The Property — Green Prundi
Green Prundi is a no-frills 3-star right along Labuan Bajo's main strip, a short walk from the harbour. Think simple tiled rooms, a small pool, and a rooftop terrace that gives you a decent view over the bay. It's not luxury – the lobby is more functional than photogenic – but it's clean, reliable, and suits budget-conscious divers or solo travellers who just need a base before hopping islands.
Chronicles of Labuan Bajo
Labuan Bajo was a quiet fishing village until the 1980s, when tourism to Komodo National Park started pulling in liveaboards and budget travellers. The town grew fast after direct flights from Bali began in the 2010s, and the new airport terminal (2019) sealed its role as the gateway to Komodo. Architecturally it's still a low-rise jumble of concrete hotels, warungs and dive shops, climbing the coastal hills. Culturally it's a mix of local Manggarai, Bugis traders, and a transient backpacker crowd, with a laid-back, end-of-the-road feel.
Best Time to Visit
Full Labuan Bajo guide →Best months
April to June – dry season, calm seas, and good visibility for diving, but before the July–August peak crowds hit.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by European summer holidays and school breaks. Hotel prices can double, and boats to Komodo fill up. The Labuan Bajo Festival (usually August) adds extra draw.
Budget shoulder season
September to October – still mostly dry, fewer tourists than July–August, and hotel rates drop by 30–50%. You'll still get clear water and decent diving.
Weather & packing
Labuan Bajo's dry season (April–November) brings intense sun and occasional short tropical downpours. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a rash guard for diving, and a light rain jacket – don't bother with an umbrella, the wind will flip it.
Live City Briefing — Labuan Bajo
- The main road along the waterfront is undergoing a major widening project that may cause traffic delays and dust, especially near the harbour. Check if your hotel's access route is affected.
- Komodo National Park entry fees increased in 2025 to 250,000 IDR for adults (peak season) – budget accordingly and pre-book permits online if possible.
- A new morning ferry from Labuan Bajo to Seraya Island (for snorkelling with manta rays) launched in late 2025, offering a quicker day-trip alternative to the full Komodo circuit.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Green Prundi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For the quietest stay at Green Prundi, request a room on the third or fourth floor facing away from the main road. Since the hotel is a 3-star property on Labuan Bajo's main strip, upper floors reduce street-level noise from scooters and trucks.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or any room facing the street (the front side). The hotel sits on a busy road in Labuan Bajo's centre, so street noise and early morning traffic will be a problem on lower front-facing floors.
Best views
If the hotel has a harbour-facing side, request a room facing that direction — Labuan Bajo's main draw is the waterfront and islands. Otherwise, the rear view may overlook local housing or hills.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are your best bet — further from street-level noise and away from any ground-floor common areas like the breakfast room or reception.
🔊 Noise notes
Labuan Bajo's main road is a thoroughfare for scooters, minibuses, and trucks from early morning. The hotel is in the town centre, so expect general street bustle during the day and occasional late-night vehicle noise. No bar or club noise unless adjacent to a local warung.
Insider tips
1. Check if Green Prundi has a rear entrance or quieter side street access — use that for entering/exiting to avoid lobby foot traffic. 2. If you need a good night's sleep before an early boat trip, ask for a top-floor room and bring earplugs — street noise is the main drawback here.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Indonesian Rupiah, IDR
Change money at authorised money changers in town (e.g. around the main market or near the harbour) – rates are fair; avoid airport exchange counters and any tourist bureau offering poor rates.
Cards are accepted in many hotels, dive shops and higher-end restaurants, but cash is king in local warungs, markets and for drivers. Contactless is rare outside big hotels.
Tipping not expected but appreciated. Round up taxi fares, leave 5-10% at restaurants if service charge not included, and tip dive guides/drivers 50,000-100,000 IDR per day for good service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A cup of local robusta coffee at a roadside warung or market stall – about 5,000-10,000 IDR.
Nasi campur (rice with a few sides) at a local warung – around 25,000-35,000 IDR.
Mie goreng or nasi goreng from a basic restaurant – roughly 30,000-50,000 IDR for a main.
The area around Labuan Bajo's main market and the night food stalls along Jalan Soekarno Hatta are the go-to for cheap eats like sate, soto and fried snacks.
Indomaret and Alfamart convenience stores are everywhere – fine for basics, snacks and drinks. No big supermarket in town.
The central market (Pasar Inpres) sells inexpensive T-shirts, sarongs and beachwear. Also try the stalls along Jalan Diponegoro for souvenir textiles.
Cheapest way around is by motorbike taxi (ojek) – short rides about 10,000-15,000 IDR. From the airport, a shared shuttle into town costs around 50,000 IDR per person; a private taxi is 100,000-150,000 IDR.
Eat at warung (local food stalls) rather than tourist cafes – meals cost half the price. Bargain gently at the market but not at food stalls. Book boat trips (e.g. to Komodo) in a group or share with fellow travellers rather than private charters.
