Bintang Flores Hotel

We enjoyed our stay at this small resort just outside Labuan Bajo. Clean rooms, spotless sheets and towels and incredibly helpful and charming staff. There was a lovely pool overlooking the small beach, from which we watched glorious sunsets each evening. Packed breakfasts were available for anyone going out at 5am on a Komodo Islands trip. Very close to the new airport (but no noise) - so close that if you forget your hand luggage, it’s a 4-minute ride to pop back and collect it 😊

The pool over looking the beach, and gardens are stunning. Rooms are clean. Staff at Wet Frog diving onsite were very helpful booking local tours.

The hotel standard is high and consistent with the number of stars. However, there are at least 2 features that distinguish this facility. Firstly, the location. It is excellent, far enough from the urban hustle and bustle of Labuan Bajo, but at the same time close enough to allow for a walk. Secondly - the garden. Great recognition is due to the gardener, whose daily work creates a special climate of a tropical Eden. In addition, the hotel service - impeccable, the laundry - excellent, the swimming pool with islands well-kept, the restaurant - impeccable, breakfasts good, although with a large predominance of Asian dishes. There are also disadvantages. The main problem is the sea, because there is no sea. The water is dirty and in my opinion unsuitable for swimming. Perhaps it is a matter of the wind, but during my 8 days at the hotel, swimming in the sea was out of the question. A long pier would significantly improve the situation, at least for adults. On the hotel premises we will find the Wet Frog diving center, but the quality of services does not meet the expected standard, unlike the amenities of the hotel itself.

The pool with the sea view is amazing and well maintained. We also appreciated the regular room service, bringing both clean towels and bed linen. Room was large, bathroom was large, plenty of hot water. WiFi was strong and stable. We were also happy with the diving center.

The hotel is exactly as shown in the photos – clean, beautiful, and well-maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The facilities are excellent, and everything was very comfortable. Although the hotel is not right in the city center, it’s easily accessible by scooter or even on foot in about 20 minutes. Since it’s still close to town, it remains within the main pickup/drop-off zones for any external activities booked separatly, which is very convenient. Highly recommended!
