Guest Reviews:
- "I liked the food in the restaurant, the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff as well as the room and attention paid to the details when designing the room" - "Great views over valley and Borobudur temple. Stunning location." - "Stunning outlook, amazing staff, really beautiful villa with its own pool" - "The first surprise was that I was upgraded and had this marvellous villa with swimming pool for myself. The view was astonishing, located in the hills and in the middle of the jungle, a paradise. I felt so good and relaxed every minute. Everything was clean, well maintained and beautiful. Guru and the whole team were above all expectations, always helpful , smiling and went far beyond their duty to make my stay a dream; I can't thank them enough. You have a beautiful place next to the villa to watch the sunset and sunrise, and if lucky will see the volcanos in front of you. The Borobudur temple is at 10min ride, the hotel kindly takes you there (don't forget to book online to climb it). I could actually perceive the temple from my villa. There are also many other things to do in the area.. I warmly recommend this hidden gem you never want to leave... Just one thing, as in every other place where you stay, you hear the praying many times during the day and once at night, don't forget your earbuds, or your own music 😊. This didn't bother me."

- "The hotel grounds were beautiful and tranquil, close to nature and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Really a home away from home. Special thanks to executive butler Pak Bimo who was always around to ask us if we needed any assistance :) Villa was well maintained and clean" - "Location, service, quality of food" - "Nice traditional looking villa w. all the modern comforts. A bathroom the size of your average hotel room. 3 x 7 m private pool on a immaculately gardened yard walled in from three sides and with a great view of the Menorah hills over the pool resulting in complete privacy. All the staff was extremely attentive and the service impeccable. The Patio restaurant is great and has a great view of the Borobudur temple as do some of the villas. Also, from a western point of view great value for money."
