Feng Y. Solo travelers China, April 29, 2013	Treat you as a family member Organic food. Free laundry.Warm-hearted stuff. 7.7 I just don't know the location is so isolated so i booked this hotel but seems i have do a right thing. The female owner,whow also is the only stuff,is so hospitable that always make a lot of snacks and share with the guest. All the materials were planted by herself in a little garden. So the food were fresh and organic and of course delicious. Free laundry, free coffee and bread, free medicines for mosquitoes, the owner really treat you as a member of her family. Knowing me wanted to go to the city central,she even bring me to her young neighbour and asked if he could send me to there with his motorbike. Fortunately, he was free the next day so it came true. Otherwise it may take me lot of time to get to the central because of there is rare public transpotarion near the hotel and even i got some,it will still take me a long time sicnce the traffic jam is such a general phenomenon in surabaya. Overall, except the location, i can give full marks to Da Rifill. Included the location, i still love to recommend to the one who want to spend only one night before go to the ariport, for it might be the nearest hostel of the ariport with a bargain price.

Nik I. Solo travelers Malaysia, March 03, 2013	House turned into hostel Nice and quiet place. It is a home away from home 8.3 The owner is a wonderful person always smiling and full of information for the traveller to explore Surabaya and Malang.I would like to suggest that she should turn her spacious front yard into a sitting area for relaxation and comfort. Otherwise I am happy to stay at her place and would surely come back again. Sightseeing/Attractions Tip: A good place to visit is Malang a two hour bus ride from Surabaya's Purabaya bus station. It is a universityu town with a nice weather.
Fredy K. Solo travelers Indonesia, March 01, 2013	Simply Hostel Cheap, Clean, and Warm Welcome 6.3 I stayed at Da Rifi Hostel for one night, since I had arrived in Surabaya almost midnight. The location was near from the Juanda airport, to get there you can use airport taxi around IDR 50,000 (It supposed to be cheaper, since it is only about 5km from the airport) Anyway, it was not too easy to find the location but if you follow the map and little bit asking you will find the place with small signage number. Clean, no AC, basic indonesian breakfast, self service :) and the owner and the officer are kind. It is quite enough for backpackers to stay.
Yichao Z. Couples China, February 17, 2013	home like hostel nice staff makes you feel at home 7.7 they provide detailed directions to get there on there website, but the Mini bus actually refers to local transport Bemo, it's confusing if you ask local about the bus. Free home-made breakfast, free laundry, 15 minutes by taxi to the airport, no fixed check-in, check-out time. suitable for those need a place for short stay to transfer, or those want a budget long stay.
Anabil U. Solo travelers Malaysia, January 30, 2013	Nice and considerate owner close to the airport 7 I booked two nights stay at this hostel but then I did not manage to get the train ticket to Surabaya on the first day so I asked for a free motorcycle transfer from the hostel to the airport as a replacement for the one night that I cancelled. was very kind and considerate to agree to my request. Thanks so much, I really appreciate!
Ketut B. Solo travelers Indonesia, January 12, 2013	nice guest house with very friendly owner price is good, location is quite close from the airport 8.3 everything is good with this hotel, location, room, hot water, the only thing bad is the mosquitos, but they provided the mosquitos spray, so its fine. Shopping Tip: is about 15 minute by taxi to go to the bigget shoping mall like tunjungan plaza, grand city, surabaya town square and etc.
