Situated in Jepara, 2.1 km from Bandengan Beach, Garden House Jepara offers accommodation with a fitness room. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Misnawati & Petteri are great hosts.

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. We had a wonderful stay! The hosts speak perfect English and are incredibly kind and helpful — always available to guide us and offer great suggestions. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and we slept amazingly well. This is quite rare in Karimunjawa, where nighttime can be noisy due to prayer speakers — here, instead, we found true peace and quiet. We had originally planned to stay only three nights before moving elsewhere, but if we could go back, we’d definitely spend our whole time at Loyal Friend. It truly felt like home. The location is excellent: just a short distance from both the center and the harbor. We also rented a scooter at a very fair price — it was in great condition and gave us no issues at all. This is a special place that we’ll always carry in our hearts, and we recommend it wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

Set within 1.6 km of Borobudur Temple and 40 km of Yogyakarta Tugu Train Station, Bhumi Kasuryan Borobudur offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Borobudur. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. My stay has been short but beyond perfect. They also sell cheap dinners, which is a must try. If available, try to get the room(or whatever this small building is called) with a ‘mountain view’. Can see a lot of stars in the night and breathe fresh air. Staff has been very nice and helpful. Breakfasts are wonderful.

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!
