Coming to Bondowoso was really the highlight of my bacpacking-trip, and I am forever grateful for all the fantastic experiences, and all the amazing people I got to meet!☺️☺️ Han was the best host ever, so welcoming. He showed me around town, and I got to meet his friends and family, who were all so kind🫶 I felt like a part of the family, and I will try my best to come back and visit someday❤️ Truly a one of a kind experience, and something I will never forget!

I really enjoyed getting to know Hans and sitting in on his private tutoring sessions. Hans is a very welcoming, generous, and kind person. This not only shows through his words, but also his actions. He really cares about his students learning and delivering high quality teaching. While volunteering, Hans took me around Bondowoso, around the village, he's made me feel very comfortable and he's very approachable. I hope that someday, Hans can visit me in the USA when he visits.

I had so much fun with Han and his family! They were all so welcoming and very kind. I felt right at home and anything I needed he made sure to get it for me. Teaching the students was also so much fun. I felt like I learned a bit in class as well. Would highly recommend coming here if you want to see local life in Java :)

Where to even begin.💛 All round BEAUTIFUL experience. Mr Zen, Han & the rest of the incredible family are the warmest, kindest people who go above and beyond for your stay. The most authentic experience filled with love, so much laughter & growth for travellers wanting to fully immerse in true East Javanese culture. The job Mr Zen & Mr Han do for the students of Bondowoso is spectacular and the lovely nature of all the students reflects this. We made friends for life from this experience & we couldn't be more grateful. If you get the chance to stay with this family, seize the opportunity. 🥹❤️
