    Amazing guesthouse. Clean room, tasty breakfast and most importantly the hosts are so nice and helpful. Marselino helped us to organize Mount Inerie hike and even woke up in the night to make sure we can start the journey without any problems. Also we had problems with our scooter so Marselino told us where we can get it fixed. Couldn’t ask anything more, perfect stay! Price quality ratio is excellent.

    The sink leaked in our room which got some of our belongings wet so was out of use. It is a Homestay and very central so be prepared for it to be noisy.

    Marselino’s place is really central in Bajawa and there are restaurants nearby. The room was spacious and had a comfortable bed and on request had a nice hot shower! The staff who made us breakfast were so friendly and the food was really tasty! Marselino helped us organise our onward travel which was very helpful!

    A little late response to my messages from Marcelino who i met the morning i was leaving but still he helped me even at last time... The house is difficult to find but you just ask someone, this was not a problem for me i just wanted to mention it..

    Cozy place, close to some good restaurants i liked. The lady was very kind and prepared for me some pancakes...

    We did not see Marcelino during our stay (whereas other reviews/travellers mentioned he was very helpful) Lot of noise during the night (people still doing things, dogs fighting…) The property is not easy to find (no signs) - there’s actually two entrances

    Bed was comfortable There is hot water, but you should ask to prepare it for you (first night we didn’t ask and the water was boiling hot) Free water refill

    The place is tucked away off a side road and quite hard to find. You have to ask the local people and go down a path behind other houses. The neighbour’s dog yaps all the time so it is a little noisy, but that’s Indonesia!

    The host is extremely kind and helpful in renting a scooter and arranging onward transport. The beds are comfortable and with a little notice, you can get a hot shower. It is a very short walk to the main road through Bajawa with shops, restaurants and an ATM. Plenty to see in the local area.

    Only a cold shower but if you ask they can make it hot for you. A loud dog nearby yelped all night but this isn't their fault and noise seems to be unavoidable in Bajawa.

    Really friendly staff - Marcelino helped with renting a scooter, a guide up Mt Inerie, and onward transport to Bajawa all at very reasonable rates. Room is a fair size and beds comfy. Very clean - the outside area was swept or mopped I think multiple times a day.

    a little hard to find (no signs on the road), to join the guesthouse you have to cross a steep and unlighted garden

    Clean basic room, hot water available. Very cheap, so definitly good value for price. Staff is very nice

    The owner, Marselino, helped us solve all the problems, except renting the locomotive, changing the locomotive for us when the locomotive broke down during the trip, helping us with the guide for climbing the Inerie mountain, contacting Ruteng for a chartered car, and also because we just happened to encounter continuous holidays. Therefore, it is impossible to exchange US dollars for Indonesian rupiah urgently. The beauty of Bajawa and the homestay experience of Marselino left us with fond memories!
