Reviews of Blue Garden Yogyakarta

The staff were outstanding – Robert (who’s not the owner) and his team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, helped us organize trips at fair prices, and even provided free bikes. He was very respondent and always available. The location in the middle of the rice fields is beautiful, and the homemade food, while simple, was fresh and tasty with authentic Indonesian flavors.

The property felt older and less maintained than expected. Cleaning could have been better, the AC and TV remotes didn’t work properly, and the fridge in the room was very noisy at night. It can also be quite loud with several mosques nearby and a generator pumping water for the rice fields (when there is a lack of rain), which made it hard to relax by the pool. Also you need to take into account that farmers make wildfires and that the smoke can come to the homestay.

Beautiful gardens , quiet and peaceful. The owner and his wife are lovely People. They grow a lot of fruit and vegetables and try to be as sustainable as possible. Extremely helpful as well. Thank you for showing me around your garden, picking and eating fruit and offering me cuttings of your plants to grow back home . That was very nice of you . This is a Great place to take some days out to just relax and to visit the temples, caves and much more .There is a restaurant on site and also nice restaurants and good amenities near by. Use grab and you can get to wherever you like I will see you one day again in the future .thank you

It can be noisy with prayers and farm animals very early mornings but ear plugs are provided . I am fine with this but some guests may not be so to future guests please remember you aren't in the main city, you are in a village.

Perfect stay at Blue Garden. I strongly recommend this place, not in the city, in the middle of nature. Robert is the perfect guest who helped us a lot for organising tours. The restaurant is open at night, service is perfect !

The manager was very friendly and went above and beyond to look after us. The pool area was a lovely place to relax and the views across the rice paddies were magical.

I'll learn to love the 4.30am call to prayer!

Garden and the swimming pool view are beautiful!

Room was smelling a bit mushy, sometimes there was little water pressure in the bathroom/shower.

Really nice host, beautiful garden and pool, good food, very helpful staff...

The bathroom did not have enough ventilation, things did not dry there

The owner was very nice and friendly we really enjoyed the stay

I really enjoyed my stay at Blue Garden Yogyakarta. The property is set in a beautiful garden with a large pool and offers a great view of the surrounding rice fields, which creates a very calm and peaceful atmosphere. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, always available to assist with any questions or needs. Their warm and welcoming attitude made the stay feel personal and comfortable. The location is quiet, perfect for relaxing, but still not too far from the city center—with a scooter, it only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the center area of Yogyakarta. My room was spacious, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Everything was clean and well maintained. The on-site restaurant serves good breakfast and dinner, with a decent selection of dishes at reasonable prices. The team also helped me organize a day tour of Yogyakarta’s main sights, including Borobudur, Prambanan, and Tamansari, which was well arranged and very enjoyable. All in all, Blue Garden is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a mix of nature, comfort, and good hospitality. I’d gladly come back!

Loved the ambience of the place, the architecture, the placement of the rooms, the open-ended lot with the view of the rice fields and that the family managing the property were super welcoming and gave excellent service.

There is nothing negative to say about this place.

The setting

The bedding, linen and pillows as the quality wasn’t good.

Great, comfy rooms with a beautiful garden and excellent service. It’s very quiet and a bit away from the city but great for relaxing.

Amazing location, close to the city but surrounded by lush rice paddies and jungle-topped hills

Robert was very helpful and super responsive! My room was comfortable. I enjoyed the peaceful location outside the city. You can order food by Grab so it’s not an issue to be outside the city center. The driver who picked me up from the airport and took me around to the temples was really great!

It was a little rough around the edges. I’m not sure if this was because I was the only guest at the time, but the pool area wasn’t very inviting (lounge chairs and cushions weren’t set up; no umbrellas). It wasn’t really like the pictures in that regard, which made it look like a nice place to relax. Again maybe this was just because I was the only person at the property at the time and they were short staffed for the holiday, but I was a paying guest all the same… For the price I have stayed in more luxurious places in other places in Indonesia so this hotel was a little disappointing honestly. Overall it was fine but I had expected better.

Wonderful garden, beautiful villa and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended. Manager was super helpful and always helped and responded to our queries before the trip and during our stay.

All was very good.

Relaxing garden and swimming pool. Beautiful sunsets. The room is nicely decorated and the bathroom is really spacious. Very friendly staff. We could use a free late check-out on our last day because we were sick. Robert was very helpful and checking in the days before how we were doing.

The bed was a little too soft for our liking and we missed some parasols to create shade for the beds at the swimming pool. But still a nice place to relax!

Tasty varied and plentiful breakfast options. Stack of banana pancakes and coffee great start to the day. Peaceful beautiful garden, pool and view over rice fields. Helpful friendly host and staff team and lots to do.

Nothing i didn't like. I love hearing the call to prayer but others may not? Wifi could be a bit on and off in my room but fine elsewhere.

The room was very comfortable and stylish. The garden setting was beautiful and the pool was well maintained and in a lovely setting.

The property was quite a distance to the centre of town and airport. My taxi driver was excellent however this added to costs for a solo traveller.

Peaceful nights and wonderful breakfast by the pool. I loved my morning coffee at the traditional java style pavilion by the pool with rice fields and hills view. Breakfast options that was offered was an excellent idea. I gotta try traditional Javanese style breakfast, French and English style breakfast, and even ordered other menus that’s not on the book. Pak Robert and the staffs were very helpful. He knows the city extremely well and has list of places he recommended and knows how to get me there.

The staff were lovely. The couple who run it were incredibly helpful. They helped with organising taxis and advising on trips. The gardens were clean and tidy and there was a nice pool. Breakfasts choices were limited but there was always plenty of it.

Our room needed a bit of tlc. The television wasn't working. I had to request an extension lead so that we could plug in one of the bedside lights (the owner promptly found one for us). The room was ready for a bit of a refurbishment.
