Super simple accomodation. We only stayed here before doing Ijen but there was AC that worked very well and running water. It is also incredibly afforable and the workers are very nice! Free water refill as well. Follow me on Instagram & Tiktok @axisvr for more travel recs!

The ReVive by Snooze hostel is very clean and well maintained. It has a clean kitchen that you can use at any time. I've never been to a hostel with such helpful staff. They helped us book the tour to Ijen, booked us a bus to Malang and supported us at any time with any questions. All the employees were always in a good mood and asked about our well-being.

We had a great stay at Snooze Ijen. The hostel is a beautiful house with garden. Our private room was spacious and had a private bathroom as well. Late check in was also possible which was very convenient for us. They are amazingly well organized and provide tons of information about restaurants, day trips and transportation to Bali e.g. We booked an Ijen tour through them which was amazing. Would definitely come back!

This is a fantastic hostel. The location is great, very close to a train station and some eateries. The staff is super nice and helpful. Everything is perfectly clean. The design is interesting and thought-out. They also organise trips to Bromo, Ijen, Tempak Sewu etc. We took the Bromo sunrise one, and it went very smoothly, the driver was really great (which is important for this kind of trips). Do not hesitate to book a private room here.

Never thought I'd be saying this about a hostel but I kinda didn't want to check out? The common area has this really relaxed energy, met some cool people there, and the location is lowkey perfect for exploring the area. Breakfast was simple but actually good, not just toast and sadness lol. Staff helped me sort my Ijen crater hike last minute too. Banyuwangi is slept on and this place is a big reason why. Already recommending it to everyone.

Best value for money in the city. It’s a bit basic, but it has everything you need: hot showers, a decent kitchen, and friendly staff who give the best local recommendations.

The overall property was amazing and they are very clean and organized. The staff ensures the guests are at their comfort and they provide assistance at every instance we request anything for. Overall one of the best hostels I have stayed at and I would recommend this place as a goto place without any hesitation.

The best hostel I ve ever stay! Hostel run by amazing family. Warm welcoming even tho I arrived almost at 4AM, the owner welcome me with smile, answer to all questions, help with finding things to do around, scooter, coffee, laundry, just everything. Delicious food. Lovely family make this place special. I book with them also tour to the waterfall, Bromo and Ijen and got breakfast to go, and lunch when I come back 🥰 Thank you!

Perfectly located for visiting Malang (close to train station and points of interest). The people there are so nice and helpful (we got some coffee and fruits and long conversations 😃). Good cheap tours organized by Jon. Beds are confortable. They said i could keep my bed and have a nap until midnight (before Bromo) without paying the night. One large dormitory, but though it is on a passing road, i could sleep well (no noise issues). Decoration of common room is nice.

I loved this hostel so much, it has a really chill vibe and a good base if you want to explore the Tumpak Sewu waterfall or Bromo + Ijen. The staff can tell you all about it, they're the best hostel staff I've met so far in Indonesia! 😊

The host is so friendly and helpful! Nice and clean bunkbeds, really comfy! The tour to the Ijen, which you can book directly at the hostel is so cheap and well organized. Location directly at the trainstation and the port. Also the host organized a cheap busride to bromo for us :) Try the breakfast, it is really good! Would totally recommend!

Beautiful scenery. The hostel feels so clean and the beds are comfy. The room is quiet and the owner is so helpful to organise trips for us, to Bromo and Ijen much cheaper than we could have found ourselves. We even had free tea when we arrived. I wish we had more time to stay longer - beautiful area. Thank you!
