Too much noise!
Pros:

Brilliant location. You walk out of the property into the middle of the old town. The pod was as expected. Very clean and functional. I particularly liked the relaxing music you can play to go to sleep with.

Cons:

Soundproofing was poor. I could hear the guy above me on his phone, even though he seemed to be talking quietly. From around 10.30 he and his friends started running between rooms, letting doors bang and talking in the corridors. This went on until 2.30 when they checked out. There is 24 hour reception here and they must have heard what was going on but did nothing. I was probably unlucky, but I won't be staying in a Bobopod again.

Pros:

Superfijne plek! Heel vriendelijk personeel, pods zijn top. Genoeg ruimte en veel privacy. Douches en toiletten waren schoon. Locatie is erg leuk, in het oude gedeelte van Semarang.

Fijn dat ik me kon terugtrekken in mijn eigen cocoon/bubble
Pros:

Perfecte locatie middenin de oude stad, (Kota lama). Lekkere slaapcabine met een goede matras en je kunt je eigen sfeerverlichting bepalen met je eigen ontspanningsmuziek. Zeer comfortabel.

Cons:

Het was voor mij een beetje te koud in de nacht. Ik kon de airconditioning niet afstellen, althans ik kon geen knop vinden.

Zentral und sauber, aber buchen sie OHNE Frühstück!
Pros:

Freundliches Personal, saubere und große Kapsel, sauberes Bad.

Cons:

Personal konnte nur schlecht Englisch und war daher wenig hilfreich beim Finden eines Parkplatzes. Wir konnten die Person, die über uns eine Kapsel hatte in der Nacht hören, als sie das WC aufsuchte.
Das Frühstück war eine Box mit kaltem Reis, sehr scharfer Sauce und einem Hühnchenflügel, obwohl ich gesagt hatte, dass wir Vegetarier sind. Kein Tee oder Kaffee dabei. Den muss man im Automaten kaufen. Und für dieses "Frühstück" zahlt man 40.000 pro Person!

Favoriete hostel
Pros:

Dit is de beste hostel waarin ik tot nu heb verbleven. Je logt in via een app en met je telefoon maak je de deur van je pod open. Het is in principe een klein kamertje met een double size bed en je hebt ruimte om je spullen kwijt te kunnen op de tafel. Ik vond deze kamer zeer comfortabel en dit is echt een dikke aanrader!!

Pros:

Very comfortable. Good location. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Smokers in communal vending machine and eating area. They need to restrict smoking to an area away from non smokers eating and drinking or better still just ban smoking on their property both indoors and outdoors.
I would have rated them 10 if it were not for secondhand smoke everytime I passed through the communal area.
