Tempatnya nyaman, kamar villa nya cukup luas, staff nya ramah-ramah, bisa anter ke airport free, suasana villa banyak nyaman,air kamr mandi lancar ,toilet bersih dan luas.

Hotel staff are helpful and friendly. Nice pool on the beach. Not crowded. Has its own restaurant and bar. We paid extra to be upgraded to the villa as we wanted more space and a balcony. About 7 mins drive to town.

This hotel is a little easy out of town but reachable on a Grab bike for less than 20.000Rp. Great pool/beach and a nice little restaurant. Rooms are standard layout.

Very friendly people there and the food was good. I walked to the city, takes about 45 minutes once.

Has none of the amenities they advertise...

They say they have 2 bars/lounges, a swim up bar, 24 hour room service, an indoor pool, coffee shop, snack bar and barbeque grills and they don’t have any of these things. If you plan to have a cocktail or two on your vacation you won’t be able to get one here nor any of the other amenities I mentioned. The do call the restaurant “Komodo Bar” but it was out of stock entirely my entire stay while I had no problem getting a beer at any other restaurant or hotel in town. Also, it is about a 15 minute drive from Labuan Bajo town where you will need to go if you want to do a Komodo Tour, dive, snorkel, have dinner or drinks. They have a free shuttle from 7:00 am – 6:00 pm but you will need to be in town before that for any boats going to Komodo, diving or snorkeling and will be in town later than that for dinner so you will end up paying a lot more for their shuttle to and from town than if you just spend a few more rupiah to stay at a nicer place that is already in town. You will spend 100,000 rupiah for every trip to town and for less, you can stay at a nicer place that is already in town and close to the Komodo, dive, snorkel, dining, music fun. Restaurant food wasn’t bad but it is swarming with flies so if you order, you may want to have it in your room although bugs are an issue there as well. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay here. It is managed really, really poorly.

Dirty sheets and towels. Messaged and emailed the hotel weeks in advanced and two days prior to let them know the number of travelers and hence room configuration. Never heard back and nothing was ready when we arrived so they needed to add extra beds in the room and charge us for it. Woke up in the middle of the night, turned on a small light and bed was full of bugs and cockroaches came out. My wife was completely bitten by who knows what insects throughout the night. Sheets and towels (which we had to ask for) were stained.

Ok stay , reasonable price .

We received an complimentary upgrade to a villa , which was a nice surprise . The staff were very friendly and helpful. The villa room was nice, spacious and had a nice view of the sea. Breakfast was average and there was an egg station and buffet food. The music played at breakfast was not good and really ruined the experience . We didn’t go in the pool as it was not very clean , which was disappointing. Overall an ok stay, but definite room for improvement .

Outside town, pool bar under construction, beach lonely and dirty

Lovely but beware of theft from room!

Great location on beach, warm sea but not much in the local vicinity. Staff are friendly and free shuttle as and when you need to Lubuan Bajo town is offered, dependent on availability. Although the hotel seems fairly new, the rooms are a little dated. The sea view villas/rooms are preferable with unobstructed views of the beach, pool and sea. However we cannot recommend this hotel - had a substantial amount of cash stolen from the locked room safe. The friendly manager, Sigit, kindly took us to the police station to make a report on his day off, however I fear he has not taken the incident seriously or done any follow up. Despite his promises, he did not contact us again after we checked out, and has not responded to our emails/calls. He confirmed there was no CCTV and it seems quite possible that staff have access to the safe master key - if staying here be very careful. Given that it's a "beach resort" and you'll often find yourselves out of the room for substantial periods of time and not wanting to carry all valuables eg when on boats/diving and swimming this is a very substantial problem. It's a real shame as there's lots to like about the rest of the hotel and staff were mostly very helpful.

It was okay. It was not worth the price i paid for it. They don't even have wifi in the rooms and the shower water was cold.

Good service but no wifi in rooms

Overall it was a nice stay but frustrating when we wanted to use the wifi. We had to sit in the lobby or at the cafe.

Clean hotel, dirty pool and overpriced restaurant.

Hotel itself was nice, very clean. Room was big and had everything one would need for the stay. I would not stay here again tho because of high price you would expect some sort of value for money but: Pool was dirty and the sunchairs were from last century. Restaurant was way too expensive for being such remote location. Paying for bintang 66000 is way overpriced and restaurant would not give me my change correct. When you pay 22% Tax of beer you usually want your money back. Airport pickup on arrival was perfect but when I booked for departure, they forgot and were leaving to airport without me. So not really on point.

Nice, comfortable rooms; beachfront view

We stayed two nonconsecutive nights with a short excursion in between (hotel stored our luggage). The first room we were given, in one of the villas, was huge with a comfortable bed and easy access to the pool and restaurant. The one downside was that it was mildly infested with millipedes (probably harmless but we did not want them in bed with us). The second room was in the main hotel building, less enormous but still plenty spacious. Hotel staff was somewhat disorganized in arranging our shuttle to the airport and in turning off the running water one evening for repairs (!) The pool and restaurant area have a lovely ocean/sunset view, though the ocean water is too shallow and muddy to make the beach good for swimming. The restaurant was quite expensive by Indonesian standards, but had pretty good food. There are no other restaurants in the neighborhood so you need to take the (free) shuttle to the main Labuan Bajo town if you want to eat elsewhere.

The staff member with the best English skills is actually one of their drivers. Their "front desk manager" tried to pick us up in town for IDR 100,000 which was about 3 minutes before their shuttle picked us up !

Nice hotel with beautiful sunset view

i stayed there for 2 nights. First impression was very good as it was the resort / villa kind of feel which I liked. However, it was not located close to town but luckily they provided free shuttle service from 7am-8pm (only to town, other areas one-way will be charged at Rp 50,000). You could arrange a time for them to pick you up at a location back to the hotel, but there was once the driver forgot to pick us up and we called the hotel after waiting for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you may borrow a phone from any restaurants to call the hotel when you wish to go back. Their airport transfer is free as well. The most amazing thing about this resort is their private beach has a nice view of the sunset. The staff were friendly and they would recommend us the places we can go.

Far from town

Far away from the town so you will be reliant on there shuttle service which was hard to get a hold of sometimes. Wifi did not work both days we stayed. Has nice views of bay and good sunset views. Access to beach but we didn't go.

Ok, for labuan bajo.

Nice set up, but staff are noisy in the early morning by the rooms waking up the guests. Shuttle pick up is difficult to arrange but drivers are really good.

Nice quiet hotel

A bit out of the way, but very relaxing. Staff were very helpful. Worth a visit.

Nice beach side hotel

Decent hotel, good value for money, beach is on the dirty side

OK Hotel, but not worth the money

The theme of my stay here centered on the amenities promised were either missing or disappointing. They hotel itself is ok, the rooms are nice, but the rest of the hotel is lacking. The pool was closed the days I was there, the coffee shop is almost never open, and the restaurant is most just tables at the bar. This place is a ways away from anything else, but then does not have the services to make you want to stay at the hotel. The shuttle into town was nice and the beach in front of the hotel is nice. Overall the hotel feels like it wants to be a luxury resort, but does not want to put that extra effort into making the amenities of a luxury resort present. This is a good hotel, but it did not stand out as a great hotel.

Great sunset view from Hotel bar out back

Used this hotel as a jumping off point for seeing the Dragons. We took 2 day trips one to Rinca and one to Komodo.

Great Rooms, Friendly Staff

Overall our stay at Luwansa was great. There were some problems when I tried to arrange the free airport transportation, when a staff member who didn't speak English answered the phone and then hung up on me. He also wouldn't pick up on a second call when I asked someone who spoke the language to call back. Also, although free rides to town were offered, we were told that we could only have one per day. This wasn't really a problem, but since the hotel is far from town, it might be for other travelers. Overall, though, the staff was great and the room was superb. Breakfast and Dinner in the restaurant were good. Nice sunset view from the beach.

Hummm

Overall good - quick service and ready to help. Quite shock initially with the 21% service and tax when they keep on bringing cold food with almost nothing on it. This was a big turndown. We are really not into breakfast but it is undoubtebly a really bad one we got. Now having said that, the sunset was literally one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Just breath taking - even better than Langkawi as we were almost alone on the beach front. So nice staff, great location but quite poor food... maybe a microwave might help! :-)

Far from town, but they have a car that can take you there for free. Free hotel pick from the. Airport or harbor . Big clean rooms, quiet location. The only thing I thought was rude was ... 9 am. Call from front desk .. Are you checking out today? " yes" 10 am .. Call from front desk .. What time are you leaving ?... Umm now? ... If check out time is noon... Why do you have to keep asking me ??

Great services

The hotel is clean and comfortable. This is not a luxury hotel, however they provide such a great service. It is the service that differentiates this hotel from the rest.

Very good option money/value

The hotel is very clean, comfortable and compared to many other in Lubuan Bajo it is a great offer for your money. It is a bit distant from city center, but they offer a free shuttle so there should be no problem. The pool is really nice and the staff is very cordial. The only problem, but this isnt the hotel only, there is no fast internet anywhere in Flores, it is less than 0.5mB,so dont go if you need to be connecte!! Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

Clean, quiet and very spacious rooms!

I loved staying here bc its clean and comfortable, definitely one of the best in all of flores island. Breakfast is not the best, but at least its included. I highly recommend it!

Very gracious and helpful staff

The entire staff of Luwansa Beach Hotel were very helpful when we needed it. Since the hotel is a ways from Labuan Bajo proper, the hotel offers free drop off/pick up in the town. Just make sure you have the right phone number before you leave. The villas are very comfortable with a door opening out toward the ocean. However, if you want wifi, you must go up to the main lobby to stay connected. The individual rooms in the hotel have every comfort of the villas and you have better internet connection up at the hotel. We two senior ladies couldn't have had better in Labuan Bajo!

Great stay pre liveaboard

Where else in the world do you stay where the hotel is happy to provide free shuttle to and from the city center? Here is where! This is your gateway to the liveaboard ships and your Komodo islands. The hotel is cozy with large clean rooms and a fantastic staff. Super accommodating.

Luwansa is a nice place to stay for a few days. Food, room, people and pool are very nice. The beach is dirty; a lot of trash. And the bottom of the sea is covered with dirth. Not nice to swim. The view is great and ideal to see the sunset.

有风景赏日落

沙滩很好。安静。早餐也挺好。泳池也大。房间通风好，大海风景。喜欢去市里的可以打摩的，也可以租摩托。

休息度假好地方

房间大，花园精致，私人沙滩，人少，安静。

Nice and clean hotel with boring & expensive food

Nice and clean hotel with a beautiful sunset view. Staff is fantastic and value vs price is excellent. The breakfast is very boring and the food quality is below expectations, and way to expensive.

Meget tilfreds

Vi havde en enkelt overnatning på hotellet og vi synes det var et rigtig dejligt sted. Flot hotel, flot pool og god morgenmad. Et eneste lille minus var at badeværelset godt kunne have været lidt renere, men ellers var vi meget tilfredse med opholdet.

Ok for one night

Hotel pickup from the airport was half an hour late, but check in was fast and easy. The room was spacious and clean, but the pool was closed because of maintenance. The breakfast did not have many things to choose from, mainly bread, egg and jam. The hotel was a little far away from the center, but it had free transport and the area was very quiet. Wifi only in reception area.

Suka dengan luwansa

Pertama kali telp untuk konfirmasi pemesanan staff ramah dan sangat membantu. Kamar bersih , Dan sangat nyaman Kamar mandi shower tanpa bathtub Kolam renang menghadap laut dan bersih. Ada pantai dan disediakan tempat untuk main volly Breakfast di resto cukup dengan menu tidak terlalu banyak .. Perasmanan nasi,Mie,ikan kuah kuning, bayam Lainnya : sosis, bubur ketan merah, dan roti Minuman Tea,coffee, mineral water, & Orange Juice (orang juice sepertinya bukan fresh juice, terlalu manis dan bikin tidak enak di tenggorokan) Overall saya suka dengan hotelnya, ❤️

Værelset var forfaldent og der var gammelt blod på mit håndklæde. Poolen var beskidt og restauranten var dårlig. Hotellet tilbyder gratis transport til og fra byen samt lufthavnen, hvilket var fint. Vi prøvede dog at ringe og bestille denne dagen før vi ankom, men Herren i receptionen forstod ikke engelsk, og der kom aldrig nogen for at hente os i lufthavnen, så vi måtte tage en taxa (der kun kostede 35.000 rupier, så ligegyldigt). Restauranten var højst middelmådig og wifi'et fungerede kun her (et stykke vej fra hotellet og ude blandt alle myggene). Ville ikke vælge hotellet igen. Standarden for hoteller i Labuan Bajo er dog vist generelt lav.

Nöjd gäst

Hotellet överlag var jättebra, ligger precis vid stranden och poolen är ren. Gratis skjuts tillbaka till stan samt flygplatsen. Lunchen var otroligt dyr så ät innan ni åker dit. Frukosten var jätte bra samt hotellrummet så överlag är det toppen.

夕陽が美しいホテル

リンチャ島へのツアー目的で宿泊しました。 街からは離れていますが、無料のシャトルバスで送迎（8:00-20:00）してくれるので、不便には感じませんでした。 部屋はシンプルですが、充分広く、又、2階の部屋からも夕陽がキレイでした。 ビーチには特に椅子等の設備はありませんが、のんびり夕陽を眺めるには良いと思います。 プールは塩素の匂いが気になり、入りませんでしたが、小さなプールですので、お子さん向けかと思います。 ご飯は高く設定されていましたので、朝食を含めて、全てラブアンバジョーの街で取りました。

Hotel sur une plage pleine de détritus. Mobilier piscine en fin de vie. Pas de wifi dans les chambres même avec supplément. Wifi aléatoire à l accueil.

Base per Rinca con tutto il seguito

La colazione sul mare è fantastica. La posizione è piuttosto distante dalla cittadina e rispettivamente dal porto. Il servizio di navetta è un po' limitato. Purtroppo c'erano permanenti problemi di connessione mediante WI-Fi. Le spiagge sono piuttosto sporche. Le cene in città, il viaggio sull'Isola di Rinca e lo snorkeling con fondali e pesci meravigliosi ci hanno fatto sognare e ripagato di tutto.

Überteurert und kaputter Pool

Schöne Zimmer, aber der Pool war kaputt und ist ohnehin klein und nicht besonders schön. Dire Bediensteten sind recht unfähig und erst nach viel Druck wurden wir zu einem anderen Pool gefahren. Die Preise für das Essen sind reine Phantasieprodukte. In ganz Flores die höchsten, die wir gesehen haben. Ein Bintang Bier 92.000 Rp.!!!!

Hotel agréable

Dèco. sympa et staff très serviable

Luces y sombras

Bueno: -Estás enfrente de una playa con un atardecer precioso (aunque la playa en sí no vale la pena para bañarse, está sucia). -El bar. -La habitación y el baño son bastante confortables. Regular: -Necesita mejorar el mantenimiento de edificios, zonas comunes, mobiliario, etc. Fallan en muchos detalles y (algunos) no suponen ni siquiera un gasto, sólo atención a los detalles. -La piscina está bien pero lo mismo... Mejorar el mantenimiento y la limpieza. Mal: -El wifi. Si ya es una odisea conectarse en el hall, en las habitaciones (por lo menos en la mía) resultaba totalmente imposible.

Sans charme et sans service !

Comme quoi il ne suffit pas d'avoir une belle structure pour faire un bon hotel ! Nos deux chambres étaient très spacieuses et propres mais avec un manque d'entretien technique affligeant. Le service est simplement une horreur... Pour un prix sans commune mesure avec ce qui est offert.

Goed hotel met zeer vriendelijk personeel.

Prima hotel naar de maatstaven van Flores. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Enig minpunt: Zwembad wordt matig gezuiverd helaas.

Pésimo hotel

El peor hasta ahora en mi viaje a Indonesia, muy caro para lo que es, no tiene botellas de agua en la habitación, las sábanas estaban sucias, la habitación es my básica y según es de lujo, las fotos que ponen en la descripción del hotel se ven muy bien y uno se deja llevar por eso. Nos tuvimos que cambiar a otro hotel por la mitad de precio y la calidad, limpieza, y el hotel en general mil veces mejor.

Muy Recomendable

Realmente perfecto. El hotel está en unas condiciones increíbles una vez ves como es Labuan Bajo. Lo usé antes y después de un tour de buceo. El staff muy atento, ponen prácticamente un coche a tu servicio para ir y venir a donde necesites. El desayuno muy bueno. Una experiencia muy buena. Repetiré

It cut be better

The staff in komodo beach bar was very frindly..
