“The owners are very nice and helpful, helped me organize a taxi, massage, and boat rental, and allowed to borrow a canoe and snorkeling equipment for free.
Very close, there are already some coral and fish, enough for enjoyable snorkeling. A but further, but easily reachable with fins or a boat, there is a proper, big reef. Even further (boat rental needed but it is cheap), there is a small island with stunning coral reef.
Restaurant food was mixed, but some things were really good, like fried noodles/rice or chicken in coconut milk sauce. Breakfasts were good, especially pancakes.
They take ecology seriously, not only by name. They implemented a lot of ecological solutions.
Overall, it was a great stay in a nice bungalow and in a lovely surroundings. All the time I've felt taken care of. I recommend it to anyone visiting Karimunjawa.”
“The location was good. Specially for sunset (sunrise is in the other side of the island). You can enjoy it in the pool or on the beach 10 minutes by motorbike.
Food was really tasty. Everithing delicious.
Bed is king size.”
“It was perfect ! The room is really clean and the atmosphere is nice ! The owner was so kind, i couldn't drive so he took me everywhere when I needed. He is really nice and really helpful, he helped me when i wanted to do a snorkelling trip and book my boat ticket.
The breakfast was delicious every morning ! I really recommend this place !”
“Great place and great host. I want to say the best words about the hosts - we almost didn't manage to come at all but they helped us out. The thing is that for a foreigner it's not really possible to buy a ferry ticket to Karimunjawa - the fast boat app accepts only local credit cards and local payment options and by the time we landed in Indonesia to try the only payment option that might work - paying at the Alfamart supermarket, the tickets were sold out. The other option is the slow boat but last year they also launched a web site - also there only local payment options accepted, and you can not count on getting a ticket at the port on the day anymore (I heard that even at the port you can't pay cash and only local cards accepted). The host fixed us tickets a night before once we contacted to explain our mysery with tickets! I always travel on my own but this is the place where their help is needed, so my advice - once you book your place, contact them to help you arrange the ferry tickets, too. You pay a little extra but will avoid troubles and time-wasting on a mission impossible. They also help to rent motorbikes or bikes, also organize snorkeling tour (that is a must-do thing on the island, as well as trying the late eve fish market!). We stayed in a bigger room above the bar (that sells beer and breakfast), but it seemed quiet as there was no activity past 10pm. The bed has mosquito net, makes beautiful bed canopy, like from a film set. Overall, the place is unique and special, highly recommended!”
“This hotel is like a dream. The facilities are excellent, the location is near to the Main Street. The best thing was Marco he went out of his way to make our stay run so well. Such variety of breakfast, help with booking snorkelling, scooters, boat back to mainland. Lending his snorkel life jacket and crash helmets.
Most of all he gave us so much of his time, chatting, helping out. He is such an interesting man where his knowledge of life is vast. Marcus really did make our holiday on this very special island memorable and something we will never forget”
“We loved our stay in this hotel, the host always took care of us and was very helpful ! He planned an incredible snorkeling day for us. The breakfast was excellent and the sea view is just breathtaking. Also our bangalow was very clean and comfortable ! I really recommend it! Thanks again !”
“This place is beautiful, the room and facilities are clean and the bungalow and garden beautiful with a wonderful sea view. The hosts are super friendly and helpful and the breakfast tasty (you can pick one out of four)”
