Kalibaru Cottages is a nice, bike-friendly place for an overnight. The receptionist who to my surprise spoke quite passable Dutch, showed me to a place in the garden where I could wash my bike, and he arranged a packed breakfast so that I could start early. The rooms are good, and everything is working as it should. After a very cold and wet descent from Ijen, the blistering-hot shower was just the right thing for me. One minor draw-back is that the rooms do not have many power outlets, so you have to choose between charging your phone or switching on the bedside lamp. The food was good. Overall, I think there are few hotels in Indonesia who van beat the value-for-money score of Kalibaru Cottages!
