The humidity, which is out of their control.

Very kind hosts with great recommendations, both for excursions (Ijen!) and supplying great guides and drivers. Leyla accompanied us on a daytour of the surroundings and supplied us with great footage! And the food was one of the best we had on Java, especially the omelettes for breakfast. Great atmosphere.

This was our favourite place in Indonesia! Firstly, the staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to help us organise transport and even cooked our breakfast early for our 4am departure. They were the best! The food they cook on site was delicious and better than most restaurants we’ve been to, so we decided to eat most of our meals there and we weren’t disappointed. The treehouse is rustic and lovely, with gorgeous views. You can hear the river running as you sleep. We highly recommend this place!

The property was worth every penny. Amazing staff be cherry on top ! Super comfy with all basic amenities available. We had a cat keeping us company throughout our stay, even at nights. The staff was lovely and also offered free breakfast for 3 on the day of checkout. Im definitely coming back to this property if I visit Java again ! Kudos to the couple hosts <3

The hotel is falling apart and it's sad. The toilet, sink, and shower are all in need of repair. There's a lot of dirt near the hotel, and the roof is covered with plastic because it's leaking. It's a good place, but it needs a lot of repairs.

Good location. A normal breakfast. Nice nature.

This isn’t a downside, but something to keep in mind — it’s not close to Ijen. Don’t make the same mistake I did: if you're planning to hike the volcano, staying here isn’t any more convenient than staying in Banyuwangi.

The place itself is very pleasant — incredibly relaxing and peaceful. There’s hot water (a rare perk in this price range), excellent staff, breakfast included, stable internet, and a very green, lush environment.

The environment, the room in the middle of the nature, the mattress of the bed (very confortable), the kindness of the staff, always here to help! And the breakfast!! Very good time spent there!

It was an unusual experience to sleep in this room. We really enjoyed it. The people in charge were really nice and organised a tour of the Kawah Ijen for us. Thank you very much! 😊

Amazing hotel. I've never stayed anywhere like it before. The owners were friendly and accommodating, and helped us arrange a visit to Ijen at a good price. The cats are also very friendly. We stayed in the separate bungalow, and spent some evenings hanging out on the top floor of the main building. It's all very cool, and I highly recommend it.

We really liked hearing the sounds of the jungle outside the room. While we were there the staff were really friendly and helpful The distance to the volcano wasn't far and there were small shops around to get torches (that we forgot) and a pharmacy was also close by The breakfast was really delicious and large portions.

Our stay at Bamboo & B was truly extraordinary. This hotel makes childhood dreams of staying in a treehouse come true, offering an amazing connection to nature. The rooms don’t have traditional windows—walls are open with curtains instead. At night, you fall asleep to the sounds of nature, and in the morning, you wake up to stunning views of rice fields. The breakfasts are delicious and very filling—we fell in love with the pancakes. The hotel staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. They gave us plenty of tips for planning our trip to Ijen, helped us rent a scooter, and provided gas masks. A charming bonus is the hotel’s fluffy residents—the cats. There are plenty of them, all well-cared for and super friendly. If you’re lucky, one of these adorable felines might even visit you in your room.

The staff were really nice and helpful with everything. Such a nice place to come and relax and do Ijen from. The breakfast was nice and so was the dinner there.

The access to our room is not for everyone, we had to climb a ladder to reach our bedroom. Some parts of the building would need a bit of maintenance.

The originality of the construction in bamboo. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious and good value.

One of the best place where we have been in Java. The host is really friendly and helpful.

The receptionist was really friendly and planned our tour to the Ijen. Location is also good, about 30mins from the start of the Ijen. Breakfast (after tour to the Ijen) was also very good. Nice view from our room.

Could use some mantainence.

Location, friendly and knowledgeable staff, rustic feel, comfortabke private accommodation opening onto a calming river, excellent communal area, close to Mt Ijen, Erek Erek Jungle Park, and the scenic Licin rice paddies

We would have appreciated better organization in terms of touring the area. We know that the main thing is hiking Ijen but it would be nice to be able to see the area (rubber filed, coffee farm, waterfalls) accompanied by someone local.

There’s no other place quite like this: sleeping in a bamboo-house of that size is like getting back to being a kid in a treehouse. It also doesn’t hurt that the food is deliciously cooked and the people running the place are very kind. If you are like me and have a bit on insectophobia do not worry: there’s nothing to be scared of ;)

The bamboo doors of the bathroom can do with a replacement

A beautiful bamboe structure makes that you feel like you sleep outside. Extremely friendly staff made our dinner on request and it was excellent (try the chicken teriyaki 😀) It has a shared bath room and it is not the most luxerious but it is a great experience

Mosque a bit noisy at 2:00am, but its part of travel

Lovely people doing all the best to feel you at home, they cooked amazing meals, nice big breakfast before Ijen hike. In middle of nature, with rice field all around, sleeping in open area on the nature. Good place to relax and disconnect a bit

The bathroom was pretty basic, and involved going outside on a rather rickety staircase and uneven trail. (Bring flip flops.)

The location had good proximity to Ijen Volcano (which is why we picked it). We arrived very late due to traffic problems, and the owner was very kind in waking up and giving us access to our room. The room was clean and somewhat charming (in its own way). The (private) bathroom, despite being rather rustic and outdoors, surprisingly had hot water. The grounds were green and full of flowers.

The tree house is amazing! And it has hot shower, electricity, everything we need!
