Ijen Backpacker Hostel - Banyuwangi (East Java)

Great location, walking distance to the harbor and train station. Friendly and helpful staff, made sure I had a comfortable stay. Clean rooms and bathrooms, with working AC. Affordable prices and delicious breakfast. Will definitely recommend to friends and visit again in the future.

I had the most amazing stay at this hostel! the location is perfect, just a few steps away from the train station and only 5 minutes from the ferry pier. the surrounding area is filled with delicious street food stalls, making it easy to grab a quick bite. the atmosphere at the hostel is very family-like, and the hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. They even organized a fantastic tour to Kawah Ijen, which included a delicious breakfast upon our return. the dorms are comfortable and quiet, with only 4 of them available. the bathroom is also kept clean. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Couldn't stay longer 😔.

The sense of security, cleanliness, facilities and caring caretakers make for a perfect stay. The breakfast included is yummy and convenient. The hosts are the kindest couple, offering helpful services and tour bookings. Location is ideal, close to the harbor and train station.

Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

We had an amazing stay at this hostel. the staff, especially Pak Agus and Ibu Aini, were genuinely kind and accommodating. They made sure I was comfortable and even gave me a room to myself when the dorm was cluttered. the location is perfect, just a short walk from Ketapang Harbor and train station. the rooms were clean, the AC worked well, and the beds were comfortable. the hosts also helped with transportation and tour planning, offering a good price. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Bali. Thank you for the great service, Pak Agus and Ibu Aini!

Everything was fantastic! 😊.

The location of the hotel is convenient, being near the train and bus stations, as well as the ferry to Bali. the breakfast is delicious and there is a tasty vegetarian buffet nearby.

The hotel is located outside of town, so there are not many options for restaurants in the surrounding area.

had a great stay in banyuwangi! ijen backpacker exceeded expectations with their friendly owners, comfy rooms, and delicious breakfast. felt like part of the family. they even helped book the ijen tour! can't wait to come back.

Shower had no hot water.

Lovely owners, separate rooms for female dorms, free water. Perfect location for Ijen, Bali ferry, and train station.

Ijen Backpacker was definitely worth the money. The room was clean, nicely decorated, and the bed was super comfortable. The location was convenient, close to the ferry and train station. The staff treated me with kindness and helped organize my tour to Ijen Mount. Thanks Ijen backpackers!

Breakfast offerings could be improved, maybe by adding more variety or options.

The room was clean and the aircon was brand new. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the train station and ferry. The staff was kind and helpful throughout my entire stay.

The breakfast could have been better, perhaps more variety would have been nice.

Convenient location near train station and ferry pier. Comfortable and quiet dorms with clean bathroom. Friendly and helpful owners. Delicious breakfast after Kawah Ijen tour.

the staff were friendly and provided helpful information about traveling to Bali. They even recommended Ferizy. com as the best and cheapest place to get ferry tickets. the hostel had clean rooms, comfortable beds, and nice bathrooms. They also provided free water and towels. the location was convenient, as it was close to both the train station and ferry port. it was a great experience and I highly recommend it. Cons: Nothing but good 👍.

I recently stayed at Ijen Backpacker for my trip to climb Mt Ijen. The hosts were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They helped arrange my Ijen tour and even took me to local places to eat. The hostel itself had clean and comfortable dorm rooms, free coffee and tea all day, and a delicious included breakfast. It was also conveniently located near the ferry and train stations. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting the area.

Would definitely recommend this hotel.
