PPLH Seloliman Bungalow

This place was a little bit of heaven. To ones side there were mountains and the other the volcano. It was lush with vegetation and wildlife. The staff couldn't do enough for you. Everyone was so lovely. Whilst there we visited the local village where we were treated like royalty. The children and elders have captured a little bit of my heart. I loved them all and miss them. I would love to return one day to see them all again.

We stayed here as part of our Intrepid Jakarta to Ubud tour.  The villas are basic with outside bathrooms but are comfortable. The best part of our stay was the food which was all organic and was very tasty.

Visited as part of an Intrepid tour of Indonesia after coming from Yogyakarta and on the way to Mt Bromo. It's a nice little place actually. We had dinner when we arrived and then we also had breakfast and lunch included. All of the food was fantastic. Our room was fine, fairly comfortable. Visit to the village was interesting and seeing the nature and gardens on a guided walk. Staff were really friendly. It was a nice place to visit, enjoyed it.

I stayed here when I was on a group tour with Intrepid Travel (An Australian tour operator based in Melbourne), so I do not really know how much this hotel cost if you book it as independent travelers. We were on our way from Yogyakarta and Mt. Bromo (the two most important tourist sites in the whole Java, I think) and stayed here for only 1 night.

Compared to other lousy or mediocre hotels we stayed before reaching Seloliman, I would say this is a much nicer and more refreshing place. This is the first hotel we stayed that actually offers mosquito nets. Interestingly, possibly because of higher altitude and the season (I think it is Autumn in May for Java), there were not really many mosquitoes here, compared to Yogyakarta and Pangandaran.

The bathroom/toilet is outdoor but remains private (there are walls that keep from outside.)

In our stay, all meals are included. Though all dishes are basic home cooking, they are delicious. Pretty much more than half of dishes are vegetarian, for which I really appreciated.

The staff also took us for a nature walk and village visit. The walk and the visit were pleasant and mildly educational, though nothing special. After lunch, we also watch demonstration of herbal tea making. 

I would say it is a very pleasant stay. The location is quaint but the mountain scenery here is not spectacular. However, it is a convenient getaway from big city hustle of Surabaya (only a couple hours away). It is also a nice mid-point stop between Yogyakarta and Mt. Bromo.

Stayed as part of a group, so can't comment on value

A little bit of heaven

Group tour visit, enjoyable 

A Nice and Relaxing Stay with a Group Tour

Interesting Place and excellent food

Stayed only 1 night, good setting/gardens, etc

Stayed as part of group tour. 
Eco Lodge is a basic lodging however was clean and the facilities were comfortable. 
Outdoor bathroom had all the amenities required including privacy. 
Be sure to bring room repellent for mosquitos - holes in the window screens and bed nets. 
Meal provided was basic but delicious. 

The documentary shown as part of the introduction to Seloliman was too lengthy.

Quaint Eco Lodge

Overnight on an Intrepid tour. Interesting program educating young Indonesians about the environment. All organic, no chemicals operation. Our meals were very tasty albeit limited in choice. Our accommodation was a small villa with outside bathroom. Quite acceptable but could do with a fan as a bit hot. Biggest negative was no hot water, not even water out of the tap. A dribbling cold water shower is a big turn off and I would not recommend until this changed. Mosquito net over bed but repellent required when outside. Good to support a worthwhile undertaking but creature comforts need improvement.
