Timor Plaza, Dili
Ground Floor · Daily 10am–6pm
Yes, we're a marketplace and take a commission — but a fraction of what the global platforms charge, and it stays in Timor-Leste instead of flowing offshore.
We verify every operator's identity and contact details, and personally visit our core booking partners. No anonymous listings, no offshore call centre — a real team in Dili stands behind every booking.
Walk into our Timor Plaza store any day, 10am–6pm. Questions answered face to face, in your language.
What travelers say
“I booked a couple of tours with Eco Discovery, and they made my experience of Timor Leste even more enjoyable. I was in Timor Leste for work and contacted a few local tour companies to ask for suggestions in my off time. Some didn’t bother to respond whilst others were very late with response. However, Edna from Eco Discovery was one that responded promptly and after some initial emails used Whatsapp for discussions. My schedule had the challenge of being free around work schedules, but I mentioned to Edna some places or things I would like to visit or see and also took upon her suggestions and feedback. I found Edna to be very easy to communicate and plan with in that she was very honest and straightforward with her responses, and when I finally had locked in dates, she was very quick and meticulous to organise everything including guides, accommodation and paperwork for border crossings and much more. Timor Leste is not widely known for tourism worldwide yet but has some hidden gems and I was very happy to get a taste of this in different regions. The country is not the cheapest for travel and tourism as they use USD, and for me it was added costs of solo travel. Fortunately, Eco Discovery could accommodate solo travellers, whereas some other organisations would not. Cost plays a part in decision making, but so too does safety and experiences and I felt I would get a good overall combination of these with Eco Travel and I was not disappointed. I booked a 2-day weekend where I visited Maubisse and climbed Timor Leste’s highest mountain Mt Ramelau. Edna was the guide and Andrew the driver. I then did a 5-day tour, which went from Dili to Jaco Island, Baucau, Balibo, and across the a few borders and then into Oecusse before returning to back to Dili. It was thought such a schedule in the time available was not possible but Edna who organised all as well as came along as guide put it all together. The driver JP was also excellent and had great local knowledge in Oecusse and West Timor regions. Edna was also helpful in answering other queries from SIM cards, to souvenirs, to best places to dine, shop, travel in Dili, and even tourist activities in Dili and Atauro Island which I self-did, but she was happy to answer questions and make suggestions, and I must thank her for this. I have taken away lots of great photos and memories from my time in Timor Leste thanks to Eco Discovery and I highly recommend them for others to have the same.”

“I had an excellent stay at Palm Springs Hotel, Dili, and I highly recommend it for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel provides outstanding service, and all rooms are very clean and well maintained. Guests have access to a gym and swimming pool from 6:00am onwards, which is very convenient for early risers. The food experience was impressive. The hotel serves a good variety of Western and Chinese cuisine, and the meals made me feel comfortable and at home. A special highlight is the rooftop restaurant and bar, Sail, where guests can relax, chill, and enjoy a wide selection of food and beverages in a great atmosphere. It is also worth noting that Thursday is Ladies’ Night, which adds a nice touch to the overall experience. The staff truly made the stay memorable. Ms. Lethcia at the front desk was extremely helpful and attentive, accommodating guest needs efficiently, including laundry arrangements. Duxburry was also very supportive, ensuring all guests were comfortable and well taken care of throughout their stay. The hotel frequently hosts delegates and business representatives, making it a very suitable choice for official visits, meetings, and professional stays. Overall, Palm Springs Hotel offers excellent service, comfort, and facilities, and is highly recommended for all types of visits.”

“There are little fridge, universal sockets in room. No hairdryer, soap and comb. No lift, but the rooms upstairs are bigger. Stayed in 303 for 3 nights. The Wi-Fi router is just outside my door, so the signal and speed are good. Big cockroaches crowding outside in the parking lot at night, but there is neither cockroach and ants in room. The deposit is $10, which is returned upon check-out. However, if you check out too early in the morning, you need to confirm with the front desk in advance. However, even if you confirm in advance, there may not be anyone at the front desk. You can just go to the room inside the front desk and wake up the staff. There is also a person responsible for unlocking the external gate, and he sleeps on a bench outside. By the way, to take the No. 9 and No. 10 microlets to the airport, walk about 100 meters north from the hotel and wait at the southwest corner of the intersection next to Peace Coffee. The No. 10 microlet goes west, and the No. 9 microlet goes south. The first No. 10 microlet starts at 5:00am. It takes about 15 mins to reach the roundabout south of the airport. Check the last pic.”
