    Nothing

    Amazing people - helped with everything around starting from weather and directions to go to the transport when we had an accident. And the wife of the owner is just an amazing cook - the best Nasi and Mie Goreng we tried so far. The rooms are cosy and tidy, the linen was super, all the rest as well. Although we travelled as a pair, there was enough place for four in our room. Falling asleep to the sound of rain is just hilarious. From our experience - it's one of the best stays in Moni village.

    Need to check Google Maps for the correct location for the driver. Booking.com shows not fully correct location.

    Beautiful banana pancake and lots of fresh fruits for breakfast. Wonderful view from the terrass of the Appartements up the hill. Owner offers motorbike and transport by car if wanted.

    Maybe better curtains to block out sunlight

    Beautiful views, big room, comfy bed, hot shower. Breakfast with banana pancake (though it was pre pepared and cold) and fruit, coffee. Great location, next to MOPI’s cafe (best in town)!

    None, except the heartbreaking moment to say goodbye.

    Me and my friend arrived at Moni and we had the great surprise to be received by the host Sipriano at Ende airport. We couldn’t dream a better experience during our stay. Sipriano is the most smiling, welcoming and lovely local person that we met during our all trip in Indonesia. He is so attentive of every detail and always ready to give you a ride where you need to go. We highly recommend his place if you want to have a wonderful time in Moni.

    It could have been better if the neighbouring restaurant was not doing a live music. They said it's restricted to 10 PM, and normally only in the weekend. But it happened during my stay there in the weekdays, while we were trying to go sleep early for the next day much early morning hike to Kelimutu.

    Breakfast was good, Upper level rooms were excellent

    I had a really nice stay! The owners where welcoming and friendly, they even gave me a nice cup of tea with a snack. The location is great and the rooms where clean, spacious and good beds. When I arrived my back was hurting a lot so I asked if there was a chance of getting a massage somewhere. De mother of the owner was there within 1 hour and gave me a nice relaxing massage for a good price. Would definitely come back.

    The staff were lovely, I had a nice chat with the owner before leaving. The room was big, clean and there was a hot shower which we much appreciated after many nights without one at other accommodation. The breakfast was a banana pancake with a big side of watermelon and papaya. And there’s a restaurant pretty much next door that had good veggie options. I’d happily stay here again.

    Mahakali homestay is very well situated and the room was big, clean and cute. We got offered tea when we arrived, which we drank on the terrace with a beautiful view on the village. The breakfast was delicious (banana pancakes and fresh fruits). We were able to rent a scooter from sipriano and his family to go to Kelimutu for the sunrise and when we had to leave, sipriano brought us himself to Ende, which was very helpful. Terima kasih Mahakali homestay for welcoming us !

    The room is very big and with a wonderfull view. There is restaurant 30m away, an ATM and small local shops. The owner offers a welcome drink and give us a lot of information. He is also a driver and guide so you can organize the trips on Lombok directly at the stay.

    Missing a mosquito net (but we didn’t see mosquitos). Noise from the street (like everywhere in Flores). Shower could be improved. Some rooms like ours have view on the wall.

    Well located to go see Kelimutu at sunrise (35min scooter). Nice terrasse for breakfast and welcome coffee. Room was clean. Great value for money. Owner can arrange scooter rental and transportation to other cities.

    The water was quite cold when we came back from the hike. The curtains are not opaque, so make sure to use a eye mask if you can't sleep with light.

    Mahakali is a great place to stay if you want to visit Kelimutu. The room is spacious with a beautiful view on the village. The owner, Sipri, is very nice and helped us to organize our visit & transportation. The breakfast served after the hike was hearthy and delicious !
