Borobudur

At the guest house, units come with a outdoor furniture. With a private bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower and free toiletries, units at the guest house also feature free WiFi. All units at the guest house feature air conditioning and a desk. I absolutely loved this place, it was fabulous. Very kind stuff who prepare personalised meals and help with everything. I loved the room as well looking out at the rice fields and the option to use bikes. Absolutely recommend this place! Ohh, and can see Borobudur temple from the breakfast table, amazing!

All three units at this property include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. The breakfast is included in the price, lunch and dinner can be ordered at a surcharge. Every room offers views of the sea and the mountain. Each en-suite bathroom includes a hot water, pressure shower, a flushing toilet, a sink and complimentary handmade shampoo and body wash. It truly was a floating Paradise! We loved every single minute of it. Nothing around you, cannot get more relaxing, crystal clear water, fish & coral reef as part of your view. The sound of the water under your feet … it was my husband’s birthday and I wanted something special for him, this was an amazing experience for both. Extremely clean, Bathroom was beautiful and comfortable! The host went far and beyond to help us short notice on the return ticket for the ferry, we will be always thankful for that 🙏.

The deluxe rooms i took a peak in had beautiful bathrobes. When i spoke to the owner turns out he sells them and my friend and i bought two different patterns. I’m in love with mine! They have wonderful soap too which smells like heaven! Such a special place to stay! Bobbi, thank you! a true gem of a property!!!

44 Guest House Syariah

Purwokerto

Featuring mountain views, 44 Guest House Syariah features accommodation with balcony, around 21 km from Owabong. The property features city views and is 42 km from Mount Slamet. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and parking on-site. Guesthouse 44 was my second home for a week in Purwokerto. The room was not spacious, but it had all necessary appliances and good air conditioning. A double room was just enough for my luggage, so I suggest if you travel with a partner, get a bigger room, the price is really affordable. The bathroom might surprise you, because it has no sink, just a shower, and no mirror, which is somewhat inconvenient. The room was sparkling clean, the bed sheets and the towels smelled amazing, it was regularly cleaned and supplied with bottled water every day. As a foreigner, you might get some special treatment, as the managers are really caring and put in a lot of effort to be of best service. The breakfast is abundant, if you don't like the local style, they'll prepare you some pancakes, omelette and steamed vegetables, so as to make sure you don't go out hungry. It is a good idea to bring some small present for the lady and her husband who run the hotel (they are about 60) - it will make their day. At their place you will surely feel as a part of a big family. Please bear in mind, that although the hotel is near the city center, you cannot walk in Purwokerto, since the streets are bustling with cars and motorcycles and there are no sidewalks for pedestrians. Walking is really dangerous, so better take a taxi. And speaking of taxies, I can recommend this nice young taxi driver in Jakarta, working for the Bluebird company, who speaks perfect English and is a very honest and helpful person: +62 852-1258-2235 (Willy). You may contact him on WhatsApp in advance, and he'll pick you up at the airport, without an extra fee. I had to bargain with many taxi drivers when I arrived in Jakarta in order to get an almost fair price, while this one trusts his meter, so no need to worry. Good luck with your adventure!

Nia Maretta House Syariah

Magelang

The guest house comes with a flat-screen TV. Housekeeping service is also available.

Malioboro Mall is 45 km from the guest house, while Yogyakarta Presidential Palace is 46 km away. The nearest airport is Adisutjipto Airport, 49 km from Nia Maretta House Syariah. In 10 days of traveling around Java I had not stayed in a place that was so nice to be inside. The room was terrifically clean, the size ample, the air conditioner worked well, there was hot water, and a nice porch out front. My only suggestion would be to place a wall mounted electric fan on the front porch so that guests can be outside more comfortably

Loyal friend hostel karimunjawa

Karimunjawa

Located in Karimunjawa in the Central Java region, with Nirwana Beach and Pancuran Beach nearby, Loyal friend hostel karimunjawa provides accommodation with free private parking. The property features sea views. Guests can make use of a terrace.

The nearest airport is Ahmad Yani International Airport, 165 km from the guest house. We've spent few days at the place. The highlight is the host Jawe. Always smiling. Laid back. If you need anything - organizing snorkling, washing clothes, renting a scooter, finding great food spots, beaches... he's the right guy to ask. He even can find a place to fix your broken sandal :D Jawe is also proactive - he pinged me and helped me navigate the tricky schedule of boats when I was struggling to figure out if there is a boat on Thursday. He reached out, found out the details. When I wasn't able to book via app he has sent my way to use due to some app limitations, he found the guy in Japara to take care of it. On top of all he's a nice guy and a Master Chef cook! :P
