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 originally booked the villa menoreh but was upgraded to Villa Kayangan which had even better views, you could actually see Borobudur from the room. The Kayangan was a lovely... read more two bedroom wooden villa that was absolutely amazing. One of the restroom was outdoors. The staff was absolutely friendly and service minded and ensure all our needs were met. We stayed for two nights and booked the Java Inclusive which covered breakfast, lunch, dinner, borobudur VIP tickets, and transfers to the airport which was quite a deal.

However, do bear in mind that given the location some things are quite limited inclusing food options which only had local cuisine available which was nice but home made quality so don't expect Hilton sized spreads. Keep in mind you are also sleeping in the middle of a jungle so insects are quite plentiful, keep that repellent handy. Also, note that it is a very steep climb up the mountain by car so only hotel cars would work. Don't expect a 5 star chain hotel resort standard.

Despite this, with the amazing views and beautiful villa all was worth it!

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.

  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.

  this place is very quiet, and it's a good place to just relax and enjoy the nature around.
They also provide us with our own butler which very helpful because... read more we're basically up in the mountain and it's hard to get food from outside the villa.

  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!

  After 18 years living in Asia I have kind of seen most things. But Villa Borobudur is an exceptional place to stay and I found my 3 nights there enchanting.... read more The service from the team there is exceptional and very detail is thought through. We took one of the family villas and the view from the terrace across the valley and over to MT Merapi is just amazing.
