InDRAMAYU - Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes) leader Panji Gumilang denied allegations of a three-star hotel in the pesantren area, Indramayu, West Java.

Panji Gumilang said the hotel in question was not a hotel, but a guest residence for visiting guests and guardians of students.

"Wisma Al Ishah, people don't understand, that person is just a guest place," said Panji Gumilang as quoted by ANTARA in Indramayu, Friday, July 28.

According to him, Wisma Al Ishah cannot be equated with a hotel because it is within the scope of the pesantren.

He mentioned that the guest inn, named Wisma Al Ishalah, was a modern system so that guests and guardians of visiting students did not mix with the students.

"So it must be modern, life must be modern, otherwise how can it unite," said Panji Gumilang.

Previously, there were a number of accusations stating that the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School had a three-star hotel within the pesantren area which was widely reported.

Responding to this, the Indramayu Regency Government (Pemkab) immediately dispatched a team to ensure the truth of the information.
