Villa Borobudur Resort

Amazing view. Really friendly staff. Nice food at the restaurant. The shuttle drivers were fantastic. Great location near to Borobudar - you can see it from the hotel. Nice swimming pools. ||Downside is that the rooms kept running out of hot water when having a shower which is a bit of a nuisance when showering kids. Also would suggest needs more vegetarian options on the menu if expecting more western tourists.

Fantastic resort with service taken care of down to the smallest detail. Spacious room and two beautiful pools. Everything is clean and well-maintained. Day trips can easily be arranged through the reception. A special thank you to the lady who accompanied me to the hospital and guided me there. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

We had the most fantastic experience at Villa Borobudur Resort. The views are incredible, the swimming pools are heavenly and the food is fab. Most importantly, it was the staff who made the real difference - charming, friendly, warm, supportive and the most considerate and thoughtful people. ||A big ‘thank you’ to Emma and Mifta for their help with a small medical issue - they could not have done more to help.||Also, a big shout out to Meli, Anna and Kabul for a wonderful cooking class experience for me and my son - we will never forget it.||And, another ‘thank you’ to Herman for entertaining us on our transfer from Yogyakarta and also for being our guide on our local cycling trip which was one of the highlights of our entire two weeks in Indonesia.||Yes, the hotel’s close proximity to Borobudur is a big draw, but the hotel is an experience in itself.||It is not high luxury - the rooms are simple, yet comfortable - so if you want something fancy, spend $2,000 a night at Amanjiwo which is literally next door to Villa Borobudur Resort.||We absolutely loved Villa Borobudur Resort and will cherish happy memories made at the hotel forever.

This property is a little remote and needs transport to go anywhere. The resort offers a shuttle to Borobudur. We had a junior suite, which is quite basic. We rated it 3 star for the room. The main lobby and other parts of the hotel were under renovation. We saw the renovation and it should look nice once finished. Best part of our stay were the stunning views from the resort in the morning during sunrise. You have a beautiful view on the volcano, mountains and surroundings. The Borobudur temple can also been seen. The view made the difference and compensated for the rather average rooms and facilities. We guess that we will see a much nicer resort after they finished the renovation. The staff were very nice and helpful. Finally, warning about the very loud morning prayers before sunrise. Wear the ear plugs provided by the resort. Come here for the great view and relaxation after visiting the temple.

Not an easy journey getting to the hotel but was worth it in the end. Upon arrival we marvelled at the expanse of the hotel and grounds but once we settled in, we found it lacking in the finer details for a top rated hotel. The room was comfortable, the food ok and the service good. But it could be a whole load better. An enjoyable rather than a memorable stay. Thank you.

Peaceful place, atmosphere the hotel is in very nice location you can see merapi volcano! Excellent service very nice food, the staff are also very polite and the service is excellent too, there are 2 swimming pools and also the us a place that you can watch the sun rise (if there are no clouds)fi you are planning to visit borobudur city the best choice is to book a room to @villa borobudur resort

We booked this last minute as our original hotel (Plataran Borobudur ) informed us of noisy building works at very short notice. Stayed in merebu three bed villa with pool…it grew on us as the days went by, the pool area was lovely as was the upstairs sitting and dining area. Room service excellent although the food quality was variable and after 5 days we got a bit bored with ordering the same things(not very extensive).||Our biggest issue was something that has been mentioned by many other reviewers, but in our opionion was ten times worse than described; the frequent ( several times a day including at 0400am) calling to prayer from numerous temples in the valley below. The noise was unbeleivably loud at times. Maybe it was worse as it was apparently Mohammed‘s birthday when we were there , but it really did detract from what otherwise was an enjoyable stay. We of course respect the fact this is a muslim country but having visited numerous muslim countries in the past and actually found the call to prayer quite a soothing, calming expeience, this was quite a contrast.|We doubt there are any hotels in Borobudur that would not experience. similar level of noise and Borobudur is well worth a visit….but be warned!

The hotel itself is amazing! Two lovely pools, high quality rooms and a restaurant with a diverse menu, some of the best food ive ever eaten! The hotel helped us book a walk through the hills, a bike tour of the village and a tour round Borobodur temple. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful and were what really made our stay there extra special. Thank you again Villa Borobodur :)
