Hotels and accommodation
Sunshine is glinstering in the fishponds and flowers seem to greet you warmly. Local houses are such something else; a Javanese experience.
At the Ijen Plateau in Sempol village you can find Arabica Homestay just of the main road. The magnificent views and the nearby coffee factory are the homestay's main attraction.
Catimor Homestay is partly made from bamboo, and constructed in 1894. A newer brick building contains more basic rooms. This homestay is most closely located to Mt Ijen.
Jampit Guesthouse was built in 1927 19 km south of Sempol. It was inhabited by the Dutch administrator who managed the coffee plantation Blawan during the colonial era.
At Pos Paltuding you can find three basic facilities to spend the night. It can get cold during the night, but just three km left to Ijen crater lake.
