I woke up and a bed bug was walking on me! Not nice. Please take care of this problem!

- We had a very bad experience at this hostel. Huge noise in the evening (loud music, shouting) by some guys and the manager, while there are signs with ‘silence hours’. We heard them also say women unfriendly which made me not feel comfortable going to the toilet in the night. When I said something about the noise, I was laughed at by the manager. Furthermore, the wifi was not good, the toilet paper usually ran out and the lockers were too small for backpacks.

Good location and friendly staff, but very dirty all throughout the hostel and the dorm had a very bad smell to it. The location of the toilets is strange as theyre next to the kitchen

Personnel désagréable, si vous ne payez pas ces tours hors de prix il sera fortement ingrat. Il n'a pas voulu gardé nos sacs avec les autres, un peu susceptible n'est ce pas ? (enfin il a finalement accepté en sous entendant qu'on ne retrouvera pas la totalité à la fin). Si vous cherchez un peu d'humanité, fuyez!

While the staff and the common area of this hostel were nice, it wasn’t really a hostel for backpackers. Rather, local students seem to stay there long-term. As a solo-traveller it was not the good place to meet people. Rooms were a bit smelly and not the nicest.

+ Veldig hyggelig mann som jobbet der! Hjalp oss med alt, og var morsom skøyer. Mye gulvplass på delt rom for 8 personer, som er viktig. Booket mt bromo tour gjennom hostellet som var bra.

- Det var ikke oppbevaringsskap inne på rommet, så mange hadde alle tingene sine på gulvet. Kjøkkenet var ikke det mest innbydende.

Really loved staying at his hostel. Beds were comfy and the female dorm was spacious with lockers, chargers, lights, curtains etc. Easy to meet people in the hostel with areas to chill out the front and back. Booked Bromo and the Waterfalls through reception and can’t recommend these tours enough. Had so much fun and they were cheaper than other places and included more stuff than others at the waterfalls.

+ The house is very friendly, the staff is very nice, kind and helpful. Terima kasih. The facilities (showers, toilets, etc.) are basic but comfortable. The location. The possibility of booking tours through the hostel. Recommended. It worths the price.

- It was a bit noisy during the night in the shared room due to people having tours, but some earplugs will help. The mattress could be better.

+ - rooms with A/C - really comfortable and nice bunk beds with curtains - super sweet and helpful staff! - probably the best hostel, we have stayed in - there’s a kitchen and free coffee / tea - nice showers and toilets - really cool social area with so many plants 🌱 - you can rent a locker if you want to go for a day trip or something. We went to Bromo on motorbike and left our big backpacks at the hostel in lockers. Only 50.000 per day. - also there is a garage for your motorbike!

- Nothing - we loved everything <33

Verry nice hostel! Very clean and Eko (or Echo, I don’t know how to spell his name) is a great host! The showers run quite hot, which could be a point of attention, but the hostel is otherwise great!

+ Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding! We verbleven 1 nacht en hadden een hele fijne tijd. Alles is super schoon, de bedden zijn fijn en de gezamenlijke ruimte is erg gezellig en warm aangekleed. Door het laagseizoen was het erg rustig, ondanks het weinige aantal gasten gingen we wel samen de deur uit voor een hapje eten! Ook was de host onzettend vriendelijk, hij heeft ons geholpen met vanalles plannen en regelen.

+ Possibly the most “at home” I have felt in all of Indonesia. Modern and clean facilities with an amazing kitchen and kind host. The beds aren’t anything special however they are soft and get the job done. Highly recommend!
