday. All staff were so accommodating and hospitable. All of the Indonesian menu items were delicious, especially the beef rendang, which I had 3 times. Also the creamy mushroom pasta was a hit. The hazelnut colada was a perfect sunset cocktail. The pools and beach were great spots to relax and mostly had them to ourselves. Again, the staff went out of their way to make our stay very pleasant. Negatives: nothing too negative really, it would be nice to have a bit more drinking water provided free of charge (in the rooms)A few little differences between what’s written on menus and what you receive. Villas can be far from reception/ restaurant so needing pick up in buggies took a while sometimes. The gym could also use a bit of an upgrade and include some cleaning products.
• Nelly (9/5): -
• David (8/5): -
• Charline (10/5): Amazing :) - Everything! The staff was so kind Nothing
• Leslie (9/5): - Le panorama de l'hôtel est sublime, la piscine centrale ainsi que la piscine sur la terrasse des chambres Deluxes. Le personnel était extrêmement gentil et serviable. Très bon service. La chambre était très propre, rien à voir avec les commentaires négatifs que nous avions pu lire.Le petit déjeuner était copieux (jus, fruits, café ou thé et un plat) et du choix salé ou sucré. Le restaurant est certes assez cher (mais bon la nuit à l'hôtel l'est aussi) mais de qualité dans l'ensemble. La situation est éloignée de nombreux sites mais comme la plupart des logements à Sumba, il faut prévoir un moyen de transport ou savoir qu'il faudra payer les services d'excursions de l'hôtel. Je peux comprendre les avis négatifs au sujet du rapport qualité/prix. On s'attend sûrement à un sans faute. L'hôtel mériterait quelques rénovations générales. Mais au prix réduit que nous avons eu sur Booking nous n'avons rien à dire.
• Ni Made (10/5): Love to stay with natural ambience - All good Far from city
• Scott (10/5): The ultimate romantic holiday - Everything Nothing
• agustia (10/5): So natural and cozy - View was natural Litle bit far from city
• CHRISTIAN VINCENT (7/5): - Confort de la villa et la piscine privée vue sur océan Je n'ai pas apprécié que l'établissement soit réquisitionné pendant 3 jours pour le tournage d'un film. C'est invasif durant le séjour car sans compensation negociable avec la direction de l'hôtel. Le résultat revient à un confinement en villa, aucune chance pour le romantisme et fin de séjour amer. J'étais soulagé de quitter en fin de séjour. Concernant la restauration les prix élevés à la carte varient tous les jours. Il faut avoir le budget car tout est en supplement. Pas de buffet. Cuisine excellente et de qualité Propreté et serviabilité du personnel.
• nathalie (8/5): Agréable séjour au Lelewatu Resort Sumba - L’emplacement est exceptionnel et le personnel très gentil et serviable et la cuisine excellente L’hôtel a besoin d’un rafraîchissement surtout les toilettes qui sont moisis
• agustia (10/5): Perfect place for retreat, cozy and natural. Combined with tradition architecture and local services - A great venue for retreat Litle bit far from the town
• Hussein (10/5): Amazing experience and great resort! -
• Gilang (10/5): - I love the ambience, frendly staff and the view amazing and interior full of sumba culture
• FAUSTINO (9/5): No pudimos disfrutar bien de nuestra estabcia por que llovió bastante, pero el resort, excelente - Mucho, la ubicación increíble. Un acantilado precioso Estaba todo bien.
• Sergio (3/5): Estafa para el precio que cobran - Se encuentra en una ubicación muy bonita con una piscina en la zona central del resort con muy buenas vistas. El primer día completo no tuvimos agua caliente, algo esencial tras un largo viaje (por más que se lo dijimos en múltiples ocasiones, no lo arreglaron hasta el día siguiente). Nos alojaron en una zona separada del resort principal, claramente destinada a estancias largas o tipo coliving, compartida con viajeros de larga duración. Las zonas comunes estaban sucias y descuidadas: platos sin recoger, pertenencias personales por los pasillos, y un ambiente muy lejos del que esperas en un hotel de esta categoría. La última noche sufrimos un corte total de electricidad en nuestra zona del hotel, lo que dejó sin luz, wifi, aire acondicionado ni posibilidad de cargar el móvil, en una zona de la isla donde además no hay cobertura. No recibimos explicaciones ni soluciones por parte del personal. No cenamos allí ninguna noche pero el desayuno no vale nada tampoco. Una gran decepción. No se corresponde en absoluto con lo que se muestra en la reserva, ni mucho menos con el dinero que pagas. No se lo recomiendo a nadie.
• Maja (10/5): -
• Mcdermid (10/5): -
• Esteban (10/5): A little paradise on the coast - What a wonderful destination. This was one of the highlights of our time in Indonesia. The hotel is gorgeous and the villas are large, cozy, nicely designed, with the ocean waves, creating a nice atmosphere. A nice terrace outside where we opted to have breakfast every morning. We used the private pool in our villa every day. We did not want to leave the room to explore the island at times. The staff in particular were incredible and they did their best to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Very avaible via Whatsapp for anything we needed. Always with a smile. It will stay with me for a long time. Their breakfast and dining in particular were a highlight :) All really great
• Vladimir (5/5): We won't be coming here again. - 30-cent breakfast The room is stuffy and smells of mould. The beds are damp. The staff probably don't even air the room. Or maybe no one stays there because of the astronomical prices. The room is not functionally comfortable and not user-friendly. The promised view of the sea was far away on the horizon... those with good eyesight could see it. Overall, it's just for show...
• Edward (10/5): - This property very comfort for your retreat and honeymoon. Spend all the day and taken the ocean view from your bathroom is very amazing. The staff and service very excellent. Just keep it and the food very tasty. Perfect holiday ❤️❤️
• LUCA (9/5): -
• Andres Alberto (5/5): -
• Alexandar (10/5): -
• Nissa (5/5): - it has beautiful views, stunning vistas, and some very kind help… but it is in no way five stars. We arrived, and wondered if “white lotus” had done a Sumba edition… or maybe a mediocre cruise line had randomly run aground and rebranded. This review would be far kinder, and the review higher, if Lelewatu accepted a simple truth- it has beautiful views, stunning vistas, and some very kind help… but it is in no way five stars. Not in this incarnation, or any other I can imagine. When you think of five stars, you might imagine some baseline expectations: Like, the ability to order a well made drink. Or a cappuccino. Or something simple- like more than five edible options at the only place to eat within 30 minutes drive, or someone to greet you that is older than your teenage child. Enough umbrellas and chaise loungers to be able to sit around the public pool with more than one guest, or a cabin that is spider and mosquito resistant. Or at least has a netting that could be. That sadly, is NOT lelawatu. It feels like if it wasn’t so exorbitantly priced, or had a beach, or even just said it was 4 stars- it would have earned a few more. But masking as a charade of luxury does not serve the reality- which is decidedly fine, but in no way good. If you want a beautiful beach, epic, sunrises, and sunsets, and a nice community of mixed guests- go to Mario’s. It’s a quarter of the price, much more endearing, and self-aware enough to trust in its guests reviews of four stars rather - than proclaiming an underserved five.
• Drew (9/5): 5-star views at a 4-star jungle lodge - Spectacular views! Unique architecture. Comfortable and relaxing villas. Super-friendly staff, always eager to assist. Yes, I encourage you to stay here, but just manage your expectations. Do not expect "white glove" 5-star service. Expect a 4-star jungle lodge; not constructed or managed to high-end standards. Food is average. Extremely high price
• Daniele (2/5): - Questa struttura non è sicura. Si trova su una collina che ha subito diversi cedimenti negli anni, la strada d’ingresso è gravemente compromessa e le camere hanno sviluppato una pendenza che non le rende assolutamente agibili e che fa si che fuoriesca anche un cattivo odore dagli scarichi. Parlando con la gente del posto ci hanno confermato tutti la pericolosità della struttura che non è assolutamente agibile e andrebbe chiusa.
• sylvia (3/5): - De accommodatie wordt gerund door een curator Skechte vibes
• Alsu (7/5): я не ем мясо уже более 7 лет,мне постоянно еду приносили с мясом,отель потом вернул за это деньги но персонал очень невн - красивый вид не открывалось окно на вилле,были проблемы с горячей водой
• Janet (8/5): - This resort has a beautiful and dramatic setting, built into a cliff overlooking the sea with individual plunge pools by each villa. You sleep to the sound of the waves beating on the rocks and enjoy beautiful sunsets. However, it is experiencing many problems with staff and service. We did not receive a gracious welcome, were not given an orientation to the staff or amenities, and were charged an enormous amount (over a million IDR or $70 apiece) for a "barbecue" when we arrived. We had a bumpy 3 hour drive from the west and did not want to eat much on unsettled stomachs, but were told that this was a "fixed price" meal even if we did not want to consume it. We were ready to try to take our meals elsewhere until we realized that on the other days we could order a la carte. Major problem in communication and not a great way to welcome clients. The resort is also not eco-conscious: We were allotted 2 small plastic water bottles, had to beg for more drinking water to take our meds and make coffee in the room. Only Nescafe, no milk available. They should follow the lead of other Sumba resorts (Nihi, Cap Karoso) and provide refillable glass bottles. This is both wasteful and stingy on the part of the staff. The general manager left while we were there and is apparently not going to be replaced. We did not get an orientation about activities or the spa (which we never visited, although there was a sign about it). We asked our driver about horse back riding and so did that
• Sian (9/5): Hide away calm and tranquil - Location magical accommodation perfect A quite magical spot if want to escape.. the spa was also wonderful. Not quite upto 5star in some areas like Bali but if you go to Sumba you don't expect perfection. And that's kind of the charm A little limited in activities as is a cliff top location with beach not suitable communication sometimes a little bit missed
• Nur (10/5): Exceptional - All about this resort, we loved it. Very fantastic and excellent service. Nothing
• Lia13 (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, clean rooms, and friendly staff! Highly recommended ✨ No
• William (8/5): Very good - missing standard shower in room. There was shower hose in tub.
• Jose (8/5): Very good - Breakfast can be improved Menu is repetitive and can be improved
• Sabine (7/5): Good - Great location The staff was not well organised
• Tomasz (10/5): Amazing time - Was clean and after repair. Fresh. Staff wonderful, helpful. We allready planing to come back View and food
• Sergey (10/5): Exceptional - It was just an incredible ten-day experience staying at the Lelewatu Hotel! We have never met such friendly and welcoming staff anywhere. Thank you very much for your work, friends! A huge hello to Adhy!
• Cooper (8/5): A magical spot, with magical staff. - The staff were incredible and the our stay something special. Ridsa made us feel so special and welcome and bent over backwards for us, nothing was a problem. We miss her! Our Villa was stunning with the best views. We can see turtles and dolphins daily. Overall everything was fabulous. Perhaps the menu could have a few more options. But it wasn't really an issue. We meal we found things we liked.
• Phillip (4/5): Great location spoilt by poor food staff really try hard - We stayed in a room with a pool. The room was comfortable as one would expect from a resort. The linen and towels were refreshed every day. Sunset view was excellent The spa was excellent and Micha did a few excellent massages. The food was awful. Being located without an option of any outside dining you are obliged to eat on the premises. The entire management of the F&B facility needs to be critically evaluated. Continuous shortages of basic product made a mockery of the menu. The staff try hard, but Jenny Tan the owner needs to be involved in sorting out the mess
• Mohamed (3/5): Our stay was plagued by frequent power outages. - The ocean view was simply amazing. Power outages were extremely frequent during our stay, occurring throughout the day and night. These outages disrupted the AC, lights, and Wi-Fi. On our first night, we were caught off guard when the entire area, not just our room, was plunged into complete darkness. With no intercom phone in the room and no Wi-Fi to contact the front office, we were left in the dark for over half an hour. Eventually, staff arrived to reassure us they were working to resolve the issue. While the power did return, our relief was short-lived as outages occurred twice more that night. The TV in our room was non-functional throughout our three-day stay, despite informing the resort. While we could manage without it, its presence created an expectation that it would work. The room was designed to replicate the experience of staying in a traditional Sumba house, combining this aesthetic with modern comforts. However, the experience was less comfortable than expected. We encountered frogs jumping around the room, noisy geckos at night, a centipede, insects of all kinds, and even monitor lizards roaming the premises. After leaving some leftover food in the outdoor trash basket, we found it ransacked by lizards the next morning. There were no warnings or signage about such occurrences, which would have been helpful. The room's straw roof, while authentic, caused persistent issues. Dirt from the roof constantly covered the bed, sofa, and floor, making it unpleasant to walk, rest, or sleep. While sealing the roof entirely might compromise the traditional design, a more practical approach would significantly enhance comfort. Additionally, the room is old and quite dirty, and it hasn't been properly cleaned or maintained.
• Aj (10/5): Secluded and quiet with great views - Very secluded and quiet. The private villa with pool was spectacular as were the ocean views. The food from the restaurant was properly prepared and good. Since it was low season, they were out of quite a few menu items. Since it is secluded, you will eat every meal at the resort unless you pay for an excursion (900k+) or pay to go to town (which is far). I'd definitely opt for the free breakfast as that helps the wallet a bit. The food is very exepnsive as is the room service. 120k for chicken satay, 900k+ for a wine bottle and 1.5+ juta for 700ml liquor. You're allotted only 2 small waters per pax/per day, that isn't enough in my opinion. So bring what drinks you can from the airport or town!
• Ayunda (10/5): Amazing & very enjoyable - The hotel is on a cliff with views of the sea below, amazing vibes The staff was very sweet & friendly too Thank you for great care of us and made sure we were taken care of all the time! They were incredibly friendly! The food is very tasty. Definitely recommend this place! I will come again
• Suraj (5/5): So much potential, but disappointing. - Staff were great, they went out of their way for us. My room was tilting to one side. Air con no freon. According to people most of their villas are tilting. Owners need to step up and do right by this property.
• Pavitra (10/5): Wonderful - Good staff, wonderful view and sunset from pool. The food was very tasty. Definitely recommend this place. -
• Kezia (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay at Lelewatu was wonderful. The location is breathtaking, offering panoramic views that made every moment feel special. The staff were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.. we really enjoyed the luxurious yet laid back vibe of the place. Would definitely consider coming back!
• Jean (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Daniela (8/5): Dream Villas - Lelewatu is a really welcome and comfortable hotel in South/East Sumba. Their Villages are really good, awesome view and really close to the sea. Amazing spot to enjoy unique sunsets. Everything was cleaned and with good facilities. The staff is really kind, some doens't speak well english but they are always available and smilling and makes part of sumba experience. Mr Bagus, hotel Manager, was always welcoming, doing his best to provide a good experience. Rysda was lovely and kind and contributes a lot for our good experience in Lelewatu. She could be responsible to improve the quality of the dishes in the restaurant. We did a massage and the therapist was really good, one of the best massages we did. The big point to improve will be the restaurant - the food is not bad but is not good for a 5 starts hotel and specially for Indonesia. the prices are really high for the type of dishes or drinks asked for in Sumba context.
• Sofia (10/5): Perfect stay at the edge of the world - My husband and I had the most wonderful honeymoon at Lelewatu Resort. Photos really don't do the place justice, you have to be there to fully experience the magic! The location was absolutely stunning, we felt like we were at the edge of the world. Our villa overlooking the ocean was hands down the best place we stayed in during our trip to Indonesia; the private pool was such a luxury, and the room was tastefully decorated and comfortable. It was so special to see dolphins from our room every day! The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay; we felt very safe with our excellent driver Rudy, the general manager Bagus personally picked us up from the airport, Wanto took amazing photos of our sunrise horse-riding experience, and Colin was always ready to greet us with a smile and interesting facts about Sumba. We had zero communication difficulties during our stay. The food was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from; we enjoyed both room service (particularly for breakfast) and also eating in the main dining area. We were able to fully appreciate Sumba's natural beauty and cultural significance in a short period of time (3 days) through the day trips organised by the resort, which were private and fully personalised; the staff were extremely flexible, and tailored the tours according to our interests and schedules. We couldn't have asked for a better stay on this unique island!
• Agastya (10/5): THE BEST STAY EVER ! fully reccomended - We love the food , the view is amazing from our room, sometimes in the morning we saw wild dolphins ❤️ The staff super friendly 👍👍 None
• Marsi (9/5): An Unforgettable Stay! - An Unforgettable Stay! Staying at Lelewatu Resort was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! From the warm welcome to the cozy room with stunning views, everything was truly memorable. Service The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. They ensured all our needs were met promptly and thoughtfully, making us feel genuinely valued as guests. Accommodation The room we stayed in was exceptionally comfortable. It was spacious, spotless, and offered breathtaking ocean views. Amenities like a private pool and a plush bed added to the overall comfort of our stay. Facilities & Activities The resort offers a variety of exciting activities. We tried the traditional spa, which was incredibly relaxing – a cultural experience not to be missed! There are also local tours, horse riding, and much more to enjoy. We highly recommend Lelewatu Resort to anyone looking for the perfect getaway. We can’t wait to return!
• Ferry (10/5): Excellent - Best view, friendly staff, excellent service and great food. We loved our stay at lelewatu sumba and will definitely come back.
• Risda (10/5): we stay only for 1 night - everything in this resort are beautiful so nature and peaceful , the room was amazing, and i can see the dolphin from our balcony, its very wonderful experience, all the staff very welcome n friendly, the food are tasty, all the service are awesome .we will come back again next year from airport to the resort it was quite far, but it was ok. so far all are good.
• Marjolijn (9/5): Eye opening and relaxing - Breakfast and other meals were good, considering that a lot of western produce is not easy to source. We went for the peace and quiet holiday and away from the hectic Bali scene and got what we hoped for. We enjoyed how the local employees were doing their utmost to make you feel comfortable. For a day on the beach you had to use a car and drive for about 20 minutes. The roads were reasonable and quiet, we only experienced one traffic jam as we were passing the local Saturday market, which was a unique scene as most trades were based on barter system.
• Robbie (10/5): - amazing location , private, beautiful villas, delicious food. The staff were so freindly and accomadating, nothing was to hard for them, always smiling. extra touches like a cake on y wifes birthday delivered by all the staff, allso was our anniversary so on arrival flowers on the bed and in the bath. awesome week away
• Henry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zuzana (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for everything!
• Tiffany (9/5): Beautiful View - The view is really beautiful, but the distance is a bit far if you want to go out. Staff friendly. Breakfast is also delicious.
• Derine (10/5): Beautiful Resort - Best resort with friendly staff, best view (ocean view). The food was well-cooked & delicious. They have horse riding and When you don't know where to go, they have tour packages 🥰🥰 thats amazing. Lelewatu Resort is the perfect getaway for anyone looking for luxury and tranquility. Can’t wait to go back! Thanks for amazing experience, Lelewatu Resort!
• Francesco (4/5): Disappointing - The staff has been extremely nice We spent there just one night and us a french couple were the only guests of the structure, which was surprising given all the other structures in Sumba were fully booked. As of the first moment the resort felt abandoned, in the sense that you couldn’t see anyone and more than anything because it lacks of maintenance, as if it’s few years that they let it go. The room was big and spacious however it had two main problems: 1. It wasn’t properly cleaned but it’s not a problem of the cleaning of one day but since long time. 2. The floor wasn’t flat. Since I entered the room I felt the floor was inclined so I made a test with a glass and let it roll toward one side: the floor of the hanging villa H-2 was so inclined you could feel it under your feet. Pretty scaring given the position of the villa. Instead I have to say the three people of the staff (1x front desk + 2x restaurant) have been extremely nice.
• Jp (8/5): Very good -
• Nicholas (7/5): Good -
• Amanda (8/5): It was lovely stay if you are in Sumba and has some of the most gorgeous rooms ever. - The property is gorgeous up on the cliffs with the ocean views and plunge pools and the staff is so attentive and amazing. Really beautiful there and very clean. The food was not the best for the price you pay for it and for the quality of the hotel. It is also far away from surf locations and other things.
• Henriette (7/5): Disappointing and over-priced - The villa is beautiful with direct view to the ocean. Nice spa Nice breakfast in the room The service was appealing - we’re not able to communicate in English. Food and beverage choices were not available and the taste and cooking of what was available was horrible
• Farrah (10/5): It was everything and more! - Everything! We were wowed by everything in our bungalow/villa. The best view ever! Blue ocean, breathtaking sunset, thousands of stars in the night sky. The villa was really private, bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely love to come back in the future! It requires some maintenance here and there. But overall it really exceeded all of our expectations.
• Ekatanaya (10/5): Amazing villa and outstanding service - Beautiful pool area overlooking the ocean, the staff were friendly and helpful. the food was nice for breakfast lunch and dinner. I will comeback again.
• Atie (10/5): Great!! - Wonderful stay at Lelewatu! The staff was very friendly, welcoming and nice! Even though the English was poor, it did not matter since the staff was very attentive and helpful. They arranged for us to go horse riding, which was great yet tricky without much experience and without a saddle, but that did not matter especially on the beautiful horses. We had a nice room with big windows with the sea view and to fall asleep with the sound of the waves. There was a private pool with roomservice any time (the springrolls were delicious!!) Terima kasih banyak pak Tanto, mas Anton and the rest of the staff 🙏🏽 Meer vegetarische gerechten op de kaart zou fijn zijn
• Putrawan (10/5): An incredible place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature. - It's a perfect location for an escape stay. Doing an activity with the staff was a great experience. The best view ever. Good breakfast and comfortable bed.
• Rendi (10/5): Amazing stay at Lelewatu Resort - I recently had the pleasure of staying at Lelewatu Resort from the moment I arrived until the day of departure. friendly staff with a genuine smile. The room was so spacious and clean. The ocean view is amazing as well as the pool. We had a great stay here and definitely coming back.
• Ian (9/5): Stunning residence with dramatic ocean views - A stunning view of the Indian Ocean …beautifully decorated villa with infinity pool , the shower is with an ocean view and the hand carved marble sinks are shaped to a conchshell …very friendly sumbanese staff will do everything to make your stay as enjoyable as it can be Needs more variety of breakfast options
• Merrisa (10/5): Had a wonderfull stay - Loved every minute of being at this villa. Villa was clean and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. The ocean view so amazing
