Omah Guyub

I had no expectations at first, but after arriving at the hostel, my thoughts completely changed. The owner, Andy, is an incredible man—respectful, honest, humble, and kind. He is truly hospitable and always helpful. On my third day, he took us to a waterfall, giving me an unforgettable experience. I also had the chance to see how coconuts are collected and meet local people. Plus, if you play a musical instrument, you'll find plenty of different ones to enjoy. I’m so happy with my stay that I give this hostel a 10 out of 10!

To be honest, staying here feels like living in the heart of the forest. If you’re open to a more rustic experience and don’t mind basic facilities for cleanliness, showering, or using the sink, this place offers a unique and special connection with nature.

If you are looking for a place where you can feel as a part of the indonesian family, go here. The room is opened to air and life, so no A/C, just mosquito nets and steep climb to your room - it´s like a little jungle house in the town :) What makes the stay special is Andy and his family, with all the crafts, music and friendliness you can imagine!

Very unique place to stay in Yogyakarta. Won't find another place like this!! Open air rooms leave you waking up feeling refreshed. The family who own it are super friendly. The location is not bad it's a half an hour walk into the centre. Located off the main Street down a small alleyway. Although you cannot lock your room it seems like a very safe and friendly neighborhood.

A mirror would be nice. Difficult to shave without one.

This is the best homestay in Yogyakarta! The hosts, Pak Andy and his family, are musicians and artists, with a wealth of knowledge and involvement in the local art and music scene. I also found them to be quite environmentally conscious with a deep love for nature. During our visit I meet one of the other guests staying here, whom, I found out, had stayed with Pak Andy at his guesthouse 15 years ago. This is more than a guest house, it is very much a home! I highly highly recommend staying at Omah Guyub Home stay - or even, check out Omah Guyub 2.

We had a very pleasant stay at Omah Guyub. There was a very warm welcome from Andy upon arrival. Easy to find with the instructions that were given to us. Room and bed were very comfortable. We fell asleep to a wonderful music session by his daughter and her friends that night, and we were woken up by the sound of birds in the morning. Andy was very kind and helpful and we had really nice conversations. We would definitely stay here again!

Andy and his family were wonderful. The place is made with reused wood carved panels, plants everywhere, and it is very beautiful. The rooms are open to the exterior, but there are mosquito nets if you ask.

Enjoyed everything

Omah Guyub is the best place for staying in a traditional house and natural, eco and budget friendly enviroment,but also close to the city fascilities. The charming, simply wooden houses with all their little details tell about javanese philosophy. Andy is a great host and friend, an amazing musician as well. You can ask him about anything, he has a lot of connections with the local communities and happy to assist you with any kind of request of yours. You can cook with him and his community, sing together your songs, or listen to stories about javanese wisdom. A real local experience for those,who want to dig deaper in the cultural layers, or those who want to experience the joyfulness of the every day life of art communities in South Jogjakarta. Highly recommended!

I really like it because it is very unique

Nothing, all is good
