The hotel is in a secluded location with a view, yet close to the city center🙏

Jecki and his family were amazing hosts. It’s truly a unique experience staying on Komodo island with them and Jecki taking you on his boat around the famous sites instead of paying for a 3 day boat trip, you are contributing to a well deserved family. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included. Jacki’s wife is a great cook!

I couldn't imagine better place in the Komodo village, where the rental business started just 6 month ago! Earlier you would even dream to live here with locals, now it is possible. The Jhuna Komodo Homestay is profesjonally prepared to visit tourists, the owner and also park ranger is a very smart and kind man, his wife cooks delicious meals, the house is perfect clean. Everything deserves the highest rating. Other disadvantages are due to the nature of the island. Highly recomended !

Georgio was great at communication all the way through our stay. He acted as our guide to see Komodo Dragons and the surrounding Islands, which was an amazing experience. Georgio was very knowledgeable on the Dragons and his family was very hospitable. If you want an authentic experience then this is for you.

We are a French couple and tried this genuine experience for 3 nights on beg December 2023. We are very happy and recommend it, but we believe it must be clear what to and not to expect. We hope the details below will help other travelers. First challenge is to contact Jahiding, the lovely host who is also a komodo ranger. You will get his WhatsApp once you book the stay. Once on the Island, Jahiding will take care of you from A to Z, he stayed with us as the guide during the tours we planed with him and the captain. It's a private small boat (meaning not big) and you can choose where to go and how long you stay at each spot. We believe It was a privilege compared to other tours with dozens of people and timed visits. -Transportation The main challenge is to get to komodo Island with the "phantom" public boat that nobody knows about. It does exist and is actually located in a separate Harbour. Here is the GPS location : -8.484518,119.876788 The name is "TPI Kampung Ujung port". There is a smelly fish market to go through, not hard to miss. Price is 100k IDR if captain does not try to charge the tourist fee. You have to ask people around the boat if it is the correct one as there is no ticket to buy in advance nor any special desk. Just hope on the boat once you are sure it is the right one and pay when you arrive. The boat is mid size and around 20-30 people make the trip. It is not a ferry, it is much smaller, around 20 meters long and 4 meters wide and only one deck with shade. Transport takes 4h and is noisy (depends on the boat you have), travelers are komodo residents which are all very kind. Be prepared for basic confort, no seat no bench, just boat wood. No toilet break neither. The boat schedule as Jahiding told us is as such, and you will have to plan your stay based on this. From Labuan to Komodo Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Between 9am and 11am. From Komodo to Labuan Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday between 9am and 10am.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The family who hosted us was very kind and helped arrange a local boat to take us to different beaches and snorkeling spots that were absolutely gorgeous (like manta point and pink beach). The host is a ranger at Komodo National Park and gave us a wonderful tour. It was very special to stay in the Muslim village on the sea and have a glimpse of life there. Everyone was very friendly and warm.

Nice people, good food, interesting place

Fantastic location with a beautiful house reef. Everything is well organised. Although we loved the Indonesian food we also liked the great pizzas from their pizza oven.

meet at the property, shown around and all facilities explained. Was lovely and peaceful. Host was terrific at assisting in arranging transport, recommending restaurants, and things to do. Property was lovely and quiet, in residential area. Really having own transport would be handy but taxis were reliable and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend for family or couples travelling together. Had 2 double bedrooms with ensuites, large kitchen and living area, and the pool was beautiful.
