Good Karma Guesthouse Good Karma Bromo Guesthouse

Arthur is amazing. Organizes everything you need. Super fast in reply.
However most staff at the accommodation doesn’t care. Smoking or on the phone, that’s it. The place is dirty. Bedroom stinky. No insects however, except for some spiders in the entrance hall. Kitchen is a mess. 1-2cm layer of dust and garbage under the bed. No trashbin in room/restroom.
Location is great to hike King Kong hill and bromo. Warm water works. Jeeps pass the entrance around 2:30 in the morning, you’ll hear that if you have the front room like we did. Wasn’t a problem with earplugs.

Great place, comfy bed with blankets and hot water in the room. The view is nice as well and the staff is really friendly.
For this kind of place it's a great accommodation.
Recommended.

The location is perfect, really near the volcano so it is really easy to reach it by foot. Also really nice staff, really welcoming and friendly! The bed was also quite comfortable.

First some positive things: The location of the guesthouse is great, you have some great views to the mountains and it’s really in the center of the tiny town, close to the starting point and close to restaurants and many little mini markets. There was free drinking water and the staff was quite nice, I asked for new towels and they gave them to me. I slept okay in the bed, not the most comfy, but you’ll be out all day so it doesn’t matter, as you’ll be tired.
I did have hot water and it was totally fine to shower, other friends didn’t have hot shower and it was not fixed after asking, even though the guesthouse claims to follow through with changing the gas bottle. Wasn’t a big problem for us because our friend could shower in our bathroom.
Now the negative:
The room I stayed in (bottom floor, second on the left) was dark, moldy and filthy. Not too much actual dirt, like I didn’t see hair or anything in the bed, the biggest problem was definitely the super high humidity in the room. Wet clothes didn’t dry within two days and clothes that weren’t wet before, were wet after being in the room for the whole day. That’s als why we had to ask for new towels because they didn’t dry within 24h. I read all the previous answers of the guesthouse, and I get it, that there can be difficult circumstances due to weather conditions, BUT there was no way in my room, the humidity produced by the shower to go anywhere. There needs to be a Ventilation system.

I unfortunately had to stay here as part of a tour. I don’t recommend it at all: no heating = unbearable at night, and while they provide a duvet I had to sleep with a beanie and neck warmer not to get sick! No hot water in my room (and it wasn’t fixed while I was there), but I was lucky to have water at all since another person didn’t have any water even in their bathroom. Unacceptable — I stayed in more remote places at this altitude in emerging countries and they managed to have heating and hot water! The bathroom gets completely flooded if you shower and never dries. Bring your own towel, what they give you is so flimsy it is useless. The staff is kind and the breakfast and dinner are acceptable. It is close to Bromo hike starting point, but I would stay farther and have a bit more comfort, since even from here you have to wake up in the middle of the night. Do yourself a favor and at least go somewhere with heating and hot water!
