Gabriel, Sun and Diana go above and beyond to make sure you feel at home at the hostel. I also booked my trips to Mount Bromo and Tumpak Sewu waterfall with them and it was totally worth it. I would highly recommend the hostel to anyone looking for a great stay in Malang and to meet other like-minded travellers.

The property was very clean. The showers were good. There is also a gym that I didn't manage to try out but would have loved to have used. The owners and staff are very helpful - I only had a few days to check out Java so had to rush it a bit. But they helped me with what transport to get and the best package for Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen and information about going to yogyakarta. In the end I managed to fit it all in, in a few days due to their help. Very grateful. Thank you
