Located in Karimunjawa, within 2.1 km of Pancuran Beach, Loyal friend hostel karimunjawa is an accommodation offering sea views. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. Guests can have a drink at the bar. We LOVED our stay at the Loyal Friend Hostel. The hostel is cosy, there's plenty of space to chill and having breakfast in the morning on the terrace is just perfect. The room is clean, the bed is good and there's fresh mountain water coming out of the shower. Jahe, the hostel manager, is amazing and will help you with anything like renting scooters, booking snorkel tours or transport. We stayed 1 week in the hostel, but we could easily spend months here! Location is perfect: close to the harbour and main road with loads of places to have local or western food or coffee. We highly recommend staying at the Loyal Friend Hostel!!

A selection of options including pancakes and fruits is available for the à la carte breakfast. The family-friendly restaurant at the guest house specialises in American cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. We had a wonderful stay. The villa was super clean, breakfast was very good, the property looks beautiful and the staff was amazing. Asty & Fayra were the best hosts ever, so friendly and helpful! The stargazing tour was super interesting and we learned so much. It was very special to look at the moon and the stars, thanks again Fayra (sorry if misspelled..) Highly reccomend this place to anyone looking to stay on Karimunjawa.

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace, Rumah Desa Homestay is set in Prambanan. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

The guest house is fitted with a cable flat-screen TV. Towels and bed linen are featured in the guest house.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the guest house. We had a fantastic time at the homestay. Wibowo and his wife go out of their way to look after you. The place is immaculately clean and the breakfast is yummy. We stayed here for 2 nights so we could get to Prambanan Temple early which was totally worth it - we were there by ourselves and it wasn’t too hot.

This guest house offers free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Tugu Monument is 42 km away and Malioboro Mall is 42 km from the guest house. The hostel ia very close to the temple entrance, the reception guy is very nice and can provide info, facilities are great too (wifi, lockers, curtains for the beds, cleanliness, air con). Also, free cold water and coffee in the morning. It's a pity very little people come to spend a night in Borobudur. It's a very cute town and you can have nice walks in the rice fields just behind the temple or going towards the Chicken Church.
