The hosts were great, helping me arrange activities and my transfer to the next destination, preparing meals and doing my laundry. The accommodation was superb, a real quiet spot. The hammocks were very comfortable and let me rest. There was even a mini fridge in my room, which was a notable bonus. Like everywhere in Java, it gets noisy at night; earplugs are essential for light sleepers. The shower water was cold, either because I didn’t know how to adjust it or it was just that way.

“Good bang for the buck”

Staying with a local family, they were very friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the home‑cooked dinner. Just keep in mind that this place is pretty bare bones. Don’t expect luxury.

The location, the view and the hospitality were great. We missed some practical items, such as a wardrobe for our clothes or an extra chair inside.

“Een geweldige ervaring ! Die we niet snel zullen vergeten. Goede prijs kwaliteit!”

If you want a super authentic experience without luxury, this stay is great. It’s quiet but consists of 3 or 4 small houses. A mosquito net is provided. There’s a plastic water jug in the room for drinking water. A huge fridge and a fan are also there. The view of the rice fields was amazing. We had the largest two‑person house with a small balcony that gave us a wonderful view of the rice fields. The owner and his wife welcomed us warmly. We chatted together and that same evening made a bottle of “soldier” drink. Dinner and breakfast were fine. Good price‑quality ratio. They were very hospitable and helpful. Prepare for a cold shower, no air‑conditioning, basic amenities. In the bathroom you couldn’t see yourself in the mirror. Besides one clean towel and toilet paper, there were no other toilet items. The mattress was thin but the bed was clean and a small blanket was provided. The room was otherwise clean, but the thatch roof didn’t keep salamanders and other insects away. In the mornings, the neighbors’ waste was burned right next to our house early on, adding to the atmosphere. We were woken up by the smoke. The veranda in the middle of the pond that looks nice in the photo had been inaccessible for several years and needed a makeover or replacement. The location was fine, but consider the 3 or 4 mosques in the immediate area that can be loud. Still, I would recommend this hotel to everyone!

We loved the location near the rice fields, the welcome, the owners’ availability, their recommendation for an excursion to Green Valley and Green Canyon, the meals prepared on site and the breakfasts. We’re really in touch with nature, in local tourism. It made us feel good!
