As previously mentioned by others, you get what you pay for.

The owner is super lovely and very helpful when it comes to planning your time in Banyuwangi and the place is in a good location if you wanna visit Ijen. I rented the stuff for Ijen and he hooked me up with the ticket as well and also gave me a ride to the train station (all at additional reasonable charges).

The location was peaceful as the host

The tour organization was good, and Mt Ijen is beautiful, but was overcrowded. I don't know if maybe because we did it on weekend but was completely collapsed of people, the way down to see the blue fire was dangerous because the amount of people going in both ways, probably not worth the risk and waking up at 12am just to see the fire. Maybe other tour alternatives as only sunrise or sunset on the crater viewpoint would be nice to avoid the amount of people.

Budi is a great host, he picked me up at the ferry station and dropped me at the train station too. He was always asking me if everything was ok. He also offer the tour to Mt Ijen wich was a nice experience even when we had an awful weather.

Nothing, it’s perfect for the cost

Budi & his family were extremely kind and helpful. He offered to drive us into the city free of charge, helped us to book the train and also organised our Ijen tour. Highly recommend

Furniture condition, cleanliness, lack of toiletries

Good location, price-value quality, desire to help from the owner

I had a great stay at Javalindra. For this price you cannot expect luxury, but it had all the right facilities for my time there. The host is amazing, he arranged a tour for Ijen, and also drove me to the train station, he is always there to help you. It's located in a small neighbourhood, there is not much to do around but there are some shops and restaurants close, and it's a great location if your focus is on visiting Ijen. So I really recommend if you're looking for a low budget private room!

The owner was super nice and helpuful, the room is ok for the price you pay, in general really happy with it

The lack of air-conditioning got a bit much for the four nights we stayed here. The room was also a bit small for the two of us. Would be fine for one night or one person, though.

We liked our time here. The area on the roof with the pool was a great place to relax. Budi was super friendly and made sure we were comfortable. Booking the Ijen tour through him also turned out great. Excellent value for money.

Stayed in February 2025

Very basic accommodations, which was okay for a short stay though.

We stayed here for 2 nights to do the ijen tour, which we could book through our host easily. The room and facilities are very basic, but we got a free update to a room with a private bathroom, which was nice. The sitting area with a small pool on the roof is a good place to chill and there are affordable restaurants near with good food. The host offered to pick us up and was overall welcoming.

It is little noisy on this neiborghood. But I guess, it's the problem all Indonesia

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a homestay in Banyuwangi, and I can't recommend it enough! The host was incredibly friendly and always wore a warm smile. He went above and beyond to assist us, offering various affordable leisure options and helping us with transportation to and from our destinations. For the price, we received our own private room with all the necessary amenities, which was simply wonderful. The location is also very convenient, with shops and fruit stalls nearby, and easy access to the main road for exploring the area. A huge thank you to our amazing host for making our stay so enjoyable! If you're looking for a welcoming place to stay in Banyuwangi, this is the perfect spot!

The homestay is close to the main attraction:Iljen. Budi, the owner, will help you set up the trip and organise it perfectly. The property is basic which the price reflects (another positive) and the service is absolutely five star. We have not encountered a more friendly, helpful and kind host in our time here. He clearly cares about the rich heritage of his community and is proud to show you all the best sites. Budi showed us some of the most beautiful places in East Java (all reasonably priced) and more. If you are keen to experience the best of East Java, I would recommend staying in this homestay for two or three days whilst enjoying the warmth and hospitality of the homestay owner.

Amazingly kind host at your service. Budi picked me up at the bus terminal for the fair price and offers the tours to Iljen as well. Very low price with cheap but delicious breakfast. You could also use a small pool upstairs. Free drinking water available from.the big bottle.

None

Both the stay and the host himself were exceptional. The host would contact prior to your arrival to see if there is anything you might need such as pick-up or to provide details for the Ijan tour. I recommend booking pick-up with the host since it is cheaper than the Grab. Also if you are coming from Bali, the host offers to help you book ticket for the ferry online, and can pay him in cash later. I did the Ijan tour provided by the homestay and would definitely recommend it. The tour bus would come and pick you up in front of the house and would drop you back there. The tour guides are very friendly and enjoy taking photos for the tourists (which left me with plenty of photos for my Insta haha). Also, they do not rush with hiking, they stop for the breaks multiple times so the tourists don't exhaust themselves, and keep asking if you are okay, or if you need any breaks, so there's no need to worry for those who are not physically fit.

The location The food

Close to 0 water pressure, so taking a full body shower took close to 15-20 mins and it’s a bit hot at night

They offer very decent accommodation for the price, don’t expect any luxury but I’m guessing you don’t! They have a swimming pool on the top floor which is a nice touch. They offer a fairly priced group tour to Ijen, which was my reason for picking this homestay. And the brothers running it are very kind!

Budi and his family do everything to make your stay and trip to Mt Ijen as pleasant as possible. They offer everything needed to visit the volcano from pick ups and drop offs at the train station/Harbor over gas masks and flashlights to all inclusive tours. I decided to organise myself more individually but they always kept being really supportive in a very personal and matey way. Cosy double fan rooms with private bathroom and a roof top terrace with a little pool are unbeatable for that price.

Stayed in September 2024

The room with air condition is better to have a fan... air conditioned was not working very well

Budi is really very nice guy, very helpful. Very nice the little pool at the third floor where you can relax your legs after long walk

Bathroom is a little small and not very well organised, but not a big issue, considering the price. Overall, it's a good value for money.

It's a great stay if you want to go to Ijen. Outside of the busy city, but not too far if you need anything and close to ijen (about 30min drive). You can rent a scooter, mask, flashlight here or book a tour to Ijen for a very good price. Budi, the owner is very helpful, answering all the questions and willing to help with anything you need. I arrived early in the morning and was allowed very early check-in, and again, I was allowed very late checkout as I was waiting for a night bus. I also enjoyed relaxing at the rooftop terrace. Free drinking water is also available.

Well, a chunk of it it’s a construction site. Hopefully they’re going to finish it, I think it’s worth it.

It’s a good place to stay if you want to do the Ijen tour. The host is very nice and helpful. I was travelling by bicycle and had no issues with storing it safely inside the place. They added a nice touch with the swimming pool on the rooftop, all lit up at night. It’s basic but it’s all I needed.

Stayed in September 2024

The only small critique I have, is that the bathroom doesn't have a sink. But there is a faucet in the wall, so you can still do everything you would do with a sink ^^

This hostel makes you feel at home. I was picked up by the hostel owner Budi from the ferry port, got an upgrade to an even bigger room free of charge and instantly met other nice travelers. After I booked a motorcycle and the Ijen tour for the next day, totally uncomplicated and spontaneous, I sat on the cool rooftop area, which even has a small swimming pool! In this hostel you will never feel alone. You can buy the best breakfast for only 15.000 and ask everything about booking busses, tours or whatever you want to do. Budi will help you, or organize it for you :)

The tour was amazing but the guide didn't explain anything. He just help to follow the way. I think the shared bathroom in the first floor need love. If they fix this bathroom could be nice

Budi is a nice person. He picked me up from the harbour for a good price and I booked with him the tour to Ijen Volcano. The private room was ok, big space just for me and nice spot on the top. The hostels is far away the city, but it is good location for taking the tour and you can find some shop around for buying food.
