    All pictures are True, But we were surprised it was in a basic street. Between normal residents. Nothing wrong. But I was expecting from the photo a different environment. One curtain was not really stopping from looking inside. Our privacy was compromised a bit. We put up an extra blanket. Overal, nothing to worry about. Just our view and remarks.

    The Room is big. The one bed was harder then other. I prefer the harder one. Shower was clean. Good water temperature. Surprised by the sound from outside. Very little. Food breakfast was good and well enough.

    not the fault of the guest house, it is Ramadan so at 0345 everyday several mosques all have the call to prayer. And also in the evening. So sleep disrupted. The hot water doesnt always work.

    The family are so kind and helpful. The mum makes the most wonderful omelette.

    Excellent hosts, warm welcome and departure, lovely breakfast, provided lots of useful info. They are very discrete, you'll only see them if you need them... house is modern and maintained to a very high standard. Location is ideal, walking distance to town centre and many of the local attractions, and just a few minutes drive from some of the hills where you can get excrllent views of the volcanoes.

    Great guesthouse! The rooms are small but comfortable, and the homemade breakfast was delicious. Free coffee & tea was a nice touch. Wifi worked very well. the owner gave me a ride to Borobudur Temple because the entrance was moved by the government a couple of months ago to a place that it's a lot further away. Still think this is a great location to explore other places in and around Borobudur.

    The owner is very accommodating and their food is very delicious. You can order to them lunch / dinner for only 20,000 RP per meal. Their souvenirs is much cheaper than in Borobudur Temple. You can rent a bicycle for 50,000 RP for 1 Day. Truly A home away from home :) Thank you for very warming welcome to us ❤️

    No hot water but that's pretty standard for the area, and it's hot enough that I didn't mind.

    The room was very clean and tidy. Aircon worked well. Comfy bed. Traditional breakfast was delicious. They sorted out a taxi for me. Good location to get to the temple.
