The environment was even more beautiful and comfortable than I had imagined. It looked even more stunning in person than in the photos online. The shared spaces were thoughtfully designed and very enjoyable, and offered a wide range of services, including breakfast, laundry, bar and rental of swimming gear. The host was also incredibly friendly and attentive, taking the time to explain all the facilities and services in detail 😊. Considering all the benefits included, the price was very reasonable, truly great value for money! 😄

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. The accommodation features karaoke and a tour desk.

You can play billiards, table tennis and darts at the hostel, and bike hire is available. One of the best stays I’ve ever had! I’m usually not a big fan of dormitories or hostels – but my time at Indigo completely changed my perspective. It was by far one of the best stays I’ve ever experienced. The hostel is run by a warm-hearted couple, Silvia and John, who were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely communicative. You feel welcome from the very first moment. The entire team was also super friendly, relaxed, and just really cool – there’s a special vibe here that’s hard to describe. What truly made this place unforgettable were the people. On the day before I left, we all went on a day trip together – Silvia, John, the staff, other guests, and even some locals – to a remote, stunning island. We spent the whole day swimming, snorkeling, relaxing, chatting, and just enjoying life. In short: Indigo isn’t just a hostel – it’s a place that feels like home. I’ll definitely be coming back!
