We stayed in one of the "deluxe studio apartments". It was spacious, with lots of extras (big fridge, kitchen area), but very hot. There are no opening windows. The glass in the rooftop catches the afternoon sun & the air-con cannot cope. The electric fan didn't work properly. Our room was stifling, unbearably hot from about 2 in the afternoon... More

Stayed here for a night and it was nice. Comfortable rooms, wifi, and good bar upstairs. I would stay here next time in Dili. Ratings are relative for timor, which is expensive for what you get when compared with asia, but in Timor this is good value.

I used Diver Timor as a base in Dili while taking a tour with a local agency as I was meeting my liveaboard company at the restaurant attached to the Dive School. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I found it expensive for an Asian city at $60 a night but this is the norm in Dili thanks to the... More

Definitely one of the best value places to stay in Dili. The Dive Timor guesthouse has clean, neat, quiet rooms (with kitchen access) which are not expensive compared to most accommodation in town. The staff are extremely helpful and the place as a whole has a laid-back, friendly vibe to it. It also has the huge bonus of having a... More

If you are somewhere in Asia, US$40 per night must sound rather expensive for guesthouse. I personally think it is a bit expensive but here in Dili, it might be reasonable when it comes to accommodation. Dive Timor Guest welcomes anyone. I don't dive but I stayed apartment type without extra charge just because I am not a diver. How... More

I stayed here for two weeks, while volunteering for an NGO. The service was brilliant right from the start. All the staff, Timorese and expats, are friendly and helpful. There was never a time when someone said 'that's not my job' - everyone wanted to solve whatever minor issue was at hand, without quibble. There are different styles of accommodation.... More

My tip is that when you get to Dili do 2 things. 1. Stay at the dive timor guest house and 2. go diving with the dive timor crew. While in Dili for work I spent my R&R time diving, eating at the castaway bar and staying in the guest house. The diving was amazing and the team took me... More
