What a beautiful place! The most beautiful view of our trip through SE Asia. We made a very nice trek through this beautiful landscape with our children. The staff is extremely friendly and enthusiastic which made the stay even better. In the restaurant you can enjoy a delicious meal and the view.

I guess it would have been nice to have some sort of door net so that I could open the door and let some fresh air in, because I couldn't really due to bugs that might have gotten inside the room. But overall, I had a good time at Morinda villa and resto.

I loved the view from my room. If you want some peace of mind and love the sound of birds and rooster in the morning, Morinda is the place to be. I loved watching the sunrise while being in my bed and the room was quite cozy.

Nothing

Beautifully located with amazing view. Friendly owner and staff. Nice activities, hiking, kayaking

Stayed in April 2024

Not that i didnt like but to take into consideration : - To go to anyplace in east Sumba from Morinda implies going back to Waingapu first (about 20min one way). - No mobile Internet in the resort. They provide wifi that works fairly in the restaurant but was on and off in the rooms.

Very nice view. The owner and the staff are super nice and helpful. Comfortable rooms.

All was well. Nothing to complain. Besides the price. But that's just the market at Sumba for more comfortable 'western' style accomodation.

Amazing view, good food, well equipped comfortable room. Friendly staff. Timely pick up at the airport. Helpful in planning and assisting in our onward journey. Stunning place to land !

Activities are a bit pricey especially the kajacking. Food could also be a little better.

Good value rooms with stunning views. The hike is amazing. Bicycling through the weaving villages was also amazing.

The view is priceless. Good breakfast. And with affordable price.

The villa is full of mosquitoes as the walls have many holes, but they have anti mosquito spray, which helped in some extent. Also a net over the bed. The location is quite far from everything so you definitely need a car or scooter to go around.

The villa is located on a beautiful hill. You can just sit in the balcony and relax all day long. Accommodation is clean, providing water refill, so you so not need to buy plastic bottles. They have a restaurant there with delicious food. Breakfast was amazing as well. The staff very friendly.

Quiet place, wooden authentic villa with a balcony facing the hills and river. Everyday, we got a beautiful sunrise view. The staff is very helpful, especially Ina the reception lady. She helped me to book the motor bike and arrange my transfer to the west sumba. She also shared some tips for the destinations we need to visit in East Sumba. The food is amazing. Simple but tasty and make us full. Thank you for the hospitality 😊

The mosquitos. We recommend the room to be free from them a day before the guest check in.

Nice place to chill out.

Room was a bit small

Morinda is located in the beautiful hills near Wiangapu what gives an incredible view. The staff is very friendly and tries to help you as much as possible. They also arrange facilities, we stayed for two nights, one morning we went on the morning kayak tour and the next day we went sunrise trekking through the hills. The food in the restaurant was good!

F&B - improvable, especially in the dessert department and beverages (some wine or other options). Room - quite basic, which we were ok with given the unique setting. But bear this in mind. Sunrise kayak - while it was a great experience, it was definitely too short. Its likely ~30mins of Kayaking total, we'd expect it to be at least 1hr or anyway know before-hand that it will be this short.

Staff - Freddy & his family were great all along, supportive and informative about local traditions & experiences. Views & location - after visiting waterfalls, beaches, cliffs etc, it was great to be in this alternative location with amazing views of the Wairinding hills and river. Sunrise kayak - amazing views, incredible peace, fantastic start to the day. Breakfast - rich and with a nice view.

Waking up with amazing view of river valey of Sumba. It has perfect location in the top of the hills. The room if quite small with two matras but comfort enaugh especially with the view.

Sunrise canoe trip was nice but a little overpriced for what it was.

Amazing views!!! Staff were so friendly and helpful. The owner organised a tour for me and transport to West side of the island.

Amazing scenery, great food and very friendly personnel. We really enjoyed the place, there is a good vibe and the surroundings, the green hills and the blue river offer an amazing view. The food in the restaurant was the best we had in Sumba. Personnel is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Would've liked more eggs for breakfast

Great views! The small villas all have a balcony and I could just sit there forever. I also liked the village life leading up to Morinda. It is great to motorbike around. Although English of the staff was a bit limited they helped us perfectly with a cheap taxi to West Sumba.

Stayed in January 2023

no housekeeping / clean each day, restricted on activities (eg could not take kayaks out without going with a Morinda guide) and poor sealing of room to mosquitos (many during wet season)

beautiful location, friendly staff with mixed English, able to rent motorbike and organise transport to next location, quality food in restaurant

The loud music at night time from near by living locals was annoying , but I guess it’s not much can be done from hotel management . luckily I had air plugs, so wasn’t a problem .

Such a beautiful surroundings of hotel. Really good price for value. Food was good and cheap.

We loved everything about our stay at Morinda. The room was really nice, spotless clean, and came with an extravagant view over the mountains and river! The beds were so comfy, there’s AC, wifi and warm water. The staff was extremely friendly and always helpful, and the family who owns and runs Morinda was amazing. They gave us so many useful tips and made sure our stay was just perfect. Great location too with tons of things to do (hiking, kayaking, visiting weaving and other villages, waterfalls, beaches…). Only a 20 min drive to town, but really peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend staying at Morinda for a stay in the area/ Waingapu.

Kami benar-benar menyukai kami menginap di Morinda. Semua orang sangat baik dan membantu selama kami tinggal. Tempat dan layanannya luar biasa. Kami pergi untuk naik perahu dan mendaki pagi di bukit dan keduanya menakjubkan! Terima kasih khusus kepada Kak Medi karena telah memegang tangan saya ketika jalannya sangat curam :D Jika saya dapat memberikan peringkat lebih dari 10/10, saya akan melakukannya. Semoga ketemu lagi.. salam hangat dari Antje & Ikhsan

There is no wifi in the bungalows, but there is in the restaurant. The whole region suffered from a power problem (nothing you can do about that) so that was a bit difficult but the staff arranged battery powered lamps for all of the guests and started up a generator.

Off course the views, the dogs, the silence, the mountains. The bigger bungalows with good beds and terrace are lovely. The staff is young and helpful. While there was no power and no moon, we (guests and staff) all went out to watch the stars and the milkyway... magical.

The internet connection is unstable and the room is too small but it's all worth the price.

The view is so breathtaking. The staff are nice and funny. Food is top-notch. So quiet and calm. Two sweet dogs, Batman and Tuway who will follow you along the way. Bed is comfortable. Taking a morning boat down the river to enjoy the sunrise and scenery is highly recommended activity in Morinda.
