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!

“Enriched my experience.”
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

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.

“This is a basic homestay but your stay here will 100% be enjoyable if you are happy to explore and emerse yourself in th”
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.

“Perfect for what I was looking for”
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

“Great host, great location and one of my favourite places to stay in Java.”
The host was very helpful and friendly. The location is gorgeous. It’s very family friendly and great to stay where you are surrounded by chickens, sheep and a tropical fruit garden.
