Dragon Dive Komodo Dive Resort

Staff were super friendly, the dive shop as part of the hotel is incredibly well run and we had a great time diving as part of our trip. Location is perfect, really close everything you’ll want to do while staying here.

To start with, 1.after multiple email communication regarding my stay requirement, and flight details, airport pickup with the director of sales William. After landing into Labuan Bajo airport, I came to know that everything was of no use. As after waiting for an hour I had to personally call to request for a pickup. 2. Reaching into the hostel, they couldn't find my booking, and when I asked to speak to William, his first reaction and approach were all very unapproachable. I was told, I am getting a better deal with stay and dives, however, the price difference between what was communicated by him in email and offered on-site was different. 3.during my 6 days stay, not once did I feel welcomed, not a single staff smiled at me, asked about my stay or even tried to make any conversation. 4. Since the entire hostel is run under French management, you will only find french staff (apart from Local Indonesians working under them) and french guest, who will not even initiate or engage in any sort of conversation. 5. When travelling solo, I stay in hostels because I get to socialize and meet other travellers, get recommendations from the hostel . but here it was just zero. 6.Thanks to the excellent dive locations and dive instructors like Rudiy and Francios which made atleast the dive expereince good . Once again, If you don't speak French, I would I highly recommend you to skip this one.

As my first ever Real hostel stay, i stayed at komodo dragon dive for 3 nights. The last Night We were moved to a new room due to mixup with bookings - Kiwi. The next morning i left for 3 days to be on a liveaboard. In the morning before We left, i noticed Big areas of red bite marks, and only more during the Day appeared. For 3 days on the boat, i almost scratced my skin of - allergic reaction to bites and no possibility to get medical Care. It was awfull! We have already booked a Night when We Got back to stay at komodo dragon dive, and at this point i didnt know it was bedbugs for sure, so i asked the staff if They have had previous history of bedbugs in that room - They said only in another building. Later that Night i was told by a friend a woman had moved out of kiwi due to bedbugs. It made me a bit frustrated that i was lied to, and taking into consideration the last 2 nights without sleep, having bites on my face, arms, legs, feet and hands, having to pay for medical care and so, so just to make sure i checked the new private room We booked, and guess what - ALSO bedbugs. For me this was definatly not a good first hostel expirience! I spend more than 1.300.000 IDR just to get everything (bags, clothing, shoes) washed, to get medication, get last things sprayed and had to through items as Well - and Im not even sure that We are secure yet. When that is said, the enviroment at the hostel,the people and location is really Nice. But yes, this stay was expensive in more than one Way....
