Reviews of Happy Buddha Yogyakarta 2 stars

Very nice place, the room was cosy and the common area so comfortable. The place is quiet and very clean. You can rent a scooter there and they are very helpful and give the best recommandations on any subject.

The mosque just next to the homestay means you ca be woken up during the night but with earplugs we slept very well

Our stay at Buddha Hostel was amazing! The room was completely fine. The common areas were very cozy and unique (a beautiful kitchen, an indoor and outdoor bathroom, and many different chill spots). The owner, Ardi, was incredibly friendly and sociable. He is always open for a talk, giving tips, and more. It’s located close to the busy but very lively Prawirotaman street, yet because the hostel is situated in a quiet side street, it’s very peaceful inside—except for the mosque prayers, but you hear those throughout the whole city anyway. A real recommendation!

The atmosphere and the receptionist were great!

Nothing, all was excellent

RD is the most helpful and generous hostel host that I have met.

Great for a long stay! Different chill out/common areas, comfortable private rooms and bathrooms, good AC. Ardi is a darling host and was able to recommend activities in Jogja and elsewhere in Java. I’d stay here again!

Nothing, suited me just fine. Noise from the mosque doesn’t bother me :)

Location, vibe and people are unmatched. Happy Buddha is down a smaller side street, providing some calm and peace, yet super close to bars and restaurants making it easy to pop out and be right where you want to be. Ardie and everyone working there are incredibly friendly and welcoming, there is always someone around to have a chat with but there are also chill spaces if you want to have a bit of alone time. It’s the perfect place for a solo traveler, so easy to meet other travellers as well as locals. The location is also super safe. I highly recommend!

Genuinely couldn’t think of a bad thing to say.

Amazing common rooms with great style, kitchen and free water, great price, fairly quiet but really central in a nice neighborhood with nice restaurants.

I had room seven, which has a bad smell. Don't know where it comes from (maybe under bed - please check, it's not pleasant). Maybe add a mosquito net and a small reading lamp is always nice. Main bathroom could use a deep clean but otherwise everything great...

Everything was perfect!

Nothing.

Stayed in the double room for 2 nights. The hostel is located in the center near the stores and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable, with AC and reliable WiFi. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We felt safe at the accommodation at all times and the host let us store our bags and hang out at the hostel for a few hours as we were waiting for our train that was leaving at midnight.

Nothing.

Great location, comfortable bed and great staff, Ardi was super helpful and friendly, plus the prices are super affordable.

Stayed for 4 nights around the start of Eid. Communal spaces are nice and we spent most of one day in the hammocks. Ardi is a lovely man and a kind host. Free earplugs because of nearby mosque! Didn’t like the welcome from a large cockroach in our bedroom upon arrival. Bathroom looks dirty. Nothing a deep clean couldn’t fix but also the extractor fan for the bathroom does not work. Communal kitchen is handily supplied with complimentary noodles and breakfast cereals with milk in the fridge, but the general cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Spotted cockroach number 2 behind sink on 3rd day, confirming hygiene concerns. Overall, value for money is not great. It’s a backpacker hostel with access to area with western food places and bars. Maybe we are too old!!

Very nice host, cozy place and good location

All was good

The owner is great, really friendly and gives you recommendations about what to do. The room is nice and comfortable. There's also a kitchen where you can make yourself coffee, breakfast, ...

Super friendly and loved the laid back vibe

The inside shower needs a good clean and the kitchen also, the room was very hot

It’s exactly what they offer, our bedroom was cleaned and comfy and everything worked.

Can't get enough to see this lovely small place, beautiful surroundings by the greeneries and local life. Plants decorations are best. You'll feel like in your own home. Tiny gazebo was great idea to chill and relax after your full day trip. Hammock at the front was the cutest. You'll not find this anywhere else. The staff were great by explaining anything at this hostel. Coffee amenities are free, great idea for those who love to have a coffee in the morning time. Was great service in a budget hostel. Cool place!

You'll hear the call prayers often, moreover in early morning time. But this things are very normal in a moslem country. The bed is noisy during our sleep movement. I can't imagine for the couple who have s*x, more noisy I believe. The lady who handled my check out was having a flat face, I gave the key without any word something or just because I am local, have no idea.But while treated the white person, she was giving the different service. I saw the difference. Totally alright for my experience in Indonesia, I fly back to the UK soonest. Overall was Fabolous. Thanks

The host Ardi is superkind and he creates a wonderful atmosphere.

Very lovely staff which made us feel right at home, location was very good. A lot of restaurants in the Area.

It was a bit nosy but nothing a pair of earbuds could not fix
