Great views over the whole bay, especially sunsets were wonderful. Free shuttle bus to/from airport and town Delicious food, I was very happy with their selection of meals. Cinema every night was definitely very nice as there isn't much to do around the hostel. AC worked well, WiFi as well most of the time.

The property directly faces the harbor and ocean, you can get a really nice view from 2nd & 3rd floor

If you pay for this place, you’re paying for the view. It’s also very nice all around, just slightly more expensive than the other places in town, but that’s because the view is incredible. They even refunded us 85% of a night we booked because we ended up taking an overnight boat tour. (Btw I wouldn’t pay more than 700/800 for the boat tour. We paid 1000 at the hostel but walking down to the city you can pay less. You will have to pay more in park fees with either FYI.)

It is on the hill and the shuttle bus runs every hour, so if you miss it - you have to climb the hill on your own. There was no hot water in any of the showers and according to other guests - same thing happened the day before.
Clean room, well-organised hostel. Fantastic piadina in the restaurant upstairs! Tastes like authentic Italian food! Good idea with the shuttle bus.

I was expecting more for the price. No towels, hangers in the room. The restaurant is expensive.
I liked the restaurant at the top of the building. Free shuttles to the city and airport every hour. They arranged one of the best tours of my life. Very helpful staff.

The shower on third floor has no door, and the curtain was so thin. Same goes to the shower on second floor. Most of them didn't even have proper lock :((
The Hostel was really great. They offer free pickup from Airport, shuttle available between hotel & downtown every hour, and the staffs were so helpful. The view was amazing from my room, esp for sunset. Had a really great time there!

The staff is friendly, but sometimes a bit unorganized. For example, they forgot to fetch us from the airport although they confirmed it the same day. After texting them, they sent us the shuttle without any issue. As we wanted to book the tour to the caves (which requires at least 5 participants), we were informed that the tour will probably not take place since we are the only ones. However, we met some others next day, who were also planning to go to the caves the same day and had apparently also told the reception about their wish to participate in the tour. Although the two cats are cute and a nice distraction during daytimes, the constant miaoing in front of the dorm doors and sneaking into the rooms when going to the bathrooms at 3am is annoying. Same for getting them out of the room. Some of the beds might need refurbishing to get rid of the squeaking when moving. Some things could be changed from our perspective, however, we would stay at CIAO hostel again next time. The location is calm and you do not have all the scooter traffic in front of the house like in the village.
The view from the hostel over Labuan Bajo is fantastic in particular from the rooftop bar in the evenings. The location is a bit outside of the village, which is great because the village itself is quite noisy and dirty. The hostel offers a free shuttle to the center and regular pick-ups from town. Otherwise it is an about 10-15 minute walk. The facilities are clean as well as the rooms.

Toilets don't have a hot shower, even though all the staffs/signage will mention that hot shower works. Breakfast is not included. The restaurant is a bit costly, whereas street food is really good and cheap. As these are islands, power/electricity issues are there sometimes.
Location and view from the rooms/cafe/ terrace are really awesome. It's away from the town but they have free shuttle service which picks you up at different timings from the town & Airport which makes it worth staying there. Rooms & Toilets were clean. Free Shuttle has fixed timing, so make sure you at correct pick-up point / you have sufficient time to reach the airport.
