The staff at Karimun Lumbung are awesome. The man who was there most of the time was very agreeable, willingly answered all our questions about nearby restaurants and leisure activities and served breakfast exactly as we ordered and on time. A big thank you to him! I also loved the table, the chairs and the sunchair in front on the terrace of the cottage.

As to the negative points, Karimun Lumbung offers pick-up from the airport/harbour by motorbike, but they don't have helmets. Riding a motorbike without a helmet is not only unsafe, but it is also illegal.
Also, the cockroaches in the cottage made our stay unpleasant and stressful. If they at least mended the different holes, cockroaches would not be able to enter. Plus, the insecticide they provide isn't efficient: cockroaches become unconscious, then after some time they wake up and run away.
It would be nice if this hotel had hot water. Plus, water pressure in the shower wasn't always good. And the AC wasn't powerful. Apparently, they haven't cleaned it for a long time.

I think that this hotel can potentially be a very good one in the future, but before that they need to improve on the many points highlighted above. The receptionist also told us they are planning to build a swimming pool - that will definitely be a plus once it's ready.

A hotel with a good future, but many improvements are needed

First, it me who requested this place to my travel agent, by what I saw in their Instagram pictures I imagine a nice stays in Karimunjawa Island. So... it's the mistake is mine.
By the time of arrival, me, my wife, kids, all surprised..... many things are 180 degrees far from what I saw in Instagram.
The bungalows were not maintained, the open ceiling bathroom were dirty, wood furnitures broken, room's wood flooring also dirty, bed & curtain also the same.
The outside garden and natural pool were not there anymore, the grass were damaged, all were messy place.
We only stay for 1 night over 3 night I've planned, we decided to move out as soon as possible to the new hotel, Java Paradise which more comfortable in everything.
This were the worst hotel I ever stay.... please stay away from this place, don't get fooled by the pictures in Instagram, it's the first 2 years pictures which owned by the first owner and now are managed by a fools new owner who didn't know how to manage only 5 bungalows. 

First hotel which got me surprised 

The Bungalows itself are fine. The Compound however, is still under construction. There are only five bungalows so far, three of which  are facing the main road, while two face the shore, giving you a view of the unfinished construction. (mostly mud and water, trees in the background) The construction site was inoperative, so no noise, but not the most pleasant view. 

The bathroom is nice, except there is no roof over the toilet part, and water pressure is very low, so if you plan on washing your hair it may take a while. Also there is no warm water. 

There is no kitchen  on the Compound, so breakfast comes pre packed under plastic foil. Breakfast options are fried rice, fried noodles or banana pancakes. The pancakes are quite tense, might be due to the packing. 
Wifi connectivity in our Bungalow was bad, at some times access was limited to the bathroom. 
There were some misunderstandings with a snorkeling trip we booked. The trip itself was fine, but we thought we would get handed under water cameras, so we left our own camera at home. We didn’t get any cameras, as only the guide was taking photos. No tragedy, but not perfect either. 
The manager also helped us organize a transport to Semarang when we were leaving, which sadly was of no use for us, since it would have started too late for us to catch our train. (about which we had told the manager) we were therefore forced  to take a taxi to Semarang, which was quite expensive.

A chess board and a credit card were stolen from our bungalow. Also someone went through on of our backpacks. Since the room was locked, and there were no traces, whoever took it must have had a key. After checkout, we found that a 100 euro note was missing as well. We didn’t notice this at first, because all the indonesian Rupees (in which we still had to pay for the accommodation) were still there. A police report was only filed for the credit card. Staff were very polite, but couldn’t do anything about it. After we left, we were contacted by booking.com because Karimun Lumbung had filed our visit as no show. Probably to avoid anything about items getting stolen showing up in the reviews. When we contacted the manager about it, we got no reply. Also he later wrote us, that it is not sure if our items had been stolen, practically accusing us of lying.

Some misshaps

This first time my bf and I visited karimunjawa, i calls the owner about pick up service from the karimunjawa harbour. 
They are really frendly, invited us to their birthday party friend's also took us to the floating house, eat ikan bakar for lunch and eat sour & spicy chili souce... 
Thanks Mas Denny & Mr.Durian for your kindness, we will come back as your customers, friends and family. see you next year,

Frendly owner & Mr.Durian

This was a great place to stay, we stayed for 2 nights here. staff was helpful and they provided what we need.
if you gonna stay here, don't forget to walk to the amazing backyard and the hidden beach behind.
breakfast was good. they offered us to choose pancake or nasi goreng. however, nasi goreng they had was bit spicy.
in our room, the air conditioner didn't work well. not cold and just wind came out.

We had a good stay

We had the most wonderful time at Karimun Lumbung, Karimunjawa. The staff is very helpful and super friendly. Wimbo helped us a lot with the tickets for the boat and we could always ask him for help.
The room was very clean and the bed is really comfortable. It is an amazing place to stay during your time at Karimunjawa. 

Amazing place to stay!

The staff are super friendly. The hotel provides transport from and to harbour, motorbike rent, snorkeling and diving trip, so I can ask them for all my trip in Karimunjawa. 
The room is hotel standart, with the sitting closet and shower, the bed and the pillow is verrryyy comfortable. The location is good for people who looking for calmness and privacy. 
Breakfast also good.
