Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel felt like a trip back in time with its traditional village house design but modern facilities. The rooms are spacious, clean, and come with a private spa building and swimming pool, though I did notice some red ants and issues with the towel hanger. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, providing amenities like mozzie repellant and stickers. The location offers breathtaking views and is conveniently close to Borobudur. The dining experience was excellent, with a wide variety of Indonesian and Western options available. The facilities are top-notch, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Staying at this hotel was like traveling back 30 years ago with its fantastic traditional village house-style rooms including individual swimming pools. The breakfast buffet was amazing and created a wonderful sense of peace and serenity, although some improvements in certain areas could enhance the overall experience.
Staying at this hotel felt like being in a little piece of heaven with fantastic wooden chalets offering full privacy. However, the location required climbing many steps and might not be suitable for the elderly.
I was lucky to be upgraded to a spa villa, which was very special and gorgeous. The room had a colonial feel with high ceilings and rotating fans, making it truly impressive. The overall experience was splendid, but there were some minor drawbacks to consider.
Staying at this hotel was like being in terminal 2 of the Jakarta airport. The rooms have huge picture windows that look out towards the Borobudur temple, just visible over the tropical jungle. They feel like wooden chalets with full privacy and are equipped with all the extra bits and pieces you would expect from a hotel, including a safe, tea-making facilities, minibar, and toiletries. The service was very hospitable and professional, making our stay very pleasant. The location offers an upgrade to the Executive Suite, ensuring privacy and a variety of facilities to make the most out of a visit to Borobudur in a relaxed way. However, the location, although based on an old colonial property, also required navigating many steps, which might be challenging for elderly guests. The dining experience was nice, with both Western and Indonesian options available, though it was a bit sparse and lacked protection from sun, warm temperatures, and flies. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and discomfort. The historic ambiance of the rooms provided a unique experience, but the low-hanging wooden structures could be a hazard, especially for tall individuals. The location offered beautiful views of Borobudur temple but faced issues with getting wet easily. The service was impeccable, with helpful staff willing to assist with express laundry at a reasonable cost.
The hotel's rooms were more than luxurious, set cottage-style in lovely gardens, like being in terminal 2 of the Jakarta airport. However, the lack of USB plugs meant needing the power charger for phones. The service was top-notch, with really friendly and excellent service, and the location was stunning, ideal for visiting Borobudur but might not be recommended for the elderly due to the steps. The dining experience was superb, overlooking Borobudur, with a variety rarely found elsewhere. The facilities were great for a memorable stay.
Staying at the hotel felt like being in Terminal 2 of the Jakarta airport, with impressive picture windows offering views of the Borobudur temple over the lush jungle. Despite initially dealing with noisy neighbors, I was provided with another room, which was well-appointed with a captivating view of the tree canopies.
My stay at the hotel was truly unforgettable. The executive villa with a private pool overlooking the mountains was simply breathtaking on our wedding evening. The room had all the extra bits and pieces you would expect from a hotel, including a safe, tea making facilities, minibar, and toiletries. However, the price for this luxurious experience was on the higher side.
Staying at the Royal Villa was like experiencing a little piece of heaven with its super fantastic rooms offering a beautiful view of Borobudur. The service was friendly and attentive, exceeding my expectations. The location was impeccable, providing easy access to Borobudur and stunning spa facilities. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety rarely found elsewhere. Overall, a luxurious and unforgettable stay that truly exceeded my expectations.
