“Very relaxed homestay.”

I felt at home staying here - the hosts are lovely. Simple facilities but has everything you need. WiFi was great - had video calls for work with no issue.

First of, Banyu Kasongan located in a desa in Bantul is a good respite for travelers who wants to escape the main city. The desa is serene and peaceful. Surrounded by local artisans from pottery, handcraft rattan goods and statue makers. The location is close to local mini marts and a cafe. The hosts also allows you to cook for yourself but of cos you've to clean up after yourself. The property is guarded by 3 cats with unique personalities – haven for cat lovers! Anin & Angel are lovely hosts and would have a chat with guests over coffee and breakfast. They cooked me lunch on my last day before I checked out. The facilities are basic but sufficient. The room is ventilated by a window and a small fan. No water heater in the shower but that's fine for me. This is something you need to consider if hot shower is a must for you. The alternative option is to boil hot water for your showers. Overall as a first time guest, I fell in love with area, the hospitality and the people around the desa. Definitely great for a stay and with strong Wifi connection, you can get work done too if needed. I'll be coming back for future stays in I want to spend more time in Bantul. Thank you Anin & Angel!
