Well, the experience of having stayed here (5 nights) certainly was ‘excellent’. True, it’s not next to the beach, but there are bicycles for hire, and if they have driver... read more available, there’s a lift to a lovely sandy beach in less than 10 minutes and either of the two nearby hotels, where you’re welcome to use their facilities, and be collected afterwards. It’s about double the time to get into town and the hotel will ably assist with anything else a concierge reasonably might be asked to provide.
The offering is high quality: lovely well-appointed bamboo pavilions (modelled in the traditional style) each with an open-air bathroom, a comfortable large double bed, mosquito netting (unexpectedly needed during our stay towards the end of the dry season), air con and an outside seating area facing the hotel. The food is very good albeit from a limited menu and (with reference to some earlier reviews), the bar serves cocktails in addition to beer and non-alcoholic drinks. The spa is outstanding - my treatment, provided entirely by one of the students, was the equal of one I had seven days later at a very highly-regarded spa on Bali for a fraction of the price.
But the main reasons for staying are the sustainability credentials of the hotel, it’s wonderfully happy students, amazing staff and what it so successfully sets out to achieve by tacking disadvantage head-on. Against a background of student demonstrations (and deaths) in Jakarta (seemingly so far, far away in distance and time) and the uncontrolled fires and smog elsewhere across Indonesia, this project provided an incredibly more positive reality and the basis for a more hopeful future and as such commanded our deepest respect and an admiration for everyone involved.
Win, win; it’s rare to have had such an excellent stay and know that you’re also supporting something so outstandingly worthwhile.

Six of us stayed at the bamboo pavilions and it was amazing stay! During the check-in, we were explained by the trainee about Sumba Hospitality Foundation! I was amazed how... read more they have brought positive impacts for local Sumbanese community and changed their future! For those who are involved and in-charge, thank you for your investment on Sumba .. I can tell all the students are happy and blessed to join the program!
My pavillion was super clean and comfy. They provided mosquito repeller so we feel safe when going to outdoor bathroom at night. The location is in the middle of nowhere, so we chose to have on-site dinner. They provided option if we want to go 3-course menu or ala carte and they were good and beautifully presented. I would prefer Indonesian menu, but they had fusion entrees on that day. My favorite meal was breakfast (the rate is breakfast inclusive btw). They provided either Indonesian or Western Breakfast.. Either choice was excellent!
Unfortunately we had to leave early in the morning .. I wished our stay is longer so we can look around the facility but it was overall great stay and highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit West Sumba!

Simply a must-visit if you come to Western Sumba. A truly inspirational project with truly inspirational people. And of course, an excellent place to stay. Food is out of this... read more world. How they are able to conjure up such delicious and sophisticated cuisine in such a location - it borders on a miracle!

I had the opportunity to stay at the Maringi Eco Resort when the hotel had just opened its doors and was the beginning of Sumba Hospitality Foundation.
My previous... read more experience was amazing and I couldn't wait to go back.
I just spent six days in the new area of the hotel and came back home with my heart filled with joy and pride.
The rooms are beautiful and super confortable, the new pool is fantastic, the SPA service is high class, the food exquisite, the whole place has turned into a green paradise and the best part was witnessing the third generation of student's graduation and confirming how this project is changing the life of the people of the Island.
If you are planning on going to Indonesia and can make a detour to Sumba, don't hesitate and visit the Maringi Eco Resort, you will be pleased with the wonderful accommodations and service and definitely inspired by the fantastic project of Sumba Hospitality Foundation.
