Mbeliling Mountain Ecolodge

I cannot rate the Ecolodge highly enough. It was outstanding. Fantastic and attentive staff who supported and cared for me during my 4 day stay. My special thanks to Aldi who is an amazing person making my experience truly memorable. When asked to help me Aldi exceeded my expectations by ensuring my visit at the Lodge and my trip to Komodo islands ran as smooth and trouble free as possible. I must also mention Dati and others in the restaurant who served up absolute delights. The Lodge is surrounded by forests, waterfalls and at night the stars are spectacular with the brightness of the milky way mistaken for cloud. The sounds of the birds and the sweeping views across Flores and beyond are incredible. Thank you so much for everyone at Mbeliling Mountain Ecolodge for a wonderful time and hoping to return to the Lodge in the not too distant future.

We stayed at Mbeliling Ecolodge for several nights and absolutely loved every moment. From the second we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome and comfortable. The whole team here is amazing — always smiling, extremely friendly, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel safe and taken care of throughout our stay. The rooms and small bungalows are cozy, beautifully designed, and well thought-out. They have everything you need — including mosquito nets and well-prepared solutions to keep the mosquitoes away, which is essential when staying in the jungle. The bathroom, shower, and toilet were clean and well maintained. From our balcony we had an unbelievable view over the mountain, the jungle, and the island — every sunrise and sunset felt magical. One of the highlights is the garden. A huge thank you to the gardener! They have created an impressive green oasis in the middle of the jungle — filled with countless plant species, flowers, and lush vegetation. It truly feels like a botanical paradise. From our balcony we spotted around 12 different butterfly species and many kinds of birds. If you love nature, bird watching, or butterflies — this is THE place to be. The food also deserves a special mention. Everything is cooked fresh, so it takes a bit of time, but it’s absolutely worth it. We highly recommend the daily dinner menu — usually six or seven different dishes, including soup and dessert. Every evening offers new flavors and a great introduction to local cuisine. Simply delicious. If you’re coming from Labuan Bajo, definitely make the trip into the mountains and stay here for multiple days. Mbeliling Ecolodge is a peaceful and sustainable retreat surrounded by untouched nature. We left deeply impressed and very relaxed. Highly recommended – we would come back anytime! 🌿✨

This is a beautiful place, not far from Labuan Bajo and with a lovely outlook over the wooded hills. The staff are very attentive and pleasant and the rooms are spacious and well-kept - although the bathroom floor of our lodge sloped the wrong way so it flooded. The main issue is that the rooms are a very steep climb up from the parking area and for the restaurant, so not brilliant for people with dodgy knees.

Very nice cottages surrounded by beautiful nature. Very friendly and helpful staff. A night there is highly recommended.

Our 2N stay in cabin 2 was a great experience. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Room with much space, clean and well equipped. Location in higher forest area with excellent view to Komodo Islands for sunset.
