Nobody staying at Rumah Kita has to leave the grounds to join a safari or trek along a hiking trail. This five-room hotel sits high in the mountains of Kalibaru, Indonesia. Local sustainability guides daily life here, with at least eighty percent of food sourced locally and ten percent of revenue returned to community projects.
Reaching the hotel involves a 45-kilometer drive from Banyuwangi International Airport, with a paid 24-hour shuttle handling transfers. Excursions to Meru Betiri National Park and Ijen Crater sit within driving distance, while Kendeng Lembu Plantation is 9.6 miles (15.4 kilometers) away. For closer destinations like Al-Barokah Mosque, 2.2 kilometers away, the property provides a free area shuttle.
The kitchen prepares Indonesian dishes for lunch and dinner, catering to vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal diets. Continental breakfast is served each morning between 7 AM and 9 AM, pairing regional specialties with pancakes and fresh fruit, while a cafe handles light snacks. An outdoor pool sits on the grounds, and rental bicycles are available for exploring local routes.
Guests frequently highlight the hospitality of the owner and staff, describing them as helpful and attentive. Reviewers also praise the large, clean rooms, as well as the well-maintained gardens, swimming pool, and mountain views. On-site meals, particularly breakfast and dinner, receive regular positive mentions. A recurring note among several reviewers is that calls to prayer from a nearby mosque can be heard during the night.
