The trip was ok but lacked original ideas and creativity to make it a unique experience. Some hotels were really under par

Our Sri Lanka trip was a 10...this Indonesia trip was not the caliber that we experienced from our last trip. We booked assuming this was a continuous tour not three individual tours placed back to back. We wasted time on the meet and greet days which we assumed was only once not 3 times. The trips repeated 3 rice paddy walks, 3 village walks 2 homestays 2 volcano hikes. There were 5 of us on the complete tour and we had all interpreted the itinerary the same way. accommodations in Sri Lanka exceeded our expectation...however several hotels were way below standard especially in cleanliness. I don't expect 5 star hotels but I do expect rooms and bedding to be clean. Some of the transportation was not suitable for large groups. The Java tour is too short for the distance travelled mostly because of traffic... several days of more than 10 hours in the bus and then rushed for time at your destination.
