Hotel Pelita

Central budget rooms within walking distance of Waikabubak’s staples — Hotel Pelita keeps things simple. Sunday mornings align with Waikabubak church bells and quieter roads toward the north coast. Text both the Google-listed number and the Kemenpar PIC if reception is vacant mid-day. Rooms are basic but clean, with multi-source phone confirmations recommended before arrival. Best for independent travellers who don’t need on-site dining or pools. Use Pelita as a wallet-friendly anchor while exploring West Sumba’s megalithic villages, rice terraces, and weekly traditional markets.
