Bina Syariah Guest House

For under 100,000 Rupiah, I got a comfortable room and slept well. It had AC, Wi-Fi, a TV, and an outdoor bathroom shared with other guests, which is normal for guesthouses. The room was quite clean when I arrived, and the mattress was firm but soft enough to sleep comfortably. Towels and soap weren’t provided, which was fine for a budget traveler like me looking for a place to rest. It’s fairly easy to find, though cars have to use a narrow road. Motorcyclists can get there without much trouble, and it’s still not too far from the main highway. I’d give the location 7 points. The service was very friendly, but staff may not always be at the office at night if there’s an emergency. The security guard’s WhatsApp number is posted on the office door, so I’d give service 8. My facilities and comfort score is 9, and my overall score is 8. A recommended place for travelers passing through Cirebon.

I booked through Agoda in December 2022 and paid under 80,000. For a budget traveler, I think it’s worth the price. After getting dud rooms on my last three trips, I’m happy again. Thanks, Oyo, keep it up! The building is new. It’s a rental with two bedrooms, a small living room, dining room, kitchen, and drying room. There are two shared bathrooms outside the rooms. The one at the front has a shower with a water heater and a sitting toilet. The one at the back, near the kitchen, has a squat toilet and a regular shower. The water is clear and not salty. The rooms have a wardrobe, buffet, and chairs. The divan is quiet, and the mattress is firm but soft. The sheets and blanket were clean. There’s a smart TV with Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, each account, plus very cold AC. The Wi-Fi was authentically fast: each rental has its own router, and it still worked quickly with my four devices connected. There’s parking, though it’s a bit cramped. The place is in Cirebon, close to everything. Soft drinks are sold at reception, and the security guard is friendly and kind. The main downsides are the shared bathroom with the next room, limited privacy, and cleanliness that could be better. It was a bit slippery, and the toilet was a little dirty, though there was no smell. Since Oyo is new, they don’t provide towels, toiletries, drinking water, or other amenities. You have to ask for a blanket because the AC is really cold. I’d suggest putting eating utensils in the kitchen. I forgot to check whether they were there, but hopefully they are. That’s all, guys. I’m a traveler, not a relative who owns a rental, lol. This is my first impression and honest review. Happy traveling, guys. ☺️😉

The room was decent, but the place felt a bit creepy, maybe because it was so quiet even though it’s in a boarding house area. It’s also far from the main road. I wouldn’t recommend driving here because parking is limited, though it should be fine on a motorcycle. The parking lot was full of plastic water bottles and other trash. It’s a shame because it takes away from the look of the area.

The staff are friendly, and the price is affordable. The room has AC, a TV, wardrobe, and Wi-Fi, plus kitchen facilities and an outdoor bathroom with both sitting and squatting toilets. Some of the cutlery was dirty and hadn’t been washed, and the room smelled of cigarettes. They didn’t provide toiletries or blankets.
