Prigen Hotels with Balcony

"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."

"Staying at this hotel feels like staying at Villa. The room is spacious & relieved. The facilities are complete. MANTAPP has taken it. It's a pity that there's no swimming pool."

"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."

"The hotel is quite good for a staycation, maybe because it's an old hotel, some of the equipment/tools look a bit neglected, but the room is quite clean The view is also ok The food at the restaurant is quite delicious"

"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"

"The hotel is clean, the service is friendly"

"The best hotel & the most delicious breakfast in Tretes..., cold AC,, pool looks fresh without chlorine, staff are also friendly, spacious rooms, fast check in and check out process, want to come back again"

"Pines garden hotel, cleanliness and location is ok but amenities are not enough. We know that the hotel were placed in highland which means low temperatured but why they didn’t put air conditioner on the rooms ? Maybe its unused but somehow we visitors need some clean air"

"Kebersihan handuk dan kamar mandi yg kurang."
