Balibo Fort Hotel

Incrivel Hotel situado nas montanhas de Timor, estilo colonial, muito bonito e confortável! Um serviço muito cuidadoso e amável. Fomos muito bem recebidos. O Hotel tem uma localização incrivel com uma vista sobre as montanhas até ao mar. As zonas de estar e a piscina são muito agradáveis. Jantámos muito bem, tudo cozinhado no local. Serviram um pequeno almoço maravilhoso no dia seguinte. Gostava de realçar a simpatia e gentileza com que nos receberam, uma amostra da simpatia de todo o Povo Timorense. Nunca imaginamos que depois de um caminho dificil para aqui chegar iriamos ter toda esta experiência, perdido no meio das montanhas está este Oásis, muito bonito confortável e ao mesmo tempo simples e verdadeiro. A quem visita Timor diria que vir a ao Forte de Balibó é necessario para compreender a realidade deste povo., que se vai entendendo melhor à medida que nos afastamos de Dili e vamos passando pelas diferentes aldeias e lugares até aqui chegar. Nao sei se alguma vez mais voltarei ao Forte Balibó, mas nunca esquecerei estes dias! Até sempre

Don't miss this hotel. Contemporary style with quality furnishings (the pillows and doona were so comfortable). The food is delicious and there are plenty of options from the bar. Family friendly ( we took a 13 year old) and the staff were super accommodating. The location is incredible and so peaceful. Even in the wet season, watching the thunderstorms from the porch with a glass of wine is surreal. Recommend highly the local walks to the grottos or the waterfall - just follow google maps, and the both the fort museum (inside the hotel) and the Balibo five hotel are worth the trip. This is a top quality hotel in a great location. Well worth the detour from Dili and the stay.

Amazing views and insightful museum, I deployed to Timor 24 years ago as a young soldier and feel a connection with its people. Was not happy with the bar tab, I don’t think they know how to use a calculator, beware of running a tab, cost us $540 USD for 1 night, you have been warned!

I visited last week and had the best 3 nights in Timor-Leste. The bed was very comfortable, the food and service was excellent. I enjoyed the sunrise in the morning, visiting the museum and walking tour in the afternoon, campfire and movie at night. I would recommend ordering the pizza and local food. Do spend at least 3 days 2 nights to enjoy the outdoor activities too.

The room was beautiful, the service was superb,the food was delicious and the setting just delightful. the sunsets were as magnificent as I have seen anywhere. I was there for two nights as part of a study tour. It could not have been a better experience. I highly recommend as a place to stay.

This is a great spot to stay, cool breezes, great service and lots to see and do. The cabin style rooms are comfortable with a terrace to watch the sun go down (or come up). We ate outdoors- including breakfasts- overlooking the valleys and the market. Most enjoyable. The small museum is very informative and a moving experience.
