Located in Karimunjawa, within 2.1 km of Pancuran Beach, Loyal friend hostel karimunjawa is an accommodation offering sea views. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. Guests can have a drink at the bar. The hosts (Jawe and Tata) were very welcoming and attentive to any needs. The place has a very relaxing atmosphere and is ideal to chill out with a pleasant lounge and terrace right on the water front (don't fall in😎). Easy to walk around town and to nearby beaches. We are in our 60's and had 2 days at different beaches and saw large monkeys in the wild - would not have seen them on a motorcycle! Tata makes a beautifully presented and tasty breakfast each day - all different. Tea and coffee available. I would say due to staff, location and vibe this is the place to stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Jawe and Tata.

Situated in Karimunjawa and only a few steps from Legon Lele Beach, Floating Paradise features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated guest house is located less than 1 km from Kanjen Beach and 2.8 km from Pancuran Beach. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Amazing location & fantastic service☺️Regarding the location, it’s built over the sea, just next to a mangrove area 🌊You can jump into the water from the property and snorkel there. They have goggles and snorkels free of charge. The water was clear even during rainy season. We saw many corals, giant clams and even some clownfish. They have kayaks for free of charge as well. We kayaked to Pantai Kanjen, where you can release baby turtles. In the morning, we saw the beautiful sunrise from our window and could hear the sound of the water below our bed. Regarding the service, the owners (Astrid and Tono) were very helpful even before our arrival. They messaged me and offered help to organize boat tickets, scooter rental and other transportation at very reasonable prices. After arrival, the host called Ben took very good care of us, he was very friendly, helpful and fun to chat with. At night he even showed us the bio-luminescent plankton which were visible from the deck. He definitely went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience! No AC, but it was a comfortable stay with a big ceiling fan. No hot shower, but it was not a big issue for us. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay. Definitely wanna come back!

This guest house offers free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Tugu Monument is 42 km away and Malioboro Mall is 42 km from the guest house. The hostel ia very close to the temple entrance, the reception guy is very nice and can provide info, facilities are great too (wifi, lockers, curtains for the beds, cleanliness, air con). Also, free cold water and coffee in the morning. It's a pity very little people come to spend a night in Borobudur. It's a very cute town and you can have nice walks in the rice fields just behind the temple or going towards the Chicken Church.
