Review of Didus Homestay Bed & Breakfast 2*

Vinicius R.

10/10
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Didus Homestay and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Banyuwangi.
The bungalows are incredibly charming, beautifully decorated with wood and thoughtful details that create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Everything was spotless, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with great attention.
The outdoor area is fantastic. The gardens are lovely, the pool is beautiful and inviting, and there are plenty of comfortable spaces to relax, unwind, and meet fellow travelers. It's the kind of place where you end up wanting to spend more time than you originally planned.
Breakfast deserves a special mention. Every meal was delicious, freshly prepared, and clearly made with care. You can really feel the dedication and hospitality in every detail.
What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the incredible team. Everyone was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and genuinely interested in making our experience special. During our stay, they invited us to join them for dinner during a local village festival, giving us the opportunity to experience a very authentic part of local culture. They even arranged seats for us to watch a traditional Seblang dance performance, which became one of the highlights of our time in East Java.
We also booked both of our tours through the homestay—the Ijen Volcano trek and the Menjangan Island excursion—and we were extremely happy with both experiences. The tours were private, very well organized, and conducted with excellent guides and staff. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always focused on safety while ensuring we had a great time. We would absolutely recommend arranging these tours through Didus Homestay, as everything was handled smoothly and exceeded our expectations.
The location is slightly outside the city center, but we actually saw that as a positive. It is close to the train station, and for travelers who enjoy a more local and authentic atmosphere rather than staying in a busy central area, it is an excellent choice. With a scooter, getting around Banyuwangi is easy and convenient, so being a little farther from downtown is not an issue at all.
The staff made us feel more like friends than guests. We are incredibly grateful for all the kindness, generosity, and hospitality we received during our stay.
If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing place run by genuinely wonderful people, Didus Homestay is the perfect choice. We would happily stay here again and recommend it without hesitation.
Thank you so much for everything!
