    Loved the atmosphere and the little bit of luxury they have developed there. The museum was interesting as was the town. Would have liked to do a few walks there, but decided to just chill there.

    Balibo Fort Hotel is a truly unique travel experience, the quality of stay was like nothing else we experienced in Timor Leste. The rooms themselves are modern, very clean and wonderfully decorated, whilst being surrounded by elements of the fort....

    Old building that has been well renovated with rooms added in 2 new buildings. Stunning views out to the mountains on either side of the border and to the sea. People gather in front of the main building to watch the sunset. Lovely little infinity...
