Bromo Homestays

"We arrived there when it was already dark and had booked Yog Bromo Homestay already online before, which was handy that we didn't have to look for a place in the dark. We had booked a 8bed apartment. It was very simple but for a short stay there sufficient. We did not get a key for the apartment but there was only a lock for each room - which was ok. The beds were comfortable and the blankets were quite warm. Shower was warm, too, which was a nice surprise. However the fuse dropped out when we used the hair dryer, so better do not wash your hair there. We had to flush the toilet by rise with a bucket of water. You see, all very simple but manageable for one night. Got up at 2.30 to start walking to the viewpoint at 3am. Great location, right next to the road we had to walk. Also great for walk to Mt. Bromo, what we did after breakfast. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel Cemara Indah, right next door, where we also borrowed warm jackets and got free wifi. Some of us also got free wifi at Yog Bromo homestay. This depends probably on your phone. When we left, the guy from the Homestay organised us a minibus - the bus stop is also only a few metres away - and negotiated the price for us. Once in a lifetime experience and Yog Bromo Homestay is a great place to stay in when visiting Mt. Bromo. "

"The minivan from Probolinggo drop us straight in front of this hotel. So convenient. Very near to restaurant, shops. Not far from Mount Bromo entrance. Shared bathroom and toilet (squat toilet). Got hot shower (damn hot! cannot control temperature). Room is clean and spacious. The bed is big. Although close to the main road but it's not too noisy. Very nice place. Super cheap."

"I stayed there for only one night with 2 friends to do the sunrise of Mt Penajakan and the crater of Mt Bromo. We had pick up from Surabaya airport. The lady of the homestay arranged the trip so that we can have a Jeep to pick us up and do the tour. We had a really pleasant time at the homestay, food was really really nice (for small extra fee) and the view from the terrace is quite impressive. The lady was very comfortable and very kind, she showed us the little farms around. The homestay is on the mountain so there's really nothing around but it's a great reason to just relax and enjoy the nature. Definitely recommend this place for the location, the price and the friendly welcoming !"
