Set in the joyful and inviting family home of Yudhi Suryana, SL Guesthouse has private and shared rooms with curtained-off beds and a shared bathroom. It's starting to show its age a bit, but there's a large yard usually bustling with family members (and other guests). Rates include three tasty meals and strong local coffee, and free laundry too.
The best part: Yudhi arranges a handful of delightful tours in the region, including treks to rural villages and rice fields (per person from 250,000Rp), trips to a floating village (per one/two people 200,000/175,000Rp) in a nearby lake, and to a local school. He also arranges bus and train tickets, and books private transport.
The guesthouse is actually around 10km northeast of Cianjur and very complicated to find without some local knowledge. The best bet is simply to phone and ask them to explain how to get there.
