LJAVAS VILLAS

The staff, and especially the hotel owner, are described as very kind, welcoming, helpful, and informative. The host assists guests with everything they need: obtaining health certificates for the Mount Ijen hike, purchasing tickets, renting scooters, and arranging transfers to their next destinations. He also provides respirators and flashlights for the volcano trek. Guests note that he is simply a pleasure to chat with.

Guests can order on-site freshly prepared meals, which many describe as delicious, home-cooked, and affordable. The menu features dishes such as Nasi Goreng and mashed potatoes with chicken, served in generous portions. Some guests mention that the menu is limited and meal preparation can take some time. It is also possible to request meals to be prepared for a specific time.

For guests' convenience, the rooms are equipped with a large 19-liter drinking water bottle with a pump. Clean kettles and mugs are also provided. Some rooms, such as the Junior Suite, feature a dedicated area for drying clothes.

Guests rate the beds as comfortable and cozy, which is especially important for resting after the volcano hike. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a Smart TV, and good lighting. On the downside, some visitors mention that insects such as ants, cockroaches, or flying termites (laron) can enter the rooms through gaps under the doors, which is natural given the hotel's rural setting.

The rooms, particularly the Junior Suite, offer a scenic view of the mountains, the river, and the jungle.

Cleanliness at the hotel is rated very highly: the rooms and bathrooms are described as spotlessly clean, new, and fresh. Guests appreciate the absence of any damp smells. The shower provides an uninterrupted supply of hot water, and a hairdryer is also available.
