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 😊

Friendly and attentive staff, good location, value for money for dinner in the restaurant. The staff were very helpful in getting taxis for us and advising on day trips and activities. Breakfast options were plentiful and delicious. I liked too that they had many trainees on the staff who were carefully supervised. Good to see the hotel actively supporting and developing their industry.

The hotel has lovely grounds leading to a good sized pool & a beach. The staff were friendly & helpful, the meals can be eaten outside the main dining area which was very pleasant. The breakfast was ok, nothing special, there is an egg station so you can choose how you wish your eggs to be cooked. We had dinner, again the food was ok, not better than ok. We had a nicer upgraded room this time with a larger & better finished bathroom, the last bathroom was smaller & had a plastic shower curtain. The hotel is in a great location with those sea views, there is a dive centre on site.

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.
