Naima Jiwo

Beautiful setting. Clean room. Free tea and coffee stand outside.

The property is a long way from busy street scene, station etc. Not many places to eat at night within walking distance. A grab or taxi is required to do almost everything. Hard to locate for some drivers.

Nice and cozy spot in one of the back alleys. Peaceful and quiet, which was super nice after whole day of walking around busy streets of Yogyakarta. No shops around, two restaurants around the corner. Must try lotek/gado-gado nearby.

No breakfast, room lacks second bed side table and small table lamps. Could use some kind of bench to put luggage or backpack on.

The room very clean, the environment very cozy. The receptionist very helpfull and good communication.

Nice stay in village stile area in Jogja

Over the five nights, we stayed at Naima Jiwo, we have come to dislike the place, sadly. However, there were some positives. Mainly, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Not a bad thing to say about the staff, such lovely people. Also, Naima Jiwo is located in a quiet street in the middle of Yogya. No traffic passes by due to it being located at the end of the road, which is a big plus. Yet, almost all taxi drivers were able to find Finally, the aircon worked fine, kinda.

That being said, the negatives outweigh the positives by a big margin. Hence, the low rating. Overall, the room is outdated to such an extent it became a rather huge disappointment. To start things off, the mattress is horrible and old, and should be replaced ASAP. We saw and felt the inner springs through the matras. Because of this, we woke up more than once each night with sore parts of our body, where the springs would sting through the matras. Needless to say, we woke up every morning feeling exhausted. Additionally, the bedlinen was old, and stains were visible. Same for the towels. Besides the mattress, the bathroom needs to be renovated. The tiles were dirty, the showerhead was broken to the extent that it would cut you when you put your hand on it. Not to forget that it is covered in paint (why?). The water pressure is very low. Still, the whole bathroom, including the toilet, got fully wet due to there being no shower curtain. Furthermore, the is no air circulation, trapping the steam in the bathroom, making it damp and smelling. Overall, the hygiene is not good either. Altogether, we would recommend Naima Jiwo to literally no one. We had better hostels and even hotels on Java for a lower rate than Naima Jiwo's rate of €27,50 per night. Naima Jiwo has the potential to be a great accommodation for travelers who wish to discover Yogya. However, it should be renovated dramatically.

I liked the location, it was quite nice for walking to the malioboro street and there was also a supermarket close to it

The water faucet in the bathroom was kind of broken and could be fixed.
