Green ijen homestay and tour

Johan is a very welcoming host! He organised a great private trip for us with Barri to mt Ijen, which was fantastic. When we came back there was a breakfast waiting for us and we could still sleep a bit in the room until checkout! Thank you for the great experience!

Warm welcome from Johan and his nephew, the room was clean and already fresh with the AC. The place felt like home and we could also use the kitchen. The breakfast was very good with plenty of food and fruits. The location is perfect, in a calm neighborhood, close to the city center. We also plan the visit to Ijen with Johan and everything went smoothly ! Thanks for everything, it was a pleasure to meet you :)

From the moment we arrived, we were treated with exceptional hospitality. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. The accommodation was spotless and well-maintained, with great attention to detail. The highlight of our stay was the Ijen volcano tour, which was organized perfectly by our host. Everything was planned down to the smallest detail, and we had the most professional guide who ensured we had an amazing experience. It was clear that our group received the best care and attention, making the adventure even more special. If you're looking for a place where everything is taken care of at the highest level, I can only recommend this accommodation. We will definitely be back! 🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏

The homestay is well located if you want to head to Ijen. The room is simple but clean, with a comfortable bed and good AC. The staff made our stay so enjoyable and so easy. Johan is very friendly and funny, he is very communicative and responsive on messages, and had a wealth of useful tips. His nephew is kind and provides everything you’d need, including good coffee before and after the Ijen hike. I highly recommend organising your Ijen hike through Johan. He will take care of everything and it all runs very smoothly - from driving you to the volcano, getting your health certificate ready, providing you with an excellent guide to go up the volcano, bringing all the equipment you need for the hike, and prepping you breakfast afterwards. He even helped us get our train tickets and get to the station. Everything was so easy and smooth. Thank you so much Johan for your hospitality!

A little bit of a walk to the town centre/restaurants. Room is simple but has everything you need!

Private tour to Ijen was quickly and well organized and reasonably (for Westerners) priced.

The room is very basic: no sheets, no sink, no hot water. The common kitchen is dirty. Breakfast is instant noodles and half of egg plus cutted on quarters dragon fruit and some smal dirty bananas. No illusions: you get what you've paid for. We were 2 but booked room for 4 people, still no extras at breakfast. After the tour just to earn more, the owner scammed and frauded us with the bus to Denpasar. We lost little money, but mostly health, time, and trustworthy to banyuwangi people. When we asked, why did he do this and didn't bring us to the real bus station the answer was, citation: "for sure at bus terminal brawijaya will be many scammed people, they will be charege you with double price"

Very helpful owner providing lots of information about how to visit the Ijen Volcano and other landmarks around like the Lider Waterfall. Nice breakfast with rice/noodles and egg.

There was not hot water and only one bath sink outside the bathroom. Some mosquitoes in the room.

Wonderful host. Accommodation is great value. Property, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were super clean. Bed and AC were comfortable. We booked the Ijen tour with the host Johan and had a great experience. Price seemed fair. We got helpful recommendations from Johan's nephew for local spots. Johan offers other tours we wished we could have taken advantage of (but we had to move on to our next destination). We'd stay here again!

Amazing owner helping with everything! Highly recommend it!
