Ngampilan Backpacker Hostel

...

The hostel is not in the center as they say and I did not feel like it's a backpacker hostel at all. When I came there there were only two local families with small children and no other travellers. I switched hostels after 1 day.

We were very well received. The hostes were very helpful and friendly. The hostel is well placed with everything around and a really quite street, which is hard to find. There's a kitchen where we could cook, which is nice in case that you gonna go for a sunrise ride by yourself, and everything is closed. The room was very comfortable and perfect for 2 people.

A lovely family run hostel! The hosts were very welcoming and got us settled in quickly. They were very happy to help with suggestions for places to visit and restaurants to eat at. They also have a basic kitchen set up for you to use if you wish, with 2 gas stoves, fridge, toaster, and utensils. Facilities are basic and clean, but the beds are comfortable, and it is perfect for a couple of nights stay to explore Yogy.

This is no fault of the hosts, but the tour to Borobudur and Prambanagan on their information sheet did not go well for us. Poorly organised, a lot of waiting around and ridicously overpriced if you have been to other temples in asia. We paid for the full experience but only got half.

Nice place and lovely owner. He gave us great advices during our stay ! The room is clean. We felt like home !

Jos was lovely, accommodating, helpful and kind. Property was basic but homely, rooms were clean. a real home away from home

Stuff was nice and helpful.

I was allone in the hostel, the bathroom was simple (but clean)

Such lovely and kind hosts, they were so helpful with recommendations, and even took me to the pharmacy when I was sick. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the entire hostel feels very homely with a lovely outside area. A very good location and affordable! I would definitely recommend if you're looking to stay with great Jogja locals and are on a budget.
