"Pros: It is not far from Ijen, ~30 min drive, so we got off from the hotel to the Ijen tour at 1:00am and we arrived early - as Ijen opens at 2am. Room is a bit small but quite comfy, the bath room is quite big though, and there is a nice big hottub. The environment overall in the hotel is very nice and you can get a traditional view; there is well designed garden view and small river. The restaurant is nice too, we got cheap and tasty food there
Cons: Location is in middle of nowhere, there is no ATM, supermarket, restaurants (except the hotel restaurant) etc.
You'd better book a driver to your next destination after your Ijen tour, as there is no taxi or Grab or Gojek you can get.
You can certainly book driver via the hotel but that is quite pricy, don't forget to bargain!" ~Siqi
"Pros: I loved this place! It's in a beautiful location, right in the jungle. It really made me so happy to be there and listen to the rain outside. It's such a vibe. The owners are extremely welcoming, generous and helpful. The woman makes the best nasi goreng I've tasted! They really helped me with finding my way to Bromo.
Cons: The only drawback is that it's hard to leave from there. You will probably reach there easily if you're coming from the port or another town where gojak or grab operates but leaving is hard unless you have your own vehicle. However the owners were extremely helpful and they found a solution for me!" ~Loukia
