What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Coban Rondo Waterfall offers a pleasant natural escape with its accessible beauty and refreshing mist, complemented by unique nearby accommodations like Bobocabin. While the waterfall itself is lovely, some visitors find the overall cost and commercialization a bit high for the experience. The surrounding nature and activities like the Labyrinth Park are generally well-received, though facility maintenance can be an issue.
"Coban Rondo Waterfall in Pujon, Malang, was a mixed experience. The waterfall itself was pleasant but felt more like a tourist attraction than a natural marvel.
However, the walk back through the beautiful nature was genuinely enjoyable, leading us past the Coban Rondo Outbound Area with its labyrinth park (restrooms were dirty, though), paintball, and archery.
However, we found the overall cost to be a significant consideration. The tourist entrance fee, combined with additional charges (including a drop-off fee for our GoCar), felt rather steep given the somewhat modest nature of the waterfall and the commercialized aspects of the park."

"Went here early so that it wasn’t crowded at all and the air was still cool. I enjoyed the view of the waterfall and the cool mist once you get nearer! It’s a healing experience."
