    Good location - no specific karma but ok for one night

    Water on shower was either cold or boiling. The staff managed to set it to medium hot after a bit of tuning. In the early morning we didn't have anymore water nor electricity. Not great in case you hope your phone is charging overnight or if someone wants to shower before leaving. Not that big of a deal, but we would have appreciated more communication upfront to warn us of all this. For the overall experience, I find it slightly too expensive for what it is.

    As much as humidity is present, indeed everywhere in the village, the bed was ok, and the blanket was warm enough for us to sleep alright. The location is good, not far from Bromo Park. It took us 1h walk to get the bottom of the volcano and find a spot to catch sunrise. Despite the negative points we described, it was ok for one night, and anytime we asked something to the staff they could answer our request.

    they weren’t very clear with the details of the trips that they organised and the staff wasn’t well informed. also the place was dirty and the electricity plug wasn’t working.

    they organised the transportation, accommodation and experiences at mt.Bromo and Ijen for us.

    - from 1:30am loud noice of the cars going to Mount Bromo. We wanted to catch sleep a bit longer, because of that couldn’t. - extremely humid air - no ventilation - made a impression of having everything wet

    For the plus: - very kind, smiling and helpful staff - location for the Mount Bromo hike - towels exchange when asked - warm water in the shower (evenings get chilly here)

    No breakfast option, but this wasn´t a problem.

    Great place from which to go to see the sunrise on Mt. Bromo (you can go walking to most of view points in 1h00-1h30, try to avoid jeeps, they are terrible). Friendly staff.

    Room needs thorough cleaning. Need to have a kettle with hot water to drink at least. We asked the staff and he showed us the kitchen but it's dirty so we don't want to even enter the kitchen. Sometimes there'e no hot water in the bathroom but just inform the staff and they'll help you.

    The location. Passable for short stay.

    It is not so clean, with no option for breakfast or meal.

    It is a very basic, backpacker-standard hostel/hotel. It is very conveniently located, very close to the entrance to Bromo Park and to the exit to the Bromo viewpoint. You can walk by yourself, without any need for an organized tour or a guide.

    Not a huge deal, but no one was really around to help out or answer any questions. Ended up not being a problem, just seemed a little weird.

    Great location. Perfect for a DIY Bromo experience.

    Everything needed a good wipe down, cleanliness was not good. Bedding smelt dirty. Asked for a transfer from the airport and got quoted 950k - a grab is 750k, and you can easily negotiate at the airport with others too, so I didn't trust them to give me sensible prices on any extras because of this. The room had one power socket but it wasn't usable because of how high it was on the wall - make sure you are not relying on a socket if you go.

    Perfect location if you want to hike to the viewpoints and the crater. Hot water in the shower. Blanket was warm enough if you layer up for bed. Staff were friendly. Value for money for this area.

    We were in the studio room which was very noisy because it is next to the road and also could hear a water pump in next room. Some windows were not secure.

    It was close to start of Mt Bromo walk & cafes.

    The is really cold and I didn’t have hot water so it was impossible to take a shower…the walls are very thin, you can hear a parade of cars at night going to Mount Bromo. The guest house is good only for one night.

    Good location, you can go to Bromo by walk. The bed is really comfortable.

    It was not very clean. Their was some mold in the sheets in one of our beds. we changed the sheets our selves by switching with the other beds we did not used for our selves. Also a lot of dust under the bed.

    The location was great and near the Bromo and where you enter the park. We booked a family room and the rooms were really big and we had plenty of space.

    I would recommend bringing slippers as the floors are tiled and it gets cold at night.

    Great location for hiking to Mt Bromo and the sunrise viewpoints. Room was basic but good value for money and bed was comfortable and had a duvet. Wifi was great and we could use the kitchen to boil water. Staff were friendly.
