I shared a review which I thought was fair on this Hostel on another website. When asked if the Hostel provided what was advertised, I had said no. The manager, Dyana, had my email address from my booking, and when my review went public, sent sent me a barrage of long emails over the period of several days - they... More

Very nice staff and cosy feeling. Free laundry, wifi and breakfast. Rooms not that special but with fan (dorm style several beds, but when we stayed there was no oneelse). Short walk to a street with many places to eat etc. I can recommend this place.

We stayed at Da Rifi for 2 nights. Diana, the owner, organised a driver, Arief, to pick us up from Gubeng train station, as the location is a little difficult to explain. We also used Arief to take us to Mt Bromo and he was very helpful all the way, with suggestions on the best use of our time. The... More

The design of the hostel is definitely aimed at backpackers. And for them it is great! We had a spacious and clean room. The shared bathroom was open-air and clean as well.

The only negative was the noise but that was from other guests. The lady running the hostel is extremely nice and will... More

We really can't understand people who says this place is a home away from home... We don't have our home like a dump . Everything is dirty and a mess!! The bed sheets smell like they've never been washed before. The owner is absolutely useless, The only thing she does is surf the internet the whole day. The son is... More

The one thing according to me make one feel comfortable when traveling in a foreign country is the attitude of the staffs where you're staying. If the staffs come out as friendly, then your whole journey will be more easier and enjoyable too. And exactly the same I found at Da Rifi hostel. I always seek such friendly but not... More
