Gorgeous serene location, really nice hut and the owners were very friendly and cooked delicious pancakes for breakfast. Definitely recommend!

🎶 The huts are open to the sounds of the surrounding world. You’ll drift off to the soothing rhythm of nature, but keep in mind, you might also hear the nearby mosque in the evenings and at night, though light sleepers might want to pack earplugs to enjoy uninterrupted rest.

🌾 Wonderful stay surrounded by nature This charming place sits right next to a rice field, and you sleep in a cozy bamboo hut by the water (including hammock), pure serenity. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, offering daily tips on what to explore in the area. He's fairly priced, and impressively flexible with your plans. 🍳 The breakfast is delicious and available any time of day, which is such a treat. Upon arrival, we found bottled water waiting in the room, along with clean towels. You can also conveniently rent a scooter directly through the owner, super handy for getting around. 🛵 Parangderan is absolutely worth the trip. The surroundings are vibrant and full of character, a truly enjoyable experience!

Amazing host who is trying to help you in the best way he can. The dinner made by his wife was absolutely amazing, one of our best food we had in Indonesia so far. He tries to make your stay as comfortable as possible and no questions are too much. They are always ready to help you with booking tours, train tickets, guiding you around and informing you about general Indonesian things. Totally recommend this stay and we are looking forward to stay there in the future again!

Relaxing laid back experience but not for everyone. No hot showers or fancy amenities.

Lovely place. We booked 1 night but stayed for another 3. If you look for a secluded place to rest while you stay in Java - that's the one. Super nice host - helpful and easy-going, amazing breakfasts, drinking water available in your room.

Be wary of the preacher who thinks it’s a good idea to start talking at 4 in the morning. You need good ear protection.

Bale Ku, is a great place to stay. Lisa and Sutar, are wonderful hosts, are incredibly welcoming and incredibly helpful. With hits over the water and great views, you’ll love staying at Bale Ku. Breakfast and dinner were provided and both were fresh and delicious. My hosts, helped me with my taxi and helped me with my tour of green canyon. Highly recommend!

A bit noisy mosques in the neighbourhood but that is not unusual in Java.. No warm water but this is for me not a real necessity.

Beautiful location amidst the rice paddies..very tasty food. Very helpful staff and owners speak English. Good wifi.

A bit far off the centre but again staff helps you to get anywhere you need

Very beautiful place to stay and relax. The staff is very friendly and helps you with any request you have. Slept so well because it is quiet and there is a nice breeze at night.

Some piece of soap and gel should be good to put in the bathroom.

Before you book have to know what is hotel and what is homestay - bamboo hut. And then all will be good. We liked our stay with family, nice people. Tasty breakfast cooked by Lis, we ordered few times also dinner. And cheap. Green canyon tour organised by Sutar was exciting. Beautiful nature around, pond with waterlilies.

There is nothing I didn't like.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the huts are beautiful and very comfortable. The owners are amazing and organised a tour to the green canyon, which was out of this world. The food and service was also fantastic, I really didn't want to leave.

Wonderful, warm welcome and beautiful setting. The food is marvellous! The common area has lovely views o we the rice paddies and sits above a pond full of lilies. We had a lovely stay, with the owners being helpful and relaxed. A thoroughly charming place.
