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.

  What a magical place! Villa Borobudur offers some of the finest hospitality we’ve seen anywhere. We were given an upgraded suite for two days and all was perfection: Stunning view... read more and surroundings, luxurious yet comfortable furnishings, incredibly caring and helpful staff, and wonderful food.

I think we expected the place to be a little stuffy and formal from the pictures, yet it was so relaxed, even as staff made sure every need was met. The pool was delightfully refreshing, water in the shower was always hot. Any time we needed anything, a courteous member of the staff was waiting to be called upon and happy to oblige. The service felt effortless despite all the work that so clearly goes into making sure each aspect of a guest’s stay is anticipated.

The Villa is close to Borobudur up in the mountains with a spectacular view. You can see the temple through the mist in the morning amidst the lush landscape in the surrounding valley. It was one of those experiences that will stay with us forever. There is truly nothing else like this place. More

  Pros: the property consists of several small wooden buildings instead of a gigantic property. This makes the surroundings feel less obnoxious and private. Beautiful green view! The area is surrounded... read more by friendly locals and we get to see how they live and smile everyday. Food was good and fruits were cut fresh.

Cons: there was noise till late at night from the surrounding area since it's nearing independence day, but not too much. Cocktail was rather weak.

Overall, will recommend anyone to stay here.

  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!

  I stayed in the Villa Kayangan for four lovely nights. I loved every moment of it--the peaceful setting high in the Menoreh mountains, the view of volcanoes and Borobudur, the... read more epic sunrises and sunsets. The private pool is gigantic. I found the hums of the calls to prayer from the villages in the valley below enchanting. The staff is kind, friendly, and genuinely wants to ensure you have a lovely trip. You have the privacy of an AirBnB but the amenities of a hotel--room service, housekeeping/turndown service, concierge/someone to help schedule your tours and activities. I think it's the best place to stay in the area and offers an authentic Javanese experience.

It is located in Borobudur's mountains, the view from the hotel is unbelievable, just breathtaking.
We stayed in a beautiful villa with swimming pool, private and quiet.
The service at the hotel is superb, first class, matching the level of the venue. The staff was warm but super professional.
If you want to stay at an unforgettable and special hotel, this is the one!

  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.

  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.
