Schöne Anlage mit toller Wohlfühlatmosphäre
Pros:

Schöne Unterkunft in guter Lage mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber:innen. Ich habe mich sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Eryl und Marco waren immer bereit zu unterstützen und zu beraten. Ich konnte sogar Marco‘s Fahrrad mieten - es gibt auch Scooter und Eryl organisiert die Teilnahme an Snorkling Tours und hilft bei Fährtickets. Das Ftühstück war super und das Personal insgesamt sehr freundlich. Toller Aufenthalt!

Cons:

nichts

Gentilezza dei gestori
Pros:

Il gestore Marco è stato molto cordiale e disponibile. Ci siamo affidati a lui per l'acquisto dei biglietti della speed boat. Camera semplice, ma dotata di tutto il necessario. Su richiesta è disponibile il phon. La posizione è comoda per raggiungere il porto e il centro di Karimunjawa (10 minuti a piedi). È possibile noleggiare gli scooter.

Un luogo perfetto per scoprire l’isola
Pros:

Guesthouse adorabile con bungalow spaziosi e puliti. Staff gentilissimo, atmosfera famigliare, Marko ci ha aiutato ad organizzare gli spostamenti e i tour sull’isola. Posizionato vicino al centro ma in una zona tranquilla e silenziosa (la moschea si sente in lontana a ma non da fastidio). Si può noleggiare un motorino direttamente in struttura il che rende gli spostamenti molto comodi e veloci. Acqua potabile sempre disponibile, spazi comuni molto gradevoli e la compagnia dei dolcissimi gatti rende tutto ancora più piacevole.

Cons:

Colazione un po’ scarsa, acqua della doccia un po debole (per chi ha i capelli lunghi è un po fastidioso) e formiche che girano dentro e fuori dalla camera (siamo nella natura quindi si devono mettere in conto). Metterei qualche mensola/mobile in più nelle camere per maggiore comodità

Parfait!
Pros:

Que dire de plus que tous les avis exceptionnels que nous avons pu lire sur Ayu hôte!? Tout était parfait! Accueil très sympathique, propriétaires à l'écoute, petit déjeuner extraordinaire, chambre très propre avec douche extérieure, climatisation, réfrigérateur, bouilloire, chambre nettoyée tous les jours avec refild water, moustiquaire, etc ... Très bonne situation à côté du port, et cependant très calme, warungs à 10 minutes à pied, location de scooters sur place (nécessaires pour la découverte de cette île), massage (très bon) en chambre, organisation de sortie snorkeling, etc. Staff très sympa et efficace. De plus le propriétaire nous a réservé en amont les billets de ferry, nous les a transmis par whatsapp dès l'ouverture de la billetterie et nous a envoyé une personne pour nous récupérer au port lors de notre arrivée sur l'île. Vraiment, un service et une qualité d'accueil parfaits! Nous avons vraiment aimé notre séjour à Ayu Hôtel dans lequel vivent également plusieurs chats adorables. Merci à Marco et sa famille!

Cons:

Nous avons tout aimé

Semplicemente perfetto
Pros:

Soggiorno perfetto, situato in una posizione comodissima sull'Isola di Karimunjawa ,al momento dell'arrivo al porto un autista della struttura vi aspetterà per portarvi all'hotel.
Le camere sono ben ordinate e soprattutto pulite, il bungalow con il bagno esterno nella totale privacy è una particolarità che mi farà ricordare a lungo questo soggiorno.
I due proprietari Eryl e Marco meritano una menzione speciale , mi hanno aiutato a organizzare e prenotare il traghetto da/per l'isola, la gita in barca con snorkeling e la prenotazione dello scooter da utilizzare già prima dell'arrivo dall'Italia.
Sono stati meticolosi nell'assicurarsi che tutto procedesse al meglio durante il soggiorno.
Colazioni sempre buone con scelta dolce/salato preparata al momento.
Mi auguro di tornarci presto.

Cons:

nulla.

Would stay again in a heartbeat!
Pros:

The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff were incredibly helpful. They organized our scooter rental, snorkelling trip, and boat tickets both ways. They would go out of their way to make the stay as comfortable as possible.

As a bonus- There were lots of cute cats around the property!

Wer noch nicht auf Karimunjawa war, sollte hierher kommen!!!
Pros:

Marco und Ariel sind so wunderbare Gastgeber. Mit Liebe und täglichem Engagement kümmern sie sich um das Wohl aller Gäste. Auf besondere Wünsche wird sofort eingegangen. Tipps zur Insel bekommt man gleich im Kennenlerngespräch. Ein Gespräch mit Ariel öffnet die Herzen! Danke dafür ❤️
Die Zimmer sind sauber und schön eingerichtet. Die Fährfahrt, eine Schnorcheltour und Scooters können bequem über die Unterkunft gebucht werden. Das Frühstück ist täglich frisch zubereitet.
