Very nice and well managed place, located in Karimunjawa harbour. I stayed in both the dorm and a private room, and they were both very clean and confortable. Free tea and coffee are provided. WiFi works well and there is a rooftop area to sit and work. The staff is very friendly and always present. They help with scooter rental and tour booking for very reasonible price. Laundry came back to me perfectly clean and folded. Breakfast is simple but is a nice addition in respect to the price.

No complaints, just want to suggest that cleaning equipment be provided in each room because this is near the beach so a lot of sand id brought into the room 🙏🏻

Strategic location, comfortable and very easy to access ✨

Very good hostel with a nice vibe. The rooms are spacious (some with open air bathroom - love it), the team is friendly and the breakfast is nice. Bodhi is located near the alun-alun which is a 15 minute walk from the main harbour. It is possbile to book snorkeling trips or to rent a motor cycle. I really love this place :)

Bring a mosquito-net. Because of the open bathroom there were a lot of mosquitos.

Really nice vibe, friendly people.

The dorm doesn't really have a ventilation system but they try to air out the room by leaving the door open during the day.

I loved my stay here. Ali picked me up from the harbor and brought me to the hostel. The hostel has a very cozy and chill vibe. I hadn't had lunch so the staff prepared me something. The place is really clean and the dorm is ok. The shower outside the dorm has hot water. They organize trips around the island & Ali took us to the best local warungs for dinner. I want to thank the staff for helping me book my ferry ticket and making me feel like family!

Staying in the dorm room at Bodhi Tree Hostel in Karimunjawa was pretty good, I was happy with it overall. The bed was nice, which made for a good night's sleep. They gave us clean towels, which was a plus. Just a heads up though, you gotta bring your own soap and other shower stuff. The AC worked great and kept the room nice and cool. The staff there were friendly, always happy to help. And the food they cooked was tasty! The only bummer was that the light on my bunk bed, number 1 (the one in front of the lockers), didn't work. Also, the power socket there wasn't working at all, which was a bit annoying. But apart from those little things, everything else was fine and just what I expected.

For me everything was fine, but for the sake of completeness the room smelled a little chemical and the mosque is quite loud and starts at 4.30 am. Because of the other reviews I was prepared for this, so it didn’t take me by surprise :)

The staff was lovely and so helpful! The beds are comfortable and have curtains. Breakfast was delicious!!! And even if the hostel is offering tea and coffee it’s nice to have a coffee shop and a bakery (both worth a visit) next door ;)

Warm welcome by the staff. Very well located. Cosy common spaces and very clean. Possible to rent scooters and join other activities such as snorkeling. If you want to stay close to the harbour and the center with restaurants, this is your place to be.

The cleanliness could be Improved. The common area as well as the toilets where constantly in the condition as if they were cleaned a couple of days before even though i know they were cleaned every day. Omnipresent smell of cigaretes was disturbing. Some people smoke there, as it's a big open area, but I don't think the ashtrays are being emptied at all.

It's a good place to stay on budget in Karimunjawa, fri3ndly and helpful Staff, nice breakfast and access to kitchen.

We stayed in the dorm room which was basic but comfortable for our few days stay on the island. All of the staff were great and helped with hiring scooters, they taught my friend how to ride one. They also organised the best snorkeling trip we have been on so far which made the trip!

The Place is Great, good vibes, nice people, and Best of all is The Breakfast.

The AC was not the strongest and in a room of 8 it can be really warm. The room felt a little too compact at times when everyone is checking in or out at the same time. The sliding door in the room is stiff and loud which is not ideal to use during the night.

Loved the vibes of this place as it reflects the island life. Cute family owned place with brilliant breakfast every morning. Bed were comfy with private curtain and light and two shower facilities (one inside and one outside the room) lockers are only big enough for personal items and must padlock is needed. Staff very friendly and welcoming and will help you with activities and suggestions to eat.

N/A.

The staff at this property are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for being able to walk to most of the restaurants in the town and if you hire a scooter you are able to explore the whole island with no troubles. We had an issue with the ferry which the staff kept us updated about throughout the day- which was beyond helpful as we wouldn’t have known what the situation was with it otherwise. The food is also delicious, and worth trying even if you don’t stay.

The women who work on this hostel are super friendly and polite. They prepare a simple but nice breakfast every morning, always with a smile! Apart from that location is absolutely great and perhaps the only downside (at least for me) is the low quality of the bunkbeds Also too many of them concerning the size of the dorm. As a result it's a little bit too crowded. Anyways, taking into account the price I think it's reasonable!

I think the place would benefit from a 'clean up after yourself' policy as there were often no clean mugs or teaspoons in the morning to make coffee and the staff are busy enough as it is. Breakfast was okay but can be a little late if you are an early riser; sometimes I was served at half seven, other times not until half eight (officially breakfast is 8-10). Hot water for drinks is not always readily available early in the morning either. Bit of a niche complaint but the curtains on the dorm beds are so loud—wooden curtain loops would be much quieter on the metal bunk beds.

The staff were very friendly. Scooter rental was quick and easy. I believe you can book a snorkelling tour through them, and I also saw that they helped a couple of guests with their return ferry bookings. Good WiFi, and air conditioning in the dorm. Small lockers available. Free tea, coffee and water bottle refill. A hot enough shower with okay pressure (the en suite is cold but has better pressure). Good location. It is fun to sit on a swing while you eat breakfast!

Bathroom was a bit too simple/non functional. No place to put your stuf, no warm water in the en-suite bathroom. Curtains on the beds barely worked, could use a refresher.

The best personnel ever! Lovely women who were very helpful with everything. Amazing breakfast! Good location.
