Reviews of Villa Sambal

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.

Couldn't really fault it, enjoyed my stay.

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.

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.

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

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.

I loved the property, it was such a beautiful place and very central. The hostess often gave absolutely fantastic cooking classes, the food and hospitality were exceptional. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful place! Herni gave detailed directions to find it easily. She also teaches cooking classes and even if you don't take one you may get to enjoy the delicious fruits of their labours.

The stay was very pleasant and Herni kindly offered food from her cooking class that was very tasty.

Everything was perfect. The room was spacious and very clean, the bathroom was comfortable and the bed as well. Henri is the owner of the house and the best host. She is a wonderful cook and person and she as always has cooking classes. She has been very sweet to us. Thank you Henri I hope we will see you again!

The staff is very very friendly and helpful, by the moment you step in you will feel at home. The place is quiet and surrounded by nature. The location is perfect, few minutes away from the main road. The whole staying has been perfect, I felt very much welcomed.

All the staff are very friendly and helpfull. The food is fantistic. You feel very welcome in Villa Sambal! I had a great time there.

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.”

Hot and cold shower facilities.

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!

It a really familiar environment, the owner do cooking traditional class and the place have a lot of charm. Nice experience 😊

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!

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 ).

Everything was awesome. I will come back )
