amazing hostel. The best value for money and the two ladies who run the hostel are the nicest people ever, so kind.

Lovely vibe and very intimate, which was nice. 'Free breakfast' was limited to one egg, despite there being plenty. The 'one egg rule' was an example of some slightly odd staff.

Very chill hostel, I enjoyed my time here! The best part was the staff and the things they organized. We had a lovely family dinner that we cooked together, which made it very easy to meet people. The small backyard was cute to chill at and the location was great!! Would definitely recommend if your looking for a social but chill hostel! The dorms are quite noisy and close to the chill area so keep that in mind if you are just here to sleep early.

I really loved my stay here and extended two times (partly also because I just loved Yogya). It is a rather small hostel but I always feel like in small hostels you can connect more easily and the atmosphere was just really sweet and homey?! So we went out for food together and to the Bar area close by

De locatie van het hostel is echt perfect, veel restaurants op loopafstand. Ik vond zelf het hostel alleen niet heel sociaal. Er werden niet echt activiteiten georganiseerd.

Overall is good. They even provide free breakfast. I stayed in the dorm with 3 level bunk bed. But unfortunately it was quite warm on top (only at this bed) because the room was cool and nice.

One of the loveliest hostels I’ve been too. The staff is so nice, always up to chat and making the place feel like home for a few days. The facilities were good and the hostel was social, it was really easy to meet people. The only thing I would improve is some hooks next to the outdoor sinks to hang up your towel and wash bag. Other than that 10/10

Great hostel with an awesome vibe. Free breakfast was a nice bonus, the staff were super friendly, and the common areas made it easy to hang out and meet people. Good location, great price, and solid kitchen facilities. Would definitely stay again.
