Lovely homestay, Ika and Yani are great hosts. Ika was kind enough to drop me off at the Borobudur entrance, as well as the bus stop. The place was immaculate, and the breakfast delicious (including a memorable soto ayam). protip: if coming from yogyakarta, for 20K IDR the sinar jaya shuttle picks up from malioboro and drops off 10min walk away from the homestay . thank you Ika & Yani!!

A fantastic accommodation with lovely people. I couldn't have imagined a better start to my time in Java. Ika and Yani make every effort to ensure an authentic and enjoyable stay, a true homestay! Borobudur Temple is a 10-minute walk away. Cycling through Borobudur is a lot of fun, and airport transfers or onward to Yogyakarta are super convenient! I wish them both all the best.

Only one day we stay here, should be more than 2 days.

The owner is very kind, they give us an extra bed because the owner understands that we bring the kids.

We loved the kind hospitality of the hosts. The room was clean in a beautiful garden setting. Ike and his wife were so helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay a great one. Please remember to buy your ticket in advance for Borobudur temple.

Super friendly couple Ika and Yani were very warm, welcoming and helpful but also very relaxed and unobtrusive. Great insights into life in the area. Room simple but very clean and comfy bed. Great value for money. Free use of bikes was awesome and a great way to explore the area. Would highly recommend staying there.

Efata Homestay is a little haven of peace, just a short walk from the temple, on a quiet street. It’s run by a truly charming and welcoming Indonesian couple. The room is spacious and spotless, breakfast is delicious, and the value for money — and location — is unbeatable. Mr. Ika kindly offered to take me around to a few other places near the temple to make the most of my short visit to Borobudur. Such a thoughtful gesture. I 100% recommend staying with these people who clearly have a passion for hospitality.

This is a lovely homestay close to the Borobudur Temple (less than 10 mins to the gate). The host family lives there and are the most wonderful people. This property's location is amazing - restaurants, cafes, grocery stores are all less than 5 min walk from their house. They really went out of their way to make me comfortable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to both solo travelers as well as couples visiting the temple.

This homestay is super cozy! The owners, Ika and his wife, are really kind and will help with anything you need. The location is perfect—it’s like staying in a garden, and having afternoon tea in the yard is so relaxing. It’s close to Borobudur Temple,the main road is only a dozen meters away，and you’ll find lots of restaurants if you turn left outside, a convenience store if you turn right, and a supermarket right across the street. I’d suggest staying here a few extra days—the area is quiet and beautiful, with other temples and scenic spots nearby to explore. Such a lovely place to unwind!

Before I visit, I add the host WA. He gave me a lot of help and very kindly. The location is good and also room is good. The host can speak good English and also tried to give us a lot help if he could. We really enjoy to stay in their house and hope will visit next time.

The owners are lovely and friendly people. They can tell a lot about the place. Ika and his woman let feel you staying at home! Restaurants and shops are nearby. Sitting on the terrace you can enjoy the birds and butterfly’s in the green lush garden, listen to the choir of the frogs behind their house. The mosque is nearby, just enjoy it! 😇 Rooms are basic but clean. Very special: As the entrance of Borobodur now is more far away Ika brought us there with his own car, very kind.

My first impression is Green and nature. Ika and his wife Jenny are very kind, socialize and friendly. Jenny cooked very good local breakfast during my stay. Ika is very kind and helpful. As a host, both of them are beyond my expectation. Besides, warmly welcome we had shared very good life experiences together. Understand the culture and social norm of the place that one is visited is very important.

Ide and Yanni are excellent hosts, they are friendly, helpful and gave us lots of useful information. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed sitting outside our room overlooking the beautiful garden. Ide kindly took us in his car to the new entrance gate of the Buddhist temple.

The AC was not powerful enough and the wifi did not or only barely reach our room which was a bit unfortunate. Worked just fine on the terrace.

Very clean! Very lovely owners that were not too pushy regarding tours or information and respected our privacy. At the same time they were always happy to chat or provide more information if wanted. No mold in the bathroom, hot shower, little seating area in front of the room and no stains on towels or sheets (which is unfortunately very common in Indonesia). Breakfast was also good with a variety each day. Location close to lots of restaurants and in a quiet street so there is no traffic noise.

We had an amazing time with Ika and Yani at their homestay. They welcomed us wholeheartedly and made us feel right at home. We were able to borrow their bikes and had great bike tours thanks to their tips. Highlight at the end: Ika took us to see a tofu maker and explained the whole process. We feel very lucky to have visited that place that we would have definetly missed without Ika as our guide. The breakfast in the morning was also great with different local snacks each morning, fresh fruit and continental as well as local mains. Thank you for everything Ika and Yani!
