    Lots of space, if a little tired on the edge of Dili

    Room was spacious but everything felt a little tired. I’m not sure I would have felt confident using the stove. It was nice to have a view of the water but it was also directly above the main drain and the neighbourhood didn’t feel particularly vibrant or inviting. An ‘internal’ room overlooking the pool might have been more peaceful in terms of road noise.

    Large, self-contained apartment with decent pool on the waterfront. Lovely view of sunrise. Friendly staff. Good breakfast and free airport transfers.

    The staff was very helpful and super friendly. The property is decent. My room vas very big, plus a kitchen and livingroom; fridge had not been defrosted for years, and the sofa had seen better days. Bed was comfortable. The included laundry service excellent. Had to ask for new towels after four days, was given one little tiny soap for a weeks stay. The hotel is quite far from the centre.

    I have nothing to complain because I always as for extra water bottles and towels if any missing items post for cleaning. I asked they bring me immediately.

    I always enjoying staying at Arbiru Beach Hotel. I have been staying at Arbiru Beach many times, the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful as well as professional. The breakfast and meals are delicious and always on time.

    Not really walking distance to anything, but I knew that on booking. Don't rely on breakfast to get you through, it's a very basic selection of bread and cereal.

    Massive apartment and great balcony, good aircon. The free pickup and drop off to the airport just made one less thing to think about. Nice big pool. Just a good spot to unwind and read a book.

    An upgrade to the pool furniture would be nice. The lounges and umbrella have seen better days.

    I love this place. The staff made my stay here most enjoyable. They were friendly, caring, helpful...all the things. When they come to clean your room daily, they do everything, including sweeping and washing the floors...noice! I loved the pool...spent probably way too much time in it! Hot breakfast included in the price...most tasty indeed. Very quiet area of Dili, right on the beach, but close enough to Timor Plaza to get supplies. Not that I did, but it's a full apartment including cooking facilities if you were so inclined.

    The bathroom needs to renew, the shower head didn't work properly.

    It's an apartment, not just a hotel room. Very spacious, and there's a private kitchen in the unit. Agnes was very friendly to show us the unit available.

    WiFi on and off . First day had to change room due to no wifi. Our second day we never had WiFi through out the day. Same day we had power cuts every 5 minutes. Which made us hate our stay and was about to leave. (Cindy jumped in and assisted providing a data sim.) Bathroom is moldy. Cleaning didn't happened on our 3rd day hence we had to ask water from reception. There were no kitchenette (pots pans... ) had to ask for a glass and tea cups from the reception. 2 days had ran out of toilet paper. No toiletries. Breakfast average and almost same.

    Apartment was spacious. Balcony with the view. Swimming pool. Front of the road and sea. Reception manager Cindy was very welcoming and extremely helpful. She Was the one to hold up the place and customers.

    The location was further from town then we were expecting, so not so easy to get around to explore the city as we'd hoped.

    Staff all very friendly, meals were average for breakfast and at the restaurant (noting it is there off season).

    Great friendly staff who helped us with our many questions. I was traveling with a friend and our 3 children and having our own little apartment meant we could all share. The complex is lovely and quiet with a large pool.
