Sahar Backpacker

Hosts were wonderful and provided lots of help and information about the area (even leading us to a few of their favourite places). They taught us how to make a traditional Indonesian meal and we ended up spending lots of time together learning about each other cultures. Hostel was clean and capsule beds provide a lot of privacy. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want to be slightly out of the city and learn more about life in Indonesia.

Staff were fantastic in helping us organise a trip to mount bromo at very short notice for an incredibly competitive price. Driver was professional, took great photos and took us to waterfalls on way back. However, we were expecting a four bed room with an en-suite, unfortunately the ‘bathroom’ was unfit for use, and was a large basin and drain in the floor, it didn’t seem clean. The capsules were comfortable but claustrophobic, they also contained fish tanks which felt a little odd/ noisy

Great hostel. Next to so many waterfalls. Cool rooftop for hanging out and meeting other travelers!
