ORA KOMODO HOME STAY

“Conisgliatissimo per un’esperienza autoctona”

The homestay sits on the upper floor of a family house, offering a panoramic view of the Komodo Gulf and direct sea access. The room is small but functional. Breakfast through dinner is prepared by the host’s wife in local style and tastes great. Jeki, the host, is very friendly and helpful; we spoke with him days before arrival to plan our village tours. Unfortunately my boyfriend fell ill the night before we reached Komodo, so we missed the scheduled tours. Jeki and the whole family still helped us by contacting a local doctor and providing all necessary support and care. Thank you! I want to note that this is not a typical hotel like those in Labuan Bajo but a real house, so it suits those who want a closer experience to village customs and local conditions.

“Ora Komodo home stay vuol dire vivere come un vero abitante dell’isola di Komodo: Jeki è molto ospitale e provvede”

The sea view is priceless. No complaints.

The welcome was excellent. Jeki was very helpful in showing us the island and could pick us up from the airport. The meals were tasty and the portions generous. The bed had no frame. The stay was expensive for one person.

“Il posto del cuore ♥️”

We had a great time at Jeki’s house. He met us right after we arrived by public boat and opened the doors to his place, making us feel at home immediately. The room is very cute, though simple. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, and the bathroom has a shower that drains with a bucket. The house faces the sea and offers a spectacular view. Directly opposite is Padar, the island we fell in love with. Jeki took us straight to the Komodo dragons; as a ranger he told us many fascinating stories about them, both during the visit and at dinner, which we really enjoyed. We saw free and un‑drugged specimens, which was essential for us. We also did beautiful trips with Ardi and Picar, who own a lovely boat and are truly wonderful people. We visited all the spots when cruise ships weren’t there, so we were alone in places that usually have insane crowds—this was a unique plus made possible by Jeki’s excellent knowledge of the right times. I assure you the price paid for the excursions is worth it; the scenery and snorkeling are beautiful. We saw mantas (even though it wasn’t season), turtles, dolphins, Nemo fish, colorful fish, and amazing coral. Jeki’s wife prepares delicious and plentiful meals, and in the evenings Jeki dined with us and we chatted about many topics. He also shared his own story, which was truly beautiful and moving. Overall, everyone in the village is welcoming, always kind, and helps with anything you need. This experience was truly immersive; we loved the people and places, and when we left I could’t help but cry. I dream of returning sooner or later. I definitely recommend it!

“A must do for nature lovers and cultural immersion.”

Jeki is an excellent host and a very good guide. His English is great and he really looks after you. As a solo female traveller I felt completely safe and genuinely welcomed into the village. The house overlooks the ocean, has a private bathroom and a fan, and the food is delicious. He shares meals with you each night which makes it feel like a really authentic village experience. Highly recommend if you can organise a tour company to take you there. If you want to fully immerse yourself in the Komodo Islands and love nature and the dragons, this is absolutely the way to do it. Exceptional. Staying in Komodo village was such an awesome thing to do. I took a fast boat out to Komodo Island, stopping at all the usual tourist spots, but arranged for the boat to leave me at the national park. Jeki, my homestay host and ranger, met me there and took me back to Komodo village. The next day I had a private tour of the park and visited the Komodo dragons in the village. The following day I headed back into the park and was picked up by Best Komodo Tours Indonesia to finish a one‑day tour, including swimming with manta rays and snorkelling. It is noisy – but that’s the village culture. Calls to prayer, music, boats, kids playing… take earplugs but enjoy it all.
