Near by walking to the city centre of Yogya but in a quiet and nice neighborhood right in front of the south limit of the Kraton. Super cute place where it is easy to relax and rest. Extremely clean and cozy. Very kind and helpful staff, giving lots of great recommendations about where to go, eat… Also helping to organize the visit to Borobudur and Prambanan.

The room was rather hot at night so a thinner sheet or extra fan would’ve helped.

This charming hostel really made our time in Yogyakarta special as the staff were really friendly, made us feel welcome and gave us recommendations. The room was comfortable and good value. Breakfasts were very tasty and were local dishes which varied every morning. The staff even generously asked us to join them for dinner one night. The location was good as warungs and the main sights are within a 15-30 minute walk through a nice neighbourhood, or a very cheap taxi. Would recommend.

We loved Abrakadabra homestay! The staff is amazing - really friendly and helpful. The rooms and common areas are clean and very nice. Such a great vibe and amazing common area full of plants. Beautiful furniture and decoration. I really recommend staying here!!

Every aspect of the homestay was really nice. The solo private room was cosy. Its located in a good place too and not too far from the city centre. The staff were incredibly helpful and provided exceptional customer service. Definately my highlight of Yogyakarta, will miss this place.

Unfortunately only stayed one night - would have loved to stay longer. Could not recommend Abrakadabra more if you’re staying in Yogyakarta. Such a unique colourful and fun vibe in this homestay - staff were beyond lovely and our free pancakes in the morning were amazing. So much character to the room, all comfy and clean. Thank you so much for having us !

Abra is a beautiful and cozy homestay. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming, make it feels like your own home in Jogja. Located in a peaceful neighborhood yet remains easily accessible to some tourist attractions. They provide free bicycles to strolling around and a lovely little pool to cool off on jogja's hot day. Will always be my favorite homestay in Yogyakarta!

The room only had a fan so it was hard to keep cool some nights. The laundry lost my fav and only baggy trousers, the hostel guy did try to recover them but no luck :( :( haha

Staff were fantastic, so welcoming and lovely. Room was big and spacious, we went for a private with en suite. Free breakfast was a nice touch and they even did us a packed one for when we left early to visit the temples. Dipped in the little pool one day which was nice. We also met the Homestay owner and he seemed like a super cool guy (and you can tell by the way the place is decorated).

I was the only backpacker there so I never and to wait for free shower or toilet. Maybe if they are fully booked you need to wait a little when the facilities are still occupied.

Really nice and cozy hostel at a good location. The host and his crew is really nice and helpful. I was staying in the dorm which has comfy beds with curtains and lockers which easily fit a big backpack. There is free water and nice breakfast. They have a warm water shower and you can book several tours through the hostel. I could easily extend my stay for one night (even cheaper prices than digital booking). Really nice community areas.

We were warmly welcomed in this amazing homestay. The atmosphere is so nice and fresh with all the plants carefully cared. We felt like at home. It is a really good plan to enjoy Yogyakarta while being in a quieter neighbourhood. Tasty breakfast! We wish we would come back!

It's hard to stay cool at night or day. Rooms are not equipped with full air conditioning. If you decide to have a holiday in Indonesia you'll need to accommodate the humid heat.

Exceptional hostel. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, very chatty and helpful. They know the vicinity and are keen to give inspiration and hints where to go and what to do. The breakfast in the morning was freshly prepared with local ingredients. The hostel is tastefully furnished and equipped. Bathrooms are clean and tidy. Cleaner comes through every day. The beds were clean and comfortable, the rooms spacious and inviting. Every room is equipped with a fan to cool down. The shared kitchen and living space is incredibly beautiful as the owner has created a green oasis with self planted plants, hanging off the walls and ceilings. The location is quiet, but close to the city centre. As a solo traveller who's never been to Indonesia before I have found exactly what I was looking for. I'd stay again, come back in a heartbeat. This place has got a fabulous vibe. One of a kind jewel.

We had a great time with Fisra and Devoo (I'm sure this is not the right spelling). They made us feel at home. We felt like having made new friends. The outdoors shower was a nice touch.

It was one of the sweetest home i ever went. There is so much love in the detail and everbody is so nice and have a smile in the face. Everything is clean. I loved my stay there and hope come back soon. No ac in the dorm but a fan.

Stayed in April 2024

The rooms can be quite hot, with individual fans next to every bed to compensate, but of course doesn't come without noise.

The place is very beautiful, calm, with a nice vibe. The decoration is a mix of vintage with green plants. The breakfast is very good, and moreover the staff is super nice and chill ! Everything is clean.

There was nothing not to like as such because for the price offered everything was great.

Location is allright . It's a little inside though.

- Location was very good overall but it's not ideal for people who like walking as it takes almost 10 minutes to exit the kampung because of the walls and you're staying right in the corner. As such walking somewhere 50m away as the crow flies on the other side might take 15/20 mins because you have to walk around the kampung wall and then double back around on the other side. Can be fixed by renting a scooter. - No AC in the room (a bit brutal in the hot Jogya dry season) - Old school door lock took some time to get the hang of

- Great hostel; big public area conducive to meeting people - Swimming pool which was appreciated in the hot Jogya dry season - Really good location, inside the same kampung as the Jogya palace, close to great food (e.g. gudeg warungs) and lots of people living their lives (e.g. Alun-Alun Kidul at night) - Very cute outdoor bathroom - Lovely staff - Price was very reasonable - Good wifi (worked for video streaming)
