Griya Harja Homestay

The host was very helpful and friendly. The location is gorgeous. It’s very family friendly and great to stay where you are surrounded by chickens, sheep and a tropical fruit garden.

It was Nice place beautiful, clean, friendly

A laid-back house with simple rooms, weak light bulbs and village flair. Nice sitting areas.

There were no food options in the afternoon and evening. In the rain we couldn't order food, so missing dinner or getting wet was the only option. Buy some extra Indomie, guys, for this case, please.

Simple breakfast of egg and noodles provided early for breakfast. Person there went for food in evening. Area roundabout pretty. Will arrange for you to get to temple and back for your things for about 50,000idr.

Very strange experience where I basically had to wait 90 minutes for person working there to finish praying. I didn't mind waiting a short while but he left me in a rather dreary room for well over an hour with no WiFi and hungry. Eventually appeared after 90 minutes. It is difficult to work out how to get to this area in a day so accomodation is worth considering. It is nice to get to temple early before crowds but not as early as guide books say (post COVID and off season). Also borobudur as temple is disappointing as can only access ground and at that only half area. Definitely get a tour (I had Lena - brilliant) as improves what would otherwise be an underwhelming experience. Tour is 150,000idr from official guide as you go in and think a tip, of maybe about 50,000 is expected. Accomodation is good distance from temple so will need some kind of transport there. Also far from any food options. Noisy mosque nearby. I found the place pretty dingy and depressing. Guy working there was ok but not as helpful as write ups. His friend that took me round was better to interact with.

This a nice and clean place, in a very quiet surroundings, perfect to discover Borobudur and the nature around. The owner are very helpful. Really recommended if you need a cheap place in a nice village above Borobudur

The owner Yudo is very friendly and helpfull. He knows lot o people and surprised us with a visit to a nearby village which was amazing. It is great that there bicycles available to visit the nearby monuments. We arrived quite lat and did have dinner yet, so the owner was so nice to get us some food.

Although it is not cold in the nights, I prefer a sheet together with the blanket. But after asking for sheet, a serong was profided which was perfectly fine.
