Backpacker Kawah Ijen

I dont understand why this place gets good reviews...im 100% sure theres many many better choices in Banyuwangi. I guess they are used to foreign travellers who stayed in bad places all over Indonesia and who dont complain about anything. They dont put any effort anymoore. Yes, the owner is helpful, they kept our backpack there for a week while we toured the beaches, thank you for that. But having noisy locals sitting up all night just outside the rooms where the tired tourists are trying to sleep is not okey. Smoking cigarettes and allowing all the smoke to go inside the rooms, allowing them to talk loud all night so people cannot sleep - ITS NOT OKEY AT ALL. The rooms are dark and without any windows at all, so they smell old and mold. No mosquito nets and tons of mosquitos. Dirty, bad smelling bathrooms. Not a good deal at all. Stay somewhere else.
