+ A 5 minuti di bici dalla citta. Bici messe a disposizione degli ospiti a gratis. Staff super amichevole, location e struttura che valgono più del prezzo che paghi. Ci sono attività a disposizione e gli alloggi sono spaziosi e freschi. È stato come essere a casa mia. Raccomando.

+ Social Ducks is an absolute gem in the Borobudur area. It’s super new and intentionally designed — so many little touches which make it feel more comfortable and nice than the average hostel. We stayed in the private room for two nights and the bunk beds were roomy, AC was strong, and WiFi worked well. The bathroom & shower setup is also lovely, with the best showers I’ve had in Indonesia so far. Just outside the hostel are gorgeous rice paddies you can walk through, and we also loved borrowing the hostel bikes to ride through the neighborhood — there are SO many cute cafes within walking or biking distance. The hostel owner is very kind and helpful, and they give lots of great food/activity recs on their Instagram. If you’re a backpacker or budget traveler staying in Borobudur (which you should!!), don’t hesitate to book Social Ducks.

- Breakfast was very basic (self-serve toast & coffee) though that may have just been the day we were there

Tutto stupendo bene! Il ragazzo alla reception; Danang è stata super gentile e ha soddisfatto le mie richieste. Camera pulita come anche il bagno, letto comodo e stanza fornita di aria condizionata. Caffè, acqua, tè gratis; anche bici in uso gratuito. Struttura era accessibile tramite codice. La posizione solo 7 minuti a piedi dal tempio di Borobudur. Insomma tutto quello che ci si può aspettare da un eccellente ostello, veramente consigliata; ci ritornerei senza dubbio ✨️

+ ロケーションは世界遺産のボロブドゥール遺跡にほど近く最高、落ち着いて自然に囲まれた雰囲気も最高です! 設備に関してはシンプルですが全く問題なく、快適に過ごせます。温水シャワーもあります。 ホストのRamaはとてもフレンドリーで親切、しかも日本語を勉強してるそうです

+ One of the nicest hostels I have ever stayed in. Rama is the best host - always making sure that you are having a great time. You can rent bikes for free to explore the beautiful nature around. The temple is only a short bike ride away.

Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber, wir konnten Fahrräder gratis ausleihen und in ca 20min ist man beim tempel. Das Frühstück ist sehr mangelhaft ausgefallen (schokoaufstrich und Toast) und das Personal war immer sehr verschlafen und nicht ganz anwesend oder bereit für gäste uns war es nicht ganz wohl in den allgemeingenutzen bereichen.

My stay here was absolutely exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything. The hostel is spotless, cozy, and has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The facilities are top-notch, the location is perfect, and the environment is just amazing overall. I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better experience — highly recommended! :)

+ I had such a great time at Social Ducks that I extended my stay from 2 days to 3 weeks! I loved everything about the hostel, the team was truly genuine and the place very cosy. Being there felt like being home... After 1 year of traveling in Asia, I can easily say that it was my favorite place to stay and one of the highlights of my trip! I really would like to thank Rama and Maya for taking care of us so well, every single day, and wish them the best of luck in their many beautiful projects.

+ オーナーさんはとても優しい人です、英語もインドネシア語もできないですが宿に着いたらあなたのお名前は?と日本語で声をかけて頂きとても嬉しかったです! とにかくすごく優しい方ですし、シャワーやトイレ、ドミトリーもとても清潔です。

- booking .comの住所を検索しても少し位置がずれて表示されます。ストリートビューでもまだ更地の状態ですので最初に辿り着くのに難ありです。

+ Perfect place to stay if visiting Borobudur and other places in and around Magelang. Rama is one of the best hostel owners I have met, having travelled across 33 countries. The hostel is very new and I hope it will become even better.

- Nothing that can bother me
