Lava View Lodge, Probolinggo, Indonesia

As we'll be trekking the Mount Pananjakan, Tengger Crater and Mount Bromo, so our tour guide arrange this hotel as it's quite near to our next destination.

The lodge is located on the mountain, hence it's damn chilly up here. I felt I'm gonna turn into ice any moment, especially when I was not properly dressed any warm clothes. I was wearing a sleeveless top and denim shorts. So you can imagine how cold I was.

It's a double-storey unit, and I'm thankful my room is located on the ground floor, hence I needn't have to carry my luggage up the flight of stairs. The lodge overlooks the Tengger Crater, which is really breathtaking.

The room was quite old and dim. And the door is so troublesome to open. They only provide 1 key. You need the key to lock from outside and from inside. So literally, you need to twist the key four times; twice outside and twice inside.

The room consists of 2 super single beds, a table, 2 arm chair and a dressing table. A clothes rack, kettles, cups and spoons, coffee and tea sachets and 2 bottled water (complimentary) are provided.

The bathroom is quite clean and small. There's no shower room, so the whole floor is wet. And in this kind of weather, you seriously need water heater. However, the water pressure is really low. And there's not much place for you to put your toiletries.

Overall, I don't quite like this accommodation. Oh, and there's no Wi-Fi.
