Palem Kipas Homestay

family atmosphere

walk to the store

Cleanest place in Indonesia Lovely owners Breakfast exceptional Quiet back street

Mosque very loud, but doesn’t last very long

The place looks exactly like the pictures: a big and beautiful house with lots of open spaces and incredible rooms. Our room was spacious, well-organized, and spotless, with a large and lovely bathroom as well. Extra points for the bed—it was super comfy and spacious! It offers great value for money, and we couldn’t recommend it more! It was by far the BEST stay during our 22-day trip!

Yes, you may hear the prayer call early in the morning, but just keep in mind that you’re in an Islamic country, and it lasts only a few minutes. So don’t worry—you won’t regret staying here!

Some places you have to see to experience and this is one of those places. Palem Kipas is a lovely serene place in Yogyakarta that has perfect feng shui. The place is impeccably clean and peaceful, the rooms are light and airy, and the beds are big and comfy. Breakfast is well prepared and is eaten in a peaceful garden. The property is a good location close to attractions nearby. The host is gracious and helpful.

It’s true that the mosque nearby can be loud and does project sound late/early in the morning. However we found with good ear plugs and the aircon running, this did not disturb our sleep. Also to be aware it is a short few minute stroll from a main road to here down a narrow road (most taxis won’t go down the road as it’s too narrow).

Simply one of the best places I have ever stayed at. A peaceful haven of well thought out quality facilities where everything just worked so well. The breakfast each morning served in a lovely garden courtyard was a highlight I looked forward to everyday. It was different every day - beautifully presented and always delicious. Each night I could stroll to the nearby restaurants for an authentic Indonesian dinner. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Nothing.

Extremely clean, very friendly host

The room was cleaned up well. The room has enough space. The staff is nice. There are enough place to eat in the walking distance.

The chickens are crowing early in the morning, like 3am… But it’s okay. It would be happened everywhere. I would come back here even I know it.

It has been a pleasant surprise. The room was perfect, perfectly cleaned and comfy. Djodi is very gentle. There is also a fridge at disposal where you can by fresh water and beverages.

Immaculately clean throughout the property. Breakfast is available upon request the day prior and was delicious and cheap. A good location in Prawirotaman area with plenty of restaurants nearby, far away from other attractions though. Be aware it is down a narrow street so if taking a grab you will need to order it/get out from the hardware shop two minutes up the street. Super friendly staff who cleaned the room when requested. The beautiful cat that hangs around outside really made our stay! Would stay again. Also if you're planning on visiting Borobudur book in advance, tours sell out incredibly quickly!

As other reviews mention the nearby mosques (and chickens) are very loud, even earplugs won't help much, but of course the homestay cannot do anything about this.
