One or two fails in food order

The hosts are super available, super nice and want to make our stay perfect!

Is a small house, only two available rooms.

Location is a spot into the jungle, with a comfortable bed and a very gentle persons. Next to the place you have beautiful rice fields and a yummy restaurant.

No negative, just a few tips for future travellers. Location a bit isolated so dependent on own transport or having the owners organise it (although that was part of the appeal for us). Mostly very quiet, but good to shift your body clock to fit around waking up for calls to prayer at the local mosque (convenient for waking up to go to Ijen). If you need an English speaking guide as well as a driver for tours, make sure to check this in advance - Putri came up Ijen with us, which was great as she was able to explain things to us, the other day we had a shorter tour just with her cousin driving, so didn't get any explanations. He was still very helpful and took us to a traditional wedding festival along the way when he heard the music playing - a highlight of that day.

Beautiful large room with comfortable bed, swimming pool, set in a lush tropical garden. Owners were very generous and helpful, providing snacks and fruit from their garden, organising transport and tours, organising laundry and massages for very reasonable prices. The warung at the other end of the village (Bu Widy) does delicious local food. The village is very friendly with children high-fiving us every time we walked up the street. Interesting to watch the rice fields being prepared and planted out.

Wonderful bungalow next to the family who are all so friendly and cute, helpful and cook great authentic Indonesian food and breakfast (rice, eggs or pancakes with fruits). They also helped organising our Ijen Tour what worked perfectly and was one of the best experiences we had in Jawa. You only have to know that since January 24 you need a health certificate from an Indonesian hospital for doing Ijen. The view is amazing, there are cute cats and chicken and it is far away from the city, do not be confused with the drive, you think you arrive in nowhere :) but totally worth the drive if you like nature and loneliness.

The kids are adorable but they are sometimes loud in the morning :-)

This stay was very healing for us! We had booked it due to it's closeness to Ijen but we were not feeling well so we took the time to relax instead. It was really wonderful and we spent our days lounging around the pool and walking into the village. The breakfast was tasty and filling, and the staff were friendly and comfortable. The family next door are also very sweet and they sometimes gave us veggies :-). Thanks Pondok Is Oke!!

We had a very good time at Pondok Is Oke, the family was very nice with us, they arranged shuttle and Ijen tour for us. The place was clean and comfortable, in the middle of their farm's fields. Breakfast was good. The place relaxing and quiet. I highly recommend this place for a trip to Ijen.

Comfortable place to stay. This business runs by a family that also living there . So it just like we are staying with the lokal. They grew some berries,corn, edamame,etc around the property and we get a chance to enjoy them. There is Warung bu Widi close by that serve delicious Indonesian foods if you need lunch and dinner. Definitely we will coming back there when we visit Banyuwangi.

Nothing to dislike.

This place is the real deal! It's an amazing place to stay and get a feel for the culture and landscape. The family that owns and runs it are warm and helpful. The setting amongst the rice terraces and up on the hill is stunning. Well worth staying for a few days to soak it all in. The rooms are lovely too and it's much cooler than down in the main town. The breakfasts are great too including fresh berries from the family garden.

The propertit in itself is fine. But the female host has been the worst liar we have seen in whole of the Indonesia. We came a bit late to see the blue fire and asked them if they could arrange a taxi for us, instead of telling is they can’t she told us we can’t go, we need a medical check and we have no time to make the medical check (WHICH WAS A LIE). I ask her if the has a raincoat she says she doesn’t have my size, I tell her then give to my girlfriend she is small, and then she says that she doesn’t have a raincoat. All in all the young lady is disgusting and almost ruined our chance of seeing the blue fire. I am very saddened because I have to give this horrible review as the other kid and the older gentlemen were nice.

Some of the hosts are nice.
