Hotel Umaliurai

Hotel Umaliurai (also written Uma-Liurai or Ria Uma-Liurai) is a family-run hotel on the southern side of Same, the mountain town that is the seat of Manufahi municipality. It is one of the best-reviewed stays in the south, and a natural stop on the way from Dili to the south coast at Betano or into the Mount Kablaki range.

The hotel is built around a swimming pool with a rock waterfall, one of very few pools outside Dili, with guest wings and thatched pavilions around it. Rooms are simple and clean; most are air-conditioned and most have their own bathroom. Breakfast is included, and dinner is served in the dining room by the pool: order it when you check in.

Same sits at roughly 400 metres above sea level, with cooler nights than the coast, and gives easy access to Mambai villages, river walks, coffee gardens and the town’s Portuguese-era buildings. The hotel can arrange trekking guides for Mount Kablaki and the surrounding ridgelines.

We were well looked after for our single night stay here. Comfortable beds, friendly staff and great food. We were the only guests. Nice and quiet at night. Would stay again

Very nice guest house. We stayed with a group of 30 and they fed us as well. Meals were lovely. Pool is refreshing. Most rooms have aircon. Some don’t but they were cool enough without aircon. Ensuites are simple and effective with sit down (not squat) toilets. It is not 5 star quality compared, but for where it is and the service you get it is 5 star. Good bar to purchase drinks. Bring a group.

Place is very nice and clean, located in Same, which is about 4 hours from Dili. The rooms are spacious, has a small kitchen with a balcony. There is TV, hot water and AC in the room. Has a swimming pool in the middle. Food is delicious, the vegetables are sourced locally and fish is very fresh. Staff are very friendly, and the owner is very welcoming. A hotel suitable for family, friends, or any group of people.

This is a wonderful oasis of a hotel in SAME. Excellent value for money, I would say the upper rooms are like a first class 5 star hotel. Drinks and meals are reasonably priced, and if you just want to hang around the great pool that's fine, otherwise the best range of TV channels.
