The hotel is brilliantly located ten minutes walk from Borabadur temple grounds and in the middle of the town - easy walk to plenty of food options, local market and just a stroll around the back streets. The staff are fantastic and helpful (we had a 4:30am departure and they packed us a great breakfast). It’s a 3 star hotel and exactly what you’d expect. People note the Mosque nearby and the early morning call to prayer but if you want to stay in the town that is inevitable. Only criticism would be it’s time to invest in new towel sets (perfectly clean but old)

Like other places in Indonesia, and most of Asia, the staff were exceedingly kind. The building is an open-style throwback to the Dutch or brief English colonial era, with soaring ceilings (even in the guest suites), palm trees in the interior courtyard, etc. The few grumbles I have must absolutely be taken in the context of the fact that these people only a few months earlier opened after three years of having no tourists b/c of the pandemic. The ceiling fan in my bathroom was so loud I preferred having the extra humidity to the noise. But when I mentioned this to the staff the problem was fixed immediately. Also, poor drainage in the shower. There were a few other signs of wear and rear, but the room was clean, the air conditioning somewhat effective, and the place really nice. Extremely convenient to Candi Borobudur. The dining hall was nice. My deal included breakfasts, which were plenty. Some days they’d have a buffet, others you’d order the day before. Lunch and dinners were about 3 times the cost of the local “restaurants”—more like street stalls, really—but if you prefer not being interrupted by stray cats and minstrels, it’s worth the few extra dollars. Overall, 7/10.

Great stay - friendly staff, beautiful property with lovely pool and great location to visit Borobudur sunrise! Only comment is to have more privacy for changing in the outdoor gazebo before massages, and also more vegetarian options on the menu! Thanks

Location: a five minutes walk to Borobudur ticketing booth. 1.5hrs from airport. Check in: quick and straight forward. Two storey hotel. Walk up. Quiet and relaxing. Reminiscent of the old days when we use room key, a proper key to unlock door. No auto power switch off. European decor. Room with balcony. Pool view. High ceiling. Spacious. Two WC, one with shower. Wood furniture. Exceptionally high doors.Tiled floor. Bed, away from door. Room door facing court yard. Hotel layout gives guests a sense of true privacy, personal space. Love the privacy!

Hotel ideally located for walking to temples and especially viewing the Buddhist stupa at dawn. Spacious rooms, quiet, beautiful pool and excellent restaurant. Booking .com only had one night whereas management said there was two nights available so had to find alternative accommodation. Disappointing as would have liked to stay longer.

The Saraswati was lovely in all ways. It has the advantage of being a 5-minute walk from the site. It is beautifully arranged, we had a very large, grand room, the staff were great, food excellent, the pool perfect.

The hotel is 10 min of walk to Borobudur. I am travelling alone and have done extensive research on the hotel. My requirement is it must be close to the Borobudur temple (because that is the main reason for this trip), and yet, it has to be safe and convenient. I prefer this hotel than other villa type of hotel. The night I arrived it rained heavily. I did not have much expectation on good weather on the following day. But the next morning the weather was fantastic. I went down before 6am and asked how I could get to Candi Mendut. The hotel was so nice and helped me to arrange transportation right away. Bambang and his team is a great team and super helpful. They gave me good suggestions on what to do in this trip. They are flexible to accommodate my needs. They made this trip memorable.

What a lovely piece of paradise! I loved staying at Saraswati hotel with exceptional level of service and personal attention. The hotel team really made me feel like home, and I will certainly come back again. The location is the best within a 5 minute walk to Borobudur Temple, rice fields and all the restaurants. The pool is divine! And I really enjoyed the traditional Javanese massage. Definitely will be coming back! Thank you, Saraswati team!

Pros Service was very gracious, kind and hospital. Location was next to Borobudur if you plan to visit Borobudur. Hotel restaurant served quality and tasty food. Cons Hotel is old and dated. Requires refurbishment. Nothing to do around the location except for Borobudur. Quite boring beyond a day stay.

The charm of this hotel is its proximity to the Borobudur Temple. The pool is nice though the hours are a bit restricted. My rooms AC didnt work but then someone came to fix it. It still didnt cool as much as I would have liked but it was cool enough to have a good nights sleep. The hotel staff were nice and friendly. We left early morning and they were kind enough to make packed lunch boxes for us in lieu of the breakfast we missed. I would say that overall this is a good place if you want to be close to Borobudur. The internet was good too.

The hotel is evidently somewhat faded from what it may once have been. The swimming pool is wonderful, but otherwise the rooms/common areas are beginning to show age and the need for an upgrade. Staff are kind and helpful, but not good at suggesting things to do (other than visiting the temple, a world heritage site), places to eat, visit, etc etc. Its other virtue is its relatively small size, which makes for a pleasantly relaxed almost homely atmosphere. Good and reasonably priced massage. Breakfast is OK, but a la carte choices for snacks, lunch and dinner leave a lot to be desired. But for what it is, it's good value for money.

One of the finest hospitality I received at Hotel Saraswati. Staff at Hotel were very helpful. Specially Mr. Bambang. He was very polite and helpful. He took care of all requirements and even made international call to find out our need. My special thanks to Mr Bambang. Hotel is very good designed to give heritage look. It have big rooms, comfortable bathroom. All rooms are quiet. Towels were soft. Bed and pillows were comfortable to have sound sleep. Limited breakfast but nice and satisfying. In house restaurant is also good for Lunch and dinner. Best part is 12 min by walk to Temple Borobudur. I love to return hotel.

We stayed 4 nights at the Saraswati hotel. The hotel is very close to Borobudur. Staff there is very nice and helpful. The bed is comfortable with two pillows per side. The room we were in was huge with 1.5 bathrooms. It is true that the call to prayer from the mosque is very loud and did wake us, but we were able to fall back asleep on days we weren't trying to rise early anyway. Very slow internet would be the one downside.

It is an old hotel. Wifi is not working, and IT technician cannot fix it. The business centre has no air conditioning. In the room, there is an old TV set with a few local channels. The restaurant is deserted during lunch and dinner time. It is not busy during breakfast although it comes with the room.

Saraawati Hotel is an old hotel, with a great location. Actually, hotel has some character. The staff is friendly. Rooms, which could use a makeover, surround an outside courtyard. The TV is 1990s vintage. From hotel, it's only a 5 minute walk to the main Borobudur monument. For breakfast, the menu has several choices.
