It was a perfect stay! The atmosphere felt like home. The room smelled so nice and Raharja was the best host ever! Miss this place every day! And I am sure I be back there one day!🫶🏻

Great place to stay when in Yogya. Rooms are comfortable. Great shower, bed and airconditioner. Nice and quiet place in the heart of the busy city. Surrounded by amazing restaurants and Cafes. This place has everything you need, highly recommended

The hostel was very comfortable and clean with great shared common spaces to work. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you need. The manager RD is a great guy and is happy to help guests with anything they need. In general, Happy Buddha has a very welcoming atmosphere and I would highly recommend anyone to stay here when in Jogja. Great quality for a good price!

Ardi is a great host! He gave us lots of tips and helped us where he could. The Hostel is very nice decorated and there a many cozy places such as hammocks to hangout. Location is also great. 100 % recommendation to stay there, thanks for everything Ardi! :)

I traveled for more than a year now in Asia and Happy Buddha is for sure in my top 5 of guesthouses. The whole vibe is great. Room is basic with a nice design, good bathroom (with a separated shower), the garden is beautiful with hammocks and cozy sitting areas and the staff is great. They will always have an open ear for you and match to your needs. I enjoyed every second here.

Awesome manager/ team! Happy and easy-going people. Location is also fantastic if you’re a backpacker and looking to socialise. It’s near to the backpackers street with many social cafes/ bars/ pubs nearby.

it was a very nice place with good vibes. The stuff was lovely and helpful and it it wasnt for them we would have missed the roof in Borobudur temple! <3 We felt very chilled and safe at the place, it has something to it simply :) great neighborhood with live music. simply a chill hostel, would def come back. good value for the money

Bathroom felt a bit dirty at times, but that’s something you have to expect when it is a shared bathroom. Would still definitely recommend!

The staff was nice and super helpful. He helped us find places to go, places to eat and where to go after Jogja. The room is small, but comfortable and clean. We were skeptical about having a fan and not an AC, but it turned out to be just fine. The hammocks are so chill, and the kitchen is big, well equipped and quite clean. The location is good for backpackers. ((The mosque did not bother us at all. It is a Muslim country, it’s part of the experience and mosques all over the city anyway.))

Be aware that the hostel is directly ext to a mosque which means that there will be noise at 4:30am ;) The hostel though provides you also with earplugs. We were in a room with fan only (we don't like aircon...) and there are small holes in the wall so you don't have much noise cancelling, but even so I didn't wake up 2/3 nights even without earplugs (but I also have a good sleep). I think that it's different for the AC rooms. The room seemed always warmer than outside so we had to ventilate before we went to sleep. (Final rating: 8,5)

It's a small hostel with many places to hang out and relax. The atmosphere is great!

The adjacent mosque was jarringly loud, they do offer ear plugs but it is still jarring

Amazing hostel, very social, beautifully decorated

Right next door to a Mosque. So you pretty much feel you are in the Mosque compound during the prayer times. The good news is that the prayers last for only for 5 minutes not long. That makes it bearable.

location is wonderful. Close to the main strip but tucked away on the inside. Room and the entire hostel was clean, looked like freshly painted. The batik throws in the room were lovely. The plants in the premises are lovely.

Everything is Perfect

nice Place to stay and thank you ardy for your help

Even though the hostel is next to the „backpacker street“ with restaurants and cafés it is a quiet place due to its location in one of the small crossroads. The staff is helpful, friendly, chilled and always ups for a joke. The building and interior are comfy, especially the hammocks in the garden. The rooms are simple but clean and have everything you need. Sharing a bathroom is not at all a problem, since there is a second toilet and due to the rather small size (thus only a few guests) of the accommodation. You will definitely hear the muezzins‘ calls from the surrounding mosques but you get used to it and in the end it‘s part of the experience :)

The Happy Buddha is the most beautiful hostel I've been to. The location in the city is perfect for exploring everything around. It has an relaxed and cosy atmosphere not only in the rooms but also in the common area where you can lie in the hammock all day. Ardy is the perfect host who is always up to answer any question, give you recommendations on the city or organize some tours for you. He also makes this such a beautiful place to feel home while travelling. If I get the chance I would definitely come back again. (Additionally the bananas growing there were the best I've ever had.)
