It’s a little bit overpriced (driver / food + 10 % tax are added at the end of the stay without information in advance) in comparison to other properties at the island. Probably, you pay the extra for the amazing view.

Location is amazing. It’s in the middle of nature / paradise. As there are only (🙏🏻) three rooms available, it’s super calm and the best place for relaxation!

We absolutely loved our stay at Floating Paradise. The beautiful rooms are directly on the water in a small bay with mangroves all around. Perfect for those who look for a relaxing yet adventurous stay in Karimunjawa. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Several activities as well as lunch and dinner can be booked directly at the accommodation. Rooms run on solar power and the road is unlit at night but this is part of the experience.

I would add the possibility to have a worm shower but still everything was absolutely great

We are a family of three staying with Floating Paradise for 4 days. It's been an incredible experience! If you are looking for an off-the-beaten-track and relaxing stay, this is you destination. The owners Tono and Astrid are going out of their way to accommodate you and so will the kind staff. Upon arriving, we received an upgrade to the newly built family room, which features two separate rooms within the bungalow. Kayaking is free and great fun to explore the nearby mangroves, the small island ahead and Bobby Beach on the other side of the laguna. Snorkeling is fantastic here, as the coral reef can be found literally outside the bungalows. On the second day, we went on a boat trip to other islands, where we snorkelled at multiple gorgeous locations and ate lunch on a pristine and remote island - it was such an amazing day! The third day, Astrid took us onto a fun hike which rewarded us with breathtaking views over the island, ending at Bukit Love viewpoint. We also took advantage of Astrid being a certified Yoga teacher, having yoga lessons right by the dock as the sun set over the laguna - you really can't beat this setting. Our final day marked the end of Ramadan, so the entire family went out of their way and took us to town for a fun parade organized by the island community. A truly memorable experience! Thanks a bunch for your hospitality, we are leaving the island refreshed and with much love in our hearts.

If I could give 1000🌟for this place I would. We spent here five amazing days. Beautiful bungalows with a balcony and view of the ocean where you can relax more than you can imagine. There is also a small chill zone where you can sit on a very comfortable pillow bags 😎 You can use their kayaks for free and go explore the beaches and corals around! Highly recommend it do it. You can also ask Tono (owner or the staff) to rent a scooter with you can go around the Island and explore it's beauty. You can eat here upon request or go to the town for nigh fish market as well. The staff Rama the cat Cora (she is part of the team) and especially Tono is an amazing people. We had a very nice long conversation with him in the late afternoons. Please note this place is for people who like to be on a remote and quiet place away from the people (no shops, no bar, etc.). The town is 15 min away by scooter so take it into consideration when booking this place. Be aware!!!!!!!! The more you stay the more you just do not want to leave... ❤️

The location is amazing, you’re surrounded by sea and nature and have the most amazing view. Tono and Rama are amazing hosts. We had a great breakfast every morning, they arranged a scooter and a boattrip for us and they were great to have around. The rooms are simple but very beautifull, we also got the chance to switch rooms so we had the full experience. Thanks again Tono!

I would have preferred to know before that the place wasn't provided with hot water, wich would it be pleasant after a long day by the beach, but going to floating paradise and Karimunjawa means also going away from all our comfort, and Tono provides also wifi connection and electricity throughout all the day so it's something you can go on.

The place was amazing, in the middle of the nature, you feel truly connected with it. Exiting the room in the night to take a hot cup of tea, surrounded by the sound of the sea is an incredible and relaxing sensation. Here you truly see aparted from the rest of the chaotic world, as waking up by the calming waves crashing right under your bed. Tono was also very friendly to help us organize all our tours, as well as providing a very good meal when asked (even if our request was late).

The hotel is located in an unbeatable setting. You feel in perfect harmony with nature. Tono is a wonderful person, he helped us in every possible way and made our stay unforgettable. One of the best people we have met in Indonesia. If you plan to visit Karimunjawa, Floating Paradise is the best place to stay.

The owner (Tono) is super kind but careful, he's not your friend, but a businessman (i.e. He tried to sell us an island-hoping tour with and extra 40% surcharge, he added one extra day for the motorbike rent in the bill, he added a 50% surcharge of the official price of thee slow ferry.

Super nice views and amazing experience.

Where do we even start? Tono and Rama are amazing. They helped us with nearly everything on our vacation. Transportation, activities, scooter rental (sorry guys), food... It's just the small details, that make this place feel more and more like home. Floating Paradise is such an amazing place, we couldn't think of a better stay in Karimunjawa. Thank you soo much, we would love to come back again :))

everything was perfect

It truly was a floating Paradise! We loved every single minute of it. Nothing around you, cannot get more relaxing, crystal clear water, fish & coral reef as part of your view. The sound of the water under your feet … it was my husband’s birthday and I wanted something special for him, this was an amazing experience for both. Extremely clean, Bathroom was beautiful and comfortable! The host went far and beyond to help us short notice on the return ticket for the ferry, we will be always thankful for that 🙏.

VERY NICE BEST HOST!

Despite the price, don't expect a luxury. We didn't and prefered the simplicity, but some might get a false impression beforehand. Also during heavy rain there was a leakage through the roof in some places, including above the bed. Some people might also find the road there very difficult - the last part gets muddy or/and very narrow, it is just path not a road, nothing for beginners on motorbike. If you decide to have your dinners there, it is quiet pricey, but on the other hand, they have to transport everything there. For anything else you just have to take the road to the village.

It is located in a calm bay, where you can see (and swim in) bioluminiscent plankton some nights, which is wonderful. Also corals all around. It is quite remote, which we like. There are only two bungalows for rent (the other one was empty during our stay), so there is privacy and silence. The owner with his family lives in the third bungalow, where is also common (dining) area with wifi and water refill tank (and coffee for free, unfortunately not very good). We decided for two dinners there and it was tasty and plentiful. The bungalow is very simple, but nice, just a bed with mosquito net - real neccessity here and a fan on the ceiling. The owner arranged a privat boat trip for us, with awsome snorkeling and a visit to coral reef restoration facility on Sambangan island. Part of the the cost goes to this cause. There are basic kayaks to borrow and go explore nearby beaches (unfortunately expect lots of trash there), they also arrange a motorbike for you - also a neccessity to be able ever get out of there :) We didn't ask for helmets specifically so we didn't get any, so bear that in mind. Also to get (out of) there expect to pay fixed price of 150k for taxi.

we loved everything

we loved our stay at Floating Paradise, it is the most beautiful place and we injoyed the peace and quiet. Tono and Astrid are the most relaxed and lovely people you can imagine. And we can highly recommend the boattrip, that Tono arranged for us. And if you are as lucky as us, you might get to swim with glowing plancton as we did at Floating paradise.

Stayed in October 2022

Floating Paradis is truly paradise on earth. Never before have we slept on the water and been so close to nature. You should stay more than two days or you will regret it. Tono and Astrid supported us in everything and organized so many great tours. You can easily go from there to other islands, hiking or kayaking. The food was always great and the whole family is so welcoming. We are sad to leave this place. Thank you for everything <3 love Mini and Henrik

The road in and out is a bit tough if you're not used to a scooter. Means exploring the rest of the island is difficult. But there's plenty of reasons to just stay put at paradise.

Snorkeling right in front of the villa. Tono and his wife are both super laid back but also really helpful. Breakfast was delicious and the cat is very cute.

We totally loved our stay at floating. Of course, there are some mosquitos BUT: It is the most beautiful and relaxing place you will find. you can really chill and enjoy the ocean, you can snorkle and swim with the fish, watch beautiful corals or take the kanu to nearby beaches. everyone at floating was very nice and caring, the food was great and also there is a cat! what more do you want? :-) If you love nature and slow life, this is your place. If we come again to Karimun, we definitely will stay at floating paradise again
