Truly it was one of the best stay for me in whole Indonesia! All place is beautifully designed with all details! In this small houses you can truly rest and have some tropical vibe. Is very close to city and harbour which make transportation very easy. Host is more than helpful!

That we couldn’t stay longer

Right off the boat, Redy was standing there with his big smile to pick up our bags and a scooter that we could rent troughout our stay. We had the superior room which was large and right next to a chill area where I enjoyed my delicious breakfast every morning. I started my first part of the holiday in Karimunyawa, and couldn’t be happier with Basi Basi being our first stop. Due to the bad weather the ferry didn’t come for 2 days, keep this in mind in case you have a flight booked too tightly! Basi basi gave us the room for 2 extra nights with a discount and even went to the market to have an awesome bbq together, thank you again for that.

Nothing we didn’t like!

The property was like a mini paradise in paradise! Our bungalow was super nice and clean. The staff were amazing and super friendly! Not to forget the amazing breakfast you get served every morning :) The location is also perfect because it’s close to the center and a 10 minute scooter drive to Sunset Beach. You can rent a scooter at Basa-Basi which is definitely recommended when you’re on the island. I didn’t catch the name of the cat but he/she is so cute! Hopefully we’ll return to Karimunjawa and we’ll definitely stay here again :)

Cute lodge with an outdoor bathroom that gives a feel of staying in a nature. Room and the bed is really comfortable, we slept so well every night. Fredi was such a nice host and very helpful with recommendations. We arrange scooter and boat trip at the hotel directly, which was very convenient. Breakfast was superb too.

The staff is amazing, super nice and helpful, and overall the place is really cozy. It is just a 20 minute walk from the port, so it's really easy to get there. We could organise activities like snorkeling and renting scooters directly with the hotel, making the process really easy and convenient, and the host gave us a lot of suggestion on nice beaches around. We even decided to extend our stay!

Everything was great here. The bungalows are very nice and simple. It doesn't get too hot thanks to the AC. All the wonderful people who work there are very nice, helpful and cook you a very tasty breakfast every morning. We would have loved to extend our stay there.

It was great. A perfect backpacker accommodation with modern jungle vibes. And the owner is so kind and sympathetic. I would recommend it to everyone I like 🥰 the breakfast was fresh and great, too. (pancakes, waffles,… )

If we returned to Karimunjawa, we would definitely stay at Basa-basi🌿. The place is beautiful! You are in a very cozy spot, well-decorated, and surrounded by greenery. Also, the breakfast is amazing. We got to try both Indonesian breakfast and toast and waffles. On the other hand, the staff is lovely. They advised us at all times and, on the last day, we got the ferry time wrong. They took us running, and we managed to get there in time to catch it. So, thank you! ❤️

A perfect stay - we could have easily extended our stay if we weren’t on a time crunch. Our hosts were incredible in recommending where to go, eat and see.

Stayed in June 2024

We loved the cute little bungalows with private space with almost felt magical when we made our way there. The breakfast was a breath of fresh air - not typical Indonesian but more individually created every morning. Host was very kind, helpful and supportive. Scooter rent directly at the Homestay possible.

The people who worked at basa basi really made our stay!! We would definitely come back here. Very nice location. And I really liked our lodge :)

Some tips: - choice for breakfast would be nice There is only breakfast! No lunch or dinner. - in 3 days no cleaning.. once would be nice - only 1 towel and have to ask for new one. But there was none - would be nice to have a lounge place. Eating place / Lobby is not super comfortabel to chill - bit far from city and other spots. Really need a scooter!

Anned is awesome! She is the manager and does her job with passion. She helped with everything! - the lodge helps with anything you ask: booking tours, taxi on main land, fast boat ticket. - i have a strict diet and Anned provided - have a look next to this place at The party boat. Really great food and Sunset ! - the lodge is nice and quiet but there is more times a days next to the lodge a mosk with loud prayer sounds..starting in the night.

Stayed in May 2024

Location of the property is perfect. Close to view point / nice bar (Ben‘s bar) and in walking distance to the city. The staff and especially Anned were amazing (super helpful / offering cooking classes / great driver that brought me to sunset beach 😉). Breakfast was very good in quality and quantity 🙏🏻

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!

Staff were super kind and helpful and help us with all pans and activities in the island during our stay

The breakfast staff didn’t speak English, so it was a bit hard to communicate about dietary restrictions

Very clean and well maintained property. The lodge with private bathroom with your own little area in the garden was superb. We really enjoyed staying here. The owners were super helpful with arranging transportation and trips.

An oasis on Karimunjawa! The huts were great and perfect for our 4-day stay. We hired scooters for getting around the island, and they organised an amazing snorkelling trip for us. Very helpful in suggesting places to visit or booking activities. Recommend to anyone looking to stay and explore the island.

Thank you so much for this unforgettable stay. We were feeling so comfy around your family and friends. I highly recommend Basa Basi Lodge! The team will help you with whatever you need and will welcome you like a friend. Thanks for everything!

The only thing that we would’ve preferred was one big blanked instead of two smaller ones, but that was about it!

We loved everything about our stay. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and would help you with whatever you needed. We got picked up from the harbour and we didn’t even ask for it, but we were the only quests arriving and they decided to come pick us up.
