Boutique Hotels in Prigen

"Baobab Safari Resort is located quite far from Surabaya city centre, but it is definitely worth the approximately 1-hour drive from Surabaya Airport. We booked two connecting rooms, both with balconies. We were assigned to Level 4, and the view was absolutely magnificent, overlooking Mount Arjuno and Mount Welirang. Waking up to the mountain scenery was truly refreshing. Cooling weather, fresh air and beautiful scenery. Food Experience The highlight of the meals was the Nasi Rawon. The beef was very tender—soft and melt-in-the-mouth—and the soup was rich and flavourful. The portion size was generous. Other food items were acceptable but nothing particularly outstanding. For breakfast, however, the buffet spread was rather limited, especially in terms of meat and protein options. Room & Amenities The room itself looked decent but slightly dated. That said, the beautiful view more than compensated for it. One important note: do stock up on your own bottled water before arriving. The hotel uses refillable glass bottles, and unfortunately, the wooden covers of the glass containers appeared very mouldy, which was quite off-putting. Activities & Environment There are plenty of activities available. A walk through the Enchanted Forest thats full of pine trees and feeding area for Capybara, Lama, Sheep is possible, though you’ll need to take a buggy from another area. The Safari Zoo is located separately but can be arranged by the hotel. Animals around the hotel can be fed according to scheduled timings. Waterbucks, however, can be fed with carrots 🥕, which were provided by the hotel on the day of check-in. The lobby and dining areas were a standout—beautifully designed and facing the roaming animals while still maintaining a safe boundary within their designated area. Animal Welfare I have always been quite sceptical about zoo animals in Indonesia due to past negative experiences, where animal welfare did not seem well cared for. However, Baobab Safari Resort truly changed my perspective. The environment is clean, the animals appear well fed, and I frequently saw zookeepers actively present in the animal areas, feeding hay and grass to the zebras, waterbucks, buffaloes, and giraffes. It was reassuring and heartening to see such care and commitment. This experience made me believe that proper education and responsible management really do help build a better environment for zoo animals. Overall, it was a meaningful and memorable stay for my family."

"About an hour away from Surabaya Airport, it is a relatively quiet village on Java Island. The location of the hotel is great, overlooking the beautiful scenery, and the sunrise at night is super beautiful. Facing 🌋, it is very comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel facilities are relatively old, probably because there are few people staying, they are not well maintained, and the price is slightly higher than the price. But overall it is acceptable. The breakfast is very rich. The satay skewers at the entrance of the hotel are super delicious."

"Pluses: 1. All staff are friendly and alert. Service is really like 5 star hotel staff 2. The largest room size in all of Tretes, especially if you get a connecting room 3. Luxurious interior 4. At night, order food at Welirang restaurant, it tastes great! 5. The location is suitable for healing Minuses: 1. The room floor is dusty, the amnesty is incomplete 2. The adult swimming pool is very dirty, my baby was swimming there, and after swimming he immediately got itchy 3. The taste of the food at breakfast is not as good as when ordered personally"

"The hotel is clean, the service is friendly"

"I've become a regular on family vacations. I want to see green views and cool air. You can also have breakfast in your room without having to go to the restaurant. You can choose the menu, don't be stingy... But because this is an old hotel there are some problems in the bathroom"

"Located in the Taman Dayu area, it is located in the middle, even though it is a bit far from the main main gate, it is strategic to get to D'gunungan, Spiderbucks cafe, DeDuren Mas, Ollive Beach, Callimera, it is still in one complex but there are lots of good places to eat. In the hotel itself, the rooms are very spacious, the rooms are good, the restaurant has a good view, lots of facilities, adequate parking. Unfortunately, the service or responsiveness is lacking, especially in terms of room arrangements, which need to be improved a lot to be more professional in handling room and guest bookings. Because this hotel is rated as a 4 star, staff service also needs to be better. Doing a lot of maintenance, especially rejuvenating the interior and around the hallway in the king bed room type so that it doesn't look dull. Hopefully it can be better. For families, it's good to take the room in the 100s block, the twin all type, while for elderly people who really have difficulty walking, you can take the 200s room block, the king bed type, which is right above the lobby. Because to get to the twin type there are several stairs. must be passed. You can find outside food at the food court near the Taman Dayu gate, lots of various kinds of food."
