Amazing hosts, cute garden, great location”

The hosts were by and far the best part of the property. Ika and his wife Christina are the sweetest and most attentive owners. When I arrived I was not only presented with a welcome drink and local welcome snacks, but Ika also sat down with me to explain what the snacks were. He also gave me tips on visiting Borodobur and lent me a book on the temple! The next morning even though I accidentally woke up late, Christina still prepared an absolutely delicious brunch of fresh fruit, local pastry, and a local noodle dish (also all explained). They were super flexible and responsive (on WhatsApp as well) and they made the stay easy and so pleasant. On top of this all, the guesthouse is well maintained and it is in a very central location. I highly recommend coming here to stay!

best host ever”

The Host was the friendliest and most welcoming person we have ever met. He prepared a map with all good restaurants and shops/ATMs in the area and even wrote down some usefull indonesian phrases for ordering food. He helped us with everything we needed and always tried his best to make our time in borobudur as pleasant as possible. the room was very clean and the garden is beautiful. The breakfast was also good. His home-grown Snake Friuts are delicious;) I can highly recommend this place as you will instantly feel at home.

Was a perfect experience for us”

This Homestay is very close to Borobodur temple. I can easily say that our 2 night stay exceed our expectations. Ika (Owner of the homestay) and her wife made everything to make us feel like home. He gave very good tips about nearby locations, we make a cycling tour together and also he drive us to sunrise. They prepared breakfast for us even though we didn’t booked the room with breakfast. I would give 11 out of 10 if its possible :)

Fully recommended to stay here when visiting Borobudur temple”

From the moment that you cross the door, Yani and Ika makes you feel like home: they offer the full hospitality of their home receiving you with cookies and tee, giving you recommendations of best places nearby to have dinner and a full map with activities to do in the surrounding. It‘s not only about the host but also the location. The house is 10‘ walking from Borobudur temple

Lovely little homestay in Borobodur”

I absolutely loved Ika and Yani. They welcomed me into their home and were so kind and helpful. And Yani made the best breakfast, and Ika was a wonderful tour guide.
My only complaint would be the firmness of the bed. However, hard beds are a common thing in Indonesia so nothing that would prevent me from recommending their lovely homestay.

It sounds cliché but the host Ika and his wife are really kind, helpful and attentive. The local breakfast was delicious, filling and different from the usual. The room was pretty. The house has a nice little garden and is situated in a more quiet residential street, very close to everything, most notably the temple.
