Maringi Sumba

The accommodation provides exceptional service from motivated students, praised for their care and professionalism. Guests appreciate the spacious, clean rooms and the comprehensive range of high-quality facilities.

We loved every second of our stay at Maringi. The accommodation in the unique bamboo pavilions, the organic and mostly self-grown food, and the services were extraordinary. We were amazed by all the details, from the adorable towel animals to the birthday surprise cake and singing. It was truly marvelous at Maring’s! If you are in Sumba, try to stay a few days at Maringi. It is totally worth it and highly recommended.

Very polite and prompt communication prior to arriving which is greatly appreciated seeing as it is rather remote location to be travelling to. From arrival you are treated with great hospitality and any questions/bookings/requests are handled with efficiency and confirmation prompt. Accomodation is super chic, comfortable and i was not left wanting. Plenty of info on website and in-room folder as well as access to whatsapp thread so u can always be connected if u want to be. 4 x of the best firm pillows at a hotel i have experienced. A lovely turn-down service (neaten up the room and a surprise on the bed!) i had forgotten Was a hotel service - it is a safe and trusting environment. I attended in low season and felt like i was waited on hand and foot which was a new experience but very welcome! Students and staff are genuinely lovely, warm and give you space to relax but also ready to engage with you if u wish. Drivers are amazingly talented should you wish to book a tour of the island, you will be comfortable and feel looked after as they whip u around the island to absorb the culture with your knowlegeable and friendly student tour guide - your friend for the day. I loved my time here and feel hopeful that my tourism dollars may be put towards a better future for one or some.
