    One of the few budget options in Dili, this has a nice vibe and a chance to meet other backpackers. It's pretty basic and could do with some TLC, but the owner is friendly and helpful. Location near Timor Plaza and the number 9 microlet route is also pretty good.

    Great location, theirs a shopping centre below with about 20 shops. Four small supermarkets and a dozen food places. The rice and bowl is the perfect place for a morning coffee, maybe the best coffee I have ever had. The rooms are fine and the staff are great, always will to help with anything. Very clean and large rooms.

    Noman is a very accommodating host who live in a separate dwelling on the premises. The duplex itself is a well appointed, spotlessly clean building, with two bedrooms upstairs each with its own ensuite. A well appointed kitchen and sitting room downstairs with gas hob, microwave, large refrigerator complete the picture. Great location within walking distance to most government buildings with several supermarkets nearby

    This is a new budget option in Dili, attached to a restaurant and bar popular with Timorese uni students, and good for people watching from the balcony. Basic but very clean lodgings with fan and cold shower were sufficient. Very accommodating owners. Excellent location downtown. Cheap airport transfers and scooter hire.

    This is the cheapest option in Dili, and by standards of accommodation in the area is good value. The host is friendly and helpful. There is actually some WiFi at reception which is rare here. Location is good. Room is quiet and dark to sleep at night. Despite all the issues we would probably end up staying here again just because everything else is so unaffordable. But we would also probably just not come back to this city until better accomodation was available at our price point.
