    Shower cabin flooded the toilet as well. A lot of hair was on the floor. A window right above the bed lets in a lot of light. Recommend to put a curtain there.

    Friendly host. Quiet location in a side street. The host can give you lots of information about the area. The spacious beds in the room.

    The husband and wife who own this hostel have helped me a lot since the first day I arrived. We often chatted about the places I should see in the city and they gave me good recommendations. Owner Yos helped me a lot to rent a motorbike and even took me to places that provide motorbike rental services with his own motorbike. Yos is a very good man. The hostel was very clean, you can use the kitchen, the internet is good and there are many places to eat locally and markets in the area. There is also a seating area in the garden and beautiful fish you can watch :)

    There were a few questions about the local sites that they couldn’t answer which I was surprised about. I passed on all the information I found out though so that should be solved now. Expect family home clean not hotel clean. We didn’t mind at all but just an fyi.

    We enjoyed being in an area with the locals and not surrounded by the tourists. The couple who own the property were very helpful. Excellent recommendations for local food to try! We were grateful for the Gudeg recommendation! Very welcoming and friendly. Great vale for money.

    Friendly host, clean and comfortable hostel that is located right in the middle of the artistic city. A good place for those who like to visit ArtJog and explore the neighborhood of the Ngampilan.

    We were very well received. The hostes were very helpful and friendly. The hostel is well placed with everything around and a really quite street, which is hard to find. There's a kitchen where we could cook, which is nice in case that you gonna go for a sunrise ride by yourself, and everything is closed. The room was very comfortable and perfect for 2 people.

    This is no fault of the hosts, but the tour to Borobudur and Prambanagan on their information sheet did not go well for us. Poorly organised, a lot of waiting around and ridicously overpriced if you have been to other temples in asia. We paid for the full experience but only got half.

    A lovely family run hostel! The hosts were very welcoming and got us settled in quickly. They were very happy to help with suggestions for places to visit and restaurants to eat at. They also have a basic kitchen set up for you to use if you wish, with 2 gas stoves, fridge, toaster, and utensils. Facilities are basic and clean, but the beds are comfortable, and it is perfect for a couple of nights stay to explore Yogy.

    Such lovely and kind hosts, they were so helpful with recommendations, and even took me to the pharmacy when I was sick. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the entire hostel feels very homely with a lovely outside area. A very good location and affordable! I would definitely recommend if you're looking to stay with great Jogja locals and are on a budget.

    The shared bathroom and fridge could really do with a deep clean, but considering the price of this place I think you have to expect to get what you pay for. I'd still recommend it if you're not fussy.

    The hosts are really friendly and attentive. Nice, quiet location and walking distance to the train station and Malioboro.

    The bathroom was very rustic, the room’s window didn’t have glass and the bed had no sheets only one small blanket.

    The owners were lovely, they helped with everything.

    The hostel is not in the center as they say and I did not feel like it's a backpacker hostel at all. When I came there there were only two local families with small children and no other travellers. I switched hostels after 1 day.
