Brekkie was not included but he gave us a lovely free breakfast—dragonfruit,a sandwich and proper coffee.The whole thing was amazing value and less than 2 mins to the ferry. And the minibus stop is 1 minute away.All so convenient.

Very Close to the boat for Karimunjawa

It can get noisy as you are by the port, but the location is very convenient, so we were ok with that.

Amazing location if you are taking the ferry to Karimunjawa. Ardian was extremely nice, and went the extra mile to help us, he got us dragon fruits for breakfast let us use one for his motorbikes for free so that we can can go to a restaurant for dinner and arranged the transport to Yogyakarta on our way back to the islands! The room is basic with shared bathroom but very clean and for the money you pay you can't expect anything more. I would recommend.

Breakfast!

Karimunjawa!! Very few have heard of these small islands off the North coast of Java, an archipelago of 27 islands, most of them in a marine reserve. The main island is reached in 2 hours by a speed boat, from the quaint port of Jepara. Stunning is not describing the islands, jaw droppingly perfect scenery, white beaches, emerald turquoise waters, picture perfect handcrafted wooden jetties, snorkel waters so clear to see the stunning corals, multicoloured fish, a truly magical experience. The Mangrove Park, a 2km trekking is in a remarkable setting, stop for grilled fish, under the call of prayer, and run for cover from the thunderstorms. A scooter gives you the opportunity to visit this verdant island of lush vistas and mountains, small business like cashew roasters, or side road café, perfect examples of why you should sometimes leave the crowds behind, and go off on an adventure beyond the bounds of crowded beaches. It should not be a surprise that Indonesia holds some secrets in its islands, after all there are over 17,000 of them! The island of Karimunjawa is, for now, a proper hidden gem, crystal clear waters, vivid rainbow coloured coral reefs, and the picture perfect postcard Eco Casa Resort, a small island life feel, the secret is out!

People were loudly talking outside my window at 5am which woke me up. But other than that it was great.

The room had a very cosy feel to it and made me feel quite at home. Super close to the port which was very helpful. The owner was very nice and drove me to get some food for dinner.

Nothing I didnt like

Super clean, Ardian & his crew are great and nothing is too much to ask. Toktok even took me to find some fruit after my very late arrival

Excellent value homestay Located right next to the harbour entrance We arrived very late and left first thing the next morning, but the team were able to help book last minute ferry tickets and also woke up early to give us a breakfast before we left at 06:00! Great communication, strong WiFi and air con. 👌

No complaints

Excellent location if you are visiting Karwimunjawa. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped me book my boat tickets and took me to the boat in the morning If you are arriving in Semerang and wanting to get to Jepara, they can arrange a transfer for you too

The mattress of the bed is amazing. The room is really cozy and clean but the highlight of my stay was the staff. I had the chance to meet Fahmi who speak a perfect English and bring you everywhere in the city. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Ardian house provides a perfect launching place for a trip to Karimunjawa. Facilities are basic but exactly as advertised, clean and well maintained. Ardian and his staff are warm and welcoming.

However, the accomodation allowed someone to pull my phone number from my reservation, and he used it to try to introduce himself to me, saying I was beautiful and that he was trying to get to know me. In general, that is a digusting violation of privacy that any accomodation should be incredible embarrassed of, but given that I was there as a female solo traveler made it even more uncomfortable. I tried to resolve it with the accomodation in a nice way, notifying them that this had happened, mostly since the stay was actually quite comfortable so I did not want to leave a bad review. Instead, they lied to me and dismissed my complaint, telling me that my number was simply used to try to help me with transportation. Besides the fact that this was obviously not what my number was used for, I also never requested any help, nor ever even brought up the topic of transportation. Moreover, I had already left so I obviously did not need help with transportation either way. Bad end to an otherwise okay stay.

Honestly, the place was fine when I stayed there. Nothing special, but clean, comfortable, and easy to combine with the ferry, and a good bang for your buck.

I have never had to give a bad review on booking.com…but this property definitely requires it. In case you don’t want to read the long version of our experience with Adrian House, here’s a bullet pointed version of issues we had with this accomodation: 1: They double-booked our room, but only admitted this roughly an hour after we turned up. Before then they refused to tell us what was going on. 2: Despite being promised they were going to move us to a “larger, nicer” accomodation, we had to stay in a room that was infested with lizards, ants and cockroaches 3: We were promised a cooked breakfast for our troubles the following morning. This never happened 4: We were told the incorrect time to arrive for the ferry, meaning we turned up late and had to spend the 6hr journey on the floor. 5: Adrian house still insisted on charging us a commission on our ferry tickets, despite our later accomodation securing the same tickets for 150k less Full description below: Unfortunately, this is where the good elements end. We had booked our stay in Adrian house weeks in advance, and turned up at 7pm having received no prior communication that there was an issue with our booking. When we showed the booking to the person at the counter (who had limited English), we were stonewalled with simply “wait ten minutes” for the next 45 minutes about why we could not enter our room, even when an Indonesian friend spoke to him on the phone. After threatening to go somewhere else, an English-speaking worker called Fahmi from the hotel arrived to tell us that our room had been double-booked and that they were waiting to clear the other family (who they claimed had falsely told the reception they had booked both rooms). After waiting another 20 minutes, Fahmi casually informed us that we would need to move to a different accommodation he assumed was “much larger and nicer” as it turns out the family had legitimately booked both rooms and the accomodation had just double booked us.

Accomodation is located just inside the port terminal. Appears to have a nice communal kitchen area

Great option for taking the ferry to Karimunjawa in the morning, only 1min walk to the pier. I was positively surprised by the quality of the room, it was big, clean, very comfortable bed and AC worked fine. I’m not the kind of tourist who cares for a TV, but it was very nice to have one working as my stop in Jepara was only for rest and taking the ferry in the next morning. There is a common kitchen with hot/cold water, tea and coffee available. The bathroom is shared but very functional and clean. The good restaurants are 5min by grab/gojek. I really liked my stay and totally recommend this place. Great value of money!

There was just one toilet and shower for everyone. And it was occupied a lot of times.. communication of the staff members and owner was terrible. I had to wait for an hour before I got my room, but there was no communication about it. The only communication i got was “boss is not here” and something vague through google translate “room hotel later”. I had no idea whether there was a room available for me. In the end the room was double booked and the owner solved it in favour of me. But the communication about this was horrible. As a solo female traveler who arrived in the evening this was a very unpleasant situation.

Spacious and clean room and good airconditioning. Location is super good, 2 min walk from the port

Unfortunately perhaps the weather and our mood played a part, but the room and bed felt not comfy at all and the red lighting used made it feel dark and dirty in the room. Also, having our room right next to the road and the scooter garage made it impossible to sleep.

super accessible to the port to take the boat the next day and also Ardian is lovely and so welcoming!

Ardian is the best host! He can help you arrange everything, the tickets to Karimunjawa as well! A good place to stay before leaving to this paradise island. The place is in front of the port. Bed was comfortable & there is a mini breakfast with coffee & tea. Definitely recommend!

The shared bathroom wasn’t always clean, but that’s because of certain guests not cleaning up after themselves!

The room was one of the best we’ve had during our Indonesian trip! Comfy, and nicely decorated making it super cozy. Everything was great, and the staff was warm and welcoming! Also very helpful and flexible, so an overall great stay.
