Omah Guyub

1. 屋子很有特色，木頭與竹建材，也很通風

كانت إقامتي في Omah Guyub رائعة جدًا! شعرت كأنني في بيتي. المكان مريح ونظيف، والموظفون لطفاء جدًا ومتعاونون دائمًا. تجربة جميلة وسأعود بالتأكيد إن شاء الله. 🌿💫

Le contact avec Andy, sa femme et son frère. Plus que le lieu, pittoresques et créé par Andy de manière artisanale dans les traditions javanaises (douches extérieures à l’eau froide, chambres ouvertes sur l’extérieur…) qui crée un charme unique, c’est le contact avec des gens entiers et généreux qu’il faut retenir. Merci Andy pour ce moment merveilleux que j’ai passé chez toi avec mes trois filles!!

A soulful and unforgettable stay at Omah Guyub

From the moment I arrived, Omah Guyub felt like more than just a guest house - it was a gateway into the heart of Javanese culture, music, community, and slow living. The beautifully crafted wooden architecture is only the beginning; what truly makes this place special are the people who bring it to life.

Each day was filled with connection, healing, creativity, and inspiration from shared meals and conversations with Andy, his family and friends. I felt welcomed me not just as a guest, but as part of a community.

Terima kasih, Omah Guyub - you'll always have a place in my heart

Such a unique experience. Definitely made our stay in Yogyakarta memorable.

Much comfier than I anticipated, and had no problems with the shared bathroom. Bed was comfy.

Andy, the owner, is AWESOME. Such a hospitable, genuine and caring guy. Answered all our questions & more.

We ended up extending our stay. Also you can’t beat the price!

L’hôte Andy était très sympathique, l’endroit est très beau et tout convient parfaitement! Merci à Andy et sa famille pour l’accueil

I lived there for three weeks alone in the upper "room" with the Hammock and the Garuda-Head. In March there were no other guests, so I had this place for two weeks to myself. In good weather conditions it was exactly as I expected it. It is a totally different experience of living without concrete walls, as I am used to in Germany. I really felt like being free. I also felt like living in close contact with nature. The bed was also unexpectedly comfortable, though it is right on the ground. The place has two communal bathrooms. One has a concreted floor, but no lavatory flush. So you flush it the classical Asian way with a bucket, which I somehow really like. The other has no plain floor, but is covered with loose stones. So it somehow has a rustic charme and there are spider webs. On the other hand it has a real lavatory flush. I really love this place, though there are some negative points. Anyway, as the owner Andy told me, all of this was hand-made. You can really see how the owner put his creative lifeblood in this location. I was also welcomed to use the kitchen. In the beginning I only cooked Instant Noodles, because I didn't know how to make a meal in the Indonesian way. Then he showed me how to cook Noodles with some vegetables. From then on I would make such a meal every morning. As I would do my own dishes, they let me use the kitchen very freely. In the meantime they also adopted me into the family and Andy and I became friends. He is, as also I am, interested in music. But he was more interested in my Hard/Heavy music than I was in his violin-pointed music. It was also a very interesting time as they also told me a lot about culture. Before I had almost no contact with Islam. Then also Andy brought me to an evening prayer once. All of them were also very endeavoured to make my stay as comfortable as possible. They are also very open-minded.

I had no expectations at first, but after arriving at the hostel, my thoughts completely changed. The owner, Andy, is an incredible man—respectful, honest, humble, and kind. He is truly hospitable and always helpful. On my third day, he took us to a waterfall, giving me an unforgettable experience. I also had the chance to see how coconuts are collected and meet local people. Plus, if you play a musical instrument, you'll find plenty of different ones to enjoy. I’m so happy with my stay that I give this hostel a 10 out of 10!

If you are looking for a place where you can feel as a part of the indonesian family, go here. The room is opened to air and life, so no A/C, just mosquito nets and steep climb to your room - it´s like a little jungle house in the town :) What makes the stay special is Andy and his family, with all the crafts, music and friendliness you can imagine!

Very unique place to stay in Yogyakarta. Won't find another place like this!! Open air rooms leave you waking up feeling refreshed. The family who own it are super friendly. The location is not bad it's a half an hour walk into the centre. Located off the main Street down a small alleyway. Although you cannot lock your room it seems like a very safe and friendly neighborhood.

This is the best homestay in Yogyakarta! The hosts, Pak Andy and his family, are musicians and artists, with a wealth of knowledge and involvement in the local art and music scene. I also found them to be quite environmentally conscious with a deep love for nature. During our visit I meet one of the other guests staying here, whom, I found out, had stayed with Pak Andy at his guesthouse 15 years ago. This is more than a guest house, it is very much a home!
I highly highly recommend staying at Omah Guyub Home stay - or even, check out Omah Guyub 2.

We had a very pleasant stay at Omah Guyub. There was a very warm welcome from Andy upon arrival. Easy to find with the instructions that were given to us. Room and bed were very comfortable. We fell asleep to a wonderful music session by his daughter and her friends that night, and we were woken up by the sound of birds in the morning. Andy was very kind and helpful and we had really nice conversations. We would definitely stay here again!

Andy and his family were wonderful. The place is made with reused wood carved panels, plants everywhere, and it is very beautiful. The rooms are open to the exterior, but there are mosquito nets if you ask.

Omah Guyub is the best place for staying in a traditional house and natural, eco and budget friendly enviroment,but also close to the city fascilities. The charming, simply wooden houses with all their little details tell about javanese philosophy. Andy is a great host and friend, an amazing musician as well. You can ask him about anything, he has a lot of connections with the local communities and happy to assist you with any kind of request of yours. You can cook with him and his community, sing together your songs, or listen to stories about javanese wisdom. A real local experience for those,who want to dig deaper in the cultural layers, or those who want to experience the joyfulness of the every day life of art communities in South Jogjakarta. Highly recommended!

I really like it because it is very unique
