It is so beautiful, so unique! Rooms were clean, staff was kind, breakfast was delicious. Nobody asked if we were married. We absolutely loved it ❤️

I really loved everything about this place. The hostess Neni is just so welcoming, helpful and sweet! I couldnt sleep because of jetlag and she gave me a diffuser and three different essential oils to relax at night, along with a long note giving me plenty of advice to sleep well. The whole staff is lovely. The atmosphere is magical. A big thank you to everyone. And i hope to see you next year!

Since the clientele is more Western, it would be more appropriate to offer one or two Western dishes for breakfast.

A typical Indonesian structure, symmetrically furnished and meticulously maintained. A perfect blend of nature. The staff is very accommodating.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. We booked last minute, as we'd had a bad experience somewhere else and needed somewhere in the city quickly. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and cannot do enough for you. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable. There is a central courtyard between the rooms where you can relax or work, and a drinks/snack area that is kept topped up with delicious treats all day and night. Breakfast was superb, and as a vegetarian this is probably the best choice of food I have had since travelling in Indonesia. The laundry service was quick and reasonably priced. Absolutely no complaints about anything. When I come back to Yogyakarta I will not go anywhere else. And if you like gelato, don't miss Tempo Gelato which is about 5 minutes walk away.

This is a beautifully decorated and designed guesthouse. On a side road off the Main Street. A couple of coffee shops on the street and plenty of eateries on the Main Street about 2-300m away.

We would have liked brewed coffee, but you can't have everything.

What a great stay we have been traveling for 2 months and this might have been the best place. The staff was great, breakfast was wonderful, the house was beautiful. Really was pretty perfect. Thank you.

Nothing. We had an amazing stay here

Rumah Jawa was an oasis of calm from the busy city. The staff were so kind and attentive that it felt like home from home. Breakfast was outstanding and there was a fresh supply of drinks and snacks available every day..Cleanliness was impeccable. Laundry service excellent. The local Grab taxis were so cheap we could easily get anywhere from our base of Rumah Jawa. We would wholeheartedly recommend it.

The best place I’ve stayed in across Java. Admittedly i’m a backpacker so have stayed in mixed places, however for the price point of approx £25 a night this place was extremely luxurious. Super clean and lovely place with great ambience with the koi ponds. The family running the place are extremely kind and generous. The breakfast they fixed for me each morning was mind blowing and very generous. Please do read the house rules regarding unmarried couples etc before booking though, as it is by islamic rules. As a solo traveller i didn’t have any issue.

Zilch, nada, niente, rien, nichts, nothing.

Many others have commented, but everything actually is perfect. I rarely give 10/10, but everything from the welcome, service, the staff, the bed (soft but not too soft), the room, the cleaning, the ambience to the breakfast and the price was fabulous. A home from home and I will without a doubt return. You really have to go to experience it... And a special thanks for a truly yummy packed breakfast for the temple tour and for finding lost cards in the room without any fuss.

The Rumah Jawa is just the place I needed to come home to and relax. It's close enough to comfortably reach the station, landmarks and restaurants, but also in a relatively quiet area of Jogja. The staff is super accommodating and was helpful with some tips, which made my stay all the more valuable.

The most exquisite and delightful place I have stayed in a long time. It was beautiful and incredibly clean and the stuff were fabulously helpful.

There was sometimes an odd smell from the back of the room

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help. Really lovely setting with space to sit outside, free ginger tea and snacks. Comfortable bed. The breakfast was amazing!

We slept next to the laundry room which caused some noise during the evening.

The location is well situated and proper.

Tastefully decorated rooms, great value for money, in a very good quiet location, close to some nice restaurants and the owner was always on hand to arrange for everything.

we didn't like that we couldn't stay longer.

We felt truly taken care of the entire time. From wonderful generous breakfast, to free 24/7 drinks and snacks, to the kindest Miss Neni's organizing our activities, to the memorable chats with the Uncle, to the visually most pleasing view in from any angle at the property, to the serene prayer room, coffee shop next door, we loved and cherished it all!
