Even though the hostel is high up on the hills, the free shuttle makes it very convenient to get to/from town. The same shuttle also picks up and drops off at the airport. And because the hostel is high up on the hills, the view is amazing from the rooms, the restaurant, and the rooftop bar. There's also free water refill and movie nights every night if you're into that. I'd definitely stay here again!

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.

Bathrooms in poor condition. The third floor bathroom out of work, so in the middle of the night you had to change floor. In the second floor also, the showers and toilets in poor condition. It’s easy to be much better
Incredible view of Labuan Bajo bay. For this reason and only this, you can stay in Ciao hostel! Very polite and helpful staff. Value for money. Free shuttle bus from and to the airport! Unbelievable for a hostel! Open air dormitory

There was a drunk man (found out later he was a driver of the hotel) came in to the room and wake me up at 3 in the morning and asked me if i want to move to downstairs and asked me again if he could borrow my earphones. Hope this won’t happen again.
The staff are so nice and friendly. The toilet and shower are clean. Also the bed !

My night sleep was not good. The beds are comfy but so many bugs, even with the nets (they had a bunch of big holes). Also, at about 4am the mosques have their prayers in megaphones, so you probably won't be sleeping for 30 minutes while they go on.
The dorm where I stayed had no walls, but the most beautiful view. It was amazing! Bathrooms and showers are ok. Staff is very nice and although the location is not ideal (far from city center), the hostel offers a shuttle service, including picking you up at the airport.

I asked about the airport transfer and they confirmed the pick up time with me. I didn't understand that it was a shuttle service with a fixed schedule. My flight was a bit delayed and the shuttle was probably gone already or I couldn't find it. So I was walking to the hostel, because I didn't know that there will be another pick up...they could have told me the later pick up time as well just in case.
Awesome hostel with amazing view! Everything was fine, quite clean, I got a towel, they have water to refill, I could use the luggage storage during my Komodo tour even though I didn't book the tour through them. The hostel has a nice vibe! The shuttle to/from the city centre is a big plus since the hostel is up on a hill.

The showers and toilets seem to be a bit tempremental, but there's so many of them you'll be sure to find one that works.
The staff in this hostel are so friendly and are super helpful. They have regular shuttles into town and the airport too. The views from this hostel can't be beaten and it has a lovely restaurant and rooftop bar.

staff could be a little more informative and friendly/enthusiastic. Overall customer service could be better. It looks like they help you because they get paid to do so, not because they love to be helpful. Some do a good job though. Mosquito nets could use replacing. Mine had many holes in them and I think the same goes for others. The ones they use are not ideal for the beds.
Great dorm with an awesome view! Sunsets are beautiful and waking up with a view like that is great. Perfect wifi. Restaurant has good food for a reasonable price (not the cheapest) They have a free shuttle service that's does set time pick ups and drop offs to town. It's also at walkable distance from the airport (if you like walking)

1. Food and drink are over price. One Americano priced Rp. 25.000 before tax. It would be better to eat outside. 2. There are not enough fans in the room, and thus you have to ask others to share with you if they keep occupying these. 3. On my second night there, there was a party lasted after midnight, very very noisy.
1. The view is very nice. 2. Most of the staffs were kind and polite. 3. Although they have water heater, I only had cold shower, which was ok cause the weather was warm. 4. The hostel is on the hill and shuttle bus runs every hour from 17:00-22:00. 5. No hairdryer nor soap/shampoo, but with this price it’s acceptable for me.

As a female its not nice to wait at that airport when it gets dark because the taxi drivers are kind of intimidating. Our pickup from the hostel was 40 min late even though its only 1 km and we felt very uncomfortable there.
beds are comfy
