Pros:

The location is great, quite close to Borobudur Temple, lots of food nearby. The staff were nice and helpful. The room provided everything we needed for our short stay: clean and cool room, comfortable bed and pillow, clean bathroom and toilet. The villa we booked was right next to the swimming pool, which was very convenient. The pool was fantastic, very good size that allowed for serious lap swimming, not just for having fun. Breakfast was decent, the omelette was good.

Cons:

It can be a bit noisy at night due to its roadside location. Sound from people at the pool can be heard from the villa. On our first afternoon the hot water didn't work, so I had to have a cold shower. After I called the front desk, the staff said the gas for the heater was out so they had to fix that. Fortunately afterwards the hot water worked.

Great place for stay in Borobudur
Pros:

- amazing& supportive staff
- amazing, clean, available 24h swimming pool
- great breakfast
- proximity of streetfood (strongly recommend place SeaFood Borobudur - Ladies are serving amazing food, and they are really nice).

Please keep in mind that Indonesia is mostly muslim country, so may happen that if you’re light sleeper, than Muezzin will wake you up at 4:30AM with calling for prayers
Entrance to Borobudur temple has been moved some years ago, and it’s around 2kms away from hotel, not 400m as maps shows

Cons:

- hard mattresses
- close proximity to the street which in Indonesia means „noise”
- bit noisy airconditioning

Pros:

Magnifique hôtel, pur style indonésien, splendide piscine, très beau jardin. Et idéalement placé.

Cons:

La clim de la chambre 2 est à régler car trop bruyante. Nous l’avons signalé et le personnel nous a dit que ça allait être réglé. Seul ce petit point était un peu gênant. Le reste est extra.
