This was honestly such a refreshing stay. The accomodation is incredibly curated. The rooms were clean, comfortable and private. We enjoyed the home cooked meals and fresh fruit made by the amazing staff! Who were all very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The homestay is right next to the beach, for which we were blessed with a few great days of weather. Overall, our stay was extremely relaxing and pleasant. And we’d recommend anyone to give this spot a chance! Once again, thank you to all the staff that made for such a beautiful time!

We immediately felt welcome at Hadis Lodge. He and all this staff always cared for us and made this stay special. The room was clean with big outdoor bathroom (hot shower) and balcony. It’s also right next to the beautiful beach where you can enjoy your time almost all by yourself. Would definitely recommend it.

It’s a wonderful place, Hadi & the staff are such nice people! We had a relaxing time at Java Turtle Lodge. The accommodation is super clean, stylish & well taken care of. The bathroom is amazing!

The fact, that Mr. Hadi, the owner not only learned English very well and built this property from nothing but has realized how tourism can change his and the community's life. Converting from fishing into tourism is not easy. The location is perfect to be away from the noise, pollution and massive tourism. You can also reach the jungle and the real turtle conservation center by 4*4 which is again organised by Mr. Hadi. Rooms very clean, shower is lovely. He picked us up at our accomodation close to Iljen and dropped to the train station on our leave. He booked train tickets for us. He and his family did everything, so we can feel good.

Lovely unique spot in the south of East Java. We immediately felt homey and welcome. The staff was super friendly and helpful. This is a very special place you shouldnt miss on your trip to Java. Recommend to take a scooter and drive there yourself. After leaving Banyuwangi, the ride is beautiful!

Java Turtle lodge was an amazing place! First of all it is a beautiful environment and they made a beautiful and zen garden with nice, comfortable and clean lodges. Perfect for relaxing. Hadi and his family/staff we’re so welcoming and friendly! They showed us nice places to go and they were always available and patient to sit down with us and answer our questions. We did the 2 day tour to sukamade beach and it was the highlight of Indonesia for us. Don’t expect luxury on this tour but the experience was phenomenal!! We went with Hadi’s daughter Angel as our guide and she was the best! She always gave us a lot of energy and positive vibes!! Hadi’s wife served great food every day and we are glad that we booked more nights than we were planning to! If you like nature, easy adventure, the real side of Indonesia and good hospitality this is definitely a place to visit. Thank you so much for this great time!

Very well-run lodge with lovely home cooked food and nice bungalows. We even got a free upgrade. We were very happy with the cleanliness and the overall design of the lodge. We stayed for three nights including one night at Sukamade basic guest house to see the (baby) turtles. The host organized the trip for us which made it much cheaper compared to other distributors. The lodge has a number of scooters which you can use for free to go to the beaches. Laundry service was good and cheap, but swallowed some socks. They also provide a room for changing and a shower if you have to stay there after check-out.
