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. I have no complaints about this hostel actually. Strategic locations, friendly staffs, very clean and comfortable. One thing for improvement is I wish the staffs could be more responsive when handling guests’ issues, like I asked the staffs to change my bedsheet but they didn’t act immediately so in the end they forgot, also I left my things in the room and I asked them to send it to me but they sent it 2 weeks later after I called many times to remind them. Therefore in the future I hope the staffs could be more responsive and fast respond, thank youu!

The breakfasts were fantastic, the room was so comfortable, great facilities (fast WiFi, kitchen to cook , areas to sit and hang out), a fantastic location and overall a perfect little stay. Ferry also arranged a fantastic snorkeling tour for us, making sure he had an appropriate lifejacket for our little one. Same with a helmet and a moped. He can answer any questions and is also on call to help with anything you need. We're already looking forward to visit again.

We had to go across the street to shower. But the staff really cared and tried their best to fix things. I was even offered a ride to the port when checking out. I would definitely stay here again just for the staff!
