“Beautiful and peaceful place”
I got a very beautiful room, I loved the homestay and the warmth of their people. Tomo is really helpful and nice person, he informs you about everything in the area and any thing you may need. I would stay there again. From there you can walk to some "Warung" and cafés, to some fields and have a peaceful walk around.

Cozy and comfortable place on a peaceful street near the Borobudur temple. The host and the family are very helpful and friendly - also with very professional standard. Great accommodation to arrive and the host to meet with after your journey through beautiful green scenery on the way from Yogya / airport.

“Very good”
I liked the location. The owners were very friendly and concerned about my stay. They guided me on what to see Borobundur, where to eat, and they also have bicycles to ride around. The room was clean and the bathroom was clean too. Perfect air conditioning. Traditional Indonesian breakfast and very delicious.

“Amazing homestay in the heart of Borobudur!”
Lovely family run homestay! Within walking distance to Borobudur Park but still off the Main Street so super quiet and peaceful. Definitely try the jumbo fried tempe place next door! Delicious home cooked breakfast and also a tea and coffee station. Hosts were very helpful and welcoming, and provided us information about visiting Borobudur. They helped us organise a private driver. Would highly recommend!!
