I was initially skeptical of glamping-themed hotels like Bobocabin because I don't like small rooms and camping. After staying here for a night, it turned out to be quite pleasant, and I'm eager to return or try Bobocabin elsewhere.
The ambiance and pine forest surroundings create a cool, fresh atmosphere. Although the Deluxe room isn't large, it's comfortable, clean, and fragrant. The bathroom is also clean and stocked with toiletries like a regular hotel. However, for me, the shower head is positioned too low, so you have to hold the shower head, not place it on the headrest.
What really made me feel at home here was being able to bring my own BBQ equipment, allowing me to enjoy nature while cooking on the cabin terrace. They also provide food that you can order if you like. For me, the experience of cooking your own meals in the middle of a pine forest, coupled with the incredibly comfortable cabin, are big points for Bobocabin Cikole. Awesome!
The staff is also friendly. At the parking lot entrance, they offered to help carry our luggage, as the cabins involved a short walk up a slight incline, and trolleys weren't available. It can be quite tiring if you're carrying a lot of heavy luggage. The staff were very helpful. Furthermore, the maintenance staff was responsive. When I complained via the Bobocabin app that the blur/clear function on the main cabin window wasn't working properly, they immediately checked the problem and quickly adjusted the window.
There was a slight issue, however. Upon entering the parking lot, we were asked to pay an entrance fee of 45,000 rupiah for one car and two people. This struck me as a bit odd, as the hotel price didn't include the entrance fee, so we had to have cash ready to pay.
Overall, my stay at Bobocabin Cikole was very positive, and the reasonable price makes me want to come back!
