Reviews of Three Queen Villa and Homestay

Loved the location, the staff were friendly, food was delicious

all good

The setting is wonderful, and Lydia and the staff are very helpful and kind. We ate some fantastic fish in the evenings - especially the night it was cooked over a wood fire. My favourite food in Sumba. Also special to stay in a bungalow based on Sumbanese traditional style.

Some work on new accommodation is being completed. No problem with noise but it had temporarily changed the path to the bungalows. I struggled with the large steps on the alternate pathway.

The room is confortable and make us feel like we were in a traditional house. Lydia was very helpful with everything we needed. We had some meals there and the food was very good.

Lots of mosquitos in the room, maybe a net in the toilet openings would help

It was clean and had a beautiful big pool. The staff, especially the kitchen staff were very sweet.

There were unfortunately so many mosquitoes in the bathroom and room. The owner is definitely taking measures to limit them (fogging, mosquito nets etc) but there were still lots, enough for us to leave a few nights earlier than we had planned to stay. The location is very beautiful however very far from any other accom, restaurants or shops. They had a monkey kept in a tiny cage. It was very distressed and sad to see.

It is family run and everyone is so nice and helpful. We went fruit shopping all together in town, and got a little insights into the local life which was nice. The access to the beach is great. Quiet and in nature.

Unfortunately a lot of mosquitoes in the room and the internet is not great. Was a problem because we had to work. But Lydia is constantly trying to improve things so I think in the future this will be solved. :)

Fantastic place to stay right on the beach in the peaceful fishing village of Wanokaka. Lydia and her family are fantastic hosts and make you feel very welcome. Great food. Fresh Lobster one night, BBQ fish the next!

Beautiful beach cabin, hosted by a lovely family

Lovely bungalows, comfortable bed. Beautiful, clean pool. Delicious breakfast and dinner. Very friendly and helpful owners. We got a lot of needed information about Sumba. We enjoyed our stay there.

The rooms are beautiful. In SUMBA style! Cosy with all the comforts! Air conditioning and hot water! Lidya and her staff helped us for every request! They picked us up at the airport and made us find the scooters ready for visit the island! Every evening they had a barbeque to cook fresh fish!

Everything is perfect

We love Asia and spend every year a month or more in the region. We found Three Queens exceptional for three reasons: First the location on the amazing and basically empty Rua Beach in beautiful Sumba. Second our hosts Lidya and Brad together with their three daughters and extended family pampered us throughout our stay with food and advice. Third, the four villas in traditional Sumba style are not only very beautiful, but also furbished and decorated with style and every detail is thought through.

During our visit, the construction of the pool area had not yet been finished, but it was nevertheless very refreshing to alter between swimming in the ocean and the pool

I loved everything, Lydia is very kind and she is always ready to help you and satisfy each request.

Nothing

unique location with fish from the sea to your plate. simple but a great surroundings of rice fields and several of the marapu villages

relaxed

Three Queen Villa and Homestay is located at the mouth of a river. You have a beautiful view of the bay. This is not a beach resort but the host will help you to reach any place you desire to visit, and there's plenty of that. You feel taken care of and the food served is good.

Bungalows are really nice and the owners are super sweet and helpful. Even in the remote place like this you feel like home.

A fantastic place to spend our first days in Sumba. I wish we could stay for longer. The place is located near the end of the road just across from a beautiful beach. Great surf. Lydia and Brad (and their three queens) are amazing hosts and we felt so incredibly welcome there. All the other guests we met were also great. Felt like staying with friends. Food was delicious, the breakfast is simple but the grilled fish dinner is incredible. Room was comfortable and the AC works well.

Construction noise from the new pool, which was unfortunately just being built when we were there. Apparently it finished just a few days after we left... With the pool finished its going to be great.

Great spot for beautiful sunrises and lovely to swim in the river. Kids had a blast .

Nothing.

There are many personalities to this beach whose fine sands are forever simutaeneously sculpted by both the outgoing river interacting with the seashore and tides. The bungalows are charming both in style and function, with good AC and hot water. Well-rounded, tasty and healthy farm breakfast to fresh grilled fish dinners in an environment that reminds me of being in a tropical farmland adjacent to wilderness open oceans alive with abundance. To top it all off, the friendly and family-style hospitality is 2nd to none. with the owner providing genuine empathy, local authenticity, and an understanding of tourism and transportation logistics in these remote lands.

The host family was really nice with some cute kids. Nice villas with an ocean view. Lydia and Brad were so helpful with whatever we needed to ask for. We were able to share their fridge etc. Lydia can cook for guests. We enjoyed every dinner with all the guests at the dining area including some BBQ nights. And the location was the best for us surfers as it's just in front of the surf breaks. It would be great when the pool is finished. I'm looking forward to it. Great to get to know the family so I can come back next time!

There were lots of mosquitos in the villa. But we understand that maybe it was because there were some rainy days. Also if there were a few more tables and chairs in the dining area, it would be more comfortable to share with everyone.

Everything was great, from the accommodation location, the view, the food prepared by the host, and the service they provided. We had such a great time. If you are looking to have a good rest next to the beach, meeting friendly local people, for a reasonable price, this is the family you want to meet. Me and my friends had a lot of fun too. Thank you Lydia and Brad !

Lydia and the queens! Quiet and cleen! Nice view

Close to a beautiful beach, great clean and comfortable accommodation. The owner Lydia and partner are attentive and accommodating. Their focus are the guests and the well-being of village peoples. We will be back for sure!

Incomplete project but don’t let that stop you - we had a wonderful stay.
