    Our stay has been amazing! Koko, the owner, supported us with everything but mostly he is one of the kindest person we met. The room is super nice, with the sunset in front of you creating a magical landscape. Breakfast is great, we loved the toast! And the position is perfect to visit all the beaches of the island and is near the city. We’ll be back again for sure! An incredible atmosphere to relax and fill your soul with peace

    A great place to discover the island of Karimun Jawa! Close to the best beaches, the city center and its restaurants and bars. Coco, the manager of Omah Alchy Cottages, is the best person to organize everything and to make your stay a perfect moment. Easy to travel in the island using taxi or 2-wheels

    Nothing that comes to mind here

    We loved the whole set up here, with the accommodation right at the water's edge and the beautiful grounds. We had the opportunity to stay on the new houseboat, which was fantastic - felt like were in the Maldives!! - and also in the cottage, which was really gorgeous too. They really take care of the accommodation and facilities here. Both accommodation options are thoughtfully arranged and each has its own kind of charm. The team that run the place are so friendly and the atmosphere here is just so relaxed. It was an amazing place to kick back and relax. Breakfast every day was great. They do a great oatmeal with fresh fruit. Koko is a great host, really responsive via Whatsapp, and was extremely helpful in sorting out our ferry tickets to and from the island. You can walk into town in about 10 mins - it's an easy walk but maybe bring a torch for the walk back after dark just for one small section of the road. There are also a couple of little warungs close by (check out the one up on the road to the left, as you walk towards Bens - they do the best local food, we are there 4 or 5 times, perfect every time). I guess the best thing about being on Karimunjawa is the peace and quiet, and Omah Alchy is a great combo of being calm and laid-back but within easy walking distance to town if you want a bit of variety. And finally.... there was a litter of puppies and their gorgeous Mum !! Couldn't ask for more :)

    Best stay I have ever had

    Not a con, but the owner does have five or so puppies who roam and play on the property. They are really well-behaved (even for two people who aren’t massive dog lovers), but just something to be mindful of when booking

    In all the travelling I have done, I’ve never had a homestay as good as this one. Koko (who runs the cottages) is truly amazing, always capable of organising whatever we needed (including a return fast ferry ticket at very short notice, when our previous accommodation said this was impossible). The actual property itself is beautiful - only a short walk into the main centre, yet secluded enough to feel like you’re in your own world. Forget the crowded spots of sunset beach on Karimunjawa, Omah Alchy Cottages gives you a perfect sunset view over the water all to yourself! All the facilities, organised activities and meals were amazing - if we ever come to Karimunjawa again, this will be the first place we choose to stay. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Koko and the staff of Omah Achy - you gave us the most memorable stay yet!

    Good to know before booking the boat: it is kind of rustic (bathroom especially), there were some ants in the room. Can be a little bit noisy at night between fishermen boats and a night club just next to the location (but music stop at 11:00 pm) But overall it was an amazing experience

    The location, the fact that the room was a boat, Coco’s kindness and help, the private pontoon with the amazing sunset view, the bar has also a fantastic view

    Great experience at Omah Alchy! The setting is magic, the bungalows super confortable and cute. On a clear day we will enjoy an amazing sunset by the pontoon. The hostel manager is very nice and will help you with everything you might need to know or do in Karimunjawa. Plus the food is delicious Would love to come back!

    Not the hotel's fault, but the road leading to the cottages is bumpy, dangerous, and extremely slippery when wet. A downside if you choose to rent a vehicle.

    The room and environment are very comfortable and definitely has the best service in Karimun. Strategic location and the staff are very friendly and were super helpful during our stay. The owner goes out of his way to make sure you enjoy your trip to the fullest. Finally, the breakfast is a winner!! 10/10❤

    Koko and his team were very helpful, accommodating to our family’s needs, including hiring portable stoves and snorkeling gears, and organising ferry tickets and cars to take us places. Location - right by the water, the kids loved playing in the water, the adults loved rafting around and snorkeling a short distance from shore. A short walk to the town square (for seafood dinner) Privacy - peace and quiet as there are only 4 villas. We hung out mostly in the property and loved the quietness and flexibility to be in the water.

    We booked the private cottage and it was amazing. It’s very charming and you can enjoy the sunsets from your terrace. Coco and the others are super friendly. The breakfast is good ! You can get kayaks and paddle easily to snorkeling spots. Also in walking distance to the city, like 15-20min
