Nothing.

This Homestay is very close to Borobodur temple. I can easily say that our 2 night stay exceed our expectations. Ika (Owner of the homestay) and her wife made everything to make us feel like home. He gave very good tips about nearby locations, we make a cycling tour together and also he drive us to sunrise. They prepared breakfast for us even though we didn’t booked the room with breakfast. I would give 11 out of 10 if its possible :)

Nothing

We loved the courtesy and hospitality of our hosts. They did everything to make us feel good and comfortable. We received generous advice, and a lot of help from them. To visit Bodobudur or even to enjoy art and local life of this small city this is the perfect place. There is a beautiful garden and its really neer the temple. You will easily feel like home! Thank you so much for everything !

really amazing stay with the hosts! Ika sent me useful tips before arriving. They took me like a honorable guest. I went to Sunrise tour in accompy with Ika. He showed me the best point. After visiting, they sent local snacks as a gift. Definitely recommended to stay here!

This should be your first choice if you want excellent, no-frills accommodation that meets the needs of all reasonable people, but with something special thrown in. This is a family-run place. The family live on-site but you have your own room and facilities. The family are very welcoming and went far beyond what was expected to make me feel at home. They are delightful. It made my experience of Borobudur exceptional. Ika (hope I got your name right) helped with the booking to see Borobudur at sunrise and even accompanied me at this very early hour. He is a very considerate person and the whole family made me feel very welcome. The room itself meets all basic needs: clean bathroom , a firm supportive bed for a good night's sleep and air con to keep you cool from the intense heat of the day. The room opens out on to a pleasant garden with a veranda which is good for reading and relaxing. Borobudur is very close by - you can easily walk it. A choice of fantastic no-frills but excellent restaurants are also just around the corner. I have no reservations about recommending this place.

Almost nothing. I suggested the host to prepare some shampoo and shower gel for next guests and they noted

The 1 night stay at Efata was just such an amazing experience for me. The host- Ika and Yani were just so much welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location is nearby the Borobodur and Ika kindly offered to give us a lift to there in early morning (4:00 am) and showed us the best spot to watch the sunrise. The facility is basic however it is clean with a great view to the garden. I am glad to have friends and a place to stay if I come back to Borobodur

Ika is just amazing and knowledgeable host. The sunset experience at Borobudur he had organized for me exceeded my expectations. The breakfast with Javanese sweet was delicious. The facility is simple but sufficient and Ika's family more than compensate for it with their hospitality. Good central location but away from main street so more quiet.

We were only able to stay one night. Would have loved to stay another night and explore more parts of the city.

What a fantastic place to stay! Our host Ika was amazing from the minute we met him. We were shown to our room and met his wife and son. The room was spacious and extremely clean. Hot water shower with great water pressure. Our room had a balcony at the front and we sat their chatting with Ika about our adventures and ideas. Ika has maps and information on the surrounding area as well as some great books about Borobudur. If you are here to see Borobudur and want to have a local experience, then I would definitely recommend Efata Homestay. Ika was like a private tour guide without being too intrusive. He escorted us to Borobudur at 4am, bought our tickets for us at the hotel who runs the sunrise entry point, then walked with us to Borobudur to make sure we got the best position to see the sunrise across the temple. Once we were in place, Ika left us to enjoy this amazing place!! We had breakfast at the hotel which is included in the sunrise ticket then went back to the homestay where Ika had some tea and snacks waiting for us. Don't hesitate to book this homestay. Ika takes pride in his homestay and genuinely wants his guests to feel at home and well looked after. 10/10 experience! Thanks so much Ika!
