Ecobromo

Pros: This accommodation was located in a beautiful place in lush green hills close to Bromo. (That's why I choose it) The bed was comfy and sheets were clean. The owner also owns the cafe upstairs which is convenient for eating and drinking good coffee and fresh fish!

Cons: In this accommodation there were many hidden costs: if you travel like us, this is a little bit of the things that I would recommend to have into consideration. We came by train to the station of Pasuruan (which is the 'closest' to the accommodation) closest meaning: 1 hour by car from train station to accommodation. We took a Grab which it cost around 400 rp because the taxi driver doesn't go uphill for less. Then, the owner doesn't speak any word of English, which made booking the tour to Bromo and other transactions so much harder. Also I am pretty sure, he is not a people person, but whatever that's just my interpretation. The tour to Bromo that they provide, isn't a real tour, it's a transportation to Bromo's viewpoint and Bromo's crater and back to the accommodation. (No tour guide) that was 500 jeep + 220 per person for 'entrance' which is a total rip-off for white tourists, but whatever, we paid it, we wanted to see Bromo. The room wasn't cosy, it might look as such in the pictures but it is SO humid and cold. Also, NO HOT SHOWER (it's mountain temperature, so it's already cold outside), no toilet paper and towels were ridiculously small. The coffee upstairs shares the ground with the rooms celling,with no proper isolation, makes it very noise and unpleasant to have a nap. (Believe me, after waking up at 3am for Bromo, you will want to have a nap) And of course, we are continuing our trip, so we needed a taxi back to the train station which was another 500. A total rip-off experience almost 100€ spent in something so much cheaper. All and all, we wanted to leave as soon as possible, not coming back to this one. Definitely, there are better options for your Bromo adventure, keep looking.

The compound is really beautiful decorated with lots of plants and stylish furnishings. It also overlooks a valley which was quite nice. Food and drinks were amazing at amazing value too. Rooms were quite spacious. Was great value overall! Would definitely recommend. Staff was v helpful and friendly. You can also arrange Jeep tour through the property.

No fans in the property. Although it was chilly at night, the loft on the second level was quite stuffy and hot in the day time. Would be great if there was some ventilation or fan.

Amazing stay! We loved the food and the vibe at the restaurant! The staff is very friendly and nice and arranged for us a great tour. We rented a motorbike to go around the area and it was amazing. Definitely recommended for a relaxing stay.

It was a bit cold at night, but we asked for an extra blanket and we slept well ;)

Owner really helpful in sorting our tours and transfers. Rooms attached to a really nice cafe/restaurant with great view.

Super helpful staff and fantastic location for what we had planned for. Makes a very nice hot chocolate after a long day full of adventures.

Maybe it would be helpful to have some pictures next to food menu to help us understand what we could eat. We struggled a little bit to decide/know what was suitable for each meal time.

I spent one day here just to visit Bromo. I don't think this place is suitable for backpackers or tourists. They arranged my jeep to Bromo but it was overprized, as well as my car back to Surabaya. Also, communication was very hard since the staff don't really speak English. The room is nice and the bed is comfortable but the whole place is very loud. They make parties, so this is not a quiet place. They have a café upstairs and the rooms are right underneath it. Since there is no isolation whatsoever, you hear everybody walking and talking as if they were in your room. It is quite sad that the organization and the atmosphere they create are not good (especially for backpackers or tourists) because the place is actually really beautiful.
