Decent place to visit, quite unique. Short hike through the forest and through coffee and cinnamon farms. Hiking up mid afternoon and returning the following morning was enough. Guide is not needed for practical purposes but is mandatory according to local people. Visit Pak Blasius at his information centre and homestay to arrange everything in a transparent way. |

Arrived in Denge, you need to start trekking for about 7km on high trails.<br>Avoid bringing too many things and bring only the necessary stuffs because the lighter your bag, the easier it will be for you to do the trekking.<br>Wear light clothes, long pants and trekking shoes/sandal.<br>You are prohibited to take photos before you meet the tribe's leader at the main house.<br>Stay overnight for better experience and interact with the locals.<br>Remember that there will be no signal at all when you got there, so it's better if you tell all your friends and family beforehand. |

Well maintain traditional village. People actually still live there. Beautiful scenery surrounding the place. 3-4 hours hike to reach the village, and stayed one night to experience the village. I think the price is a bit expensive considering the accommodation and the food they provided. I am sure they earn lots of money considering so many tourists visiting. I suggest not to visit during rainy season, the hike could be tricky and the weather will be gloomy at the village. |

Just magic. I’ve never felt so in awe of life as I did when turning the corner after a long hike and seeing Waerebo Village for the first time. My favorite experience in Flores by far!<br><br>The hike took around 2 hours and was pretty strenuous (steep), but worth every step. 200k IDR entrance fee but that includes coffee and lunch. |

The year 2014 was our first time visiting this heritage. We were on a social teaching program in Manggarai. While on break, I mean weekday, we planned to trip (hike) to Waerebo. I thought that hiking needed 8 hours or more to arrive at Waerebo from Kampung Denge, but we were wrong. We hiked for only 4 hours. We went back and forth on the same day. It was a delightful experience. Honestly, we also donated some books for library in Waerebo. Hopefully, the children there could study and read well. |

Amazing place to hike and enjoy forest covered in fog. Almost no mosquiitos and other bugs. It took max 1.5 hour to hike, first 1 hour with a higher elevation, later - chill walk. In the village we made friends with local guide Amer who was very friendly and spoke good english, had answears to our questions, we felt welcomed.<br><br>When we arrived at parking lot local motorbike drivers took us 5-10 min ride to start the hike. They do not let tourist to drive or hike there by themselves. It is a mandatory trip with a porter to the top of the mountain. They did not let us bargain on the price. As we already took a long trip to arrive to parking lot, locals felt in control of the situation because they knew we will go to the mountain anyway. We were informed to pay next day before leaving. So porter 300k idr, motorbike 100k idr both ways.<br><br>The hike was not that difficult or confusing so we decided to hike down without a porter, with a broken english we agreed on half of the price and payed him before leaving. All the way down he was going with us, 'leading the way' (even there was only road to the parking lot and we asked him not to), waiting for us when we stop. After we reached parking to place where porters left motorbikes yesterday, they were looking at us angry for not going with them.<br><br>After hiking 20 min we reached main parking spot where porter asked us to pay more for leading way down the hill. And we payd because they did not let is go other way.<br><br>All experience in the village was not impressive. After welcoming ceremony with mandatory donation (at least 50k) and ground rules, which took 10 min, only activities were to take pictures, eat dinner and breakfast next morning. The food and drinks were tasty, beds okey, simple toilet and friendly tourist. Locals were not interested about us being in the village.<br><br>In general, the view was beautiful, hike a little challenging but not worth traveling those roads. Everything is based about tourism, not culture. |

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) does not just offered a beauty of its beaches and landscape, which is Labuan Bajo or Ende, but also the beauty of its culture. Wae Rebo is one of the most well-known traditional house of Indonesia that offered a uniqueness of Manggarai society. The trekking route is quite challenging, and I personally recommend to do a little exercise 2 weeks before doing the trekking to Wae Rebo. However, the air is so fresh and mild so the journey will not that hard. It is also recommended by local people to spend a night in Wae Rebo (also please do a nice and friendly conversation with the locals because they will give you lot of stories) because once the sky turns dark, you can see the milky ways and stars shine that brightly just above your head. Please bring your camera, take a good moment, but do not harm the area. Also, please bring back any trashes that you made and do not leave it in the area. Help them to keep the Wae Rebo area clean ! |

Great place, the heart of Manggarai. Everyone should try to get here at least once in a lifetime. Two hours trekking, a splendid night, gorgeous morning, and wonderful people around there. They are produce three kinds of coffee such as Arabica, Robusta, and Kolombia, worth to try. |

Overrated<br>Nice place and nice hike but the village isn't a real one anymore. They dont really live there and it is only a place with full of tourists.<br>You can count around 30 locals for up to 80 tourists. There are no activities planned during the evening except taking pictures.<br>If you can do the round trip during the day, it is more than enough. |

A must go to experience the culture. 325k IDR per person a night. Bring powerbank. No electricity point. No telco signals. Bring snacks for thr village kids and they will appreciate u. Beautiful night filled with millions of stars. Wake up early for sunrise by 6am. Use a guide to walk u up the mountain for 200k to and fro. I suggest u rent a hiking stick for 10k from the old man at base. It's good for maintaining balance and trekking up the rocky and slippery path. U won't regret it. |

It appears there is not much to do here beyond taking photographs and videos. It is suggested that the donation money and fees could be utilized to enhance basic amenities, such as installing a clothes hanger in the restroom. Additionally, the food served here is rather bland. This will likely be my sole visit to this establishment. |

Quelle déception!<br><br>Je ne sais pas par où commencer tellement j’ai été déçu par cet endroit.<br>Le village en lui même est joli mais est devenu une machine à cash, ce qui enlève tout son charme: vous payez 50000 IDR en arrivant pour la cérémonie d’accueil, qui n’est rien d’autres que 2 phrases que le chef du village prononce pour demander votre protection durant votre présence (elle dure entre 5 et 10 secondes). On vous emmène ensuite à la « guesthouse » pour vous faire payer l’entrée au village qui coûte 200000 IDR par personne; ce prix inclut le droit de rester dans le village pour la journée ainsi que le repas de 12h et un café (bon a savoir si vous prévoyez de réaliser l’ascension à l’aube pour redescendre au fin de matinée). Le repas que nous avons eu était compose de riz blanc, d’un bouillon de légumes et d’une omelette, très décevant vis à vis du prix global payé.<br>Il est également possible de passer une nuit à la guesthouse et de repartir le lendemain matin pour 325000 IDR par personne (dîner et petit déjeuner inclus), mais vous dormirez dans une grande pièce avec tous les autres touristes. A titre d’exemple lorsque nous avons visité le village, 48 personnes avaient dormi au village la veille, je vous laisse faire les calculs et vous représenter l’authenticité du lieu.<br><br>La randonnée pour accéder au village est assez dure (1h40 pour monter avec 2 pauses pour des personnes avec une bonne condition physique) mais nous avons eu la chance de croiser des singes à l’aller et au retour, qui n’hésitent pas à s’approcher assez près pour vous observer.<br><br>De plus, la route pour accéder à la ville de denge (au pied de la montagne) est CATASTROPHIQUE que ce soit depuis labuan bajo ou depuis ruteng. La route est principalement constituée de galets (voir photo) et il y a énormément de trous et de gravillons. Comptez au moins 1h de trajet avec ces conditions d’un côté ou de l’autre. Enfin, pas de possibilité de trouver du carburant sur ces routes. Il faudra en prendre avant, ou à denge pour 25000 IDR la bouteille.<br><br>Au niveau du parking à scooter au départ de la randonnée, des locaux malhonnêtes nous ont demandé 20000 IDR de parking au retour (nous avions commencé l’ascension à 7h et personne n’était présent), ne payez pas ce sont juste des conducteurs de taxi moto qui attendent leurs clients.<br><br>Bref, en résumé cela prend beaucoup de temps et d’argent pour quelque chose de décevant, ça devait être sympa au début mais c’est devenu Disneyland. D’autres villages plus accessibles peuvent peut être valoir davantage le coup.<br><br>Ps: Pas besoin de prendre un guide, nous n’en avons pas eu besoin et ceux que nous avons croisé ne donnaient pas vraiment d’informations à leurs clients. |

The village is very beautiful but also very touristic and the locals don’t sleep in the traditional hits anymore.<br><br>Also it is a pity that before starting the trekking there is a public parking but some guys are very aggressive about bringing you there from the bottom with their scooter otherwise they tell you your scooter “is not safe there”. We ended up bribing them with 50k to leave us in peace.. |

For staying one night in Waerebo you have to pay for contribution idr 325k. Waerebo has honoured the UNESCO Asia-Pasific Heritage Award for culture Heritage Conservation.<br>It took around 2-3 hour to reach the village. Worth to stay here, so peaceful. |

Beautiful place to visit and definitely recommend staying the night. Walk in and out is not too bad. We did it in 1.5 hours each way but was slipping after rain. And we used bikes for the first bit. One star off for not enough coffee. Was very nice coffee but would have liked more. But loved the place. |

Posto bellissimo, Ma... Siamo arrivati all'inizio del percorso (completamente abbandonato )dopo una strada con i motorini orribile ci affianca in moto una persona in modo minaccioso dicendoci che avremmo dovuto lasciare lì i motorini o addirittura tornare indietro ( al nostro ritorno i motorini erano stati spostati e mi hanno derubato anche di un oggetto che avevo lasciato nascosto vicino al motorino ) si sale in questo percorso che ti fa sembrare davvero di essere in un posto remoto lontano da tutto e tutti dove vive solo l'armonia con la natura. Arrivi e ti chiedono 50k solo per un rituale di 1 minuto dove nemmeno ti spiegano nulla, è solo un discorso fatto da un anziano con i tuoi 50k teoricamente offerti ai loro spiriti... Ti metti seduto ti offrono tè o caffè e ti portano la ricevuta di 200k a persona.... Nemmeno a dire che mi è sceso tutto. Posto bellissimo ma esperienza tremenda |

For me the best part was the journey to the village. The motorcycle ride wasn't as treacherous as we thought. The hike up was tranquil and rejuvenating. The Wae Rebo people are wonderful :).<br><br>This is a very touristy experience which is great for the community, I suppose. Don't expect to be one of 4 people there. Tourists stream into the village everyday.<br>We were about 40 tourists on the day.<br>On the welcome board it explicitly stated not to give junk food to the kids, but some tourists fed the kids handfuls of sweets which were devoured in seconds!<br><br>The meals are very simple; rice, garlic cassava leaves, egg omelettes. At dinner they replaced the omelettes with tiny chicken pieces which was welcomed by carnivores. The coffee is great, buy some.<br><br>The kitchen is near the tourist hut and makes for a very smoky wake-up call.<br><br>If you don't have your own guide, connect with someone who does, they all share information and translations generously.<br>If you have a Polaroid camera, take it along - the families love receiving a printed photographs of their kids, etc. |

A scenic traditional village view. the struggle to climb the steep mountain for 3 hours for the weak. 350k idr to stay for a night with dinner, and they provide blanket as it is very cold. Bring long pants and long sleeve jacket. Going down the mountain is much more faster. There are bike mafias at Pos1. they provide rides for reasonable 40k. Bring towel in case you need to shower after the sweaty climb up the mountain. bring toilet paper too if you need it. |

No words can describes this an amazingly traditional village!!<br>.<br>EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY WORTH!<br>.<br>Your journey gonna taking a lot of things to reach this hidden heaven on earth!.<br>.<br>From Labuan Bajo we go by a car (*possible also by a motorbike if u quiet ADVENTURER!)- and it will takes about 4-5 hours to arrive at Kampong Denge'.<br>.<br>And from Kampong Denge' we gonna rent OJEG (*motorbike) to reach the 1st post area.<br>.<br>If there is an old man and serve u to rent some stick...just reant one stick. Its about 10k idr. Iam sure those stick is useful !!!<br>.<br>And voila we starting our journey from this line. Normally we gonna do trekking about 2 - 3 hours. Depend with ir ability.<br>.<br>U also possible asking a guy who helps you to carry your belongings and usually we gave them 250k for 2 days .<br>.<br>We called them as a porter. Beside carry your belongings , u also can talk to them and sometimes they got a good story ! |

Absolutely avoid during the rainy season!<br><br>The trek turned into a nightmare as a tropical downpour fell on us during 1 hour of the trek, the path became extremely dangerous and we arrived drenched despite wearing rain gear (our stuff still isn't dry 48h later and our phones and tablets could have died).<br><br>The hike is nice and the village is beautiful, but that's where it ends. Prices are extremely expensive to visit the village or to stay and eat there, and none of the locals interact with the tourists (let's not even mention the "welcome ceremony of the village chief", which is a real joke). They try to extort money from tourists at all costs (example: sarong rental 100.000 !!!).<br><br>Overall, a rather disappointing experience |

Wae Rebo village is a magical village you can found in eastern Indonesia. To get the village you need to hike about 1.5 until 2 hours depends on weather and how your body condition. The villagers was nice and they keen to get a picture with you with a big smile! But don't forget to ask their permission!<br><br>Don't give any candy or snack to the kids directly. You need to pass the candy and snack to Olders or their parents. This action to avoid wae rebo's kids to depends on external people.<br><br>You will slept together with others visitor in one home. Be respectful to others. Don't disturb anyone when they need to take a rest.<br><br>You will see beauty stars in the middle of the night.<br><br>Oh! Don't forget to bringing back your trash |

Tourist trap! Nothing sacred about this place. The first words they told me once i arrived was: " do you have money?"<br>It's a pity they destroyed such an amazing place!<br>They are only hungry for money! I payed for their "ceremony" 50k which took 3 min and they told absolutely nothing about this place only some words in their luggage. Totally bullshit! After that they asked me to pay another 200k when i clearly told them i will not stay only for 20 min.. but they insisted and said they include lunch and a coffee! So, i refused and left! |

We loved out trip to Wae Rebo Village! We booked a 2D1N tour with Green Rinjani Trekking and couldn't be happier with the experience. The walk up is not to hard and the scenery is quite nice, but when you reach the village that is when the view is absolutely breathtaking! When you get there you are not allowed to take any pictures until you got the blessing from the spirits during a short welcome cermony. After that you get to taste some local coffee, take your pictures, interact with the extermly kind locals, learn more abou the village and pet the many very cute dogs. We cam absolutely recommend a trip to the village and staying the night in one of the traditional huts is more then worth it. But please keep in mind that this is a traditional village that you get to experience in an authentic way, so do not expect much luxury and respect their ways! Also we recommend booking a tour with a local guide this way you can learn a lot about the village while supporting their community :) |
