Auch wenn das Wetter nur mittelmäßig mitgespielt hat, waren die gut 24 Stunden mit den Einwohnern eine wunderschöne und mega interessante Erfahrung. Die Abgeschiedenheit (je nach Fitnesslevel etwa 1-2 Stunden Fußmarsch vom Parkplatz bis zum Dorf hoch, kein Mobilfunknetz und auch nur zeitlich begrenzt Strom vorhanden), die Autarkie und die Offenheit der Menschen hier war schlichtweg beeindruckend.<br><br>Wichtiges Add-On: im Nachgang bei TripAdvisor gesehen, dass man für 450€ eine Tour hierhin buchen kann. Davon kann ich nur abraten!!! Einfach nen Roller mieten, zum Parkplatz fahren und losspazieren. Oben im Dorf werden 50.000 Rupie für die "Empfangszeremonie" erwartet und dann folgen noch 325.000 Rupie für Übernachtung und Verpflegung. Somit kann man das ganze auch für 30€ erleben (bei der Bevölkerung kommt so oder so dieselbe Summe an). |

It was an incridable experience that I could visit Waerebo! We went to waerebo by motorbike, started 05.00am at Labuan Bajo - We passed the Trans Flores road - Nangalili Village - Denge Village, it took 3.5 hours.<br><br>And then, continuing hike around two hours to get to the village. We stayed only 1.5 hours and then we returned to Labuan Bajo, we arrived at hotel around 6pm. |

Mauvaise expérience dans sa globalité. Une visite très moyenne qui nécessite pourtant beaucoup de temps et d’argent.<br><br>Concernant la route pour arriver à la ville de Dintor/Denge : le sentier côtier est difficilement praticable, en scooter cette partie nous a pris 2h sur la partie ouest (direction Labuan Bajo) et 1h sur la partie est (direction Ruteng).<br><br>Concernant les environs du village Wae Rebo :<br>Les logements dans la ville de Dintor/Denge sont chers par rapport à la qualité des installations (400k à 500k pour un couple pour une nuit avec dîner et petit déjeuner).<br>De plus, nous avons eu de nombreuses mauvaises expériences avec les habitants de Dintor/Denge et de la route vers l’ouest jusque Lembor. Des chauffeurs de taxi motos nous demandent 20k de stationnement alors que c’est gratuit, vol d’effets personnels sur le scooter, prix de l’essence augmenté en raison de notre origine, enfants qui ne cessent de demander de l’argent,…<br>Comportements qui tranchent avec le reste du voyage, pendant lequel nous avons expérimenté l’accueil et la bienveillance des indonésiens.<br><br>Concernant la visite du village traditionnel de Wae Rebo : Depuis le point référencé « Wae Rebo Village Trail Head » sur Google Maps et accessible en scooter, la randonnée pour le village a duré 1h40 de montée et 1h30 de descente (saison sèche). La première partie de la randonnée (30 min) est aménagée et très raide, la seconde partie (1h) est un sentier de terre et pierre qui montent beaucoup moins mais est légèrement glissant (attention dans la descente).<br>Une fois le café passé, si vous descendez au centre du village traditionnel, vous devez vous présenter et payer l’entrée.<br>Il y a deux façons de visiter le village :<br>-la « visite » en journée pour laquelle vous payez 200k pour l’entrée et 25k pour la « cérémonie d’accueil » du chef du village (1 courte phrase prononcée assis dans la maison principale). Vous aurez un café d’accueil et un déjeuner basique (œuf, riz, bouillon).<br>-la nuit dans le village pour laquelle vous payez 325k pour l’entree, la cérémonie, le les repas et la nuit.<br>Lors de notre visite en août 2024, 12 personnes ont fait la visite de journée et 48 personnes ont dormi dans le village la veille.<br>Il n’y a pas d’interaction avec les habitants qui voient défiler des touristes en continu et n’ont peut être plus l’envie de partager.<br>Une vieille dame attend qu’on l’a photographie pour ensuite demander d’acheter des bracelets en souvenir.<br>Le tourisme a certainement transformé la vie des habitants du village, il est difficile de savoir ce qu’il reste des traditions, si ce n’est les 7 maisons conservés et entretenus.<br>L’endroit est néanmoins très beau, le cadre montagneux et l’architecture des maisons en font un endroit atypique.<br>Les touristes qui n’ont pas souhaité payer les frais d’entrée, qu’ils considéraient trop élevés pour un passage rapide, ont été repoussés en haut du village traditionnel. |

Beautiful traditional village. It was a nice experience to hike 2hours and see this amazing place! The local people they were friendly and polite. The only thing that I didn’t like it was the place that we sleep. The “bed” was so hard, you sleep basically on the floor. You sleep all together like a big family. Fortunately we sleep there only for one night! You take a shower with cold water using the bucket , like the traditional way. They have only squat toilet ( basically the most places in Flores are like this). The food is traditional local kitchen and you eat sitting on the floor all together. Once in a life time I think you must live this experience! It’s like going back in time! |

This was a very exciting and fun experience in my life when traveling to Wae Rebo village. The traditional village which is located above 1,200 meters above sea level makes Wae Rebo village dubbed as a village above the clouds, and the journey to get here takes 3-5 hours with uphill terrain. In this village it is very calm and soothing, to get here you need to be assisted by an experienced tour guide. This village is very beautiful to visit. Waerebo traditional village is famous for its stunning natural beauty and the existence of the unique and interesting Mbaru Niang traditional house.<br><br>In addition, Waerebo Traditional Village also offers a unique experience for tourists who want to experience the traditional life of the Flores people. Travelers can take part in various activities such as cooking traditional food, learning to weave, and participating in traditional ceremonies. With its natural beauty and cultural diversity, Waerebo Traditional Village is an attractive tourist destination for visitors who want to experience traditional Indonesian life. At least once in a lifetime you can visit this village. I hope to visit again soon!!!🥰🥰 |

At a steady pace, the hike can be done in 1½ hours, but taking a more leisurely stroll and enjoying the scenery, it will be anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.<br><br>The first part of the hike towards Wae Rebo was paved in the beginning of the COVID period, so you’ll have an easy start. After a while (about 30 minutes, depending on your speed) the paved part ends, and the path gets muddy and rocky, but never really difficult. Some sturdy shoes can be recommended, but of course there are always people who can be spotted walking the path in flip-flops. The hike itself is not that hard, but you’ll definitely be sweaty once you’re done because of the humidity.<br><br>In the village there are about 7 huts, of which 1 is specifically built for tourists. All the other huts are for the villagers, often housing 4-6 families in one hut. During the day, most of them work in the neighbouring fields, while some others were selling souvenirs such as local coffee and handmade bracelets. Dogs, cats, and chickens can also be seen roaming around the village.<br><br>Because the village surrounded on all sides by forests and mountains, Wae Rebo can get quite chilly at night. Fog and showers are definitely not uncommon and the weather can change quickly.<br><br>Most travellers to Wae Rebo stay overnight before going back the next day. The tourist hut has place for about 20 people, all provided for with a comfy mattress, a pillow, and bedsheets.<br><br>Most people arrive in the (late) afternoon, and leave again the next morning after breakfast. In the evening, a generator provides some light and gives you an opportunity to charge your phone. Around 10 in the evening it goes off and it's time to sleep.<br><br>Between the sleeping (and eating) area and the kitchen, there are 2 bathrooms with western style toilets and a bucket shower.<br><br>Both dinner and breakfast is included if you stay overnight in Wae Rebo. In the traditional huts meals are cooked inside the hut, but the meals for the tourists were cooked by the villagers in an adjacent kitchen which is large and smokey.<br><br>The meals were basic but tasty with rice, vegetables, egg, and krupuk (also for breakfast). We enjoyed dinner and breakfast sitting on the floor and chatting with the other tourists, which were mainly Indonesian.<br><br>General Tips<br>• Rain gear - When it rains, it can rain really hard. So make sure to bring some rain gear just in case.<br>• Sturdy shoes - Of course there are always people who can be spotted walking the path in flip-flops, but sturdy shoes are recommended.<br>• Comfy clothes - Both short and long trousers are possible for the hike. The path is clear of vegetation, although we did catch some leeches.<br>• Earplugs and a torch - At night earplugs can be recommended because of snoring tourists, and a headlamp or torch to go to the bathroom.<br>• Pyjamas - During the evening we noticed all of the Indonesian tourists taking a shower and changing into pyjamas.<br>• A towel - There are Indonesian bucket showers available and ropes to leave your towel to dry.<br>• Chargers - There is a generator at the village running until 10 PM to charge phones or cameras.<br>Small change - The villagers have plenty of souvenirs for sale such as coffee and bracelets. |

The place is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth seeing. However, I think it has already become very touristy and feels like a kind of “tourist machine.” It has likely lost some of its authenticity. Still, it is definitely worth a visit. |

Amazing! You have to go yourself to understand how amazing this place is! The hard journey (for me since I don’t do sport 😂 : after about 5 hrs drive from Labuan Bajo, followed by riding ojek motor for 20mns (the view is awewome) aanndd 2hrs20mns hiking.. we finally made it. Unfortunately we had hard rain since 3am untul 8am.. so we didn’t see the sunrise view of the village and the milky way at the night before. Meeting many people there is also a precious memory. Everybody had his/her own life’s story I enjoyed hearing. Such an amazing experience I won’t forget.<br>We stayed overnight (we have to pay 325.000) and got 2 meals (dinner and breakfast), tea and coffee. And they sell mie goreng (mi sedap), coffee (they plant the trees and mash it traditionally), hand made kain tenun, and some handicraft. |

I like the hike to go there, and glad that the weather was good when we visited! People are really friendly and the food served is nice too. Only note is obviously you have no privacy since you're sharing the house w other (up to) 25 ppl |

Un village niché dans les montagnes de Florès, accessible seulement à pied après 2-3h de marche. Magnifique et paisible, il est à visiter sans hésiter. Si vous y passez la nuit, vous devrez passer devant le chef du village et vous dormirez dans l'une des maisons traditionnelles avec les autres convives. Un moment inoubliable dont vous ressortirez avec une petite odeur de fumée. |

My honest, no sugar-coating review here.<br><br>You’ve read enough about Wae Rebo in other review. Here’s my review from different perspectives, as a guest/hiker, as a parent, as someone from medical background, to help you set your expectations right.<br><br>Points that made the hike worthwhile:<br>1) the pavement covered about 1/3 of the route. Hats off to the villagers for their efforts on building the pavement in such a challenging, treacherous topography.<br>2) the village people and kids are really friendly.<br>3) view are spectacular - you have seen how instagramable it is in the photos.<br>4) the accommodation provides clean bedding and blanket<br><br>Issues of concern:<br>1) safety<br>- hikers do not complain about the basic facilities — this is what we signed up for. The stairs to the outdoor washroom / bath, was covered in mud, many fell or had a near-fall.<br>- they could have clear up the muddy stairs to prevent falls.<br>- Dinner was in another house, it was raining heavily & pitch dark. The ground was muddy and slippery, no lighting/ torchlight was provided. Handphone light wasn’t sufficient in this pitch dark environment. A few of us slipped.<br>- the person in-charge of tourism could have adopted sustainable energy with solar panel or just a simple gesture of providing a torch light.<br><br>2) guest experience<br>- during the welcome ceremony, we were told by the host this is where we are welcomed like a family member, we will sit and eat together. Fact - you will be eating with groups of hikers, none of the locals will join in. There’s no engagement / conversation with any of the locals. We were rushed through the dinner & breakfast as there was a second batch. If you have been to some nice, small home stay with personalize experience and hospitable hosts, this felt uncomfortable. It felt as if we are being ‘processed’ through instead of hosted as a guest.<br>- we figured there was easily 120-150 tourists / hikers around. Possibly it’s overcapacity for the village/ hosts to cope. Maybe they should allow respective group to dine in their own house instead of making everyone dine in one house and having to rush us off.<br><br>- it was raining heavily at night, We were asked to walk over to the other house for dinner. Our raincoat was broken and our clothes were wet. The host could have offered us umbrella to walk across, instead, they walked off with their umbrella after notifying us of dinner time. Simple gesture as such would have made us feel so much better by not getting wet in the rain again, and slept in cold wet clothes at 12 degree celsius.<br><br>3) bring toddlers / kids<br>- we met some parents with really young toddlers(below 1). I wouldn’t say it’s absolute NO, but this is not the easiest place to hike up and the nearest medical facility / clinic are far out in the village at the base of the mountain. Do weigh in and out the risks.<br><br>4) medical / physical limitations<br>- if you have severe hip , knee arthritis and have trouble with walking longer distance on daily basis/ going up and down the staircase, this place is not for you. The inclination & elevation, are merciless towards your joints. The slippery last 2/3 of the route ( if it rains), is challenging for the balance.<br><br>5) what I read from Google review vs my personal experience<br>- view 5/5<br>- meal: ok<br>- experience in the village 3/5<br><br>Tips:<br>1) if you are not a regular hiker with fairly good fitness level but still determined to take this hike, get a guide to pace you.<br><br>2) raincoat - get a full-length raincoat from the base of the mountain / the sundry shop in the village.<br><br>3) rehydration stick / isotonic drink - you will need this<br><br>4) staying dry & warm at night - night temperature at Wae Rebo can be as low as 12 degrees Celsius. Layer up. Pack your clothes in plastic bag / double ziplock bag in case you need to hike in the rain for 2.5 hours like us.<br><br>5) stay overnight at Wae Rebo Lodge & hike up early morning to avoid the rain that usually starts by mid noon.<br><br>It’s still a beautiful place worth your time as long as expectation is well-managed. Hope this helps. Cheers ~ |

Waerebo Village, the Village above the clouds. Is a great opportunity to see a traditional Village "Lost in time". 2h walking on partially paved path to get there are worthed. 350.000 Rupiah for meals and over night accomodation is a fair price for a UNESCO site.<br><br>Early morning arrival Is suggested because you could enjoy the Village much better (basically everyone's arriving after lunch). |

Une superbe expérience ! Nous avons prit les repas et la nuit ( dîner + petit déjeuner) nous avons été très bien accueillit, on nous a montré la maison des touristes ( nuit + repas) qui était plus confort que ce que je pensais ! Matelas oreiller et couverture ( c’est du luxe par rapport à d’autres expériences) douche froide mais expérience à faire au moins une fois dans sa vie! J’en tire une superbe expérience ! Attention aux nombreuses sangsues sur le chemin ( surtout quand il pleut!) vous pouvez y aller seul en partant de denge et aussi ( pas besoin de guide) vous payerez 325k par personne. |

Hier ein Guide mit allen Infos um im Dorf zu übernachten. Habe mit meiner Freundin hier übernachtet:<br><br>Planung:<br>Keine Reservierung möglich/nötig. Die haben immer genug Betten übrig. Haben, soweit ich weiß, jeden Tag auf.<br><br>Anreise:<br>Mit dem Roller kann man bis zum Google Standort „Wae Rebo Village Trail Head“ fahren. Der letzte Kilometer ist anspruchsvolles Terrain, aber machbar. 1-2 Kilometer vor dem Standort ist ein Haus mit einer offenen Schranke. Die Leute werden versuchen dir einzureden, dass man nicht durchfahren darf. Man darf jedoch durchfahren. Wir sind einfach schnell dran vorbeigefahren ohne anzuhalten. Falls man sich den Weg nicht zutraut kann man sich auch ab dem Haus fahren lassen oder laufen.<br><br>Man sollte ca. 13 Uhr mit der Wanderung starten. Diese dauert 2,5 Stunden bis zum Village.<br><br>Wir haben zuvor bei „Blasius Monta Homestay“ zu Mittag gegessen (50.000 pro Person). Hier kann man auch Übernachten oder Zeug lagern. Wir haben hier unsere Helme gelagert, weil wir diese nicht mitnehmen wollten beim Wandern.<br><br>Am „Warebo Village Trail Head“ sollte man alles ins Helmfach tun und nichts offen liegen lassen.<br><br>Ankunft im Dorf:<br>Wenn man am Ende der Wanderung im Dorf ankommt kann man eigentlich nichts falsch machen.<br>Man wird gleich abgeholt von einem Einwohner.<br>Am Anfang gibt es eine Willkommens-Zeremonie. Hier gibt man eine Spende an das Dorf. Unser Hostel meinte 25.000 pro Person sind angemessen.<br>Die Übernachtung inkl. Abendessen und Frühstück kostet 325.000.<br><br>Weiteres:<br>Im Dorf gibt es keinen Handy Empfang.<br>Keine Kurzen Hosen, besonders bei Frauen. Im Dorf nur lange Hose. Außerdem ist es auch relativ kalt. Lange Hose & Pulli/Jacke sind optimal.<br>Man schläft in einem großen Bettenlager ca. 23 Personen, wenn volles Haus. Alles war sauber und in Ordnung. War nichts eklig. Man darf aber auch keinen Luxus erwarten.<br>Die Einwohner kochen Wasser ab, womit man seine Trinkflasche auffüllen kann.<br><br>Fazit:<br>Wir fanden es ein sehr tolles Erlebnis uns können es weiterempfehlen. |

Amazing little hidden village in a coffee plantation with super friendly inhabitants. Fairly strenuous 2 hour hike to get up to it after a bumpy ride from the nearest "civilization" but worth it. Room for about 30 visitors to sleep in the one big visitors hut. |

The Real Heaven in Nusa Tenggara Timur. You need an effort to reach the location. You have to walk about 3 hours in a mountainous area. Afternoon is the best time to start the journey, and you must pursue the evening moment at Wae Rebo Village. The villagers are so welcome. You'll get food and drink from the residents. Wae Rebo Coffee is the best one. I advice you to bring "Tenun" of the local made as the souvenir. At night, you'll feel the real nature and peace of your soul and mind.. in the morning you'll get fresh air of the forest around village. |

Would highly recommend to go here, it's a ones in a lifetime trip. It took us 5h driving and then 2,5h walking but it was definitely wort it. make sure to bring some water when you start the trip because they don't have a lot in the village also make sure to bring lots of mosquito spray for during the night.<br><br>You don't have to book in advance just hike up and you are welcomed with a ritual (25k pp) |

The village of Wae Rebo in Flores is absolutely stunning 🤗The views are incredible with traditional cone-shaped houses surrounded by green mountains. The locals were very friendly and welcomed us warmly, making our experience even more memorable. The rich culture and well-preserved traditions provided a deep insight into the lives of the local people. Although remote, the accommodations were comfortable and sleeping under the stars was soothing. |

great place to visit! from bajo to wae rebo need 4 hours by car (depend on driver), you can take taxi bike (3km) to the first post and start trekking. it's better to wear sandal (swallow), don't take a rest too long or you will be bitten by leeches. you can use a porter (Rp. 200k) to help carry bags, etc.<br>don't take pictures first when you arrive, however<br>meet the chieftain first. -Get outside at night, there is a milky way if the sky is clear. - The generator will turn off at 10 o'clock - eating together with other tourists - there is a shower for bathing behind the village. |

The Village Wae Rebo Flores, at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, seems a paradise above the clouds. located in the southwest of the city of Ruteng, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara.<br>To get to the location is not easy because it is located on top of a mountain, takes a struggle to get there by trekking to climbs as far as 7 km, and takes 3-4 hours, but what you get is worth the journey. |

Really quiet, relax and calm place! You can stay here for a couple of days. All home facilities - outside =) You will sleep in one room with 3 - 15 peoples. If anyone will be snore in the night, you will hear a symphony, because this sound it will be only one sound in the night =)) Also , no internet , no phone connection. And most important .... ATTENTION - WILD CHILDREN!!!!!!! This is not joke! Do not GIVE to them NOTHING!!! |

Beautiful village, in a nice enviroment.<br><br>I came just for a short visit during the day. I was asked for 50 000 Idr for "welcome ceremony in the main house" and additional 200 000 Idr as entrance to the village.<br><br>250 000 Idr for a short visit feels quite a lot. I tried to negotiate the price, but without success. So I left.<br><br>Probably better to stay overnight - night with dinner and breakfast is 325 000, not cheap too, but can be a unique experience.<br><br>You don't need any guide, path is pretty easy to follow. Around 1,5 hour up from scooter parking. |

I will share my experience from Dintor to Waerebo. Dintor is the nearest village to Waerebo and it's where all visitors start their journey.<br><br>Firstly from Dintor you'll hv to go to the Waerebo trailhead which takes 10-15 mins. A local can send you to this entrance for IDR 50k. You can also ride your own bike there as there's plenty of parking space. The road up there is pretty rough so my advice is just relax and pay someone to send you there. It's not alot of money.<br><br>The hike to Waerebo from the entrance is 4.5-5km according to my smartwatch. Waerebo is 1100m above sea. However, the actual hike is only abt 500m elevation gain. It took me 80mins to get to Waerebo from the entrance. From pos5 onwards it's pretty much flat or downhill trail. If you're a trail runner, you can start running from this point onwards. Completing the hike in less than 1 hour is very doable.<br><br>If you consistently workout and hike twice a week, 2-3km uphill hikes with minimum 500m elevation then this waerebo hike is a piece of cake. I highly recommend you to do some training before coming here. If you have zero running or hiking experience, then expect to take 3-6 hours.<br><br>Waerebo was ok. The fee was IDR 50k for welcome rituals and IDR 200k for food and hangout. Food was so basic I'm tempted to call it lousy. Rice with egg and crackers. I did a day trip because I thought there's probably nothing to do up there aside for taking photos, play with the dogs and daydream. I think they also sell t shirts for IDR 200k - 500k. Can't recall exactly.<br><br>If you don't want to be disappointed, I highly recommend you do lots of hiking training before the trip. I can't imagine myself spending 3-4 hours (6-8 return) on a one way hike up just for the pyramid shaped village. I'm quoting 3-4 hours because that's what everyone writes in their reviews.<br><br>In the end, I only spent a total of 3+ hours at Waerebo, including hiking up and back to the starting point. |

La experiencia de ir a Waerebo, en general, me ha gustado. Son 2 h y 20 minutos de caminata en subida y 1h y 40 minutos de bajada. Les falta aún un poco de atención al turista. Al llegar no nos explicaron nada, solo hicieron una ceremonia de bienvenida que consistió en que el jefe dedica unas palabras en indonesio. No hacen ceremonias ni bailes para los turistas. Sólo las hacen cuando corresponde la celebración del acto por fecha. Una pena. Aún así, muchas noches tocan los tambores y platos para pasarselo bien. Además, también puedes entrar en cada casa y ver como viven: dónde duermen, cocinan, etc. Se dedican mayoritariamente a la producción de café y manualidades varias como sarungs. Por la mañana se ponen temprano a preparar las lonas llenas de café para que seque y para moler los granos en el mortero que tienen delante de las casas.<br>Ver la salida del sol con este paisaje es increíble.<br>La comida muy escaso: arroz, espinacas, patatas de gamba, 1 huevo duro y bananas. El desayuno es arroz y un trozo de tortilla.<br>CONSEJOS:<br>1) llevar snacks por si os quedáis con hambre o incluso para el trekking.<br>2) llevar chanclas para pasear por allí. Se os hará más comodo porque para entrar en las casas te tienes que sacar los zapatos y el baño siempre está mojado.<br>3) repelente de mosquitos.<br>4) es obligatorio llevar al menos una camiseta de manga corta y pantalon largo como símbolo de respeto a la comunidad. |

It is unbelievable that a village can sustain a living far away from the outside world, even without proper connection. You need 7-8 hours from Labuan Bajo or 3-4 hours from Ruteng with poor road infrastructure (tour drivers even hate this route as it breaks their cars), and you need to take ojek for IDR 25K for a 2-km ride to the first checkpoint. The rest of the journey is not paved and you need to hike for 3-4 hours. If it is rainy, be careful as the path is slippery.<br>When you arrive at the second checkpoint, you need to hit the instrument there to tell the villagers that you are coming. Then they will prepare for your arrival and welcome you with a ceremony at the largest house. The ceremony will officially make you a Wae Rebo "citizen". You will be asked to voluntarily donate some money on the ceremony as well for their ancestors, but nobody forces you.<br>The village is magnificent and full of friendly people. I met old grandma, and mothers who were cooking for the visitors, and fathers growing coffee seeds. My friends played with kids there, but you will only find pre-school kids as the older kids leave the village to study (mostly in Ruteng). These little kids are quite naughty and will beg you for money, don't ever give them. If you want to give snacks, give through the guardian.<br>There are 7 houses, the rightmost one are built for visitors. You can stay for IDR 350K per person per night, expensive but it is worth the unique experience. The visitor's house is maintained by friendly volunteers who will tell you many things about Wae Rebo from their perspective. You will get 3 meals per day, although the menu is limited due to logistic problem.<br>I hope that I will be back again! |

Really good village for adventurous people. The track to get to the village is around a 5 km walk. It took my family 1 hour and 30 minutes but for other people it could take up to 3 hours. Over all the village has very nice people and a very interesting culture as well as their history. |

6 hours driving to the nearest post, denge village, the local guide help us during the trekking to the waerebo. He shows us alot of breath taking scenery and give us so many information about the waerebo. I stay one night, once I entered the village, our guide, Mr. Roni lead us to the chief house to get bless from the chief. And the he take us to one of the house to stay. The night is mesmerizing! A clear milky way around the skies and the sunrise is outstanding. This is a place you must out on your bucket list! |

Una experiencia increíble. A pesar de ser un poblado reconstruido, los habitantes siguen con las mismas normas y costumbres ancestrales. Para nosotros ha sido uno de los momentos del viaje. El lugar donde se encuentra aes espectacular. |

hidden village like heaven above the clouds. the warm welcome and hospitality of the guests to the guests greatly made tourists forget for a moment the cold. The beauty and coolness of this village removes other thoughts that are in our head, including a long journey to get here.<br>Travel is taken by land route from Labuan Bajo approximately 5 hours drive to arrive at the last vehicle stop before continuing with trecking accompanied by a local guide. (Don't forget to look for a local guide, in addition to not getting lost we also help the economy in this village and get some important information about this village and its rules).<br>staying at Waerebo becomes a valuable experience to be able to see millions of stars in a village far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Besides that the existence of a unique traditional house greatly adds to the interesting experience here. we can also enjoy authentic waerebo coffee cultivated by the village community. |

Such a wonderful place to go to. It takes 3 hour drive from Ruteng to the nearest village, Denge, to reach this paradise. If you want to visit Wae Rebo, you stop at Denge and find 'ojek' that cost IDR50k to reach to the trekking starting point. The trekking would take around 2 to 3 hours depending on how fast and strong you can walk the track, which I think was not too difficult. |

Lot of challange to reach waerebo village. It took 4 hours motorcycle ride from Labuan Bajo, with the worst road condition i ever seen. After arrived at the post 1, need trekking around 1.5-2 hours to reach. Therefore you can really feel sense of accomplishment after reaching waerebo. The village is really comfy & calm. Can make a lot of friends with new people that also stay for the night |

Go to Waerebo as soon as possible... soon (if they ever rebuild the roads) it will be overrun with tourists. It’s an amazing place, few like this are left on the planet. See “adventureViV” website and YouTube to learn best way to arrive by motorbike from Labuan Bajo. They charge 325K pp to stay overnight in but with dinner, breakfast and lots of great coffee / tea. Contact me for more details if you need! |

One of the best adventures in Indonesia. The unique nature of the island, a different culture, not the same as on the neighboring islands. Very clean and tidy in every house on the way of the 420 kilometer road. + Incredible views. I think this is the most beautiful island I've ever seen. The walking route to the village now consists of two parts. The first kilometer is equipped and looks like a yellow brick path from the fairy tale of Oz. Then there is a natural path, also trained but still uncovered. There are many streams with drinking water along the way. The sounds and views are amazing. Full immersion in the ancient untouched world. A minimum of civilization. About 3 kilometers uphill and 2 kilometers down, and in front of us there is a view of the mouth of a volcano overgrown with wild forests, in the center of which stands the village of Wae Rebo. We were accepted into the family, entered into the residents' book, fed, given hot tea and coffee, and went to sleep in solitude with nature. Feel all the magic of this exciting adventure yourself.<br>The village is open and waiting for new residents ☺️ 325K per night, dinner, breakfast. Dedication ceremony for donation |

Wae Rebo village, eco tourism place located more than 1,200 meter above sea level in Flores Island, Indonesia. World heritage cultural by UNESCO. Better to visit not in the high season during month six to 10 every years. Please become wise traveler, keep clean and preserve the nature. |

Disappointed. The whole “experience” felt like a scam. First you need a local guy (sorry, “guide”) to take you to the village, it’s 300.000, although if you’re Indonesian from another island you can pass freely 😐 then you pay 50.000 for the ceremony where they tell you close to nothing about the village and lecture you not to speak to anyone in the village and not to interact with the animals, not to take pictures and a few more “not to”, after that they shove you into another hut with some food and coffee being served and invite you to join. I thought that was nice and welcoming but after I was done I got a bill for 200.000 🥲 (the most expensive rice, omelette and boiled cucumbers in my life). Again, if you’re Indonesian you don’t have to pay for food either 👍 I brought sweets and origami for the kids in the village hoping to play with them a little and wasn’t even allowed to give it to them directly. Ended up spending 30 min in the village and left. Not recommended. So many similar villages around the island with easier access and more welcoming people, go to Bajawa instead. |

An UNESCO's heritage. They are welcoming people in the village and very challenging access to go there. It has been paid after we pointed tp the village. |

A beautiful traditional village located 5 hours drive + 2 hours hike from Labuan Bajo! Must visit if you’re in Flores! I recommend to sleep the night there to experience a day like a local. The price to sleep is 325k per person. |

Visiting Wae Rebo Village is a journey back in time to a magical location rich in tradition. At the end of a 2 hour hike to the village, the jungle canopy clears and your tired breath stops as you see for the first time the village in the mist. You ask permission from the Chief to stay and you are shown the guest house where you will sleep for the night. Unfortunately, many visitors fail to fully experience the village; choosing rather to shoot selfies dressed in sarongs and group chatting in the guest house while eating junk food until the lights go out. For those that seize the day (and have selected a proper guide) visit with the villagers and ask questions. Get to know them. Let them get to know you. You may just be accepted into their personal home, like I was, and experience the real Wae Rebo Village. It was only then that we had arrived and only then when that we understood the uniqueness of Wae Rebo's culture. If you're going for a photo, it's not worth the hike. If you're going to visit with a one of a kind culture and learn, then Wae Rebo is an experience that will last a lifetime. |

Wonderful and beautiful village also friendly people.. yes it is been touched by tourism.. but I happily give the amount they asked for staying the night at the village.. I think it is still ok since the income will help the village economy in return for the nice experience I had there.. |

Amazing Village and Lovely Culture.<br><br>Night landing at Labuan Bajo. Stay one night at Ciao Hostel (IDR 140k/night). Early morning riding to Waerebo, it took 4 hour. Bike rent price IDR 75k/night and the fuel price IDR 30 - 40k. Tracking 2 hour to the village. Paid IDR 325k for staying at Village. Must try Arabica Wae Rebo, buy their handicraft. Go down to valley for 1 hour. The pictures/videos i posted mostly taken by my friend : Luthfi. Thanks a lot man. |

Wae Rebo egy skanzenfalu a dél-floresi hegyek közt, különleges, magával ragadó hely, amit az oda vezető út, és a helyi élmények miatt is érdemes meglátogatni. A helyiek befogadóak, a vendégek az egyik autentikus "dob-házban" szállhatnak meg, fontos számukra a közösség, és a harmonikus életmód. Jó, hogy ez a hely még nehezen megközelíthető, hogy el van zárva a nagy tömegek elől. |
