Couldn't really fault it, enjoyed my stay.

Have stayed here before, previously in a small room but this time I lashed out on the big room. Was spacious light & airy with views onto treetops in garden. Had own sitting area & desk, with light, to catch up on admin work. Herni, the host, conducts cooking classes so if you're around at lunchtime there's always a sumptuous feast. Great location with eateries & cafes very close.

You get to stay in a lovely Javanese home, with beautiful architectur. It really feels like a home away from home. Herni is such a great host, she gives cooking classes and guests of the homestay get to enjoy the food they cooked during the day. And the food tastes amazing.

If I have to say one thing, the noise from the neighbor.

Ibu Herni. She is a very friendly and hospitable hostess of the house. If you’re lucky, you might be able to taste her cooking, too! And all the greenery in her garden and common areas. There are a good selection of cafes and restaurants within a walking distance.

Villa Sambal is located at a peaceful area with easy access to art workshops, cafés and restaurants. The house has a beautiful garden and lots of green plants at every corner. But the best part is Ms Herni and her assistant Lina’s hospitality. They cook delicious Javanese food and gave great advice on exploring Jogya. I feel home when I am with them.

Hot and cold shower facilities.

It was a beautiful hideaway in the middle of a fantastic city. The host Hernie was fabulous. The place was quiet and idyllic, which is why I don’t want to advertise it. A perfect place to explore “jogah.”

Beautiful villa nestled in a small street of Yogya, it’s the perfect base to explore the city and feel the energy of its community. Clean and comfy. Wifi works perfectly and the people working here are just amazing. I met Felicia and she was super helpful with all my requests.

In the Villa was plenty of delicious food from the cooking classes. The host was very hospitable and sweet. One evening, we even went out together, and she introduced me to Javanese cuisine. She packed me snacks for my journey. The accommodation was surrounded by greenery and well located. All in all nice!

I had a wonderful stay at Villa Sambal. The room has a very comfortable bed and is equipped with a very nice bathroom. The whole villa is in a nice area with lots of restaurants and places to see. At the same time it is very quiet. The highlight is Herni, the owner. She is a very nice person who will help you with all your plans. She also runs cooking classes which are very special. The food was amazing.

I like Villa Sambal. I didn’t want to go home. I will come again!

Everything was awesome. I will come back )

I like that the owner of the house is very kind and also offer incursions. If you dont know what tondo in yogyakarta, this point will help you a lot. Also she have cuisine lessons. I do not have time to take one lessons but the next time i will try, it is necessary ).

Ibu Herni, the place owner, is a very nice lady that since the beginning she let you feel home, always treating with little bit of food and trying to make you comfortable. The room was nice and clean. Breakfast is not included but you can use the kitchen and prepare a coffee in the morning. I will come back. Terima kasih Ibu Herni

The house was located in corner of a small alley. We can reach it by following the giant chili on the wall. How interesting! As a solo traveler, my room was enough for me. It was cute and warm. I was extremely into the house’s furniture and decoration. The host, Ms.Herni and her helper were friendly and helpful. She also holds cooking class daily so the guests can try various dishes there. I love the fish simbal very much. There was a kitchen and guests are allowed to use freely. Coffee, tea and sugar is already there. You can cook if you want. Feel like home. The location was just 15 minutes walking to Alun-Alun and 5 minutes to Prawirotaman street. I may choose this if I come back here.
