How a booking actually works

No instant checkout, and no card details on this site. Five steps, in writing, with nothing taken until the plan is agreed.

Ask the desk

In short

You send dates and a group size, we come back with a written night plan and quote, and only once you accept it does anything get confirmed or paid for.

  • Nothing paid to plan
  • Everything in writing
  • Hotel confirms its own rooms

The process

Five steps, start to confirmed

Nothing here happens by surprise, and nothing is charged before you have seen it written down.

  1. The arrival hotel at Tambolaka, Sumba 01

    1 · You send the basics

    Dates, how many of you, and where you want to sleep if you already know. That is enough to start.

    Tambolaka

  2. The road winding through the Tanarara hills, East Sumba 02

    2 · We build the night plan

    Which nights go where, what each day reaches, and where the drives fall. Sent as a document, not a sales call.

    The route

  3. Lelewatu Resort, West Sumba 03

    3 · The hotel confirms

    Resort rooms are requested from the property. They confirm availability and their own rate; we pass it on unchanged.

    A West Sumba resort

  4. Open savanna on the road through Sumba 04

    4 · You get it in writing

    One document: the nights, the route, what is included, what is not, and the total. Change anything at this stage freely.

    Before you commit

  5. The rock arch at Mbawana beach, Southwest Sumba 05

    5 · Confirm and travel

    Payment terms are on the quote. Once it is confirmed, the same desk stays with you through the trip.

    On the ground

We never ask for card details over chat, and we never take a deposit before you have the written plan.
