Super kind staff that gave suggestions for activities, such as sunrise spots and hiking routes. They advised on local food to eat. And they allowed us to store our luggage at the homestay while we were staying in another town where we did our vulcano climbing hike (Gunung Merbabu in Selo).

Super place to stay. Perfect location on the slopes of the hills, calm and quiet, still close to Borobudur. You can rent a bicycle for free and explore surroundings, which I recommend! Free tea and coffee during the stay. Morning views on the volcanoes Merapi, Merbabu and Sumbing. Got a free drive to the town on my way back. Absolutely amazing!

Internet could be more stable.

The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing his insights. He even shared with me the fascinating design and history of the house.As a cultural researcher, I gained a wealth of valuable information from him. He also recommended numerous fascinating, lesser-known places that I hadn’t discovered before. I’ll definitely return. The breakfast is simple yet delicious.

We had a great time. The room was comfortable and clean. The host provided us with bicycles and a map of interesting places around the area. He also took us to a traditional dance show.

I had an amazing stay at this homestay! Everything was clean, room is big and the bed was comfy. I booked for 3 night, so one day to rest and the other day was to visit the temple but I extended for 2 more nights. Mostly because of Yudo, the owner, he is just amazing! First of all because he helped me with the ticket to Borobudur. Nowadays you need to book your ticket far in advance so I didnt had a ticket. But he helped me to get a ticket and luckily he got me a VIP ticket which made may trip to the temple 100 times better. He helped me not only with the tickets to the temple but also took me around the Borobudur area. We went to a tofu factory, pottery place, a place where you can make your own batik, to a coffee place up the mountain, the Selogriyo temple, a viewpoint for the Merapi volcano and a day trip to Dieng Plateau. This was by far one of the best places I stayed in Indonesia. Thank you so much for this unique experience!

Excellent place for getting out of the city or a base to Borobudur or the Volcanoes. Let me stash some of my stuff while climbing Sindoro

The windows don't have mosquito nets, but they gave us a spray what seemed to help because I have nearly no mosquito bites. I would just recommend closing the window shutters while having the room light on.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. If you want something or you have a question, they are going to do their best to help you out. I was sick when I stayed there, and they brought me tea that helps against throat sore . The location is a good place to stay when you want some quiet. You can borrow the owners bicycles to discover the area.

Quite basic, not a lot of natural light in the building unless doors are open, plug socket in bedroom hanging out of the wall.

Out of town, quiet, easy access to temples and surrounding villages. Hosts were amazing and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Due to the location of the homestay, food options are limited however hosts were extremely kind and went out to collect evening meals for us which were all delicious. Hosts Yudo and Fendi also offered to take us at 4:30am to see the sunrise from Barede hill over Borobudur temple. We had free use of the bicycles and were given a hand drawn map of the points of interest such as tofu and pottery villages. Free tea and coffee facilities and breakfast were provided and we were even given a lift with our bags to the bus station when leaving. Overall the accommodation is very basic however the hosts and surrounding area is what make this stay worth it, great for budget travellers wanting to get local insight.

No hot water

The area was very quiet & isolated. Perfect for a getaway. The host was a great source of local information & the whole of Indonesia. He went out of his way to get veggie food for me. Thank you

Don’t expect something fancy. The accommodation is plain but clean.

The owner and manager were such friendly and open people. They gave us a lot of good tips about the area according to what we were interested in. We felt very welcomed and cared about.

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.

A laid-back house with simple rooms, weak light bulbs and village flair. Nice sitting areas.

Lovely host. And good location.

Stayed in January 2025

very humid inside the room but you can basically sleep with the door open thats how safe and quiet it is ! i did not like the bright lightbulbs and thin curtains so you could not make the room very dark … shower room is extremely humid and dirty but there is hot water

location was awesome … you hear water running in the garden and mo trouble with traffic !

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.

breakfast was good with fresh boiled eggs.

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.

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.
