Lock in a great price for Ciao Hostel – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Perfect hostel for seeing Komodo dragons. Book with the staff as they offer you a much better price than other tour operators in town! Free shuttle bus to town and airport. Excellent sunset views! They also show movies every night!

It was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff was extremely caring and friendly. Best I've every met at any hostel. The beds and rooms were very clean and comfortable. The view from the rooms were breathtaking. The shuttle service to the airport and into town was very helpful. Wifi worked all the time. Great value for money!! Will definitely come back to this hostel and recommend it to everyone visiting Labuan bajo. I was suppose to be here for 2 nights but ended up staying for a whole week.

Best hostel I have ever stayed in! The view of the harbour is stunning, great friendly staff, social meeting area, frre shuttle bus to town and airport and free movies every day!

Melissa, Australia

I stayed for 3 days. It has great view from every floor, maybe it is a hostel with the greatest view. Fast check in/out. Free shuttle in every hour, so it's easy to go everywhere. Clean bed, bathroom, toilet. Nice lobby, restaurant (great Italian food, large portion that i can eat for 2 time meals) and sunset point (has yoga class in the morning). Has storage room for free. Watching movie program in the evening is excellent.

Super nice staff and owner! Awesome location up on a hill that gives great views of the islands and sunset! Clean big and they play movie projections every night in the lobby...after all the diving and island tours there isn't much to do after 9pm in Labuan . They offer free airport pick ups and drop offs and because it's on the hill they offer free shuttles to and from the city...after a cab ride isn't that pricey if you're really stuck. For others this was a negative but I liked the no wifi in bedrooms...people actually spoke to each other ;)

Amazing view with a 15 minute walk to town. The free shuttle will pick you up every hour or less to avoid walking up the hill on the way back. Chill place to meet other travellers

This CIAO! hostel is the best where I have been in the world!

Minna, Finland

The view is just amazing! Overall one of the best Hostels I have ever stayed in. Very clean, friendly staff and the shuttle service is very useful, because it's a bit up the hill.

Daniel, Germany

Absolutely loved Labuan Bajo. The 2 day 1 night komodo trip was amazing! The hostel pick you up from Airport which is nice, and although the hostel is set back a little from the main area, there are free shuttles every hour. Amazing views.

“The Best Sunset!”

눉Well, the free shuttle service into town normally just starts at 5pm. And it can be quite a hassle to go down under the scorching heat, since the town is a bit far. Although the shuttle to the airport can by anytime. You can always rent a bike though. But be careful driving.
눇It has the best location to watch the beautiful sunset in Labuanbajo. I also like that we have our own locker, plus the shared bathrooms have been constantly clean throughout the day. And the free shuttle to the airport.

눉Nothing. Everything was great.
눇Best hostel I've been too. The staff is amazing. Super friendly, fun and helpful. The view is breathtaking, especially for sunsets. There's a movie night everyday which is also lots of fun. The food is amazing, made me feel like being in Italy. I got this hostel recommended by a friend and would recommend it to anyone else. Best place to stay in Labuan Bajo!

눉Staff. The Italian owner runs à tight ship and things go smoothly when he's on site. When he's absent, staff are not very helpful and cut corners. There's a free shuttle service to town that leaves hourly and it seems to be a burden for the staff to run, so service is not very reliable. It's unfortunate considering the hostel is far up the mountain and really requires a shuttle to get to.
눇Awesome place. Great view and very clean. Lots of in-house activities like free yoga and free movie night every night. Amazing place!

눉it's quite far to the fish market or to other resto by walking, but there is free shuttle, so no prob. The food is quite expensive, they're yummy though. :D

눉Don't stay here if your planning trips as the shuttle is never on time/they change there mind about when it will run/they just won't stop to pick you up. The walk isn't bad (15-20 mins up hill) but if you have to do it after a long day trip and after dinner it's annoying. Some showers and toilets didn't work. There's lots of mosquitoes and wasps
눇They put on a movie each night

눉No breakfast was included for the price nor were there any indonesian dishes to buy. As a budget traveller this place is a little pricey. It's far from the city and if you just want to chill in the evening and get food there it can cost a little bit.
눇The view from this hostel is incredible. It's such a good idea on the top of the hill. I started in a 4 bed dorm which had aircon and a good view, it was very clean but a little expensive so I moved to the rooftop (which I knew nothing about until I got there) it's open, no aircon but they do have mosquito nets and it's much cheaper. I actually preferred being on the rooftop. The shuttle bus to the town Free water Help planning trips

눉We booked a 2 day 1 night snorkel trip through the Komodo national park through ciao hostel. There were 11 people booked for 1 boat with only 3 cabins , with 2 beds each and three pads to sleep on which barely fit under the covered area. The boat crew didnt speak a bit of English which made it extremely difficult to communicate. Lucky we had an Indonesian girl on the tour with us to help us , but if we didn't we would be screwed. The food was mediocre , nothing special. Just be cautious when booking this snorkel trip.
