Maringi Sumba by the Sumba Hospitality Foundation

L’accoglienza è la gentilezza dello staff

Niente

Peaceful, tranquil, clean, comfortable.

Nothing

Kleinschalige accommodatie met een goed doel. Uitstekende keuken.

Zwembad aan de kleine kant. Afgelegen.

Our stay at Maringi Sumba was a wonderful way to end our time in Sumba. Its convenient location close to the airport made it an ideal choice, but what really made our stay special was being part of the inspiring work of the Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Knowing that the hotel provides hands-on training for young Sumbanese people pursuing careers in hospitality made the experience even more meaningful. Every student we met was genuinely friendly, polite, eager to learn, and took great pride in looking after the guests. A special thank you to Carlitos and Maria, who welcomed us on arrival and made the check-in process smooth and informative. The restaurant offered plenty of delicious choices, and Omi’s attentive and caring service made every meal enjoyable. I treated myself to a hot stone massage at the spa, which was the perfect way to relax before our journey home. Thank you to Youlan and Tesa for such a memorable and rejuvenating experience. Maringi Sumba is much more than a hotel—it’s a place where your stay directly supports the education and future careers of local young people. We left feeling not only well cared for but also grateful to have experienced such a thoughtful and inspiring project.

The only negative was the mosquitoes. A few more mosquito coils would definitely help.
