Losmen Budjono

Central Java


Located near the Wonosobo junction, this simple, sociable guesthouse has been hosting backpackers for years and has a certain ramshackle charm with basic, clean, economy rooms. The friendly, orderly restaurant downstairs (mains 12,000Rp to 25,000Rp) sports tablecloths and lace curtains and rustles up a mean egg and chips – the latter sourced from locally grown potatoes.

Three-hour hiking tours to Gunung Prau (2565m) are offered for 250,000Rp per person, departing at around 3am.
