Pendopo Andari Homestay

Great location, friendly family :)

Very basic accommodation, as long as you are happy with that you will have a good time

It was interesting to see the decor and layout of a traditional Javanese home, and of course the hosts were extremely hospitable and kind to us. We felt so welcomed by them. They chatted with us, cooked us authentic food and were so determined to help us in any way that they can. I highly recommend staying at Pendopo Andari for at least a night if you are coming to Yogyakarta!

It was a little worn down but there is good effort in maintaining the home - it is expected as this is a real home opened to guests so it was definitely a unique experience. The warmth of the hosts made up for any discomfort that a city-dweller may feel.

Andari and his family were so welcoming and hospitable. They were really attentive to our needs and helped us organise our trip to the temples. The fact that they offer free breakfast, complimentary water, teas and coffees made it for us. Rooms were very clean and air con worked. Showers were warm and kept tidy. We felt so at home we stayed 4 nights. Would 100% recommend for a friendly stay.

Some harmless fruit flies in the ceiling but they sprayed it for us which kept them at bay.

Andari and his wife are very very friendly. Room is quiet, clean and comfortable.

Mr Dodi and his family took good care of me including help with tours.

It’s comfy and feels like home.

The people are friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and helpful family: made me feel at home (esp. their 8yr English-fluent, imaginative granddaughter ;) - provided help with booking a day trip to the temples (and got up at night for the pick-up) - and their host student helped me out with urgent train ticket problems, thus saving my day! Good location: in a quiet backstreet in the centre, on walking distance from Kraton, Malioboro... Interior with character ;)

On a practical level, the following could/should be improved: 1/ the taxi driver had problems to find the place, I had to ask around. There is a small indication but it's insufficiently visible! 2/ I found the bed too hard, please consider another mattress / bottom 3/ no problem to share a bath/showerroom, but it's a bit shabby currently and the door does not close well. No place for the guest to put your things, few coat hangers. I'm sure that with a few simple interventions and adaptations, one could make it more practical and shareable 4/ lack of coat hangers in the bedroom
