Reviews of Laura's Backpacker 523

Laura’s backpackers was amazing, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are good and the staff are amazing! Laura comes by every night to give some recommendations and talks to people. The hostel gave me a real family feeling since it’s so easy to meet people. I think this has been the most sociable hostel i’ve ever been in. Don’t doubt between the other hostel, come here. You can also rent some scooters at the reception for a good price.

Nice staff and good position.

There are no lockers, so the room could be a mess!!!

Good location Good food Price is really cheap People are nice there and helpful

The bed's curtains are too small When people goes in and out of the bedroom its really noisy

Laura is the most useful person I’ve met so far. The breakfast and dinner are very delicious and the nice common area is perfect for socializing and making new friends. Laura was always kind enough to help us with any information we needed.

Very good location, 5 min from the train station and 15 min from main station. For this money they included nice breakfast and very good dinner, super good price. Owner and her sister are super friendly, they told many interesting stories about Jogja and Indonesia. In hostel stays a lot of intereating people from whole world. I got some new good friends. Happy and highly recommend this place. And Jogja so authentic stay in my heart for a long time.

The staff are very welcome and friendly. They care about the guests. Breakfast and dinner are provided, and be quick to enjoy it unless you run out of it. Hehe

None of it.

N/A

I've never stayed anywhere with so many mosquitoes, with such uncomfortable beds in such a crap location. Do not stay here, it may be cheap but it comes with a price. Oh, and grab cars won't go down the road it's on, the staff are only there half the time and there is only one nice/competent receptionist.

Nicer vibe at the hostel. Free breakfast and dinner. Very easy to socialize. You just sit down at the big table and suddenly you have friends. Laura comes in every evening during dinner, and helps with travel tips, bookings, where to do my nails etc. Nice staff, slept well in my bed.

Would have been nice with a lamp near my bed

The hostel is located 10/15 min walking from Malioboro street/train station and 25 min from the main attractions in Jogja. Dinner and breakfast were included in the price: they were pretty simple but delicious, especially the tempe! Dinner is served in the cozy common area where it’s so easy to get along with other travellers, which made the stay at Laura’s special. Laura is a great host and she’s always ready to give the best tips to explore Jogja and surroundings the best way. Totally recommendeded!!

8 people dorm is a little bit small but totally aligned with price

Amazing, friendly people and good food included. Laura gave us really preacious suggestions about traveling in indonesia for our next stops.

The bed was comfy and the hostel is in a good location. The breakfast and the dinner were delicious. I would also like to highlight that Maria at the reception was very helpful when I got into a difficult situation.

Good vibes, shared dinner

Clean, comfortable, nice staff

almost nothing

Pretty much everything, the environment is a proper backpacker style , full of young travelers happy to share space, very good space organising . Clean and decent toilet , compy bed and free breakfast and dinner are courtesy .could be a 10 see below why I did not.

Only one bad point , I saw a live wild animal I think a piton used to entertain the guest , I did not get involved in the species argument ,but personally I did not like it , I love animals in the bush ,in freedom. See animals , especially when they are iconic wild like snakes used as a "mascot " is a bit sad. Isn't anything bad for the hostel , the snake was not free and all the other guests were liking it, I think they asked to see and touch it. It is probably like a pet of the owner or someone in touch with the hostel and it was not mistreated at all , if passing hands by hands is cool for the poor snake, getting used to it is not proving that it is liking it. Lo

Ambience and the staff are friendly.

So far nothing.
