Staff was very friendly. Good location. Loved they had some vegan options on the menu. Also I was so tired when I got here, I had left my phone in their restaurant. When I realized I was missing it, I went outside and the lady from restaurant was already bringing it to me. Ac works great and the shower water gets extremely hot.

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.

I was really glad I chose Dive Timor Guest House. The location was perfect, just across from Dili beachfront and a short taxi ride or 30 .minute walk from the city centre. There's a big supermarket for supplies and a couple of restaurants nearby but I spent every evening in Castaways Bar right above the Guest House. It has excellent food and great cocktails and lovely sunset views from the balcony. Maryanne, the British owner, was very welcoming and always ready with helpful advice. The room was clean and comfy and the pool was a bonus. Highly recommended.

This is my third time in Dili and show I should probably leave a review. I come here semi-regularly for work and really love the people, food and culture. The microlet routes are clear and easy to navigate, albeit hot. I'd encourage travellers to leave Dili and head to the mountains and the east coast, with easy bus routes. Managed to see the blue whales and so of course this is a great review. I'd thorough recommend exploring TL

The people of Dili are lovely, very friendly and helpful.

The people of Dili are lovely, very friendly and helpful. A few nice elevated bars with great views like the Esplanada and Castaways provide a fabulous spot to watch the passing parade and enjoy the view. The footpaths require your attention to navigate safely and crossing the road requires a measure of focus and determination but I suppose this adds to the charm. The scuba diving is spectacular with a great variety of easily accessed shore dive locations and a few boat operators. Plenty of transport options ranging from the adventurous Microlets to the standard blue taxis. We will be back to explore a little further afield.

Dili and Timor Leste are yet to be fully understood as a tourist destination in the wider world but I enjoyed my time there and highly recommend people to visit. Dili is like any capital city and can be busy. There's lots of developments happening. There are good restaurants and cafes around and the beach always very close. Microlets make travelling easy and cheap, Only 25 cents per trip regardless of the distance or duration. Although it is not difficult to walk. Fresh fruits, and coconuts available to enjoy in many places. Carry cash especially smaller USD notes. The town is relatively safe and people friendly. Just make sure at evening you organised transport home as most microlets stop once dark and taxis can be hard to get. Rubbish pollution from plastic bottles and cigarette butts is a bit disappointing. Some great museums, good shopping plaza and other places to visit. Many church's and religious sites. Although to experience the Timorese culture properly like anywhere you need to travel outside the capital cities into other regions. Highly recommend a visit.

Hard to be too critical of Dili, it was New Year’s Day and almost everything was closed until Friday 3rd. People are reasonable friendly in the street but beware of unscrupulous bus/taxi drivers who won’t hesitate to overcharge you!

Dili is expensive for an SE Asian city, left over expectations from when UN was in residence on New York wages. No Gojek, Uber etc, so local yellow taxis can try to price gouge if you don’t have tetum skills, blue taxis metered, ok. Get out of Dili to the mountains and coffee growing areas to get a good feel for Timor.

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.
