    Amazing hostel with good facilities, very friendly staff, and common areas where it’s very easy to meet other travellers! Enjoyed the location as well a bit off the main road and within walking distance of many nice restaurants and shops.

    Nothing!

    The staff were absolutely amazing, and even changed breakfast to suit me as a coeliac. Great location, felt safe and comfortable. Laundry service cheap and good. Room was comfortable, nice bed and pillows, but a small light or lamp would have made it a lot better. Air-conditioning worked well.

    The room wasn't sound proof at all so you could hear the comings and goings of everyon, although it didn't bother me too much. My biggest issue was that there was a strong fume smell in the bathroom when the air-conditioning was turned on. And there was no hot water for the shower. I would have really liked a small lamp.

    Staff are amazing, so involved and warm! The free breakfast program was a major plus. Hostel was very well designed, with natural sunlight coming in, which curated the peaceful and calming atmosphere :)

    I had an amazing stay at Backyard Hostel Yogyakarta! The staff were friendly and went out of their way to provide local tips and assistance. The location is also a major plus—it’s close to key attractions.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Backyard hostel! We extended from two nights to 4. :) The staff was lovely and helpful. Our private room was super clean and nice. We used the shared kitchen with a fridge and the possibility to make tea or coffee, really great! The shared space was clean and pleasant. We used the opportunity to order breakfast and we tried the local cuisine, so good! We also borrowed a scooter for two days. Everything worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

    It was a very cozy place and had a good atmosphere. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I would absolutely come back if I were in Yogyakarta again. There communal spaces were good and it was a social place. It had good AC and was clean. We really liked it here!😁

    There very no duvets, only blankets. Otherwise it was really nice!

    hi Isabella! Thanks so much for your quick review for us, we are also glad that you like to stay in THE BACKYARD HOSTEL. About the duvet...we have to be honest, if we put the duvet, it will be a 3 star hotel then we need to adjust the price higher. :) However, we keep noted for your feedback & consider it for our future plan investment. please comeback anytime :)

    Very nice, clean and quiet place in the backyards. We liked it very much also because host and staff are so nice and friendly. You can also rent motorbikes and do laundry directly there.
