Reviews of Twentynine Homestay

This is a full house where all 3 rooms are rented to guest. You have a living room, shared kitchen, dining table... Quite cheap also. Close to Banyuwangi speedboat harbor

Few food options in a short distance. There is a fountain with fish in it in the backyard, water runs 24/7 and is quite noisy. Basically its like sleeping in a bathroom with tap water running all night long. Just remove the fish and turn off the fountains, it doesnt make any sense ...

Cheap price. Room was fairly big. About a 30 min walk into the centre of Banyuwangi. Initially staff were quite responsive and told us about Ijen tours we could do. There’s a communal fridge and small kitchen to use.

We didn’t interact that much with the staff. We had to message to get breakfast then the food was just left outside and only told us 10 mins later. We got a room with a private bathroom but it didn’t have hot water for the shower so we just ended up using the shared bathroom instead. No sinks in the bathrooms either. Sometimes noisy from the mosque.

Clean , calm , very good people , very good breakfast

-cold water when I was there

I really like this homestay because the staffs are so friendly and nice. Their breakfasts are so delicious and they support me a lot. The host helps me with a tour to Kawah Ljen. That is a memorable trip. Thanks a lot 🙏

My favorite stay in Indonesia so far. Great value for the money! The room was basic but exceptionally clean, the whole atmosphere of the rooms and living area are great super friendly hosts aswell!

There wasn't something I disliked about this accommodation. Make sure to know whether mount ijen is open or not, when i went to banyuwangi mt ijen was closed due to earthquakes or something, nothing that has to do with this facility

Very friendly owner, nice place to stay for doing the Ijen tour. Some shops around and streetfood possible. Only tourists sleep in the house. The owner lives just right around the corner. Book the tour with the owner for 320.000pP. I had a live changing experience and it wouldn’t had been the same if I had done the hike just by myself.

Location, price, spacious, friendly staff

Breakfast is very basic and coffee luke warm at best (and extremely sweet - best to request sugar on the side!)

the AC worked? the staff meant well.

everything else. uncomfortable bed, stuffy interior that smells like mold, stinking old washroom. cockroaches.

Very helpful host Quick response Clean Good location

I got the wrong room 😪. This was my mistake. There are 3 rooms in the property. The other two both have air condition and windows. When looking at the property facilities it listed AC, so I assumed that my room has AC, but if you look at the room information it says clearly fan. Unfortunately I missed this. In addition this is the only room has no window 😪

Place is very clean and comfortable. Ac works good, place is spacious, very private. Was able to rent a great bike from the owner.

The television was blurry and limited channels.

This is a good-value and well-located guesthouse, run by an owner who lives close by. It was very clean and organised with a good kitchen.

Due to no host, new travellers arrived late at night, and were unaware of others sleeping, so they were noisy for a while and very late. Of course, we should have asked them to be quieter but this is easy with hindsight. A sign or reminder could help with this!

My father and I rented a double room with private bathroom and a double room with shared bathroom for 4 nights. We were expecting the family to be living in the house, but it was not the case. And since the third bedroom was not occupied, we had the house all to ourselves. There is AC in the bedrooms and a big fan in the living room. The beds were comfy. The house is in a quiet street with barely no traffic, but very close to the main road. As other comments said, there was no sink in the bathroom, but since we could use the kitchen sink, it was not a problem. The water for the shower was cold in the shared bathroom, but again, it was not a problem as the weather was hot anyway and the cold water felt good. Soap and a towel were provided The family was very friendly and helpful. They provided breakfast on request and for a small fee. They organized a tour to Ijen for us, and they drove us themselves and were our guides for trips to Baluran NP, Jagir waterfall and a beach where it was possible to snorkel.

There is a mosque nearby with very loud speakers on the street. It was not a problem for the sunset prayer, but being temporarily awoken at 5 in the morning was annoying. The toilets were western toilets, but non flushing. You have to use a small bucket of water to flush. Only a small plaid was provided on the bed, which could be a problem if two people have to share it.

First off, a massive thank you to the host and her family for helping us in every way they possibly could. They were all so nice and helpfull! The place itself was clean and comfortable, and the little kantine, where we could buy some snacks and cold drinks came in very handy when we arrived late in the afternoon and went for the Ijen tour the same night. The host arranged it for a really good price and we had the nicest tour guide. One day later, when we suddenly decided to leave Banyuwangi, the host and her husband were really committed to help us find a shared bus, even though it was already (too) late for that. They managed to get us a shared ride and we even got picked up at the homestay. Such wonderful people, and wish everyone can stay here, especially for the amazing price!

Lovely hosts, they were accomodating for our early check in and we got a very nice breakfast at a very low cost. Distance to Banyuwangi center and beach was not as far as we thought, the place was clean and the hosts also helped us organize our travels to the ferry terminal. Really great place, especially considering the value for money!

Quite simple toilet/shower facilities with no sink in the bathroom, but this was only a minor inconvenience.

The owners were accommodating, kind and very helpful. They helped us book Ijen tour as well as rent scooters. This place is so incredibly clean and the breakfasts were amazingly delicious! Just a wonderful place to stay!

Family were super helpful and friendly. House is lovely and clean. Helped book waterfall and bromo trips.

Shower isn’t hot the only slight inconvenience

It's a lovely and peaceful place where to stay, the perfect homestay to rest after a good hike to mount Ijen. The owners are nice et very helpful. The house/room is perfectly clean and spacious. The bed was big and very confortable, also good storage for my stuff. Good location in a nice district. I 100% recommend.

Nothing, it was perfect

Nice guest house. Host very nice and helpful. Nice breakfast. Room ok size. Has ensuite with toilet. There is a shared shower outside next to kitchen. Kitchen has shared fridge and kettle and portable gas burner for simple cooking or boiling water for tea coffee. Initially hard to find. Down alley way. About 2 min walk to main street.

All good
