Reviews of Nitha Homestay

We enjoyed so much our stay at Banyuwangi thanks to our host, Agus, whom facilited everything for us. Thanks to him, we had the best guide we could hope for to hike up the Kawah Ijen and he managed every part of the trip organisation (medical certificate, going to and from the base camp, supplies as headlamp, gazmask, food and water) and even rent him a scooter to explore Banyuwangi. The room was very clean, comfortable and calm and very well situated juste in front of the trainstation. Moreover Agus really cared about us having a great time. Overall, staying at this hostel was a great value for the money we spend and an incredible human experience. Thank you so much Agus !

Not staying longer !

Right in front of the main station. Absolutely great for the price you pay.

Very humid in the room.

convenient location - Right in front of train station, with restaurant. Hostel' owner offers Ijen tours with very clear details. Suitable for short rest before trekking Ijen.

The rooms smelt moldy like long closed rooms.

Lovely staff, room and bathroom was spacious. Right opposite the train station and a few cheap local restaurants around!

Close to the train station

Far away from the ferry

Quiet and comfortable. There is no signage at the property. Google maps will indicate to you the wrong location. Just head towards the shop for about 50metres and the property is at the row of shops opposite the train station.

No hot water.

I only spent one night at Nitha's homestay and I did the overnight trekking to Ijen, so I did not really sleep at the facility. However I can confirm that Agus and his wife are lovely and very kind. The room was basic but clean and comfortable, just what you would expect from a classic homestay. Agus helped me book the trekking to Ijen and he was very lovely when I had an unpleasant experience with the tour guide.

Location was so ideal, attached was a really affordable local restaurant, opposite was the train station which had an Alfamart in it! Everyone was really friendly and helpful - highly recommend if you’re on a budget! Also the bike we rented from them was really good quality.

We chose the room with just a fan so it was a bit hot but was as we expected and definitely good for the price we payed

- Very convenient location- next to the train station with some restaurants/shops within walking distance - Room was clean, with basic facilities but fine for 1 night - Easy to book tour through accommodation (it is priced at 450K PP) - The staff bought us breakfast after our tour which was very kind and appreciated

- The room had no AC (which is fine) but the fan didn’t work very well so it was very hot in the room - The bed was quite uncomfortable and we found the sheets quite itchy (though maybe we are just being fussy)

Absolutely superb Homestay run by a wonderful family, the owners Agus and his wife were great hosts and helped us to arrange our Ijen trip. The Homestay itself is great value and directly opposite the brand new Banyuwangi kota station which was really convenient, the tour of Ijen was one of the most amazing experiences of our whole trip and was really reasonably priced. Agus was exceptionally kind and attentive and really made us feel at home, we had ice tea when we arrived and tea and fruit when we returned from Ijen. The food at the family’s restaurant was really tasty and very affordable. If you’re visiting Banyuwangi I would absolutely stay here it was more than we could have hoped for from start to finish. Thank you for the wonderful experience !

just one step from the station gate, the atmosphere is quiet even though it is close to the train station. the room is clean. The owner is friendly and you can rent a motorbike and they even provide trip package services to several tourist destinations in Banyuwangi.

There are no amenities except towels and blanket. Also no drinking water on your room table unless you ask for a refill of drinking water at the reception desk, so prepare your tumbler.

This place was very nice and clean. It was exactly next to the train station what we wanted. The owner was very nice, we went to Ijen with Tour through him and it was amazing. You can rent a motor bike as well. Close to this accomodation is the option of local food.

Very warm welcome by the friendliest hosts. The room was clean and spacious. Location is perfect next to the station of Banyuwangi Kota. We booked a trip to Ijen here and that was exactly as described.

We were received by Agus' family very warmly, they are all very service minded and friendly. Agus was a great host who speaks great English, he organized a midnight tour for us on a short notice. The location is convenient if you need to take the train, the Kota station is just a minute away. There are plenty of local small shops and warungs along the road we're you can get a meal or snacks and drinks. The room was quite big, the bed was alright. We had to ask for a bigger blanket which Agus kindly provided. Also, the shower does have hot water, just the red and blue markings are turned around.

Train horns can be heard from 5 am to late in the evening, so bring earplugs. It gets light in the room in the morning and an eye mask is also nice to have.

The room was clean and comfy

The WiFi was on and off at times

Its right in front of the new Banyuwangi Kota Railway station! It has a food stall with nice food. Fresh cumi, tender steak bsst valie for money.

I was there to have a rest after a whole night in the inconfortable train. The hotel is just near the train station. This was perfect to me. The bed was confortable.
