More of your money stays in Timor-Leste
When you book through a global platform, much of what you pay leaves the country. Booking through Rezerva keeps more of it with the Timorese operators who run your trip.
Timor Plaza, Dili
Ground Floor · Daily 10am to 6pm
A smaller cut, and it stays in-country
We are a marketplace and take a commission. It is smaller than what the global platforms charge, and it stays in Timor-Leste.
Every operator checked by our team
We check every operator's identity and contact details before we list them, and our team visits the places marked Rezerva verified. No anonymous listings and no offshore call centre: a real team in Dili stands behind every booking.

Going to Timor-Leste?
Quick answers, before you book
What should I budget?
Stays start from $15 a night, tours from $33 per person, dive trips from $45, car hire from $50 a day and motorbike hire from $15 a day, all in US dollars. Check what each booking includes, especially meals, transfers and equipment.
Compare pricesWhen should I visit?
May to November is the dry season, best for Mt Ramelau, beaches, and dive visibility. Whales pass through October to early December. Avoid January-February rain if you can.
Plan a dry-season tripDo I need a visa?
Australians, like most visitors, get a 30-day visa on arrival at Dili airport for $30, paid in US dollar cash. Complete the online arrival declaration before you fly.
Full visa guideHow do I get there?
Fly to Dili from Darwin or Bali, under 2 hours. There are no direct flights from Sydney or Melbourne, so it is two flights: connect in Darwin or Bali.
Flights & airportsCan I just book on Booking.com?
Yes, if you find a stay that suits you. Rezerva brings local stays, tours, diving and transport together, with a team at Timor Plaza who can help with the rest of your trip.
