The view is good, the place is also comfortable, what is lacking is the road to the balkondes location, at night it is a bit lacking, there needs to be additional directions and lighting.

It was a pleasure to stay here. Although the entrance is a bit far inside and there is minimal lighting at night, it is very much paid off with the room and facilities. It is better to check in when it is bright to know the terrain of the road to the inn.

Fyi, ini tempatnya lumayan jauh ke pelosok desa belakang Borobudur, jadi buat yang mau kesini harus punya adrenalin tinggi. Pas dateng, tidak ada receptionist ala-ala penginpan karena ini dikelolah oleh penduduk desa setempat. Tempat super sunyi (kalo yang penakut sih ya wasalam). Tapi buat gengs yang anti mainstream, ini tempat terbaik sih. Tempatnya super sunyi, sepi tengah bukit, bersama suara alam liar 😎. Catatan untuk pengelolah: Penginapan berdebu & sedikit tidak terawat dan dibersihkan ala kadarnya saja, disayangkan saja, fasilitas sudah ala resort bintang 4 tapi tidak terawat dengan baik, takutnya ke depan hanya akan jadi gubuk tak berpenghuni karena lapuk. Thanks.

The place is nice, beautiful, fun, suitable for healing. It's just that the entrance is a bit inside. From the highway 4 km, enter the village. Nice beautiful place the rooms are also naturally clean. Don't be late to check in because of access to the forests. It's best to check in before dark.

Nilainya 3,5/10, jaringan Wi-Fi sangat lemah di area kamar bahkan sama sekali tidak tersedia jaringan Wi-Fi di area kamar, hanya ada Wi-Fi di lobby & lokasi lobby dari kamar sangat jauh menuruni bukit. Kebersihan kamar masih kurang, debu dimana-mana, kualitas furniture juga jelek, alas dipan kasar dan membuat kaki luka, channel TV juga hanya ada 1 channel. Air sempat kehabisan dan menunggu beberapa jam hingga akhirnya air menyala tengah malam, lokasi sangat jauh dari peradaban sehingga susah untuk keluar mencari makan di malam hari. Breakfast hanya nasi goreng rasa kecap tanpa diberikan minum teh/kopi. Lebih ditingkatkan lagi pelayanannya.

The hotel management is not professional, because the staff is only 1 person, when guests come the water turns off and only turns on at 10 pm, the wifi also doesn't reach the room and the tv can't be used either.

Actually, the place is really natural and still beautiful, only the access road is quiet so it looks like you are afraid of being robbed, the most criticism is for the road directions to be marked and street lighting to make it more attractive to tourists because the nets are really quiet.
