There are plenty of things to do around Labuan Bajo, which will give you no shortage of ideas on where to go in Labuan Bajo, including visiting these stunning secret islands.
During my trip to Labuan Bajo in April 2017, I was part of a 3D2N tour on board a Phinisi boat. I thus spent my nights living on board the boat. It was quite an experience, and something you can only get from booking private tours like these!
Having reliable connectivity made the whole trip smoother, and a Indonesia eSIM was perfect for checking routes, coordinating with guides, and keeping in touch while out exploring the islands.
It’s a great option if you don’t want to base yourself in Labuan Bajo and prefer to venture further around the Flores region.
However, if you are looking for recommendations for the best hotels in Labuan Bajo, below you can find some top-rated ones.

For a quiet location, you get direct access to the beach, though the sea water and beach are often littered with debris, making it unable to swim.
Luwansa Beach Resort offers free pickup service to and from the city centre, airport or any other place you request.

Wait a minute. Is this a room? A hut? A treehouse? It is a bed on a beach for sure, covered by straw roofs. You get your own personal sun deck, but little privacy, so you can’t do your hanky panky on your bed.
Still, if you’re looking for accommodation in Labuan Bajo, might as well do it the unique way!

Great, convenient location in town.
Cozy enough beds for a backpacker hostel standard. Curtains provide each guests with privacy. There is also a private locker next to every bed.
There are also sufficient toilets and showers in the backpacker hostel so you never have to queue when you need the bathroom.
Be prepared to sleep with little or no air-con because of the large room and minimal air-con unit.
