+Just an incredible location. A secluded place and a personal home reef with sea turtles, mantas and reef sharks. The reef itself looks good and attracts a huge amount of coral fish. If you wish, you can rent a boat for snorkeling, during one of the trips I was lucky to meet a large flock of dolphins. The owners bring excellent homemade food three times a day, the rest of the time you are left alone with the sea. The bed has a mosquito net, but in five days I did not see a single mosquito. I absolutely recommend it if you are ready to take a break from civilization.

“View is amazing and colorfull coral Reef - perfect spot to snorke.”
+Helpfull & easygoing host. View is amazing, You can snorkeling just in the front of the house. A lot of colourful fish and corals. I’m impressed by the coral reef just under my balcony. You can also rent a boat which can take You to another snorkeling and diving spots. (If You don’t have your own mask & flippers host can help with renting it). Area is quiet and there is no neighbours so You can enjoy the sea and sunsets. Small breakfast is included, You can order lunch & dinner extra. (If You prefer You can cook by yourseld but shop isn’t close. Openair kitchen is fully equipped. In case of heavy rain better eat inside of bungalow). Bungalow with terrace is comfortable and clean. If You need You can rent also a motorbike. if You need a help with Taxi or schedule of the ferry- contact with Edi :)

“Exceptional”
+We loved everything about our stay!.What a beautiful, secluded place. You hear nothing but the sea and the birds singing, as the next town is around 1km away. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Pombero lodge. We originally booked for 6 nights and kept extending our stay for a total of 3 weeks. The food prepared by Unu was so delicious.Different most days, always fantastic and plentiful. The bungalow is very clean and basic, and has everything you need, including a nice terrace with a hammock to enjoy the amazing seaview and simply relax. If you are lucky you might even see some dolphins passing by. A motorbike, to explore beautiful Tomia island with its friendly people, can be easily arranged for a good price. Great sunset view point at cafe K20 near the middle of the island. Snorkeling at the house reef was very enjoyable and at low tide you can walk along the beaches to reach even more reefs and a ww2 Japanese cargo ship (it's not so easy to notice as happily the coral has completely covered it). Edi can also arrange a boat for snorkel trips in the area. These we highly recommend, the captain was brilliant and we saw lots of fish, eagle rays,, massive bump heads and lots of t

“We felt fortunate to be able to experience snorkeling on a reef that still is teeming with life. Fo”
+The location is amazing. The bungalos are perched on giant rocks overlooking the Banda Sea. The coral reef is in good condition and we saw many different species of fish as well as sea turtles. We hired a boat to go further out on the reef as there can be strong currents. Our hosts prepared lovely meals for us which they delivered each day. The dining area is rustic but is also perched atop giant rocks where it is possible to see large fish or rays passing by.
−The only thing lacking was some comfy lawn chairs for hanging out and reading. There is cell service so internet access is available. Bring reading material as one can't snorkel all day.

“Romantic hideaway on a cliff”
+Breathtaking views from this almost new cottage. The only sound you hear comes from the waves. The owners visit 3 times a day to prepare a fresh meal. Nice snorkelling just below the cottage.
−Nothing really - but better don't bring a large suitcase! The descent to the cottage is steep.

“Amazing location”
+The location is extraordinary and truly special I think. Edi and his wife help with everything you need (e.g. scooter rental, pick up and drop off to harbour) but leave you alone for the rest of the time. If needed, they provide lunch and dinner as well which is very good and for a reasonable price. The bungalow itself is small but enough, with a bathroom and terrace. The eating area is very spacious. The location is hidden away on the coast and involves a very bumpy scooter ride and small and steep hike. We enjoyed our stay a lot and even extended another 3 nights.

“Exceptional”
+This place is amazing! It's just one cottage on the cliff with a very nice reef for snorkeling just below. We had the whole place to ourselves and then the hosts came by to make us delicious lunch and dinner. We ended up staying for a week and just loved it.
−We loved it all. It's very remote, but that was just perfect for us.

“Paraíso”
+Las vistas son increibles, la sensación de estar solo, con ese maravilloso arrecife para ti. Solo hay dos casitas, si tienes la suerte de que no haya nadie en la otra, tendrás toda la playa e instalaciones para ti. El snorkel es muy bueno, vimos tortugas, tiburones punta negra, miles de peces y coral en muy buen estado. La habitación es cómoda, la cama es grande con una muy buena mosquitera, aunque la verdad es que no hay prácticamente mosquitos. Se ven maravillosos amaneceres y atardeceres. El dueño nos alquiló una moto. Se puede desayunar, comer y cenar en el Lodge avisando previamente, la comida es abundante y muy buena. El dueño vive en el pueblo y ante cualquier necesidad, puede acudir en 5 minutos. Es Una esperiencia inolvidable. Recomendable para viajeros aventureros.
−La cocina está muy descuidada, sucia, con hormigas en el azúcar... La carretera de acceso al Lodge está en muy mal estado, con cuestas y llena de agujeros. La bajada hasta el Lodge desde la carretera es complicada, empinada y con piedras afiladas. En el baño no hay lavabo.
