Jl. Golo Silatey, 86554 Labuan Bajo, Indonesia –

Lock in a great price for Ciao Hostel – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Friendly staff, movie nights, nice view of the harbor

Itchy, Netherlands

Amazing staff, super friendly and they showed me such a good time in Labuan Bajo on new years! The hostel is very clean, there arr seperate rooms for each toilet and shower which is AMAZING, and I really enjoyed the movie nights. The view is top notch as well, with a nice restuarant and lounge upstairs to watch the sunset and grab a drink. I miss it already!

Rachael, United States of America

super friendly staff, simple check in, affordable price with great view and facilities. the mosquito cover on the bed is very helpful and instagramable. although I chose opened air room on 3rd floor with no AC, the room is still comfortable. all areas in the hostel is also very clean. I like its free airport transfer and shuttle car facilities. The shuttle car helps me to go to the downtown since Ciao is located on the hill. Plus, the shuttle car is available per hour to take you and pick you up in the destined pick up points, so you can get a life in the downtown! Another point, every night at 9pm Ciao hosts a movie time in the lounge on ground floor. so all the guests gather in the lounge to watch movie together. it's a good point as Ciao facilitates all the guest to see each other and makes room to socialise.

The sunset view from the hostel roof top and restaurant is amazing.

The view is amazing (especially from the rooftop bar and 12-bed room on the top floor) and the staff is so helpful. The restaurant on the second floor is delicious and reasonably priced. Recommended this place to everyone we met and many of them came here and loved it as well!

“Bed bugs marred a nice stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The women's dorm room has bed bugs. I woke up with maddeningly itchy welts all over my body each day I stayed there, but I attributed those to the many, many mosquitoes in the room (There is dengue and malaria in Labuan Bajo, so be warned). Another person staying in my room woke me up one night saying there was a bed bug on her bed, but I was so sleepy I told myself it was nothing and fell back asleep -- unfortunately I should have listened to her. She was quietly moved to another room, but no one else in my room was informed or moved. I woke up my final morning, and found a bed bug on the wall by my bed. The staff came to see, and all agreed it was a bed bug. I rushed to bag up all my things and leave. Unfortunately now I don't know if I'm going to be carrying bedbugs for the remainder of my two-month trip. The eggs and babies can be almost impossible to see or treat. The staff offered to move me to a different room. I don't think that's a smart idea. Anyone in the women's dorm could be carrying bedbugs, and moving people's clothing and belongings will just spread the infestation. They needed to offer to take our clothing to a laundry place (30 minutes of high heat in a dryer kills bed bugs). They also needed to give us a refund -- the least they could do for a potentially trip-ruining experience. They said they would close the women's room for a few days. It needs to be more than a few days. They need to throw away the mattresses and get a professional treatment of the furniture. When another guest and I said the mattresses need to be thrown away the staff didn't seem too keen on that idea.
Friendly staff, movie nights, nice view of the harbor

The staff is very nice. The hostel provides free shuttle to the airport/town, which is quite convenience. You can sign up activities at the hostel. The hostel shows movies every night and have a restaurant upstairs. If you stay longer, they will provide a discount. Great for value.

“Great, good for the price, great view.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
There was a lot of noise from the staff in the early hours, the scheduled shuttles didn't pick me up at the airport and missed the scheduled pickups twice leaving me alone in the dark a few times and having to pay for my own taxi. The bathrooms were smelly every day which was a shame. There was nowhere to hang anything to dry- mostly people swim or dive there so it would help as a bonus, the ladders on the beds are super uncomfortable to climb and move a lot. The wifi wasn't great in some areas and quite regularly and the power went out a lot, but that's not really the hostel's fault.
I liked the evening films, the comfort of the room, free towels and locker + lock. I loved the view and the food was great, the drinks were also great and the information and support given was great too. The staff were extra supportive with needs, one staff member bought me some soap and shampoo from the market instantly as I forgot mine- as a gesture I didn't ask for this which was really kind. The aircon was great. The space is really amazing too.

“A very good place to have a stay. preferably if you're doing a solo travelling.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Single Bed in 12-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

- the hot shower didn't work - less privacy since the concept of the hostel is sharing rooms - the meal prices in the cafe are expensive (nasi pecel sayur for about IDR 50,000 to be exact. normally nasi pecel sayur costs IDR 10,000-20,000) but the view from the resto & rooftop bar are extraordinary. - no elevator (it's challenging for me to bring the luggages in our 3rd floor bedroom, but the staff will help you to bring your luggages upstairs. Ciao has a storage room on ground floor to store your huge luggages.)
super friendly staff, simple check in, affordable price with great view and facilities. the mosquito cover on the bed is very helpful and instagramable. although I chose opened air room on 3rd floor with no AC, the room is still comfortable. all areas in the hostel is also very clean.

the location is on top of the hill. if you miss the free shuttle, it's kinda scary to walk alone back to the hostel. however, they have service van to fetch you but need to pay IDR50k.
the view from the room and cafe is amazing. warm and friendly staff. mixed dorm (4 pax) is spacious and very clean. highly recommended.

The access to reach the homestay. It was kind of difficult to walk uphill to reach the homestay. Once you made it, sweat would be all over your body. Anyway, you can have ojeg tho, only around 10,000 Rupiah from the city.
The sunset view from the hostel roof top and restaurant is amazing.

The spacious open dorm with single, very comfortable beds with mosquito nets is best. The sunset view over the bay is awesome! Extra points to the reliable shuttle service to the village and even to the airport for free! Big points for the 2d1n Komodo boat trip booked at Ciao. It was worth every Rupiah.
