Tambora Homestay

I had checked out of this homestay thinking I could do all of my sightseeing in one day. Because the places were spread out, I needed a second day for sightseeing. So I checked in for one more night at this homestay. Unfortunately, the standard room I was in the night before was not available. So I had to upgrade. The room I upgraded to had a fridge. Not much different though. Again, the WiFi was great but had to ask for a towel for after my shower. I was served hot tea and pastries again for breakfast. The two young men who both helped me individually were always very kind and helpful. The water pressure was very weak in the shower. But at least it was a hot shower. There was a sink outside the bathroom, but it had leaky pipes. So I turned the water off each time I finished using it. And this time the tv only had 2 working channels, both local stations.

I arrived very early in the morning and the night worker showed me to my room. The first room only had a traditional mandi so I asked to be moved to a room with a regular shower. He found me a room right away with a shower. It was a bit dark in the dressing area in front of the mirror as light socket on the ceiling was missing a light. The bathroom did smell a bit and a cockroach appears the following morning in the bathroom. But they did have hot water showers and the bed was comfortable. There was a tv in the room, but only got 5 stations which were all local Indonesian channels. You have to ask for a bath towel to dry with after your shower as the towel isn’t readily in the room. The young man at the front desk was nice enough to serve me hot tea and a few pastries in the morning. The toilet was a bit difficult to flush and was constantly running. I had to turn the water on each time I used the toilet and off when I finished. The WiFi was great. One of the front desk workers spoke to me for a bit about my sightseeing plan for the next two days. They were able to find me a reliable driver for my sightseeing adventure.

no shower, no soap no shampoo, room was very dark, cupboard color also very dark, floor very dirty. the light.

Nice place but low on service, one of the best at Bima but too far from downtown and many mosquitoes.

The place is very comfortable to stay. The atmosphere is good, like in the rice fields, you never get bored here, the employees are all very friendly.

Location far from where to eat, dirty and unfriendly waiters, rooms not cleaned and dirty, smell everywhere.

Okay for backpackers according to price.

I have booked a hotel, but the hotel has not received a response from the party.
