Frequently Asked Questions

How do we best experience Kelimutu National Park when staying at The Roomz?

We highly recommend arranging a pre-dawn departure from The Roomz to reach Kelimutu's summit for sunrise; the changing colours of the crater lakes as the light hits them are truly unforgettable. The guesthouse can help organise a local driver, which is the most convenient way to make the early morning journey up the mountain.

What can we expect from the rooms and amenities at The Roomz?

The Roomz offers simple, clean, and comfortable accommodation, which is exactly what you need after an early start to Kelimutu. While it's a guesthouse, not a luxury lodge, we found the beds comfortable and the staff incredibly welcoming and helpful, making for a pleasant stay.

When is the ideal time to visit The Roomz and Kelimutu National Park?

We find the dry season, typically from May to September, offers the clearest skies for viewing Kelimutu's lakes and more comfortable trekking conditions. Visiting during these months ensures you have the best chance to witness the lakes in their most vibrant hues.

What are the dining options like at The Roomz and in the surrounding area?

The Roomz typically offers basic but satisfying meals, often featuring local Indonesian dishes, which we always appreciate for an authentic taste of the region. For more variety, we recommend exploring the small local warungs in the nearby village for a truly immersive culinary experience.

Is it safe to travel to the Kelimutu area and stay at The Roomz, and what should we pack?

We've always found the Kelimutu region to be very safe and the local communities welcoming; standard travel precautions apply, of course. For packing, we advise layers for the cool mountain mornings at Kelimutu, comfortable walking shoes, and a rain jacket, especially if visiting outside the peak dry season.
