Hotels in Wanokaka

Unfortunately Lelewatu did not live up to our expectations, mainly due to communication issues with the staff. While being very kind, despite their best efforts I felt a general lack of hospitality standards that far less pricy hotels manage to deliver. Many reviews here refer to communication issues with the staff, I attributed that to their lack of English but since I speak Indonesian, I can confirm it was not the language but rather just lack of training. Food was fine, not great but it was okay. The rooms and location have a lot of potential. At the current service level, a stay should not be charged more than 3 million per night. For 6 million, there are a lot better options in Sumba and other parts of Indonesia. The owners should ask themselves if they want to invest and make this place live up to its potential, which should start with hiring an experienced manager with a luxury hotel management background to train the staff. Not recommended and would not stay again.
