Accommodation in the middle of the forest, secluded and ideal for relaxing. You can be in Labuan Bajo in half an hour (with a Scooter) and there are various things to explore all around. We spent four nights here and felt very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and conjured up really delicious food, which stood out from many other accommodations. Even restaurants could learn a thing or two here. There are no charging facilities or WiFi, but there is a café nearby where you have reception and can charge your devices. We would love to come back 😊

Beautiful eco Homestay! Felt really special, stayed here with my father on the way to Wae Rebo. Had a beautiful dinner made for us and breakfast too, complete simplicity in nature and the hosts made us feel at home <3 HOMESTAYS >> RESORTS, support local people in beautiful Flores ✨✨

Éco tourism at its best, eating from a local garden, sleeping in nature and enjoying the warm welcome of our host Lars and his team

Probably best to rent a moto so its easier to get around. You can flag down a ride from the road but it takes awhile. The location is a bit far from the town in the village which can be nice but also inconvenient

I implore you to at least come here for dinner if you aren’t staying here. Eating is one of my favorite activities, and this is some if the best food I’ve ever had. They accommodated my vegetarian diet, and all of the food was slow cooked over open fire. It was all fresh, healthy and delicious. The property is beautiful, and the little bungalow is very cute and quiet

Access to property needs improvement. Barking dogs very early in the morning.

Basic facilities but that’s the point of staying in a place like this. Nature is beautiful and staff members are nice and helpful. Food was delicious. Good value for money.

Nothing at all.

It was just so wonderful! Liz, the owner, is a great person and I really enjoyed talking to her for hours. You should definitely book dinner, it's worth it. The breakfast is also excellent. There are also many daily activities that you can take part in spontaneously. I can really recommend staying there, I will definitely come back! Ps: do not expect WiFi. That's part of the experience!

Beautiful property located not far from Labuan bajo. Well worth having dinner there one night. Melo cafe is also close by and does nice food (but be prepared for a hard walk uphill to reach it unless you have a motorbike). Overall we had a lovely stay.

Considering the nature of this location, I (and other fellow guests) expected and introduction to the place or at least more presence from the owner, that did not show up at all. We opted to have the local tribal dinner, however we found it pricey for the quantity of food offered (not talking about taste as this is subjective), and the vegetarian options for my companion were considered but not in enough quantity (there were other 2 vegetarian guests on a total of 4, and no vegetarian food was left).

The nature, the quietness, the cute cats, the relax this location offers, the common area (restaurant).

Nothing I didn’t like.

What did I like about the property? Well everything actually! We liked it soo much we visited twice in a few days. The location is just amazing. A little bit away from the main road (not a very good road though) and therefore very quiet. The place is surrounded by beautiful forests full of birds. The lodges are simple but exactly enough. Be aware there’s no electricity and wifi, so make sure to charge your devices. The food is simply astonishing. Locally grown, made on woodfire and served with love. We ordered the vegan option, which was very reasonably priced. The staff working there is very kind and hospitable. If you look for accommodation close to Labuan Bajo or on your way to the east, definitely stay here!

Our stay was amazing. The huts are typical from the Manggarai people, who live in the area, and it is the mission of Liz, one of the owners to provide that experience to her guests. The huts are comfy and the place is just amazing, surrounded by nature and quiet. The staff was great too, super nice and super helpful. We had the chance to talk to the owners of the place and they’re really nice people, we felt very welcomed. We also did the tribal dinner and it was delicious, can really recommend! I recommend the whole experience of straying at Sten Eco Lodge!

Beautiful place in the middle of the countryside! This is so quite and peaceful

Location was a bit far from Bajo city, so better to rent a motorcyle to help you get around the area.

Such an amazing place if you want to be surrounded by nature and getting to know the real culture of flores. We learn so much from Tara - the owner, had great food and peaceful time. We’re definitely coming back when we’re in Flores!

Suggestions: chargers in room, hot water, more food options as portions were very small

Very stunning location, comfy rooms

Very secluded and quiet place - we enjoyed it.

The only area for improvement (which is probably beyond their control) was that it was a bit difficult to reach with the motor bike cause the dirt road getting there is terrible. But the location makes up for it! Absolutely beautiful!

We had to do a late check-in, and they were really nice about it. Extremely accommodating and the staff was super!

As someone who easily gets very cold, I could have used a thicker blanket/duvet.

The host welcomed us warmly and we had dinner after a long day with the other guests, which was great. The room was super cute and there was such a nice vibe, with chicks and cats walking around in the garden. Unfortunately we arrived to late to chill in the hammocks and enjoy the garden, but we will do that the next time we visit.

It was a dream stay on every level. Deeply immersed in the forest, surrounded by nature and peace. The rooms are very clean and there is everything you need, essential yet amazing.

Original and off the grid

I was hoping to have cultural activities with the lodge. However, no one offered or explained about the availability. Whenever I stay in a small establishments, I always find interaction with the owners are important. Unfortunately, I was not able to get that this time. I wish I could have talked with the owner directly and learned about their experience/passion about surrounding local community.

I really liked how the lodge is very quite and calm. It was a great opportunity for us to become one with nature. I also really liked how the place is clean, and the mattress was very comfortable. We did not have any difficulties to sleep :)

We rented a scooter in Labuan Bajo to drive here. It was useful to visit waterfalls and cafes. The breakfast and dinners were simple but delicious. Clean facilities. Good location.

The staff was super welcoming and friendly. A stay at Sten Eco Homestay is an experience. It is located in a jungle surrounded by nature, the family grows everything themself, even the cacao for the breakfast pancakes. However, at night, there‘s quite a lot of animals around, so, as I said - it‘s an experience. But everything is clean.
