What can I say about this hotel? It's Paradise in Central Java. Seriously, no kidding. We spent there one of the most memorable nights of our lives!
You might think... read more that I am exaggerating, but when you are on top of a mountain, watching the sunset from your bed, listening to the chants of the imams all over the valley, seeing the fog rise with the nightfall... This description in words doesn't even come close to the feeling, but it might give you the idea!!
The staff of the hotel was amazing, so helpful, so nice and polite. They gave us privacy but they were there when we needed them.
The villa itself is a blast. The rooms are lavishly decorated, with Javanese art on the walls, wood carves and traditional statues all over the place, so tasteful, classy and charming. We also had a private swimming pool that we enjoyed a lot.
We had dinner there too, and the food was really good. Great presentation and quite affordable!
Overall, a 10/10, the best place to rest and enjoy an amazing stay in Borobudur. By the way, you can see the temple from the lookout!!
Don't hesitate and book this place for a special and unforgettable experience.

  I really don't know how this place is still open. The view is amazing but thats about it. Booked for 4 nights but checked out after 1 night. Firstly you... read more need to drive through a village on a very rough road, then our driver could only take us so far as we had to change vehicles to go up a very steep road very inconvenient. We checked into a wooden hut type of room, no phone no tv no wifi, great if thats what your looking for. Also be prepared to be eaten alive by mozzies they r everywhere. Also no western food at all and must order 1hr before u eat or wait an hour after u order, very annoying after climbing the temple and come back hungry to be told food takes an hour to prepare. Again if your in to that type of stay its good but none of this was mentioned when booking online. Great view thats it.

  Together with my girlfriend, I stayed at Villa Borobudur for 3 nights. Where we had a wonderful experience. The location and facilities are of the highest quality. We stayed at... read more one of the private villas "Villa Kayangan" which truly met our (very high) expectations.

From the pick-up at the airport until the drop-off at the airport we felt so relaxed because of the excellent care villa Borobudur has taken of us. During our stay we enjoyed the great authentic Javanese experience which Villa Borobudur offers: the staff, the food (with self-grown herbs & spices!), the interior & exterior, the on-site activities. Villa Borobudur has it all and delivers these experiences in an unforgettable manner. We have seldom been so excited about a hotel as we have been here and we highly recommend this unique place.

  We spent 2 nights in the hotel. We kindly got an upgrade as the hotel was not full. The hotel is not a luxury hotel at all but the... read more accommodations looks really typical, all in wood, simple but very charming. Located on a hill, rooms have an amazing view. Staff is very friendly and always available even if not very experienced. The hotel is very quiet, the only thing you hear are the muezzins in the area. The only negative note is about food. We had dinner there once, we had to select our food in the afternoon and they prepared it specifically for us. Unfortunately quality was very poor and we couldn’t get anything that we didn’t order hours before. We were the only table, basically there’s not a real restaurant.

  I chose this villa resort because it was located on a hill with breathtaking view of the mountains and the village of Magelang. As it is in the middle of... read more a jungle surrounded by many trees, insects, flies, bugs and critters are expected, so be prepared with lots of mosquito repellents and have your dinner early at 5 pm.

6 of us - include 4 kids stayed at Villa Merbabu for 2 nights. We love this 2-storey charming Javanese villa resort so much. The ride up and down the hill to and from Villa Merbabu was very steep but I enjoyed it so much every time and the drivers are very experienced.

What I like so much about this villa resort are:

1) very friendly, happy and accommodating staff
2) very safe, friendly and experienced drivers
3) very yummy good food - we all love the deep fried Tempe, nasi goreng and mee goreng so much. In fact kids menu offers very delicious western and Indonesian food too!
4) very picturesque swimming pool
5) very quiet and private premise
6) lovely comfortable Javanese bedroom and bathroom

I enjoy sitting on the sofas and looking out at the mountains with a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee.

I find it remarkable to get clear water, uninterrupted electricity, air con and wifi up here.

  I recently stayed at Villa Borobudur, in the Siddharta Suite. The staff, the room and views, it was all truly a fantastic experience.
My time at Borobudur was limited... read more and in 3 days the staff at the hotel accommodated my schedule and was able to help me achieve all the sites I wanted to attend. The food was excellent. I really loved the experience of staying in a Javanese inspired resort. I did visit another resort while I was there, you are remote in Borobudur, so there are not many choices. This felt very authentic to me. The journey to get to the hotel was just as fantastic as the hotel itself.
I would highly recommend this place. It was a great home away from home.

  We spent three nights at this beautiful location and it was incredible. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a villa and it was the most beautiful accomodation we... read more have every stayed in. We overlooked the Borobudur Temple and the gorgeous valley. The food and the friendly and helpful staff are excellent. We will always remember our special few days at Villa Borobudur. Thank you!

  We checked in to Villa Borobudur for 3 nights, the view is spectacular and the resort is very peaceful. The rooms are quite basic for the price but perfectly adequate.... read more We were a bit disappointed that the area by the pool was being renovated and that they didn’t tell us before we arrived. It didn’t stop us using the pool but it impacted the view.

We felt the dining area lacked atmosphere- all meals are served in the same place and take a long time to come because the kitchen is clearly located some distance away. All meals had to be ordered several hours in advance, for breakfast the night before.

We enjoyed a variety of activities that are easy to access from the resort including hiking, visiting the temples, yoga and massage. The cost of the driver seemed to be integrated into the overall cost including the adhoc trips to other places for lunch/dinner- which was much appreciated. We also appreciated the fact that the staff were able to get the rugby World Cup on the TV for us to watch!

Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and the staff were lovely!
