Warm welcome by the staff. Very well located. Cosy common spaces and very clean. Possible to rent scooters and join other activities such as snorkeling. If you want to stay close to the harbour and the center with restaurants, this is your place to be.

We stayed in the dorm room which was basic but comfortable for our few days stay on the island. All of the staff were great and helped with hiring scooters, they taught my friend how to ride one. They also organised the best snorkeling trip we have been on so far which made the trip!

The Place is Great, good vibes, nice people, and Best of all is The Breakfast.

The AC was not the strongest and in a room of 8 it can be really warm. The room felt a little too compact at times when everyone is checking in or out at the same time. The sliding door in the room is stiff and loud which is not ideal to use during the night.

Loved the vibes of this place as it reflects the island life. Cute family owned place with brilliant breakfast every morning. Bed were comfy with private curtain and light and two shower facilities (one inside and one outside the room) lockers are only big enough for personal items and must padlock is needed. Staff very friendly and welcoming and will help you with activities and suggestions to eat.

The staff at this property are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for being able to walk to most of the restaurants in the town and if you hire a scooter you are able to explore the whole island with no troubles. We had an issue with the ferry which the staff kept us updated about throughout the day- which was beyond helpful as we wouldn’t have known what the situation was with it otherwise. The food is also delicious, and worth trying even if you don’t stay.

The women who work on this hostel are super friendly and polite. They prepare a simple but nice breakfast every morning, always with a smile! Apart from that location is absolutely great and perhaps the only downside (at least for me) is the low quality of the bunkbeds Also too many of them concerning the size of the dorm. As a result it's a little bit too crowded. Anyways, taking into account the price I think it's reasonable!

I think the place would benefit from a 'clean up after yourself' policy as there were often no clean mugs or teaspoons in the morning to make coffee and the staff are busy enough as it is. Breakfast was okay but can be a little late if you are an early riser; sometimes I was served at half seven, other times not until half eight (officially breakfast is 8-10). Hot water for drinks is not always readily available early in the morning either. Bit of a niche complaint but the curtains on the dorm beds are so loud—wooden curtain loops would be much quieter on the metal bunk beds.

The staff were very friendly. Scooter rental was quick and easy. I believe you can book a snorkelling tour through them, and I also saw that they helped a couple of guests with their return ferry bookings. Good WiFi, and air conditioning in the dorm. Small lockers available. Free tea, coffee and water bottle refill. A hot enough shower with okay pressure (the en suite is cold but has better pressure). Good location. It is fun to sit on a swing while you eat breakfast!

Bathroom was a bit too simple/non functional. No place to put your stuf, no warm water in the en-suite bathroom. Curtains on the beds barely worked, could use a refresher.

The best personnel ever! Lovely women who were very helpful with everything. Amazing breakfast! Good location.

It was perfect. Well placed, very cozy

My bathroom wasn’t as clean as I would have liked and bed & bedding wasn’t amazing, but for the price it was acceptable. Everything else made up for it and I would still stay here again.

The staff here are amazing, felt like friends. So genuinely friendly & helpful. Location is perfect, can walk everywhere in town including local fish market for dinner. Decor is funky & cool.

The bathroom is outside and cracks in door and walls mean there’s always mosquitos in the room, cleanliness is average and only one small blanket provided

The vibe of the hostel is nice and the staff are really friendly and helpful, good location

A few mosquitoes around the hostel but nothing bug spray won't fix 😉

Absolutely amazing hostel with lovely staff and comfortable beds. The location is also great and within walking distance to the jetty. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Karimunjawa.

The cleanliness can be improved The portion of the falafel I ordered just too little :(

Helpful and friendly staff, yummy breakfast

Stayed in July 2024

The facilities would need to be cleaned more often, with more toilet paper supplies.

Great staff, really helpful and talkative. The decoration is really nice and the spot cosy, not far from the street food square and the harbours.

Nice and friendly personnel. They help you with planning trips and renting a scooter.

The location is in the middle of the town, very easy to find restaurants, coffee shops, also very near to the harbor. The staff wa very helpful, and very good atmosphere. I love the plants 😊

Barely saw the staff there (but they answered on whatsapp). Never saw breakfast whatever the time. Staff not very reliable (they had confirmed twice to pick me up for ferry on my last day and forgot to warn me the person that was supposed to come was not available anymore, fortunately i asked the night before if all was ok, otherwise i would have missed my ferry). Not enough space to hang drying clothes for everybody...

Perfect location (close to fish market, restaurants, port for snorkling, and walking distance to ferry). The decoration and aura of the place is very nice : bottom common room and top terrace. Very good vibe ! Dormitory beds are pretty confy with privacy, and closed lockers. AC in the room (very welcome !). Stylish large bathrooms. Staff very reactive on whatsapp and helpful.

miss: floor squeegee for shower to evacuate water and have floor dry faster. No upper bedsheet. Bathroom would benefit a lot of a vinegar scrub to clean mineral deposits. It would be good to have more documentation on available activities and not just snorkelling day tour. Also, I asked for help to book online ferry (Indonesian bank requirement) and was refused, not sure why.

In the village, near alun alun

Common spaces were pretty dirty, especially the communal kitchen. Could use a weekly deep clean by staff and a list of clear expectations for guests to clean up after themselves in the kitchen. Buggy, though bug spray and nets were provided and helped :)

The hostel is lovely - beautifully designed and comfortable. Our room had a sweet outdoor bathroom which was a nice touch. Staff was excellent: super friendly and very helpful in getting bikes and scooter arranged for exploring the island
