INDIGO Motel, hotel in Karimunjawa

INDIGO Motel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Karimunjawa. Among the facilities at this property are room service and an ATM, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

My stay in Indigo exceeded all my expectations. Little hostel in one of the best locations of the island (so near to the harbour, between the village and beautiful beaches reachable by walk). Indigo is full of beautiful humans and artists (you will be surprised by amazing singers everyday) and it becomes the soul of Karimunjawa after sunset where many locals also come to hang out. I have been in Indigo during Christmas and they make us feel like home sharing so many dinners and interesting hilarious talks conversations. It was even hard some days to leave Indigo to explore the island! They also make your life easier because you can arrange activities (snorkeling trip, renting snorkeling mask, etc) with them and transport from jepara as well! So recommendable! Tarima kasiih!

Al Kabron Inn, hotel in Karimunjawa

Boasting a garden, terrace and free WiFi, Al Kabron Inn is situated in Karimunjawa, 1.6 km from Nirwana Beach and 1.8 km from Pancuran Beach.

We liked the location because it’s very central and close to shops and restaurants. We didn’t mind the music playing from the bar across the street until 22:30 but if you do, we recommend earplugs (also for the prayers). Very friendly staff.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The rooms were clean and in a great location from the harbor! The host is a stand up guy, we had a great time and he is helping you with whatever he can! From booking trips to helping us figure out which boat to get and getting us a scooter! Really enjoyed our stay with them and would definitely go back there when visiting Karimunjawa!

    This hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever been. It‘s so cozy with all the different possibilities for seating places, plants, free coffee/tea/ water. There‘s also an amazing breakfast (selfmade bread with bruschetta and omlette 10/10) and the hostel stuff (thanks again to john, anned and eka) is the best! They do everything to make your stay comfortable and that the hostel becomes a second home. Extended my stay to 5 nights and still sad that I had to leave then. Will definitely come back!
