    It's like a little wood in the middle of a green town. The owner was exceptionally helpful. I appreciated the hammocks.

    The hostel was very clean and quiet at night, with beautiful surroundings. It was conveniently located right next to a restaurant, making meals easily accessible. The owner was exceptionally kind-he gave me a ride on his motorcycle to Borobudur Temple in the morning. When I checked out, he also took me to the local bus station on his motorcycle.

    Bit hard to find (look for overhead street sign !), the rest is great.

    Spacious and clean, with vintage wooden furniture. Got free upgrade to bungalow, so can't say for the actual room booked

    Very nice and helpful people。 Berman replied question very quick and gave enough information before and during my tour. He also helped me to arrange a half day motorcycle tour with an english speaking tour guide went through local residential places, It was an unforgettable trip。 Also these young men from Cafe/Restaurant are very nice and energetic. I enjoyed staying here and will come back again !

    This homestay is amazing, we didn’t want to leave! Is in front of the temple in very centre location but when you go inside the property you don’t listen any noise, so peaceful and calm! Perfect to relax in the beautiful common areas. The bedroom and the bathroom is also very comfortable and clean. And the owner so kind ! Thank you so much

    An amazing place surrounded by nature but only three minutes walk from the borobudur entrance. Berman and his sister were super friendly and welcoming. Very comfortable and clean room! Thank you so much 🙏

    Room was great size and bathroom had curtain between loo :) great location, there is a local Caffè run by same people with great coffee and food, when we arrived we asked for scooter rental, while we were having lunch and coffee the scooter was arranged and delivered to us. The host is very helpful and attending. Thank you

    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.

    Everything was perfect!

    We enjoyed our stay at Griyo Jagalan. The accommodation offers good connection of wifi, clean room, good shower with hot water, comfortable bed, air conditioner, close by Borobudur temple that can be reached by foot and good value for money. The host is really friendly and helpful. I highly recommended this place to anyone & I certainly will return to this place on my next visit to Borobudur.

    Berman, the owner is a super friendly person, he picked me up at the bus terminal, always attentive to my needs, he made me feel at home. The hotel is literally at the entrance to the Borobudur temple, you cross the street and there is the .entrance to the temple, less than 100 meters, I highly recommend it

    Beautiful cabin located in a garden with many plants and trees. Everything is made of wood and looks absolutely gorgeous. The cabin was clean and AC worked well. Our host Berman was also very nice and helpful, we could rent some bicycles to visit the countryside around. It was a great moment. The place is really next to Borobudur Monument, which was also very convenient.

    This was a homestay, not a resort... so sure, it wasn't sterile. not a negative point on my part... but I can't think of anything else to put here... :)

    Great location. it is hard to be closer to the temple than this. It is off the street so it is quite peaceful; the pin on maps is in the exact correct spot, though drivers might not know the place if they are not local. bikes were available for rent... these were in good shape and the price was reasonable.

    Not the property’s fault, but it’s very close to a mosque that broadcasts at very unsociable hours from its loudspeakers. It woke me up at 5:30am then continued to broadcast inane chanting and speeches for 90 mins until 7am!

    Great location less than 5 mins walk from the Borobudur temple entrance. Easy check in process and the room was spacious and clean, as was the en-suite bathroom. Very good value and friendly staff. Plenty of off street parking if you have a vehicle to park.
