Efata Homestay

Efata Homestay is located very close to the entrance of Borobudur. The house is in the busy area but very quiet inside. There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It's both safe and convenient. The hosts are a couple called Ika and Yani. They are so kind, friendly and considerate. Before I arrived, they had already sent me some basic information via messages. For example, they told me how to get to the homestay from the airport and reminded me to book my Borobudur ticket earlier. There is a very beautiful and comfortable garden here. The room is clean. Wifi is fast and stable. I extended my stay here for a total of 5 days because I enjoy my time here. The delicious local breakfast prepared by Yani is something I look forward to every day. I feel like I am at home and they are my family:)

Had an amazing stay at Efata. It’s a lovely place with such warm hosts, Ika and Yani. Yani made some amazing breakfast, the best I had in Indonesia. Ika was very kind to lend us bikes and took us around to the Punthuk Setumbu and shared suggestions for places around. The place is very neatly maintained as well.

We loved the owners the most. Our host Ika and Yanni were so kind and Ika really helped out alot. They made us feel welcome and comfortable. The location is hard to beat as it was just a couple of blocks from the Main entrance. The made a delicious breakfast in the morning and when I asked for hot water, it was provided, no problem. The room is simple but has good a/c and a nice and hot shower.

The main negative is the call to worship at the very nearby Mosque at 4:30am. The frogs in the area were pretty loud overnight. I would suggest having earplugs with you.

I am grateful to have stayed at Efata homestay. Ika and his wife were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. They helped me with information for tickets to Borobudur, Ika himself accompanied me to the Temple and shared insightful information with me. The place is well located, cozy and very quiet. The garden is impressive. Highly recommended.

Ika und Yanni are exceptionally nice people and made my stay truly memorable. They helped me with everything. Ika even accompanied me to the temple and gave me some first-hand information. Moreover he did a bicycle tour with me and showed me a mushroom and honey manufacture and also took me on his motorbike to Candi Mendut. The breakfast was delicious and every afternoon I got coffee and sweets. The homestay is in walking distance to the temple and city centre.

Ika and his wife are incredibly helpful and super friendly. The breakfast was great! They helped us with tickets to Borobudur temple and arranged transport to and from the office. They've got a PERFECT location for all things Borobudur and surrounds. Highly recommend!

A small-scale homestay with lots of personal attention and time for exchange. Even before my arrival, I had smooth contact with Ika and indicated that I would like to take a cycling tour in the area. The day after my arrival he gave me a wonderful and unforgettable tour and we visited a tofu maker and pottery, among other things. The nature in the area is breathtakingly beautiful. And I got a lot of tips, also when I went to visit Borobudur, which is really close to walk to. They really do everything to give you an unforgettable time. The garden is very nice to stay and relax and I really relaxed. The breakfast is delicious and Yani gets a delicious local snack to enjoy early in the morning. I could go on and on about all the hospitality I experienced here during the 3 nights I stayed here. Thanks to Ika & Yani for their good care.❤️🙏🏽

This is one of the best accomodation in our trip in Java. Host are super friendly and kind. Very good breakfast included. Room is very nice, modern, and superclean! But the best is absolutely perfect garden, where you can spend time at the terrace. Hot water all day. It's a few minutes to entrance to Borobudur.

Ika and Yani were perfect hosts. The room was comfortable, the garden relaxing and breakfast great. Both of them could not do enough for us.. Ika's help with booking our trip to Borobudur was truly valuable and made the whole trip that much more enjoyable. His local tour on bikes was insightful and great fun. They fully deserve the high rating they have.

Nothing. Efata homestay is precisely as described.
