Liked: The rustic character and friendly vibe of Jalan-Jalan makes the place a welcome oasis in the heart of backpacker land. I only booked in for two nights initially, but Jalan-Jalan is so pleasant that I ended up staying for five! The staff are ever-present and friendly and the atmosphere is conducive to meeting other travellers. It is also super-cheap!

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
