Good
Pros:

The room was really comfortable, and the hotel is surrounded by lots of food places and mini marts, so it was super easy to find food just by walking around

Other than that, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good service 👍

Cons:

There were a few things missing. A basic thing like a hair dryer should’ve been provided, but there wasn’t one in the room. Another thing is the room lock system from inside.. you still need to use the physical key even when locking/unlocking from inside the room. I think this could be inconvenient during emergencies like a fire or anything unexpected while sleeping, because it may slow people down from getting out quickly

Pros:

The pool area was lovely and the room spacious and clean

Cons:

The restaurant wasn't open so we always had to go out for food. The hotel couldn't assist us at all with getting a driver to take us to sunset but the hotel across the street were so helpful with everything even though we didn't stay there. We did have every meal and drinks there though

Good place to stay near Borobudur
Pros:

Location was great about 1 km to Borobudur Temple.
Room was clean and comfortable, the house keeping was great.
Pool was clean and wide, deep about 1.2 m for adult and about 0.8 m for child.
Wide parking lot.

Cons:

The receptionist didn't recognize that we were from 18 to 21 March, because it is in 2 separate booking.
It was because the same room type wasn't available n they change in booking.com then available :(

The 3rd day, again, the other reception think we will check out. :(
I don't think there's more unpleasant feeling than feel being kicked. We stayed 4 nights.

During check in, we reserved ala carte breakfast to be ready on 19 at 7am, coz we will go on VW Trip at 8am.
It wasn't ready until 7:40 and the waitress keep saying "because it is in a sudden" :(

I think the management need an upgrade; seems they are not used to receiving more than 2 days guest.

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.
