    Barely saw the staff there (but they answered on whatsapp). Never saw breakfast whatever the time. Staff not very reliable (they had confirmed twice to pick me up for ferry on my last day and forgot to warn me the person that was supposed to come was not available anymore, fortunately i asked the night before if all was ok, otherwise i would have missed my ferry). Not enough space to hang drying clothes for everybody...

    Perfect location (close to fish market, restaurants, port for snorkling, and walking distance to ferry). The decoration and aura of the place is very nice : bottom common room and top terrace. Very good vibe ! Dormitory beds are pretty confy with privacy, and closed lockers. AC in the room (very welcome !). Stylish large bathrooms. Staff very reactive on whatsapp and helpful.

    miss: floor squeegee for shower to evacuate water and have floor dry faster. No upper bedsheet. Bathroom would benefit a lot of a vinegar scrub to clean mineral deposits. It would be good to have more documentation on available activities and not just snorkelling day tour. Also, I asked for help to book online ferry (Indonesian bank requirement) and was refused, not sure why.

    In the village, near alun alun

    Common spaces were pretty dirty, especially the communal kitchen. Could use a weekly deep clean by staff and a list of clear expectations for guests to clean up after themselves in the kitchen. Buggy, though bug spray and nets were provided and helped :)

    The hostel is lovely - beautifully designed and comfortable. Our room had a sweet outdoor bathroom which was a nice touch. Staff was excellent: super friendly and very helpful in getting bikes and scooter arranged for exploring the island

    The owner and staff were so nice and understanding! The aircon didn’t work the first night and the water didn’t work one night either. We had to go across the street to shower. But the staff really cared and tried their best to fix things. I was even offered a ride to the port when checking out. I would definitely stay here again just for the staff!

    I recently stayed at this city-centre hostel in Karimunjawa, and it was a fantastic experience. The location right in the heart of the city was incredibly convenient, making it easy for us to explore. The place was always clean, which I really appreciated. What made my stay even better were the staff members, Dimas and Morgan. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome. If you plan to visit Karimunjawa, this centrally-located hostel should be your first choice. We're excited to return and enjoy their exceptional service and a tidy environment once more.

    There's a lot of mosquitos, as anticipated due to the proximity to the coastline. The aircon is working but insufficiently cool for accommodating 8 guests within a single room. A bit unsure about the security since the staff isn't present round-the-clock; however, this is likely usual given the city's low crime rate.

    Really worth the price! I booked the dorm room for a group of 8. The bunkbeds are comfortable, equipped with curtains for extra privacy. The bathrooms are spacious and clean. The location is convenient, just 2 minutes walk from alun-alun and the nearby harbor. Also lots of cafe around!

    The WiFi isn’t very strong in the rooms. The mattress is a bit firm.

    The bodhi team are the friendliest people you will meet. They go out of their way to help you. The style of the place has the perfect beach/ backpacker vibe and the location is great.
