It was a big and stylish home just outside the town. It was quiet and close to the nature with lovely seating are outside. The owner was really nice and helpful. Fine breakfast.
2.5 / 5.0
breakfast was good with fresh boiled eggs.
The man who worked at the guesthouse knocked on my door to ask about breakfast and tours after i retired to bed for consecutive two nights which made me uneasy and apprehensive. I was only the guest, which added to be afraid. Also at every opportunity, he tried to sell me tours with marked-up prices.

The host was very helpful and friendly. The location is gorgeous. It’s very family friendly and great to stay where you are surrounded by chickens, sheep and a tropical fruit garden.
4.0 / 5.0
A laid-back house with simple rooms, weak light bulbs and village flair. Nice sitting areas.
There were no food options in the afternoon and evening. In the rain we couldn't order food, so missing dinner or getting wet was the only option. Buy some extra Indomie, guys, for this case, please.
1.5 / 5.0
Simple breakfast of egg and noodles provided early for breakfast. Person there went for food in evening.
Area roundabout pretty. Will arrange for you to get to temple and back for your things for about 50,000idr.
Very strange experience where I basically had to wait 90 minutes for person working there to finish praying. I didn't mind waiting a short while but he left me in a rather dreary room for well over an hour with no WiFi and hungry. Eventually appeared after 90 minutes.
It is difficult to work out how to get to this area in a day so accomodation is worth considering. It is nice to get to temple early before crowds but not as early as guide books say (post COVID and off season). Also borobudur as temple is disappointing as can only access ground and at that only half area. Definitely get a tour (I had Lena - brilliant) as improves what would otherwise be an underwhelming experience. Tour is 150,000idr from official guide as you go in and think a tip, of maybe about 50,000 is expected.
Accomodation is good distance from temple so will need some kind of transport there. Also far from any food options. Noisy mosque nearby.
I found the place pretty dingy and depressing. Guy working there was ok but not as helpful as write ups. His friend that took me round was better to interact with.

This a nice and clean place, in a very quiet surroundings, perfect to discover Borobudur and the nature around.
The owner are very helpful. Really recommended if you need a cheap place in a nice village above Borobudur

The owner Yudo is very friendly and helpfull. He knows lot o people and surprised us with a visit to a nearby village which was amazing. It is great that there bicycles available to visit the nearby monuments.
We arrived quite lat and did have dinner yet, so the owner was so nice to get us some food.
Although it is not cold in the nights, I prefer a sheet together with the blanket. But after asking for sheet, a serong was profided which was perfectly fine.

Fendi is awesome. He let us borrow his scooter for travelling into Borobudur town. He’s great to have a chat with, and we even ended up changing up our future plans quite a bit based on his recommendations.

Good location, comfortable stay
There was a party nearby, but guess we were just unlucky. probably quiet on all other days
5.0 / 5.0
For what it is - a simple but nice and clean homestay in the countryside near Borobudur - it is perfect. The room was small but it is compensated by a spacious sitting area indoors and outdoors. Fendi speaks English very well and takes care of you. Free water and tea.
Nothing. (Well, not directly connected to the homestay, but Borobudur was still only semi-opened due to Covid regulations. Check the entrance policy before you go. The official Borobudur website is not reliable, search for latest reviews.)
5.0 / 5.0
You will stay in a spacious house, which rooms are simple but most importantly clean and comfortable.
The owner is a very kind and caring person who loves sharing his knowledge about the village, culture, people and where to get the best food😝
Therefore it is the perfect location to explore more of the village and the nature around, than just the Borobodur Temple.
We really enjoyed our stay!
5.0 / 5.0
Our host Fendi is just unbelievably helpful. He took care of us for the lunch and dinner, for the visit of the temple (he took us there at 4:30am), for the bus to go to Jakarta... we couldn't expect better. Thanks to him
The room is simple but clean and we slept well.
Hot water in the bathroom!
Free coffee and tea and fresh water.
Nothing. For the price it was over the top. Better than you can expect.
