8/10 Good
"New hotel with great potential. Location is stunning, restaurant and bar very good, rooms simple but nice. Good air con. Comfy beds Downsides - the hotel often has no transport available for tours which is a real issue. There’s no way to see anything in Sumba without a car and driver. There’s pool was also not well maintained. Spa not open and building work ongoing though noise not bad at all. Despite the challenges, I enjoyed my trip. I’d definitely return. I suspect many of these issues will be resolved with time."
