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.)

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.

We had a small issue with beds allocation that ended up in a misunderstanding ( bed was give to 2 people as staff didn’t realise it was already allocated) - it was communicated but at that point nothing else could be done. The toilets are clean but can be a bit smelly.
The location and the views are amazing. Also the free shuttle every hour to the center of Labuan Bajo makes everything easier and comfortable. The decoration and dynamic of the place is very nice and also the price was very good!

“Beautiful ocean views”

-The airport shuttle is a car that goes every hour to the city, the airport, the hostel and back. So you cannot really relay on the timing. It would not have been a problem but we were told that a driver will pick us up and we were obviously not looking for a real shuttle. -Since the breakfast is not included a bit expensive. -Nobody tells you exactly how the komodo trip will be. The pictures of the boat are not like it is. The boat is less comfortable and dirtier.
-Very clean hostel. -The dorm is has beautiful views -You can organise komodo trips directly with the hostel ( even though they cost more than in the center for the same offer) -Clean bathrooms

There is a water tank behind the top dorm that clicks and makes a loud noise any time somebody uses shower/tap/flush. It woke & kept me up at 6:15am both mornings that I stayed there, and a few others in the dorm also commented on this. Very annoying.
A very beautiful view from all the biggest dorm, cafe & rooftop. Free water refills. Hot showers on 2nd floor. Free shuttles to & from town at selected times. Super easy to book bus onwards at reception.

A bit too pricy in my opinion for a dorm. Power shortcuts. Sometimes for hours. The tour company having a desk at hostel is unorganized. We booked a 2 days tour and have been told next day the boat is full. Guys didn't let know each other about my booking. So better to make sure twice if you book with them. My days were scheduled and this was a bit issue for me as I came for the tour.
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.
