    The room is a little small for two people and wish the koi pond/fountain had more water in it. We felt sorry for the little fish.

    The location was perfect. There many good restaurants and trendy stores close. The owner was very nice. We always had water and coffee available. Excellent shower with hot water!

    A quiet and comfortable place to relax in Yogyakarta

    The shower temperature was a little challenging, alternating between very hot and a bit cold. The bathroom isn’t entirely separate from the one next door (there’s a gap at the top of the wall, very high up) but no one was using that bathroom while we were there so it was all fine.

    A lovely, comfortable, and quiet hostel close to busy and interesting parts of Yogyakarta. I appreciated the coffee, water dispenser, washing machine, comfortable places to sit. The rooftop was really nice — you can see a nearby volcano when it’s clear!

    - (I want to reiterate that this property is exceptional and the things below are extremely minor) - It was not clear to me that it is a cash only property, and I had some confusion with this (especially because it takes a credit card to confirm the booking). The owner explained he cancels the credit card payment before it happens as long as you check in on time. This all ended up being fine, and the owner was very kind, letting me get settled in and checking my documents to double check that. I still think it could be clearer in the process - While the private bathrooms are private, the wall between them does not completely separate the rooms. While it is still impossible to see into the other bathroom, you can still hear noises from the other side of the partition (which didn’t bother me, but I could see it being an issue if you are a little more self-conscious) - While it’s called a hostel, it didn’t have the hostel vibes I was expecting. Although I was in a private room, there aren’t really shared common spaces and I didn’t really see many other people around. I think this could be a positive or negative depending on your preferences.

    - This is a really great place! - The owner is very helpful, and provided 2 water bottles and biscuits each day of the stay - The bed is very comfy with a fly screen - Internet was very fast - Toiletries provided - Everything was clean and of a very high quality (it has all been renovated recently so everything is new or refurbished to a high standard)

    We really enjoyed our stay at Zen Moon. The location was perfect with lots of nice restaurants nearby. It was like a little oasis in a busy city! The room has a lovely outside bathroom, a mosquito net and the price for a double-room is unbeatable. The owner was lovely and always provided tea, coffee, hot water and biscuits.

    There was a cockroach in the bathroom on my last day, which I was surprised at, because the bathroom was quite clean. It scuttled away though, so didn't really bother me. The shower temperature would fluctuate from hot to cold but again, didn't bother me too much. Despite this, I'd really recommend staying here

    The host was very helpful and friendly. He suggested a place to rent a scooter and where to get a bus to Magelang. The location is great, it's a short walk to shops, restaurants and ATMs. The bus stop is a 10 minute walk away, although I mainly used a scooter. The hostel is in a side road, so is fairly quiet. The beds were comfortable, the dorm and bathroom was really clean and the WiFi and air conditioning worked perfectly. There was a free water refill and some toiletries provided. There is also a nice rooftop to relax.

    The rooms are a bit small, but there's a chair and plenty of space to set things. The bathrooms are very spacious.

    This accommodation was amazing. The photos don't look as nice as it is. It's perfectly clean and comfortable. There's always hot water and tea/coffee. The manager is very kind and always keeping things tidy. I'm not sure there was actually breakfast...

A lovely rooftop terrace, amazing sunsets and you can see the top of the merapi when the sky is clear enough Very comfortable, good bed with mosquito net. Hot tea/coffee always available. And a lovely bathroom. Friendly and nice host. I can totally recommend this place.

    Incredible hostel with dorms and private rooms in Yogyakarta. The rooms were super clean, comfortable, and well-taken care. I especially liked the bathrooms and little garden! The location is great. It’s in an alley, so you do not hear much noise except a mosque nearby. There’s several good restaurants close by. The host was super friendly and can help you arrange tours or transportation if needed.

    Just the small smell but that’s ok at the end of the day.

    The location was great. Lots of good restaurants walking distance away and stilll quiet because off the main road. The beds were super comfy and actually nicer than the pictures. The courtyard and terrace were nice. The shower was good and towels were provided. It was a bit moist smelling in the room, but honestly didn’t ruin anything. I would stay again. Private rooms looked really nice too. The dorm is where I stayed. I’d request bottom bunk but each had a little table inside so that was lovely. I recommend eating at Mie Sapi - soooo good and cheap. Ate there a few times! Anna’s was good for scooter rental too. Staff were friendly too
