Avoid
Pros:

I liked location and the tour with very nice guide. That is it.

Cons:

The smell in the room was terrible, we had to ventilate by keeping the door open, even though it was very cold. It’s honestly frustrating to read the hotel’s excuses about how much effort they put in and how it’s difficult because the hotel is located high up. Come on, guys, those cobwebs didn’t appear overnight. The toilet wasn’t cleaned, the windows weren’t cleaned either. The place itself has real potential and could be so much better. No one is asking for fancy service, but basic cleanliness is a must.

Pros:

Proximité randonnée de départ pour les points de vue et cratère Bromo
Notre driver commandé par la guest house pour nous ramener à la gare de probolingo était efficace !

Cons:

La propreté laisse à désirer ; même pour une nuit il faut s’accrocher

Pratique si on passe une nuit pour faire le mont bromo mais pas plus
Pros:

Un bon emplacement pour faire le mont bromo à pied et le personnel était gentil.

Cons:

C’est très rustique, il y avait seulement une prise dans la chambre, les rideaux n’étaient absolument pas couvrant. Il n’y avait pas de savon.

Excessive mold & moisture, poor security
Pros:

The location & the staff were friendly.
It is a budget option. The price is expensive for indonesia but this is cheaper than some of the others in the area. You do not get 5 star facilities with a cheap price point and I do not expect that from this hotel either. I am writing this review with this in mind.

Cons:

*CAUTION: MOLD*
There is little security. The main door is open all day and sometimes there’s no staff around. Also, the lock on my door was just a small sliding lock, that could easily be kicked down.

There is also a huge health concern. There is a humidity problem and Mold was climbing down the walls of my room. My lungs unfortunately hurt by the end of the first day. I see the hotel reply to similar reviews with snarky comments about being out of your comfort zone and that’s how humid mountain environments are. I work and live in a very similar climate, I understand that it is difficult to manage this, but it’s also a health risk and transparency is important for guests with preexisting health conditions.

Being upset with the mold & security does not mean I’m not comfortable getting out of my comfort zone. There are some things that any hotel, budget or luxury, is responsible for ensuring their guests. Basic safety and health is one of them.

Pros:

Location, ideal if you want to hike to a Bromo sunrise viewpoint and close to the few restaurants. Warm showers. Staff helpful. Affordable for budget travellers.

Cons:

Really cold, damp, smell of mould, wet bedding and water from the tap was a funny colour. We know that it is hard to manage this in such a mountainous area however work is needed to improve insulation and heating of the rooms to minimise these issues.

Personnel sympa et chambre confortable
Pros:

Le personnel est très gentil et m’a donné une chambre à l’intérieur ainsi qu’une couverture supplémentaire à ma demande pour ne pas avoir froid. Étant arrivée tard ils ne pouvaient me préparer un repas mais m’ont recommandé un très bon warung à côté de l’hôtel. Le lit est confortable et la chambre conforme à la description. C’est un hôtel à bas prix et nous avons ce pour quoi nous payons. Très proche du Bromo et à 45min-1h à pieds du point de vue pour le lever de soleil.

Cons:

Si la propreté était correcte, il serait appréciable de lever les araignée au plafond. Personne n’a envie de dormir avec ça. Cela demande peu d’effort, donc c’est le seul point qui m’a dérangé.

Super escapade au Bromo
Pros:

Auberge simple mais charmante au pied du Bromo. La vue sur la vallée et le champ de poireaux est superbe, les chambres simples mais propres et confortables (dans le standing du village), le petit-déj était super et notre interlocuteur parlait même français (quel heureux hasard) ! Nous avons pu faire le Bromo etc à pied depuis l'auberge.

Cons:

Nous avons tout de même eu des problèmes avec l'eau qui a été coupée à la fin de notre séjour.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Lit confortable et eau (très) chaude disponible, chambre propre, bien placé au centre du village (à proximité des commerces et restaurants), bon endroit pour y passer une nuit pour faire les ascensions du Bromo et du King Kong Hill à pied.

Cons:

Propreté de la douche et toilettes, ça aurait mérité un nettoyage. L'eau n'avait pas de pression le soir, alors le chauffe-eau n'arrivait pas à se mettre en marche à cause du faible débit pour chauffer l'eau, on a dû atteindre le matin pour se doucher.

Obrzydliwie brudny hotel, jedyny plus to lokalizacja
Pros:

Lokalizacja

Cons:

Stan obiektu jest fatalny, wygląda jakby nikt w nim nie sprzątał od lat. Pokój jest obrzydliwie brudny, aż strach dotknąć czegokolwiek.
