The place is extremely quiet, everyone is friendly and supportive on whatever you need, especially the director. The location is near the temples and sunrise view points. The breakfast is very generous and delicious (you can order from the breakfast menu). Also the restaurant is high quality for a very convenient price and you have a nice view to the river. The bungalow is very comfortable as well as the bed. They staff clean the room very well.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The host and family were very friendly and helpful. Very close to Borobudur. The host helped with an early morning ride to go get tickets and also had bikes to get to and from the temple. Siska even told us how much it would cost to park the bicycles which was extremely helpful when bartering with the attendant. We still paid tourist prices but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it could’ve been. She also assisted us with organizing our visit to Prambanan and onward, as well as provided us some options for seeing the rest of the sites we wanted to on Java. The food was delicious, the bed comfy and the location perfect. We would stay again.

This is an amazing place if you want to immerse yourself into local culture. The host family was extremely helpful and provided me with lots of local experiences and ideas. If possible ask the host to help you with a ride to the airport or your next destination. I did and he was more of a local tour than transport. Can’t recommend this family enough.

Very nice homestay, with excellent owners who were very accommodating and helpful during my stay. Excellent tradition local breakfast every day, they were helpful with lending me a scooter to visit Borobudur . It was a peaceful village outside the main tourist attraction surrounded by rice fields and vegetables farms. They even took me to a local tofu facility to see how they produced some excellent soy. They made me feel like it was my home also, can’t say enough about their kindness.

The accomodation is a homestay, she have diferent kind of rooms and different prices. we stayed in the "economic room", which is basic, but the price is very low, with breakfast! Very clean, towels and blanket smell very nice. The hostesses are super welcoming and friendly. Local and good breakfast. Very good location, near Alun Alun Square.

Great place in a small alley off the main road. Quiet and comfy rooms. Hot showers, a need in Dieng, although the gas heaters may not always be reliable. Ibu Fortuna is kind and helpful. Dieng is a great place if you are interested in old Javanese culture and weird volcanic phenomena. Don't forget to hike up the hills a bit and be amazed by the rich variation in vegetables that are grown here. Or further up a path that starts close to the homestay and goes all the way up Prau Mountain spectacular (and a clear path).

If you want a beautiful and authentic travel experience, stay at Ruma Desa Homestay!! Most tourists visit Prambanan as a day trip from Yogyakarta, but if you stay closeby you can really take your time exploring all of the temples in the area (The property is 700 metres from Candi Prambanan). We had some of the temple complexes completely to ourselves! Prambanan is also a really nice community to spend a few days in and Hany & Wibowo were exceptional hosts who looked after our every need.

Ika und Yanni are exceptionally nice people and made my stay truly memorable. They helped me with everything. Ika even accompanied me to the temple and gave me some first-hand information. Moreover he did a bicycle tour with me and showed me a mushroom and honey manufacture and also took me on his motorbike to Candi Mendut. The breakfast was delicious and every afternoon I got coffee and sweets. The homestay is in walking distance to the temple and city centre.

I had a great stay at Griyo Jagalan. Friendly Mr Berman and his mum take good care of the room. It was very clean and comfortable. It is homestay in a little fruit orchard. I didn't see any mosquitoes. This is the nearest homestay to the main gate of Borobudur. Yes. NEAREST.
