Teluk Biru Homestay

Friendly staff, good breakfast

Loud techno music at 6:30 am coming somewhere near the homestay, it stopped after 15 minutes, otherwise no problems

Ali and Amel are wonderful host. Really kind and helpful. We highly recommend it.

We spent 3 beautiful days in Amel & Ali guesthouse. The room is clean, spacious and quite and they are amazing hosts. You will have delicious breakfast and dinner prepared with love by Amel, and Mr Ali will take care of you in planning tours and activities in the area. Absolutely a gem, few km away from Alas Purwo National park.

It had a nice, chill vibe with a cute garden, the rooms are big, tasteful and comfortable. It is also very clean and has a stylish bathroom. Ali, the host and his wife are wonderful people, kind and helpful.

You definitely need your own vehicle to go around and see the main attractions. We would have loved a hot shower… 🥹

Ali and Amel were amazing hosts. They were welcoming and take time to spend time with the guests. We did cook together, visit the around, the fishing port, the mangrove and many other things. They are also so helpful to provide advices for our future trips to Igen. The garden is also very relaxing

Ali took a lot of picture and video of us to post online for professional social media. Be prepared for that :)

Staying with Ali was like a fairy tale! Ali and his wife are immensely helpful, attentive and reliable. They both have huge warm hearts! He himself is a nature guide as well as an English teacher, and has good contacts in the village. On the first day, we were able to take a romantic boat ride on a small boat at sunset. We sailed past mangroves, into the sea, and with a view of the mountains. A unique trip guided by a local resident. Eco-tourism at its best! A second day we discovered the Alas Purwo nature reserve. We were able to visit the turtle rescue centre. As many as hundreds of turtles. We could release some baby turtles into the sea. The jeep then took us to a unique beach where we were lucky and saw some adult turtles swimming in the sea. We further visited the fishing harbour, mangroves, and some local oyster farmers. The homestay is quietly located on the street. A five-minute walk takes you among the fields. On request, his wife makes delicious food in the noon or evening. We can highly recommend the fish! You can also eat well in the neighbourhood. The room was very clean, and spacious! We stayed here for 4 nights. Ideal as a tourist on tour in Java. Ali also helped us with transportation for example from the airport to his place. A wonderful stop on our holiday. We would highly recommend it to anyone. Be sure to visit his instagram page for some images. Hanne & Bart (Belgium)

We stayed here for one night during our world bicycle trip on our way to Banyuwangi. It’s a lovely homestay in a beautiful garden with outdoor kitchen and clean rooms owned by a kind couple. Ali and Amel asked us to join an Indonesian wedding in the village, what was a great and forever memorable experience. Terima kasih banyak! PS: Be prepared for a lot of photos and videos ;-)

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and everything was perfect. Ali the host and his family were very welcoming and helpful. They also made us delicious meals and facilitated a tour of the national park on a traditional fishing boat, which I recommend. The location is also close to G-land so you can get in and out for surfs without the cost of surf camps if you are on a budget.

Excellent place to stay, relax and at the same time explore around the area! The owners are wonderful, make you feel super welcome, very responsive and help with anything you might need. The food was excellent, not just breakfast I had dinner a couple of times and it was really good. Tasty, fresh and not too oily!

Only thing is that the wifi didn't work too well, but then again it's probably a good thing. It was great to switch off, enjoy the garden and everything beautiful this place has to offer.
