Iboih Inn Resort & Resto

I just visited Iboih Inn for the third time, so I feel like I earned the right to write a proper review. The fact that I keep coming back probably says enough, but staying at Liza's and Muchtar's Iboih Inn is truly an unforgettable experience. They were born to host and will go out of their way to make you feel at home rightaway. Beside the fact that they are truly wonderful hosts, the location of their accomodation couldn't be better. Snorkeling right from the accomodation's jetty, having dinner overlooking the ocean and watching the boats go by from your balcony; it's truly magical. Muchtar also took us on a snorkeling trip around the island's most beautiful snorkeling spots, which I highly recommend. Overall I'm afraid I have nothing but good things to say about Iboih Inn. Please treat yourself to a trip here (& book a sea front room while you're at it), you won't regret it!

Bungalows clean and comfortable.However over priced. Snorkeling is okay, if you ignore all the plastic debris floating around your body and cigarette butts. The owner Lisa I believe her name is in a word Passive aggressive, we ate once in the restuarant, most times even when I ordered and insisted on simple easy food, she did not want to cook for us, finally she cooked a curry which was mostly water/sauce. Fish was not available, only for her Indonesian guest(therefore I cannot judge her cooking objectively, perhaps)! Her husband is a kind man, she on the other hand is the most passive aggresive person I have met,after 2 months in Indonesia. We left due to this awful experience and we are an extremely well travelled travellers,so we can judge objectively. I shall be writing this on a blog and I will inform Lonely Planets.

Compared to most other properties on iBoih beach Ibioh inn is a bit pricier. But it was an excellent value proposition and I got my moneys worth The owner Siliza not only communicate sin perfect English but she is a wealth of information it es like having a personal concierge included in the room rate!! The rooms are spacious and clean and everything works - lights, water pressure, wifi. Pretty views from the rooms and hammocks on balcony. Fresh water in the room and AC She serves a nice daily breakfast of fruit and drinks and your choice of eggs or pancakes The dining area is perched above the ocean inlet. They have a boat to zip you into the center of town. They accept credit cards which is a huge plus for me and they allowed using credit card to get cash to pay the dive shops. A huge huge convenience Siliza seems to take a very personal interest in her guests and I appreciated her investment of time and effort Pulau Weh is a bit of s challenge to get to but the logistics are worth it once you get there. Nice diving and nice people

This hotel has spectacular views, but absolutely awful service. The woman who runs this was especially rude and disrespectful towards me, I've never been treated that way before. If you can find another place to stay, I'd recommend it.

Comfortable individual bungalows on stilts in a perfect setting. Snorkelling on the 'house reef' off the jetty is very impressive - lots to see. Salisa is a character and Mukhtar is very warm and helpful. We had to order dinner in advance when we visited, because of staffing issues, which wasn't ideal, so we ate most nights in some of the other places nearby (lots of good options). But the place itself is lovely, each bungalow thoughtfully set, with privacy and good views. Not cheap (mid-range) but worth it for a bit of tranquil luxury (and a/c). Great terrace restaurant over the bay and lovely breakfasts. Would definitely visit again (but need to book well in advance in non-covid times).
