Java Turtle Lodge Meru Betiri

5 stars is not enough! This place is amazing, absolutely a gem worth visiting. The staff is very friendly and the accommodation is great. The owner is also an amazing host and very helpful.

We stayed at JTL as a group of nine and had an amazing experience. The place is very quiet and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. It’s only a 2-minute walk to the beach and very close to Rajegwesi beach and Green Bay (Teluk Ijo), which made the location even more special. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, spacious, and smelled great. The Wi-Fi worked well and was a huge help since there’s no phone signal in the area. The host, Bp. Poer was friendly and very informative, and the staff were truly outstanding and always ready to help. Breakfast was a solid 10/10 — honestly, the best Nasi Goreng I’ve ever had! Everything about this stay was worth every penny, and we would definitely come back again. Thank you for having us, Bp. Poer.

Excellent Jeep tour with Andre and Cherry to Sukamade turtle conservation center. Very nice and helpful team - one of the best trips we did in Indonesia!

We've had a wonderful stay at the 'Java Turtle Homestay'! We loved the quiet and peaceful atmosphere and the ever smiling helpful staff! The rooms are very comfortable and have a beautiful and large shower with hot water. A big thanks and congratulations to Ba Hadi, owner of the homestay, who made everything by himself. He makes sure every guest is feeling well and organises trips or activities according to one's wishes. We liked the visit of a local dragon fruit plantation, the production of brown sugar and of course the jungle adventure to watch and release turtles! Moreover, Ba Hadi is a very dedicated man for the local community. With the benefits of his homestay and activities, he helps orphans, provide school accessories, launches a local ambulance service, etc... We absolutely recommend Ba Hadi's Java Turtle Homestay!!

One of the best travel experiences in my life :) Hadi is a wonderful host. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Staff super friendly and helpful. Visiting Sukamade beach for turtle laying eggs is a once in a lifetime experience! We will never forget it. It is so impressive to see how Hadi became a professional manager starting as a simple fisherman. Thank you for everything!! Terima kasih :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Java Turtle Lodge. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, the food is very delicious, the tours we did where amazing (release baby turtles, visiting greenbay beach, driving through the jungle and seeing black and grey monkeys, hornbills and have breakfast at the river), there is a nice garden with hammocks and lovely seats. The lodges are even nicer than on the picture. Our stay in the turtle lodge was one of our highlights in East Java 🐢🐢

Java Turtle Lodge is fantastic! This is the place to stay in Meru Betiri. Pak Poer and his wife are incredibly friendly and helpful. They care deeply for nature and the community. This made me feel right at home. Pak Poer knows the whole area and can help with everything — from boat trips to private beaches, excursions to Sukamade beach to spot turtles, but also a 2-day jungle trek through the heart of the park (recommended for the fanatics). I even saw a turtle on the beach at night, which was an unforgettable experience. Last-minute requests are no problem at all. The nearby beaches and national park are extraordinary beautiful. The accommodation is super neat and within walking distance of several beaches. The meals are delicious and healthy. Hope I can go here again soon! Matur suwun Java Turtle Lodge!

We stayed 3 nights at Java Turtle Lodge, which was the best part of the whole Java/Bali trip. Hadi and his wife took great care of us, the lodge is designed and run with love and passion. Hadi organized our trips to, Green Bay, the local village and of course the great tour to Sukamade beach to see the turtle. That was an unforgettable experience, we had the best guide Oni and we really enjoyed it. Hadi also took us around the area of the lodge to other places so you can easily stay even more than 3 nights which I would do next time. The lodge is very comfortable with excellent meals, so come and see yourself.
