Great stay at Rajasa. The hotel is simple and clean, walking distance from Borobudur Temple (discount tickets available). Breakfast included in the room rate is simple & tasty: fresh fruit, coffee/tea, plus choice btwn toast, fried rice w/egg, or a banana (or pineapple) filled crepe. Menu available for more if desired. Staff were very courteous & helpful. Owner/manager, Ai allowed us to alter our booked arrival times by one day without penalty. Everything was as advertised. In addition, Ai is very knowledgeable of Javanese history & culture, and the region in general. Ai lined up a wonderful itinerary for our family of four (2 teenage boys) and friends who are a couple. All of us stayed at the hotel, arriving with only a basic idea of what to do. After hearing our preferences & time constraints (60 hrs), Ai outlined his recommendations from which we picked & chose. Borobudur & Prambanan topped the list. Ai added 4 more less-visited temples, river rafting, a Ramayana Javanese Ballet, sunset views, lunch/dinner & shopping recommendations both in Borobudur & Yogyakarta, and a car & driver for two & half days. We would have wanted to experience much more had we the time. Ai offered great no-haggling-necessary pricing & how to do things cost-effectively. It was perfect! Memories for a lifetime. |My family & accompanying friends felt we got more than we paid for. At Rajasa's great low room rates, we hoped for the minimum, but received much more. If requiring a European/American standards stay, you may be disappointed. If you on the other hand are looking for a low-cost Indonesian flavorful alternative to neighboring Manohara, an alternative that is clean, simple, safe, and friendly, I highly recommend Rajasa. Terima kasih!
