Snooze Ijen

My stay at Snooze Hostel was one of the highlights of my time in Indonesia. From the moment I arrived, Becky and the entire team made me feel less like a guest and more like a friend welcomed into their home.
The atmosphere is incredibly warm and social, making it easy to meet fellow travelers and share stories. The staff genuinely care about their guests and are always happy to help with recommendations, transportation, and planning adventures around Banyuwangi. The hostel itself is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of spaces to relax after a long day of exploring.
What stood out most was the hospitality. Every conversation felt genuine, and the team’s kindness created an environment that was both relaxing and memorable. Whether you’re visiting Ijen, heading to Java’s volcanoes, or simply looking for a place to recharge, Snooze is the perfect base.
Thank you, Becky and the Snooze team, for making my stay so special. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend Snooze Hostel to anyone visiting Banyuwangi.

I stayed in both the basic and deluxe double rooms at Snooze Ijen and had a lovely stay in both. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had ample space, even in the more basic set ups. The property itself is lovely with lots of shaded indoor and outdoor areas. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. My only wish is for a sink in the en suite of the deluxe double, however this seems to be common across Indonesia.
The real highlight was the staff, who were genuinely all warm and welcoming at all times of the day. They all made an effort to introduce themselves and get to know each guest. They were very helpful with recommending restaurants, tours and sightseeing.
We booked the Ijen sunrise tour through Snooze which was affordable and well planned. The guides on the trip were excellent.

The staff were friendly, kind, and very helpful during my stay. The bathroom was also clean and well taken care of. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my stay here and would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable and clean place to stay in Banyuwangi 😊

I loved my stay at the Snooze Hostel Ijen!
The employees were really lovely, always super welcoming, smiling and kind from start to finish. We feel directly at ease and well received.
The hostel was very clean, the common areas as well as the rooms were well maintained, and the decoration is beautiful with a very chill and warm atmosphere.
They even accepted that I wait after my Check out.
Thanks again to the whole team ❤️🙏🏾

I had a very pleasant stay at Snooze. The facilities are very complete. The kitchen has a stove and plenty of kitchenware that guests can use. Plates and glasses are also fully provided. They offer free coffee and tea, and there is even ice and a refrigerator available.
Even after checkout, they allow guests to continue using shared facilities like the toilet, shower, and common area, which is very convenient.
They also offer car and motorcycle rentals, as well as trips to Ijen and another place 😍
The staff welcomed us very kindly.
I will definitely come back.
Thank you, Snooze!

Just finished the Ijen tour offered by Snooze. Very smooth organization, great people and guides thank you! They also let me use their facilities (shower, storage of my luggage, …) even though I wasn’t a guest and was just doing the tour through them. Thank you to all the staff for your help and always positive attitude. Will definitely stay here in the future:)

As many others here have said, this is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in.
The staff are incredible! So friendly and go out of their way to help arrange trips, travels and recommend good spots.
The hostel itself is spotlessly clean with free coffee and water and you can see that thought has gone into every details.
Cannot recommend enough.

I found this hostel through a Thai backpacker YouTuber who gave it a great review, and that’s what made me decide to stay here.
I can honestly say this hostel has some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced in Indonesia. The service was excellent, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the room was perfect, even though it was “just” a bed.
Everything felt comfortable, welcoming, and well taken care of. I’d definitely stay here again!

We did not stay at Snooze Hostel in Banyuwangi because they were fully booked, but we would like to highlight how friendly the ladies at the reception were. They helped us find another place to stay and later organised a trip to Ijen for us. The ladies always offered us something to drink and patiently answered all our questions about the Ijen trip, Banyuwangi and Java in general. Thank you very much for your warm welcome and kind help, dear Snooze Hostel team – even though we unfortunately were not able to stay at your hostel.

This is an amazing place to stay! The staff do a great job at keep everything neat and clean the whole time. They also make sure that you have a good plan while in Java and will provide help if needed. Each and every staff member was very kind and thoughtful. Viola especially, as she went out of her way to help me with my plan and even helped me when I was feeling sick. 10/10

Awesome Hostel sihhhh, what I needed basically provided:

3. The aura is like my home & I am very comfortable.
4. Kitchen, clean, everyone can use. Completely perfect.
5. Wifi connection strong and fast enough.
Aku semalam saja hanya transit untuk ke bali. This is the best hostel. Everyone must come here. Kebersihan number 1 di hostel ini. Suka banget bersihnya dan harumnya.

I had a wonderful stay at SNOOZE Ijen Hostel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with anything I needed. The place was clean, comfortable, and had a really warm, friendly atmosphere. Everything was well organized, and you can really feel that they care about their guests. Overall, a great experience I highly recommend staying here!

I had a fantastic stay at Snooze Hostel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and cozy, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when they arranged the shipping of belongings I had accidentally left behind — huge thanks for that. 🙏
I’m truly grateful for your warm hospitality and support. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting the area, and I hope to return one day!

We stayed 3 nights in Snooze Ijen,
Everything was perfect and really felt like home. 😊
We truly recommend this hostel if you stay in Banyuwangi.
A special thank you to the staff who were so friendly and always did the best to help us with organization and everything else.
We forgot to leave a tip but we hope this comment serves as one 🙏

What a beautiful place to stay!
Everything was spotless, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They helped us organize our trip to Mt. Ijen – which I honestly can’t recommend enough – and even assisted us with booking train tickets to Probolinggo. Overall, it was the perfect place to stay. I would 100% recommend this place!
The only downside was the air conditioning in the room. We were told it only had a fan, but there actually was an aircon – just without a remote. No one mentioned that we could use it if we paid an extra 100k, so the first night was pretty rough since it felt like 100 degrees in there.

READ TO THE END.
Snooze Ijen is an immaculate hostel — the rooms and shared spaces are beautiful and well maintained. The staff are all so friendly and helpful, and their partnered activity provider, ‘Explore Our Indonesia’ is brilliant.
We did the sunrise Ijen trek through EOI, which was great fun, and worth every penny. The guides were so kind and took lots of great photos.
We also took the shuttle service from Banyuwangi to Malang, which was great value. Our driver ‘Dino’ was lovely, and we stopped frequently for bathroom breaks. We stopped at a nice place for lunch too, and he recommended dishes for us. When we arrived at our hostel in Malang, I soon found that I had lost my wallet. The driver was quick to respond and searched his car, sending a video. It was not there, but he reached out to the place we had stopped for lunch (where I had last had it) and they had found it!
I was so sure I would never see my wallet again — Snooze and EOI have exceeded my expectations in every regard. Thank you to all of the staff for looking after us 🙏

Great stay at snooze Ijen for a very affordable price.
We stayed at snooze Ijen for 2 nights, and we were wonderfully received. The rooms are comfortable and the common spaces are great.
Staff is kind and very helpful, and always present.
No food / restaurant on site but guest fridge available and restaurants nearby.
The private room with fan got really hot, and the towels smelled quite bad, other than that it was perfect.
