Beautiful place!

Wonderful experience with Cosy atmosphere in an extraordinarily tranquil location. Air conditioning could be slightly improved if otherwise everything is perfect!

We had a great stay at the villa during our stay. The villa has everything you need. The owner has just bought a new air cooler on the 2nd last day of our stay. To operate you need to place the blue ice pack from the freezer in the water compartment. There are mosquitoes in the kitchen perhaps a ultraviolet light mosquitoes repellent should be installed. While we we swimming at 4plus in obe of the afternoon, we were greeted by a female intruder asking if "there's a party" despite having an inhoue guard . Overall the stay was pleasant. We enjoyed the kumpung quietness and the hospitality from the host. The driver that the host recommend is very good and honest - Sutarman. He brought us to places out of the town during our 6 nights stay. He made our trip pleasant. A must to engage him if you need to move around. Will certainly come back to this villa again in our next visit to Yogyakarta.

We absolutely loved the sunset villa, we didn't want to leave! Riris was a wonderful host. She greeted us and helped us book taxis, drivers (Sutarman was great, highly recommend him!), and even order food for delivery (which was delicious and such a treat)! The villa is beautifully decorated and attention to detail was much appreciated (including toothbrushes, paste, shampoo etc.)- and the showers/bathrooms are amazing! It was really nice to be close to the city but away from all the traffic- perfect if you are planning on day trips anyway. Oh! And they had music, which was so welcome after not hearing much for a while, and fun by the pool :) Thank you!

Sunset Villa exceeded our expectations. The photos don't do it justice. The villa was clean and modern, but super quaint and comfortable, and Riris was a terrific host. She replied quickly to questions, helped us arrange a driver and even contacted a friend to open his antique shop on a Sunday. Definitely recommended.

Tempatnya sangat tenang Dan cocok untuk menghabiskan waktu berdua dengan pasangan, mba riris dan team pun sangat ramah dan membantu saya selama berada di penginapan.

Best experience ever! The villa is located in a traditional village surrounded by lush greenery all around it. We love the kitchen, pool, BBQ pit with all amenities provided for. Riris kindly provided Daily cleaning with fresh eggs, fruits dan breads fully stocked up. Security guards and gardeners were all helpful with our needs.

Riris was there to welcome me despite i was 1 hour early arriving at the place then she was continue cleaning up the place. we had a good chat on how the villa has been since the filming of AADC2.

If you are looking for a peaceful surrounding close to nature and fresh air Joglo Gumuk is the place. You can see the breathtaking view of sunrise every morning in front of the house. The house and room have no air conditioning but it is cool in the day and cold at night and early morning. Will definitely recommend you to stay here if you love nature. There is morning prayers from the mosque every day at 4.30 am but it does not bother us after the first day as you will get used to it. There are a lot of sounds from the frogs, cats, cockerel and insects. You will not get to hear this kind of sounds if you are staying in a town area or apartment/condominium so it is a good experience. My husband and I love the place and will definitely come back again. It comes with breakfast everyday with 3 choices and the coffee is so good as it is freshly made from coffee beans. Breakfast is simple but sufficient enough to keep you full until lunch. After my experience in Joglo Gumuk now I know why there were no bad reviews. Massage can be arranged to be done at the house by appointment. Close by there are nice restaurants for lunch and dinner like "The Sawah" and "Blue Steps".

Very nice house (as shown on the pictures) and surprisingly less mosquitos! The village is really cool. All in all highly recommended!!!!

Very pleasant guest house in the countryside around jogja. The location is very spacious and open to the nature : it is strongly energyzing. Sleeping with all the sounds of nature , and then having a delicious breakfast in front of the rice fields is a great moment. A huge 'Thank You' to Persiyam.

We stayed at the Joglo and loved it so much we extended our stay and moved into the small wooden house next to it for a few more days. Katia and Foazan have been easy going and helpful with the extension and it was no problem at all. They responded really quickly and took care of everything. Both places are located in a beautiful garden and the attention to detail really shows that a lot of thought and love must have gone into this place. The Joglo itself is a really cool open space that can be completely open to the nature. It has a big table and sitting area and we enjoyed having our breakfast and looking at the rice paddies every morning. If you like to stay somewhere a bit different to a usual apartment and like nature this is the perfect place to stay. That being said you need to be ok with the one or other gecko running around the house. However they never came into our bedroom. Also it is outside of Yogya(about 15-20drive) we never had a problem getting into the city and often used the driver recommended by Katia and Foazan. But it is something that needs a bit of organizing. While you are there Persyiem will take care of all your needs. She's very lovely and cooks delicious breakfast. If you like a smaller and more private place the small wooden house also rented by Katia and Foazan is a really nice alternative. We would come back anytime and recommend the place.

It was paradise staying at the Joglo. I was welcomed by Mia, a friend of Katia, and Parsiyem. Both were very welcoming and helpful during my stay in Jogja. Mia arranged a motor bike for me and Parsiyem made the most delightful breakfast every morning. The Joglo is a bit outside the city, but it is just perfect if you want to escape the busy roads of Jogja. After spending one night, two of my friends wanted to join me at the Joglo. Even though there wasn't a room available, they could sleep on the couch (note, it is very large!) in the Joglo, which was a perfect solution. Oh, and the outdoor bathroom is heaven. Picture yourself bathing underneath the stars and hearing frogs as loud as dogs (can sometimes be a bit too lowd). Loved it. Just loved it.

De Joglo was geweldig. Met prachtig materiaal een sfeervol huis gecreëerd. Het uitzicht is fantastisch en je kunt in de rijstvelden een mooie wandeling maken. De buiten douche en bad vonden wij heel speciaal! Het echtpaar wat de zorg voor het ontbijt had was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een bijzonder ervaring.

Joglo Gumuk is a beautiful place offering a big space, well furnished and decorated, very warm and comfortable. The ponds with singing frogs as well as the cats are great neighbors for us who wanted to stay close to nature. The view on the green rice paddies is astonishing and everyone who took care of us was extremely kind. We enjoyed every minute and would love to return soon.

Wir verbrachten eine wundervolle Woche im Reishaus. Die Bilder versprechen viel, und tatsächlich ist es vor Ort einfach unglaublich schön. Der Blick ins Reisfeld, das sehr großzügig und schön dekorierte Joglo, die Geräuschkulisse... Jeder Moment war ein Erlebnis. Dazu die gute Seele Persyem, welche sich auch liebevoll um unser Baby während des Frühstücks kümmerte und uns stets leckere indonesische Gerichte brachte. Das frische Brot zum Frühstück war uns jeden morgen eine besondere Freude. Spaziergänge durch die Reisfelder oder durch das Dorf und der Ausflug zu Borobodur (Joko: vielen Dank) waren sehr beeindruckend. Wir kommen gern zurück!

The place was perfect for me and my girlfriend and her brother. It could be perfect if the kitchen would be more cleaner next time and add additional brighter lights in the second room on top. However, we would love to have a stay in again if we travel to yogyakarta next time ! Shukran & Helen

This house is amazing. Beautiful peaceful views from the verandah and kitchen over the river. Lovely and spacious and light. Interesting architecture. Cool bathroom with a great jacuzzi and lovely spacious garden. It was great for our family but would also be perfect for a romantic trip away. You feel like you're in you're own private oasis, but still easy to get to the centre of yogya and other sites. The hosts were also lovely and really easy to deal with. I also liked the eggs and bread that were delivered in the morning, exactly what we needed. Would definetly recommend this place to others.

Es hat alles einwandfrei geklappt. Ob wohl Heidi nicht selbst vor Ort war, antwortete sie auf Anfragen sofort und arrangierte es umgehend. Auch die Tips wegen der Restaurants waren toll. Das Blue Steps ist sehr zu empfehlen.

A very beautiful and well-built villa not too far from Kasongan art village, which is one of my reason to visit Jogja. The fully equipment kitchen enhances the overall experience. It's nice to have a fridge to stock up on cold beverages and a electric kettle to to make hot ones and enjoy it by the 3 sitting areas to watch the river. I was unfortunate in my stay to encounter a blackout on my first night, which left us to cook our dinner in the dark with only lights from our mobile phones. Also with the blackout, the shower stopped working forcing me to go sleep without a shower. I hope the place will be better equipment to manage blackouts for future guests as I would like to go back again.

Great place for experiencing the beauty of rural area of Yogyakarta. Private and secluded, best for youe retreat.

Bon logement atypique, un peu trop excentré à notre goût et difficile à trouver, Mais calme et reposant. Le staff est accueillant et aimable, malgré la barrière de la langue car il ne parlait pas anglais.

We stayed 2 nights at Heidi's apartment. The tree house is amazing !! We enjoyed every second and would totally recommend it!! The communication with Heidi, although we didn't actually met her, was very easy and she replied immediately! Thanks a lot for that!! Mr. Bruno took very good care of us. If we asked for something he would take care of it right away!

A quiet, relaxing little getaway with river views, surrounded by lush trees. We especially enjoyed sleeping with the sound of the river flowing literally several meters from the bedrooms, and particularly liked the home's unique wooden design and cabin-like feel. Heidi makes guests feel truly at home--she was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking to experience Javanese culture by living among local residents of a quiet village with easy access to all the significant cultural sites in Yogya. The nearby restaurant also delivers great food. We would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful experience of nature, art and music. Night showers under the stars. Strong Community involvement. Could easily stay there for a long long time. Batik work shop with Bagoose a definate high light. I felt at peace. Thank you

My friend and I had an amazing stay here! We did yoga, made batik, and ate some delicious food. Yohana is an amazing host!

Tempat yg pas bgt buat istirahat selama 2 hari. Tenang, nyaman, udaranya bersih, stafnya ramah dan responsif saat minta sesuatu, sarapannya ok bgt ala2 pedesaan. Ngga nyesel deh nginap disini. Recommended buat yg pengen dapat suasana beda, apalagi yg dari kota2 besar. Thanks... :)

The room and the environment was as described on this page. It was a very basic set up and closer to nature. A good way to experience the traditional living style. The place is clean, comfortable and also cold. You will not need an AC unit in the room. The water was also cold to shower especially in the morning. The host and team are very accommodating with all our requests.

The staff are fabulous and very helpful. Motorbike rental available with or without driver to get to some beautiful sights. The homestay is just like in the photos, basic and natural.

If you love speaking with great, nice and artist people, sleeping in bamboo room, being near with nature and waking up because of the chickens and not because of the city, Frogstay is for sure the best place to be! I feel so thankful for the entire team..! I had a wonderful time there and if I can, I will be back

My partner and I stayed for one night and it was lovely. Such a beautiful place and lovely remote village. Yohana was incredibly nice. And it was all very relaxed.

Très sympa, très bon accueil. Et très bon repas chez doriane!!! Merci à tous

We've been the first guests of Silke and Riyanto and we can only say the best about them and their accomondation! We've been picked up by Riyanto for free and he immediately organized a scooter for us (by the way one oft he best scooters we ever rented in south east asia). At the first evening he also brought us a fresh homemade passion fruit juice, which was very delicious. The cozy house is located near a small village, just a 15 minutes drive from the busy Jogja city center, with a beautiful and romantic view over the ricefields and the lovely small garden. The perfect place for relaxing after sightseeing. The pictures on airbnb are absolutely authentic and if you see the house, the garden and the fields in fact, everything is even much better. We were positively surprised, because the room is much bigger than we expected and there is also a small kitchen with a gas cooking station, a few cooking utensils and enough drinking water, coffee and tea. The room and the outdoor bathroom (with western toilet and hot shower) was decorated with flowers and everything was totally clean. The big bed was very comfy and had a mosquito net. There also was good working wifi. For breakfast we could choose between different dishes. The yoghurt for the muesli was homemade and you should try the rice porridge with vegetables!!! Everything was delicious and you get fresh fruits every day. We had a lot of interresting conversations with Silke about her life in Indonesia, the people and history and she gave us very good information about trips in Jogja and the surrounding areas. Silke took a lot of time helping us and was always reachable. We are so happy to be the first guests from Silke and Riyanto and we highly recommended their beautiful house to everyone. We felt very comftable and welcome and if we ever will be in Jogja again, we definitely will come back!!!

We had a really great time staying at Katias place. She was not there since she was in Germany but everything was taken care of by Mia and Parsiyem. We had a driver picking us up from the train station and even though it was late we were still able to use the scooter the same night. They really made us feel at home. Lovely breakfast, great location outside Yogyakarta in the middle of the rice fields and Parsiyem even organized a lady for a massage at quite short notice.The pictures display what the accommodation looks like but I think in real it looks even better. The last day we had to leave at 5:30 and unexpectedly we were served with breakfast. Thanks so much for having us and giving us a very great experience. We are sure to be back again at one point :)

Katia is a very gracious host. She arranged everything very quickly and seamlessly - a driver from borobodur and a taxi to the airport - and she checked in on us along the way. If you are a nature lover and you want some peace from the city, this wooden house is a great option. Perched on the edge of the rice paddies, it has an amazing unobstructed view of nature. It is very small inside the house (simply a bed and a little desk) but the expansive outdoor bathroom and the surrounding area definitely make up for it. Also: I highly recommend checking in before 6pm, before the sun sets (so you can get your bearings) and the frogs, snakes (only a few little ones in the pond below), and other little insects are busy roaming around. And take a little walk along the rice paddies just before the sun sets - it is truly beautiful!

We stayed with Pao and Katia for three nights, and honestly, this has got to be one of my best AirBnB experience. It definitely exceeds my expectation and I had the best sleep in this wooden house!I particularly love the paddy field view from the balcony, outdoor bathroom and breakfast. Katia and Pao have been very helpful and welcoming. I would strongly recommend this place :) Thanks for sharing your amazing house with us!

This is a very special place, we had an amazing time here. Although Katia and Faozan were not there during our stay everything was very well organized and taken care of. Katia responded to all our emails immediately and helped us to get transportation from the station to the place (even we arrived in the middle of the night). Every morning a rich breakfast was served by Parsyem, the gentle and ever smiling housekeeper. She kept everyhing clean and tidy and took as well care of our laundry. It's a lovely experience to sit on this little veranda and watch the ricefields or take a walk through the beautiful garden. It seems so quite and far away from everything, but it takes you only 20min by motor bike to reach the lively city center of jogja. Close to the house are as well many little shops and eating places. We met wonderful people there and can't wait to come back.

Correspond a la description donnee.

Driving to the house we were a bit unsure: where is the driver taking us? Unexpected places are often the best... We rented both the Joglo and the Little wooden house, which was nice for our family of three adults and two children. The view is superb. On a clear day we saw Merapi in the background. The supermarket is at walking distance. As are small warungs. We really liked the ayam goreng of Ms Astuti. We walked to get groceries, but on occasion asked help from Parsiyem, which she was happy to give. It took a little while to get used to both the frogs and the mosques' call to prayer during the night (frogs) and early morning (mosque at 4 am). The joglo and its surroundings are constructed for shade and coolness. It works well. No AC needed. Mia, Parsiyem and Sukarman have taken good care of us. Fresh fruit from the garden was wonderful. Our Indonesian family found the rooms a little spartan, but we find this is a question of taste. Funnily a lot of Asian people find the Asian style out of design magazines not nearly chique enough... ;-)

House was nice, Mia and Sukkerman and Parsiyem were great.

Really nice location outside Yogjakarta. The accomodation is great with an amazing bathroom outside. The breakfast was also good. The village itself has not a lot going on, but the environment has a lot of things to see with a great guide arranged via the house. We were also able to use the scooters of the friendly owners who were really friendly and helpful. A peacefull place which we would recomment if you want to experiance something special and different from normal locations.

FrogStay is a attraction in Jogja by itself! The place is lovely, down-to-earth, back in nature. You could hear chickens clucking and birds singing all the time. Definitely worth the stay if you're looking for an adventurous and unique accommodation in Jogja. There are plenty of activities to do such as yoga in the mornings and batik making. The facilities are pretty basic but that's the beauty of it. The hosts Yohana, Bagus, Vijay and the rest are really friendly people and will make you feel right at home. Thank you Frogstay!

Far off the city buzz and noise (10-15 mins away in a motorbike). Nice and quiet place to stay. We love the rustic and vintage vibe of the place. Efficient communication with Yohana.

Nice and quiet place just outside the city. Very nice and helpfull people. We enjoyed our stay at the frogstay.

The room is great! We love the details on the wall, which Mas Bagus said was made by his mother, making it even more precious for us. The little garden by the deck is very nice for us to chat. However, the chats and discussion in the common area over breakfast is even better! We love to spend time there chatting with Mas Bagus, Malve and Ipin just discussing various topics. Definitely will come back for more of their hospitality!

Very recommended place to stay if you want to search cultural, peacefulness, and friendliness from the hosts.

We had a warm welcome. Lovely accomodation in a peacefull and naturally surroinding. You litarlly sleep in a jungle. It was far away from the crowdy Streets of yogya. A quiet place to relax and enjoy! Johanna and her staf were very helpfull and friendly. She even offert yoga in the morning. We had a great time there!

I had the best days at frogstay! I recommend to all I know!

Really lovely place next to the river away from the hustle and bustle of yogya .. the noises you can hear from your hut are amazing...frogs, toads, birds, cows, praying! very welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts!

Unfortunately we could only stay for one night at Yogja, We didn't have much chance to explore our accommodation. We arrived late and tired and checked out early. However the room was great, lovely garden and shower. Only problem is the bugs but I guess that's something that can't be avoided.

The location is a little outside the city - but that's exactly what I wanted to book for. If you're looking for quiet, secluded, but still just a few minutes outside the city this is perfect! Baas (spelling?) the housekeeper is also a great cook and all around great guy. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Lovely peaceful place facing a little stream and rice paddies. Great place to get work or art projects done. Nice touches like having bikes to borrow to explore the local area was great too, and the kitchen made staying here easy.

It was okay.

Good place and affordabl budget

Heidi and Rhein's place is quiet; we heard only teak leaves falling and insects at night. Mas Barno, the caretaker is kind and helpful. The room is beautiful and well thought-out to get breeze circulating without AC and it's nice to look up at green leaves while in the shower. It's a nice home base when you need quiet near Jogja.

I love this place! This is my second stay at Heidi and Rhein's place. It's quite, peaceful, and homey. Will definitely come again, if I visit Jogja next time.

I extended my first stay and am going back for another stay next week. Heidi's place is truly beautiful and functional as well. Yoga and breakfast at the yard gave me a great start of the day. Recommendations of eateries and swimming pool from Heidi were also top-notch at very reasonable prices. Caretaker Mas Bartno was more than helpful. I hope their place will be available again when I come back to Jogja later this year.

Yohana place is nice and charming. If you like being close from nature and discovering new way of living this place is for you. Far from the big hotels but way much typical and welcoming :-) every thing you really need is there!

Awesome! Really back to nature.

My stay here was fantastic. Yohana arranged to meet me and pick me up, while also collecting my bag from the previous hostel. There place is very tranquil and quiet. We sat and chatted a lot, it felt like you were at a friends place, eating and sharing stories. Great place and great couple.

Beautiful time with amazing people. Yohanna and Bagus and also the Crew are so unbelievable nice, open and help you in each way. Every time again!

Loved it! The gecko makes an awesome noise!

If you are looking at cheerful hosts and a lovely and off-beat room, you are at the right place :) Yohana and Bagus were the perfect hosts - from picking us up late night from the train station, to helping us with hand-drawn maps and tips in Yogya, to sharing their ideas and thoughts and taking us to show their sustainability project at Tembi village followed by local dinner. We loveed the concept of the FrogStay - a community of local artisans who are constantly innovating sustainable ideas. Yohana is also a great cook, made some yummy banana pancakes and fried rice for us and Bagus is sich a talented artist! The room was great! a cozy bed with mosquito nets and a semi-open toilet experience. Don't look out for worldy comforts, I bet you will still get a sound sleep here! We loved staying with this energetic and super friendly couple and glad that we made new friends. If you are in Yogya, you should definitely spend some time at the Frog Stay. Highly recommended!

A fantastic quiet homestay. Both Maria and Bagus being super friendly and helpful; even picking us up at a horrible time in the morning! Our room was completely original; not like anything we had stayed in before, and really comfortable. Much recommended place to stay, you won't be disappointed. Maria and Bagus will be sure to look after you!!

Description was accurate . host always available with a smile

Blue steps is truly beautiful. The ambience ... watching fireflies on the edge of the ricefields and listen to the paddy's frogs & other critters while lolling about in the warm pool at night: amazing. The staff are delightful: lovely Lina can help you find anything you want to buy. Great, reasonably priced food. The only drawback - the cost for each extra guest is rather high.

Villa Blue Steps, Koen, Lina and the rest of their team are phenomenal! This is an amazing villa, just book it! Highly, highly recommended!

Unbelievable view! Very secluded and peaceful. Highly recommend it if that is what you are looking for!! The calamari and iced macchiatos are fantastic too if that's what you're looking for.

My husband and I had a great week-long stay at Koen and Lina's joglo. The house is clean, comfortable and stylish. The bathrooms are huge. The view is extremely beautiful. Loved jumping in the pool to cool off. Having a restaurant on the premises is super-helpful with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Worth being outside of Jogja for the quiet. Their driver, Alvin, was great taking us in and out of the city as well as on adventures to Borobudur and Prambanan. Highly recommend this airbnb.

This villa was so amazing place! The view was significant and beautiful. And the owner of the Villa was so kind to us and said wellcome to us directly!

Great

Villa Blue Steps is an amazing place with an even better staff. The staff was super cordial and friendly, always ready to assist but never overbearing. The views are spectacular and the restaurant just steps away was an added perk (vast local and western menu). Breakfast was provided as well as water, fresh towels, cleaning and makeup of the room. The staff even brought in fresh flowers one day and an evening snack with coffee/tea while we were seated by the pool. Mr. Koen provided his driver Alvin each day for a reasonable price along with pickup from the airport. There were also mountain bikes available free of charge for our trek through the village nearby. There are not enough good things to say about this villa. Overall everything was really nice and convenient. A truly great experience!

This place is just like heaven. The villa is very well decorated. The rooms are big and the outside bathrooms are wonderful. The persons taking care of the houses are the nicest persons. The restaurant is next to the house and the price are low compared to the high quality of the food. No need to go somewhere else. Do not hesitate to ask for the contact driver who will show you all the must see. The view in front of the house is worth every penny. Let's find a down....well the house is missing a safe. That s it. Otherwise all is stunning. Thanks again

Kvlatresna is a lovely French style villa, where guests can experience healthy lifestyle in a secluded village in Java. You'll have an almost 360 degree view of greeneries, fresh air every time and healthy food. The two most surprising moments there for me were to wake up with glorious morning sunshine every day and a good traditional massage by a villager there that really normalized my aching body. Love them!

Accommodation: BEST airBnB we ever stayed in! Like a breath of fresh air! Very inspirational and serene. Didn't want to leave. Cleanliness: impeccable Location: tranquil, surrounded by beautiful nature, great for walks, can be hard to get to and from without private transport. Host can help arrange for food and transportation but otherwise not so easy to find close by. 1 hour drive from the airport 1h 15 min in the early morning to Borobudur temple in Magelang Ca. 40 min to Jogjakarta Host/staff: very friendly and helpful Wifi: right now not available. so you would need and Indonesian SIM card. My best friend and I had a wonderful stay in Kvlatesna. The lovingly restored and modernized traditional Javanese "Joglo"-style house is bright and airy. Surrounded by nature it was the perfect getaway from the big city I live in. If you're looking for tranquility and a place to rest and recharge this is THE place. I could spend all day on the porch and listen to the wind in the trees and birds and crickets. When we arrived everything was lovingly prepared, with flowers picked from the garden, and bath salt prepared for us to enjoy a bath in the lush and clean outdoor bath. The villa is situated in a lovely village in the forest on the outskirts of Yogyakarta. It feels more like a forest than a village, it's very quiet and serene. Only a few minutes walk from the village there are two different waterfalls. It's beautiful to just go out for a walk. The host arranged transportation and all other needs, like food and massage, private dining for an extra fee for us.

I had a lovely stay at this somewhat unknown and secluded villa. It was just what I was looking for. An escape from the city hussle and bustle. The staff were great and the food was good. The villa is well maintained and neat and tidy. I liked the outdoor bath and shower. Just when I started to wind down - it was time to leave - and I should have stayed longer. Ideal spot to relax in the Java countryside.

I had a great stay at KVLATRESNA. I love to travel to Jogja for its cultural experiences, tranquility, and relaxation. I had all in one old-charming Javanese studio-house, from beautiful amenities like a pantry-kitchenette (complete appliances from cold-pressed juicer, food processor, blender, etc), big bathroom with outdoor bath that can fit for 2, ready-to-cater helpers at kitchen that can provide me with cuztomized healthy vegan/vegetarian options straight from organic farms and markets (they're pretty well connected with the mindful-eating communities), to masseur, yoga and meditation teacher coming to visit you, plus a lush tranquil environment, natural abundance all around. I love that they can cater to fresh organic green juice and coconut water with meat/flesh. Thank you Anna for the memorable moments, it's a holistic experience for me. Feel safe and secured at your place. Feel at home. Love to you, Frans, and Endah.

What I love the most about Kvlatresna is it's tranquil and peace feelings created from this house. Surrounded by teak forests, rural neighbourhood, fresh air, good provided healthy food are some of the best things that I experienced. All towels, linens, kitchenette are well provided. I love it's kitchenette! Small, beautiful and complete. The outdoor lush bathroom is such an experience that I rarely get in the city house. It's not far from a small waterfall named "Curug Pulosari". Just 15minutes walking distance from the house. 1 night is not enough for me. Definitely will arrange longer stay at this house in future.

Hmmm... where to start! This was my first time in Indonesia and Arief was literally the perfect introduction to a lovely country. He radiates positive energy and is always so happy and genuine. He will work with your driver and meet you so you won't get lost finding his tucked away property. The house is gorgeous and beautiful renovated. Breakfast every morning is a dream... he even sent us with some pastries one day when we left very early to watch the Borobudur sunrise. You will shower in the open air and be surrounded by lush plants. Arief is kind, generous, and a superb host. I believe Airbnb was designed with just these sorts of places in mind... unique environment, introduction to local food and culture, and such a memorable experience! Thank you Arief!

What a wonderful place and lovely host! Arief gave us an amazing service the three days that we stayed in the Limas and we were very happy, we booked this private house in his garden. A lot of space, good bed, a private terrace were you can hang-out, the outside bathroom is spacious, a nice kitchen with a fridge (including cold beers :)) and a gas hob to cook your eggs in the morning (the rest of the breakfast was served, with fresh fruits every morning, cake, tea or coffee and bread or croissants). During the day, if you are there, there were always little snacks to eat like peanuts or shrimp crackers. We did also buy a few things ourselves in the supermarket to put in the fridge. The first night Arief arranged a nice local dinner for us from a warung in the neighbourhood. We could stay at home and he brought us the food, which was a luxury. Arief arranged a very good driver/tour guide for us to see the surroundings. His name is Sutarman. He knows a lot about the high lights in the environment of Yogya and he knows good places to eat local food. It was so nice to meet Sutarman and his family and to book him for a day (or 2) we could highly recommend him. His English is good, he is cleaver, he is funny, caring about you as a guest and his understanding what a tourist/guest wants is very good. Arief is a very good communicator, he informs you very well, his English is very good, he is helpful and very kind. We met his partner and his friends which was lovely, they are so friendly, relaxed and open minded, it was a beautiful memory to have dinner with them and Arief. We saw it as an inside look in his live and a nice possibility, beside our own plans during the day, to know something more about the local live in Yogya :) The 3 dogs are watchful, but friendly. Especially Cookies is devoted. We highly recommend this place, because we had a very good time here! Cheers, Suzanne and Wilco

Beautiful beautiful place - definitely my best Airbnb experience ever! The place is so clean, the photos don't do justice! Hotel level of service (cleaned every day). A little bit out of the way but if you have a driver, this is not a problem ! Clean air, private, very tranquil...! LOVE the open shower --- overlooking small but beautiful zen garden. Arief is so kind and hospitable...thank you for waiting for our arrival every night. Plus, there is 3 little sausage dogs, they're fun and also welcome you when you arrive!!

I was traveling with my girlfriend and stayed for one night at Arief's place. he and his friend were very kind and made us feel welcome. it is a little bit outside of Yogja but it is a place of wonders. quiet and peaceful place with a beautiful garden. very romantic! nice and clean house and they even cooked for us and brought us to the city when we asked them to! thank you guys very much!

Nestled in a small kampong 40 min. drive from Jogja citycenter you`ll find this little heaven on earth, tucked away from all the noise and traffic. Surrounded by banana trees, lotus flowers and just the sound of pure nature lies a wonderful traditional limasan house with all its beauty and originality. I immediately felt the good spirit of this place. Arief is one of the kindest people I have met and was so attentive and positive. Simply an amazing host. He would always have time for conversation and is of the kind that takes really good care of his guests. He knows the area well and gave us good advice seeing places of interests. His partner Narto was our driver the whole week and took us wherever we wanted to go and waited patiently for us when doing sightseeing. Such a nice and good man who knows the streets and roads of Jogja! We highly recommend his ceramic classes held in his private home. We fell in love with Arief´s three puppies, especially Kukies who paid us a visit on the veranda every day. We would sit for hours outside looking at his wonderful garden drinking fresh mango juice. The staff was incredible and helpful too, and we felt so safe and spoiled. Breakfast was complimentary and tasted like heaven, always a new traditional local dish every day. It felt so sad to leave and I will miss everything about Ariefs place. This was so memorable and I will highly recommend til place to everyone visiting Jogja. A million thanks to Mas Arief - for hosting us.

We have had amazing time at Arief's place! The best home-stay and Airbnb experience I have had so far! The house is lovely - traditional, yet with all the amenities incl. hot shower, drinking water dispenser and wifi. We have spent hours sitting on the sofa on the terrace looking at the beautiful garden, drinking fresh ginger tea and playing with the dogs. Just being there makes you happy! Arief is an amazing host and did everything in order to accommodate us; no wishes were left unfulfilled! He knows very well the area and people who do clay pots, batik, etc. and you can join the workshops they offer. He can also organise airport transfer and transportation to Borobudur and other places of interest. If you are looking for a quiet place outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, search no more!

Arief could not have been a more fantastic host. Really, we were astounded at the level of hospitality and care he showed to us. As soon as we arrived he made us feel welcome with mango juice and almond cake treats! He even supplied our dinner on the first evening as he was giving a party for his friends, and they made the best sayur lodeh :) Arief is very friendly and open, and excited to share his little piece of Javanese life with you, his ideas of philosophy and sharing are also very inspiring. The house is surrounded by beautiful villages and scenery, it is very calming and a lovely place to get away from the craziness of Jogja. Not to mention Arief's private garden is gorgeous too! You could spend hours lying on the day bed watching the leaves falling. This is definitely my favourite airB&B experience and I will be back very shortly. Thank you so much!

Arief is a very friendly, kind, humble, gracious and accommodating host. He was very helpful in arranging transport for us, and even sent us directions to his place in Bahasa (the Indonesian language) for our driver. He made sure we were well fed when we arrived hungry (the food was delicious and beautifully presented.) The house was an incredibly beautiful old Javanese wooden house, with intricate wood carvings and lovely eclectic furnishings. There was also a dramatic and very fragrant flower arrangement in the room, with flowers from Arief's amazing garden. The location is a bit out of the center of the city, but the lush jungly landscape and friendly locals make the extra drive more than worth it. We had some great talks with Arief, but he was never intrusive, always very considerate. We were sad to leave, and look forward to staying at this unique and very enjoyable homestay again!

Zoeff's place is private, quiet, and wonderful. The accommodations are simple (cold shower) but arranged in a lovely manner and the grounds are beautiful . The best part of our stay was the food and hospitality of Zoeff and his friends. Breakfasts were delicious!

This is a dreamy little slice of paradise which was more than just a roof over our heads, it was our home from home. "When you stay here you are not my guests you are family," said Agus on our arrival, and both Zoeff and Agus - our two gracious and attentive hosts - cooked, cleaned and cared for us to help make us feel incredibly comfortable. Staying here was easily one of our most memorable and pleasurable bits of our honeymoon in Java. The actual room itself, is both rustic and spacious with nice little decor touches throughout. There's a big back and front yard to chill-out in and you have your own basic kitchen to cook, but to be fair we didn't do much cooking as our hosts provided us with delicious home cooked meals as well as packed lunches/ breakfasts for our excursions. Always on hand to make our stay as comfortable as possible, they gave us great advice on the best places to visit as well as providing us with a great link to a personable and cost-effective Taxi service who was on hand to take us anywhere we wanted to go at anytime. This is important as the house is a little off the beaten track and a good 40 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Yogyakarta, so reliable and good transport is essential. Whilst in Java we stayed in boutique hotels, tree and beach houses, but staying here competed well with all of these as well as being a great little taste of traditional Java. Not only is it great value for money, it is also a place where you're greeted and treated like a treasured member of the family. Easily one of the best bits of our stay. Highly recommended. Book it, you won't regret!

This place is just awesome ! It is really a tradititional house in a perfect environment, a very peacefull place. In the house everything was clean, and well organize. We had everything we need, and even more ! But the most important thing was the kindness of our hosts: Zoeff and Agus. From the moment we arrive we were considered like family, always paying attention to us. They helped us to plan our visits, and always give us good advices. The house is a little far from Yogjakarta's center, but with taxi it was ok. If you're looking for a nice place to stay near Yogjakarta, this place is perfect!

Our stay Zeoff and Agus has been incredible! First of all, the location is very quiet in the middle of nature. Second of all, the house itself is very nice, spacious with very home-like feeling! Third, the hosts are incredible! Very attentive, sweet and caring people. We had the pleasure to enjoy the home cooking and breakfasts (which are very nice indeed), the juices at Agus's bar and assistence of either of them. I highly recommend a stay over if you want to experience tranquility, good food (either theirs or their neighbours) and a rural/village atmosphere (Kadri got to do aerobics with the locals, me soccer) not far ftom Jogja. The only downside is that if you book it, we can't anymore...

Zoeff was great, we arrived to find a really nice and quiet place to unwind and relax. Zoeff went out off his way to make us feel comfortable and cooked us a great meal for dinner. Will definitely return again.

Zoeff is a gentle and sweet person, and he has all these nice friends who always offer help. His place is far from town and airport, but you will be rewarded with a quiet peaceful atmosphere, which is hard to find these days.

The place is absolutely amazing! I stayed with my girlfriend for two days en we had a lovely time! We were in paradise! Zoeff and his brother Agus were the best hosts we ever experienced. The place is a bit far from jogja but you can go there by cab. Also zoeff and Agus brought us a few times to the centre and showed us around so we go a special tour. You can walk in the Village and feel like you are in a small jungle and there is a kindergarten nearby what was really fun to visit. The bed is really comfortable and the place was very clean. If you need anything they will help you out and even bring food. We made wonderful friends with them and we defiatelly go back sometime. Loved every minut!

This place brought you to the other side of javanese living,, just transfer you to the childhood when you visiting grandma's house.. You only can hear nature sounds,, the decoration was perfect, it's all antiques.. Thank you for your hospitality.. The breakfast also great.. Will see you again

Marc's villa marked my 150th different Airbnb stay. (130 in Hong Kong; 20 internationally. I know, I have a problem...) And I can honestly say it was the best one yet. Tucked into a super-local Indonesian neighborhood, Marc has filled his villa with treasures he discovered in the Rajasthan state of India. It has a private porch overlooking the pool; a bathroom so large, it has a separate seating area; a super comfy day bed; and a terrific fresh breakfast awaiting in the morning. Another highlight? An above-and-beyond host. Marc welcomed us on our first evening there, shared the history of the villa, offered local insights and upon departure, he even had his helper drive us to the airport. Yogyakarta is not on the beaten path for many folks. But Marc's villa makes the extra trek well worth it. Thank you again, Marc, for an amazing stay.

Hanna and Marc are really friendly and nice hosts. They helped us to come around in Jogja. The accommodation is a small villa on a bigger property. Everything looks like on the pictures. However you have to like the open design of the accommodation. I can totally recommend to stay there. It was a really nice stay there.

El alojamiento de Marc es perfecto para pasar unos días en Jogykarta; además de relax puedes visitar la ciudad con las indicaciones de Marc. El y Ana os ayudarán en todo lo que les pidáis para hacer vuestra estancia la mejor. Además, es muy indicado para ir con niños por las flexibilidad que hay en la casa.

This has been our best Air B&B in Indonesia. The place is absolutely beautiful; it is worth taking pictures just like you would at one of the sites. The staff was great. Hannah was so nice; made us drinks when we first entered. We checked in five hours early and were treated so well. They were able to arrange a tour for us while our room was being set up. Rice fields nearby with explanations from Hannah on how to get there. Only thing to watch out for is after it rains, slugs appear on the property which makes it pretty slippery.

Très grande villa de style avec belle déco ou l'on se sent bien , piscine paradisiaque, un service irréprochable, goob vibes.... Marc saura vous guider pour vos multiples espapades

Logement typique qui nous plonge direct en vacances avec une piscine topissime, un cadre ultra agréable. Marc et Anna sont aux petits soins avec nous, ils donnent des conseils, font profiter de leurs expériences. La petite maison est vraiment très jolie et décorée avec gouts. Petit déjeuner très bon et compris dans le prix. Nous recommandons ce logement sans hésiter!

La maison est magnifique. Marc et son staff sont d'une extrême gentillesse et sont aux petits oignons pour leurs hôtes : suggestions de restaurants, de sorties, .... Si la note de 6 étoiles existait : on lui donnerait. Merci encore pour ce séjour.

Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits dans la belle maison de Marc et profité de la piscine. Le logement est bien situé pour visiter les temples et la ville. Nous avons pu louer des scooters directement auprès de Marc. Très bonne communication et disponibilité pour nous aider dans la logistique de notre voyage.

Dormir à frog stay a été une super chouette expérience pour nous. Après les bouchons et la pollution de jakarta ou nous avons dormis une nuit c'était une bouffée d'oxygène de se faire accueillir dans cette merveilleuse petite communauté. Nous y avons rencontré des personnes très intéressantes toutes plus passionnée et passionnantes les une que les autres. Le petit village autour est authentique et nous étions les deux seuls «blanche neige» du coin nous avons donc été accueilli de merveilleux sourires bienveillants. Nous avons pu également louer des scooter à frog stay très facilement et nous avons eu pleins de précieux conseils du staf pour visiter les environs. Hautement recommandé ! À noter: pour le sommeil léger, la chambre est proche de la nature et de plusieurs moquées. Dépaysement garanti!

We stayed at FrogStay for 3 nights. Communication was very easy. Yohana and her team are really helpful and friendly. We booked 5 nights, but it was no problem to leave 2 nights earlier because our plan changed. The accommodation was a bit outside the city but with the driver of the homestay or with crab you can get there fast and cheap. We loved it staying in this wonderful place in the nature, even the mosques were very loud in the morning.

If you're looking for a trip to getaway from the city life, looking for cultural yet artsy activities while mingling with new interesting friends, then Frog Stay is the answer. It was an impromptu trip for me yet the crew has provided me with so much good recommendations on where should I go or do during my stay. I did Batik with Mas Bagus and the result was super amazing! So don't be afraid to travel by yourself and experience Jogja with Mba Yo and the rest of crew! Would definitely come here again.

Great place, clean + simple, very friendly + helpful staff, great quiet location a little bit out of the busy part of the city,

One of the most lovely place i ever stayed! Will definitley return!

Such a beautiful place to stay! I'll book it again later

Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un lieu authentique a l'abris des zones touristiques, si vous ne craignez pas de croiser quelques poules sur votre passage et des personnes souriantes alors n'hésitez pas. Plus qu'un simple logement, le frog a été pour nous un lieu de rencontres riches, belles et inoubliables. Tenu par une équipe en or ❤️

Our stay at the FrogHouse was wonderful! It was a nice retreat from the busy cities at the riverside. The bungalows are beautifully furnished and the whole place is just really nicely laid out. The people were lovely as well, having always been super friendly and helpful. They also have a nice little shop for the batik that they're making as well as for other handicraft. It's worth taking a look! :) Great for relaxing, especially if one likes chickens as much as I do :D

The villa is a great place to get away for the busy city but still close enough to visit Yogya and borobodur. Keep in mind that you have to travel by car. Mila helped us out by arranging a driver for us. The villa is absolutely beautiful, it has everything you need and more. It is kept very clean and tidy. There is a good restaurant within walking distance, it is called blue steps. Mila was a great host, she was always available and very helpful.

We loved staying here and enjoyed every moment of it. The villa is more nicer than its pictures. Spacious outdoor area. The pool was fantastic, really clean and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The villa is getting cleaned every day. 45 minutes from airport and 15/20 minutes from the city center. Mila and Pascal were there to give us a very warm welcome and was extremely helpful in providing all sorts of information on places to see and places to eat... all worthwhile! Highly recommended!!

This is a lovely, newly built villa, very comfortable with a great pool and beautifully maintained garden. The living space is outdoors with several large couches for relaxing. Mila and Pascal were good hosts - they made us breakfast, arranged a driver for us, and gave advice on local restaurants and shops. Very helpful! Note that this villa is outside of central Yogyakarta, down a gravel path off the main road. It is a peaceful area next to rice fields. You will need to arrange transportation (the hosts can help) to get to most restaurants and shops as there are not taxis driving by (and limited places in walking distance). Easy to get places on a scooter. After a day of sightseeing, we enjoyed returning to relax in the pool!

I would highly recommend staying at Villa Tropicana. The living area is stunning and Mila keeps the place spotless. Mila was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. She was always there to provide assistance to us whenever we asked. The villa is a little far from the main city, but it is worth it for the peace and quiet. It's very easy to arrange transit around the city and there is an amazing restaurant next door for meals. Thanks for the great stay, we hope to visit again!

A group of 4 of us stayed at the villa for 4 nights! Kudos to Mila and Pascal who welcomed us on a very short notice and even decorated the villa with flowers- A touch of home! Mila and Pascal were very friendly and approachable. They were also efficient and helped us get certain stuffs we needed. Heed their recommendations as well!! The villa was cleaned everyday and we really appreciated going back to a clean home after a day's king of activities The pavilion was a great place to chill, to laze, to gather. The pool was awesome! Nearby there's a great restaurant Blue Steps highly recommended by our hosts and it really did not disappoint! The food and ambience was great! We went there around 8pm and missed the view. But i believe it would have been a excellent choice for lunch/dinner and watch the sunset. We had our best meal of the trip there! Location wise, the villa is definitely more secluded. Just be sure to give the driver your address and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps will settle that for you. There are mosquitos and lizards outside the bedroom so do prepare some sprays or mosquito patches. Otherwise they do provde mosquito spray & coils as well! Fresh bath and pool towels are also changed on a daily basis. Regrettably we were out most of the days, otherwise the wonderful pool woukd have been put to better use! If you choose a villa like this, be sure not to pack your entire trip with outdoor activities! A villa to choose if you are looking for a break from all the city hustle bustle and to enjot tjme together with your friends and family!

The villa is as described, very comfortable for family stay. We got 3 bedrooms (2 with aircon, 1 with fan) for 3 couples and 1 infant. The hosts are very communicative and thoughtful to our queries before and during our stay there. The breakfast are nice and freshly made by the hosts themselves! Although the location is quite far from the city crowd and the access from main road is quite challenging, especially at night, it was a pleasant stay for us. We'll definitely recommend this for a vacation in Jogja.

very nice place...tempat untuk rehat dari kesibukan
