I was extremely happy with this package tour. I had only three nights in Flores . With one night in Labaun Bajo I wanted to see as much as possible, with the main focus to see the three colored crater lakes at sunrise on top of Kelimutu volcano. I was also traveling solo. The company Eco lodge Indonesia were fantastic... More

As a tour operator I have often stayed at this hotel. Well, its our company policy to always put clients here. The reason is that the hotel is well designed and located. It is perched on lush and green hill overlooking ricefield and a small creek running in between. The existence of Moni Kelimutu Ecolodge is indeed an added value... More

We wish to thank the writer of this review who has looked at many aspects of our Kelimutu Lodge with care and thought. The management of Ecolodgesindonesia has put a great deal of money and manpower into this lodge. We have just purchased two more blocks of lands (one the rice fields accross the river) to ensure special guest experiences. More

As previous commentators have stated, this place is too expensive considering the average rates of hotels in Flores in general. The hotel is cashing in from its close location to the national park, lack of alternative hotels in Moni and from the "eco" title. It was not very clear, apart from a few sun panels, what is so eco about... More

The hotel has a nice location and is also nicely built and arranged. The rooms are neat, clean but not very spacious. They have a small balcony that is big enough to sit on a chair, but that's it. The lodges have a larger balcony / terrace but otherwise they did not look very different. So better safe the money... More

This place was 3-4 times as expensive as some other places we stayed in Flores...so did it deliver value for money? The villa was certainly very comfortable, and I would have no difficulty in believing that it is the most upmarket place to stay in Moni (it certainly was more upmarket than other places we stayed in Flores). It was... More

We are responding to the complaints re cost of our rooms and restaurant, which are not accepted. ROOMS. For a hotel which has a unique, beautiful and peaceful situation in a valley facing Mount Kelimutu, we are cheap by any western standards. We offer total peace and quiet in lovely gardens with fantastic views. The comparison with other hotels in... More

I stayed here for one night (only 5 hours) in a downstairs room below the check-in area (not one of the lodges). Location-wise this is a good place to stay to reach the Kelimutu volcanic crater lakes. The room itself was fine but the sheets on the bed were stained. The restaurant is decent but the service is slow if... More

This report is from a guest who only stayed 5 hours in our room below the office. Our cottages and rooms above the restaurant are much more attractive in their views and situation. We do not believe that you can judge the experience of our Kelimutu on a short stay. With thanks, Alan Wilson, Chairman of The Board, Ecolodgesindonesia More

The accommodation was good, clean and spacy. We still hear the birds in the morning. Hot water works well. We were staying in the bungalow, which has an open air showroom.

After booking 3 months in advance, once we got there, the rude "receptionist" told us that there was no place for us in the hotel. We showed him the confirmation email approved by his reservation manager. But he claimed that there was a problem with the email from Bali. This is obviously totally unacceptable. He was absolutely unhelpful and he... More
