My stay at the hotel was a delight, tucked away in a stunning mountainous area with breathtaking views of Borobudur. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, making for a comfortable experience. While the service was stellar, I found the dining options could use improvement. Overall, a great value for the setting and amenities, though I did miss having tea and coffee facilities in the room.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel, with luxurious rooms that offered breathtaking views of Candi Borobudur. The service was exceptional; the staff was friendly and always ready to help. The location is serene and beautiful, surrounded by nature. However, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of tea and coffee facilities in the room, and the dining experience could have been better with more variety.
This hotel was a real delight, with spacious and luxurious rooms that had everything I needed, except for tea and coffee facilities, which was a minor hiccup. The service was brilliant, offering seamless support without being intrusive, and the location was stunning, providing views of the forest and rice fields towards the majestic Borobudur temple. The dining experience was enjoyable, though I wouldn't say the food was the best I've had in Indonesia. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money and is perfect for anyone looking to relax.
I had a wonderful time at this hotel, which felt more like a private house with a pool. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the views were stunning. The only downside was the lack of tea or coffee facilities in the room. Overall, it was a fantastic stay with great amenities, but having a little more in-room comfort would have made it perfect.
This hotel had a lot going for it, especially the beautiful and peaceful location overlooking the forest and rice fields. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay, but I found them slightly outdated. The service was fantastic—very friendly staff who were always ready to help. However, the dining options left something to be desired, as the food wasn’t the best I’ve had, and the breakfast could use more variety.
