I cannot recommend this hostel enough if you are in East Java, especially if you are looking to do a waterfall/Bromo/Ijen tour. The owners, Diana and Gabriel, are the kindest and most helpful hosts, who went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of from the moment I arrived. They helped organize my tour (which was amazing!!), gave me local recommendations, and even assisted me in booking my onward travel. Aruna Hostel is also owned by them and right next door if Little Malang is full!!
