Reviews of Ecobromo

Amazing staff, beautiful set up. Such a beautiful location. Thank you Tessa

Food was a bit oily. Wish there were more dishes with fruit and vegetables.

The staff was very friendly and always keen to help. They arrange the tour to Bromo for us and our guide Tessa was super nice all the time. Plus the serve great coffee in the hotel

The bathroom could be better

Nice location to visit Bromo and to arrange a trip to the vulcano, there is a restaurant with nice food, friendly staff, nice seating area

Quite noisy (loud music until late even though a lot of people go there to wake up very early to go to Bromo), could have been cleaner

- nice location to go to Bromo - nice terrace where you can eat and drink

- the room was really not cleaned properly, with a lot of hair from others in the bathroom and sink - even the relatively low price, i would still want a clean room which was not the case We decided to leave the stay after 1 night even while we booked for another one - as the hygiene was really terrible

The outdoor spaces were very nice with amazing views when the fog/clouds lifted. The area is very interesting and a shott walk to the nearby village gives you a sense of how folks live around here. The staff arranged taxi pickup from the train and drop-off in Malang, as well as a very good value 4x4 tour of the caldera.

The rooms were pretty basic and with no heat, the thin blankets were not really enough to keep us from getting a bit cold. Also, they show pictures of a bar with wine and spirits on their bookings listing.. These are just leftover bottles from past guests that they strangely display, even though they do not serve any alcohol. This is not unusual in Java, but the photos definitely give the wrong impression about it.

Perfect place..nice and helping staff...last but not least affordable

Owner of this homestay really helpful! Responsive. Bromo trip arranged by the owner also the best. The jeep’s drivers took care all of us really well. Cafe also served delicious food. Really recommended!

Pros: This accommodation was located in a beautiful place in lush green hills close to Bromo. (That's why I choose it) The bed was comfy and sheets were clean. The owner also owns the cafe upstairs which is convenient for eating and drinking good coffee and fresh fish!

Cons: In this accommodation there were many hidden costs: if you travel like us, this is a little bit of the things that I would recommend to have into consideration. We came by train to the station of Pasuruan (which is the 'closest' to the accommodation) closest meaning: 1 hour by car from train station to accommodation. We took a Grab which it cost around 400 rp because the taxi driver doesn't go uphill for less. Then, the owner doesn't speak any word of English, which made booking the tour to Bromo and other transactions so much harder. Also I am pretty sure, he is not a people person, but whatever that's just my interpretation. The tour to Bromo that they provide, isn't a real tour, it's a transportation to Bromo's viewpoint and Bromo's crater and back to the accommodation. (No tour guide) that was 500 jeep + 220 per person for 'entrance' which is a total rip-off for white tourists, but whatever, we paid it, we wanted to see Bromo. The room wasn't cosy, it might look as such in the pictures but it is SO humid and cold. Also, NO HOT SHOWER (it's mountain temperature, so it's already cold outside), no toilet paper and towels were ridiculously small. The coffee upstairs shares the ground with the rooms celling,with no proper isolation, makes it very noise and unpleasant to have a nap. (Believe me, after waking up at 3am for Bromo, you will want to have a nap) And of course, we are continuing our trip, so we needed a taxi back to the train station which was another 500. A total rip-off experience almost 100€ spent in something so much cheaper. All and all, we wanted to leave as soon as possible, not coming back to this one. Definitely, there are better options for your Bromo adventure, keep looking.

Amazing stay! We loved the food and the vibe at the restaurant! The staff is very friendly and nice and arranged for us a great tour. We rented a motorbike to go around the area and it was amazing. Definitely recommended for a relaxing stay.

It was a bit cold at night, but we asked for an extra blanket and we slept well ;)

Owner really helpful in sorting our tours and transfers. Rooms attached to a really nice cafe/restaurant with great view.

Super helpful staff and fantastic location for what we had planned for. Makes a very nice hot chocolate after a long day full of adventures.

Maybe it would be helpful to have some pictures next to food menu to help us understand what we could eat. We struggled a little bit to decide/know what was suitable for each meal time.

I spent one day here just to visit Bromo. I don't think this place is suitable for backpackers or tourists. They arranged my jeep to Bromo but it was overprized, as well as my car back to Surabaya. Also, communication was very hard since the staff don't really speak English. The room is nice and the bed is comfortable but the whole place is very loud. They make parties, so this is not a quiet place. They have a café upstairs and the rooms are right underneath it. Since there is no isolation whatsoever, you hear everybody walking and talking as if they were in your room. It is quite sad that the organization and the atmosphere they create are not good (especially for backpackers or tourists) because the place is actually really beautiful.

Location near to bromo so no need to rush for bromo trip.got onok cafe which provide delicious food that i love most.Good environment,a lot of flowers.
