With mountain views, this accommodation features a balcony. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I truly enjoyed my stay.

I also appreciate the hospitality of the staff, thank you for the bicycle and breakfast box.

A great experience in Hany & Wibowo Homestay 22 & 23 April The family awaited my arrival and I was warmly welcomed & offered drinks and beautiful homemade snacks. They provided exceptional service including incredible freshly homemade meals personally cooked by Hany. As a sole traveller they were concerned about my safety and insisted on collecting me from the ballet which takes place within the grounds of the temples and well worth attending. Both Hany and Wibowo provided me with invaluable information with regard to their way of life. The home stay is within a short walk of the temples and approx 17 K from Yogagakarta. Wibowo also provides transport to destinations requested by guests. This homestay is a family home and comes highly recommended

Set in Sekatonan, less than 1 km from Borobudur Temple and 41 km from Yogyakarta Tugu Train Station, GB 2 Backpacker Borobudur offers air conditioning. This guest house offers free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Tugu Monument is 42 km away and Malioboro Mall is 42 km from the guest house. The hostel ia very close to the temple entrance, the reception guy is very nice and can provide info, facilities are great too (wifi, lockers, curtains for the beds, cleanliness, air con). Also, free cold water and coffee in the morning. It's a pity very little people come to spend a night in Borobudur. It's a very cute town and you can have nice walks in the rice fields just behind the temple or going towards the Chicken Church.

Featuring mountain views, 44 Guest House Syariah features accommodation with balcony, around 21 km from Owabong. The property features city views, and is 37 km from Mount Slamet. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and parking on-site. Guesthouse 44 was my second home for a week in Purwokerto. The room was not spacious, but it had all necessary appliances and good air conditioning. A double room was just enough for my luggage, so I suggest if you travel with a partner, get a bigger room, the price is really affordable. The bathroom might surprise you, because it has no sink, just a shower, and no mirror, which is somewhat inconvenient. The room was sparkling clean, the bed sheets and the towels smelled amazing, it was regularly cleaned and supplied with bottled water every day. As a foreigner, you might get some special treatment, as the managers are really caring and put in a lot of effort to be of best service. The breakfast is abundant, if you don't like the local style, they'll prepare you some pancakes, omelette and steamed vegetables, so as to make sure you don't go out hungry. It is a good idea to bring some small present for the lady and her husband who run the hotel (they are about 60) - it will make their day. At their place you will surely feel as a part of a big family. Please bear in mind, that although the hotel is near the city center, you cannot walk in Purwokerto, since the streets are bustling with cars and motorcycles and there are no sidewalks for pedestrians. Walking is really dangerous, so better take a taxi. And speaking of taxies, I can recommend this nice young taxi driver in Jakarta, working for the Bluebird company, who speaks perfect English and is a very honest and helpful person: +62 852-1258-2235 (Willy). You may contact him on WhatsApp in advance, and he'll pick you up at the airport, without an extra fee. I had to bargain with many taxi drivers when I arrived in Jakarta in order to get an almost fair price, while this one trusts his meter, so no need to worry. Good luck with your adventure!
