We stayed at Garden for 5 days. First we got a small bungalow for 150,000 Rp.with a fan and cold water (you dont need hot water, it was 37C outside). It was so hot inside as in sauna, a fan was old and didnt cool the room. Only by nights we could cool down a bit. Matrasses were old and... More

There are downsides to this property, but the location is unbeatable and most visitors are with out car or wheels. So, being a foot, this location is wonderful, at least for the first night of a first time visitor. The location puts in the center of the action and walking distance to most of the things you would want to... More

Stayed here for 4 nights, trying out 2 of their standard rooms. Western toilets with ceramic tile flooring, with a great sunset view. Mosquito nets provided. Non air con but the fan was adequate for me. Loved the fact that it was a short walk from here to the harbor - convenient for dive trips and Komodo dragon tours. More

Arrived hot and tired after 2 days out to sea. It took forever to be checked in & then we had to complete a marathon trek with our bags right to the top of the hill. Went inside the stlflingly hot room and there is only a small fan to cool it. Pretty soon the power went out so the... More

Gardena Bungelows, a ramshackle place badly maintained with damp smelly bedding. The dirty bathrooms consist of non flushing toilets and a cold water mandi, our shower head was not working and the electricity point was hanging off the wall. The hotel also own Suraya island a one hour boat ride away. The accomodation here, bamboo huts, have no windows or... More

Although the Gardena doesn't have a very good reputation, we decided to stay there one night on the way back to Bali. They gave us a family room which appeared new, had two beds in two rooms with a see thru wall. It was about half way up the hill so not such a long hike. Breakfast was practically non-existent...

The rooms are run down and not that clean. If you do stay here, see a bunch of rooms as some are better than others. Check to make sure the shower works. The first room we stayed in only had a trickle of water coming from the shower head. The next room had no toilet seat and the fan didn't... More

This Hotel is recommended in Lonley Planet as well as in the Dumont traveller guide. We arrived in Flores without pre booking like the others but we thought you can trust the traveller guide. Sounds good in the Dumont book so we went there to check out the rooms. We didn't feel very welcomed at the reception and the rooms... More

We arrived in Labuanbajo in the evening with no reservation and we found a bungalow/room in this hotel. We stayed here for two nights, before and after our trip to Komodo NP. The first night we had a family room, it was composed of two small rooms, each with a queen bed with mosquito nets. There was an electric fan... More
