Bromo Venture

We booked two rooms, one downstairs and one upstairs. The upstairs room was nice and well-maintained. The ground-floor room was clean but had an unpleasant smell. There was only one bathroom per floor, which was insufficient. The accommodation has many pets (cats, dogs, fish, birds), so allergy sufferers should take note. The owner was friendly and answered all our questions about the different tour options. We ultimately booked the group tour for 600, 000 per person, which we can recommend as it was the simplest option. There is a supermarket close to the accommodation but for restaurants you have to walk around 10-15 min. Or take a taxi.

The rooms upstairs are nice and comfortable, but the one we had downstairs had a bad smell, which was disappointing. There are also too few toilets for the number of guests. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. An okay stay if you can get an upstairs room!

Review for the Hotel as well as the tours to Bromo and Ijen.
Hotel: We stayed for two nights and the Hotel as well as our room was very clean. We had the possibility to use the kitchen, which was very helpful, since we arrived quite late. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and had someone pick us up from the train station. Only, the AC in our room did not work properly, but which was bearable. Also, there are only 2 toilets with showers, which at certain times can lead to having to wait a few minutes.
We booked the tours to Bromo and Ijen in advance and the correspondence with the owner who also organized the tour was very fast and rich in detail. Also, both tours could be done directly after eachother, but we chose to split it (we did Bromo the first night/morning, slept, hung out at the BJBR, had dinner and at lunch time the next day the Ijen tour started). Also, for this package we paid around 1 450 000 per person (incl. Everything to get to Bali except dinner and lunch on the Ijen tour). We probably could have gotten the package cheaper if we had booked the different parts ourselved, but it was very nice having had everything planned, so we could just enjoy. Also, we paid the tour fees at the Hotel in cash (card was not possible).
Bromo tour: Everything worked perfectly, we had a very friendly driver, who spoke English and picked us up (at around 2 am) at the Hotel.
