    And about the cold shower?? Who cares if the people are so warm!??!

    Jovan and Yayuk are the best. Staying with them was the best part of my Flores trip. Ended up staying there 3 nights… and was doubting about a 4th 😉. Jovan took us to his community praying, the English teacher showed us the school and invited us for the big school performance. We went to the best waterfall, and when I came back with a big wound from a scooter crash, Yayuk took care of me! And don’t forget about the best food I had in Indonesia.. If I come back to Flores, it’s because of people like you! Thank you so so much!!

    Ayu n Jofans were so kind and friendly, that we like home 🏡 💙 The girls working there were also very prompt in their tasks. The food is also really nice , I became a fan of their Chicken Porridge that they give for breakfast (Bubur Ayam). We ended up staying there 2 days

    The hosts are very friendly and helpful. You can rent a motorcycle from the Homestay. The host was also helped us with getting a shared car to Labuan Bajo as the Gunung Mas was fully booked. He drove us himself to the place to get a shared taxi and communicated with the locals for us 10/10. Also if you are there in the weekend, they also organise a family dinner for all the guests to join. It was really nice.

    Friendly hosts who welcomed me in after long scooter ride in the rain. Got hot water for shower/bucket wash ready and home cooked dinner was already made. They eat dinner together which is very sweet. Breakfast was equally delicious! Jofans also helped tighten my rear view mirror. Absolutely felt taken care of and booked a night for when I come back from Kelimutu. Looking forward to the meals there already

    Chacha Homestay feels like a home, you immediately feel welcome and part of the family. The family is so warm and kind and their food is amazing!! They will help you with everything, they helped plan my flores trip and not only the part in Ruteng (I am traveling alone). I loved being there!

    I had a lovely stay at this home stay. Extremely clean, comfortable bed. Indonesian breakfast included. I was there during Easter and they didn’t let me pay for all the meals I had with the family. Position is good, right next to a Gunung mas office for booking buses. You can rent bikes from there as well. Makasi Ayu!

    Everywhere was always clean and tidy! The bed was comfortable and the room temperature was nice. The family and staff working there are fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Over the Easter celebrations when much of Ruteng was closed they cooked excellent food for me and the other guests! I definitely recommend staying here!

    Nothing I could think of.

    Everything ! An amazing hostel,with kind host and staff. Large communal area. Coffee and tea available. The dorm rooms are well designed, i.e.reading lights,curtains for privacy. The showers and toilets were cleaned continuously,so no wet floors. They can organise good driver and onwards transportation.

    The people who work there are amazing! They make you feel at home, give you a lot of tips and tell good stories about the area and there family as well. The breakfast and other food that they provide are really tasty. By far the best hostel I stayed in for years. The facilities are basic (like bucket showers) but they make it as comfortable as it can be. (Yes you get hot water).

    Showers are cold (which didn’t bother me too much, since its the case in most of flores. However it’s something one should be aware of ☺️.

    Very friendly and helpful owners that are always down for a chat and ready to help whenever you need something. The restaurant on site (which also serves the included breakfast) is cheap and tasty. Everything was super clean and there is a nice outside area to chill and meet other travelers. Location next to bus-station which is really convenient:) Thank you for your hospitality:)
