Situated in Jepara, 2.1 km from Bandengan Beach, Garden House Jepara offers accommodation with a fitness room. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Very nice house and great hosts. Most people pass through Jepara on their way to the Karimunjawa. We stayed here for 4 days and had a great time. Thanks to Peter to set us up with motorcycles, snorkeling gear, taking us on a hike and generally being a welcoming host.

Set within 1.6 km of Borobudur Temple and 40 km of Yogyakarta Tugu Train Station, Bhumi Kasuryan Borobudur offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Borobudur. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Our stay at Bhumi was absolutely amazing! The place is located in a quiet and beautiful area, just couple of minutes walk from the temple. We intended to stay for only one day but ended up extending. The staff was wonderful and super helpful. We borrowed bicycles and went for a ride around the village and they helped us to arrange transport to the city and get to the station. They made everything easy and comfortable for us. The food was also amazing. The facilities are clean and beautiful exactly as on the pictures.

Located in Magelang and only 1.3 km from Borobudur Temple, Maher House Borobudur provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. Guests staying at this homestay have access to a balcony. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Wonderful staff and a great spot to stay for a night if you are visiting Borobudur. The staff organized a driver to take us at 4:30 AM to Punthuk Setumbu to watch the sunrise (lower your expectations – it’s not that impressive). We also used that time to visit the ‘Chicken Church’ (which is actually a pigeon), and afterward, we had an Indonesian breakfast. From there, we walked for about 10 minutes to reach Borobudur’s gate, where we bought the 8:30 AM climbing ticket, which I strongly recommend due to the heat.

Situated in Karimunjawa and only a few steps from Legon Lele Beach, Floating Paradise features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated guest house is located less than 1 km from Kanjen Beach and 2.8 km from Pancuran Beach. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Amazing location & fantastic service☺️Regarding the location, it’s built over the sea, just next to a mangrove area 🌊You can jump into the water from the property and snorkel there. They have goggles and snorkels free of charge. The water was clear even during rainy season. We saw many corals, giant clams and even some clownfish. They have kayaks for free of charge as well. We kayaked to Pantai Kanjen, where you can release baby turtles. In the morning, we saw the beautiful sunrise from our window and could hear the sound of the water below our bed. Regarding the service, the owners (Astrid and Tono) were very helpful even before our arrival. They messaged me and offered help to organize boat tickets, scooter rental and other transportation at very reasonable prices. After arrival, the host called Ben took very good care of us, he was very friendly, helpful and fun to chat with. At night he even showed us the bio-luminescent plankton which were visible from the deck. He definitely went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience! No AC, but it was a comfortable stay with a big ceiling fan. No hot shower, but it was not a big issue for us. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay. Definitely wanna come back!
