The owner is great, really friendly and gives you recommendations about what to do. The room is nice and comfortable. There's also a kitchen where you can make yourself coffee, breakfast, ...

Super friendly and loved the laid back vibe

You'll hear the call prayers often, moreover in early morning time. But this things are very normal in a moslem country. The bed is noisy during our sleep movement. I can't imagine for the couple who have s*x, more noisy I believe. The lady who handled my check out was having a flat face, I gave the key without any word something or just because I am local, have no idea.But while treated the white person, she was giving the different service. I saw the difference. Totally alright for my experience in Indonesia, I fly back to the UK soonest. Overall was Fabolous. Thanks

Can't get enough to see this lovely small place, beautiful surroundings by the greeneries and local life. Plants decorations are best. You'll feel like in your own home. Tiny gazebo was great idea to chill and relax after your full day trip. Hammock at the front was the cutest. You'll not find this anywhere else. The staff were great by explaining anything at this hostel. Coffee amenities are free, great idea for those who love to have a coffee in the morning time. Was great service in a budget hostel. Cool place!

Had a little problem with the bathroom but it was rapidly fixed by Ardi, who had warned me that the room needed some maintenance as I was there in the low season.

Ardi was the best! Very helpful and kind member of the staff. Very comfortable common areas, friendly environment, comfortable room and location was super great. Remind yourself that this is a hostel and not a 5 stars hotel, therefore my review is based on it being a comfy HOSTEL :)

This cozy spot, tucked away on a small street surrounded by great restaurants and bars, is an absolute gem. The host is incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The room was spotlessly clean, and the atmosphere made it easy to meet new people and enjoy a social experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming and vibrant place to stay!

Good place, better manager. We were there for 3 days, the place is charming and super quiet. Young, relaxed people. Ardi the manager has a 10.

Nice hostel with great comon space and well located. Ardi the host is super friendly and helpful! Will definitely come back here the next time in Jogja

The room was nice and comfy, and the guy working the hostel was super nice and chatty. I know it's a hostel, but I just wish that, if you can't throw anything down the toilet, not even paper, someone would come and empty the trashbins in the room and bathroom, because we spent thee nights there and on day 2 the smell was already very strong, taking into account that it's summer. By the last day the smell was so strong that it became unbearable, and we tried to ventilate by leaving the window open all day, by turning the AC on upon our return... nothing seemed to work. Also, charging 2K for the water was a bit too much, although I understand where it's coming from. The room would need some storage space too!

Absolutely brilliant place - super cosy, loads of common spaces to relax, read a book or meet people :) the room was simple, clean and great and AC works well! The host Ardi is an absolute gem and will help you out with anything, be it some problems or just recommendations for Yogyakarta.

The bed was not our favorite.

You feel like part of a family here, everything goes along just naturally. The hostel is very pretty with nice places to hang out with others. The area around is great for eating. It is super clean.

Hostel is well located, walking distance from restaurants and shops, clean room, great staff.

This place was such a treat! Really relaxed with hammocks and trees and plants. Plenty of fun quotes around and a great host with a lot of knowledge. I’ve spend some nights in a room with AC and bathroom and some in a room with a fan and shared bathroom. Both were perfectly fine options. It’s just away from the busy street, so besides the mosque, it’s a very quiet place. Around the corner there are plenty bars and restaurants to cater to tourist. More local options are also just around the other corner. Definitely recommend staying here.

Ardi "Bacardi" is the best host ever! The Place Is beautiful and confortable! You have everything you need here! Best position for anything you want to do.

The cleanless in the common shower For more privacy choose a room with bathroom.

The location is great, close to many bar amd restaurants. The host was friendly, he made us feel welcomed. :) The hostel is cozy, has some chill areas with hammocks.

A lovely hostel! Great chill out area with hammocks and friendly staff.

You are next door to a mosque so will therefore get that 4:30am wake up call. I can always go back to sleep but if you cannot!!! I also had earplugs.

Great vibe, places to hang out, hammocks, cushions, super friendly and helpful staff. Room had everything I needed. Comfortable

Nothing. Just wished to stay longer!

Recently had the pleasure to stay at Happy Buddha, it was a perfect experience from the moment we get welcomed from Ardi to the end. The place itself feels like home away from home, the vibes is chill, with lot of beautiful paintings and greenery which create a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel is also in a back street so there is no disturbing noise from Main Street. It was conveniently located very near to Prawirotaman street where there is heaps of good food and cafe and close enough to any tourist spot making it easy to explore vibrant culture of Jogja. But the true Highlight of your stay will be Ardi and Boim the hosts! Always happy to help you with anything you need. They give us recommendation for nearby local restaurants, things to do and also helps us to organise the days exploring the nearby temple. It was a real pleasure to have conversation and sharing moment with them. Staying at happy Buddha was the highlight of our trip to Java so I recommend 1000000% to anyone, stop looking further book here 😉

Stuff is warm. Room and bathroom was cool too.

One minor downside was the occasional loud call to prayer from the mosque, but that’s common everywhere in the area. 🕌

We were super satisfied with our stay at this accommodation—maybe it’s the best hostel I’ve ever been to. 🏨💚 The place is lovingly decorated, with beautiful plants everywhere and a great overall layout. 🌿 The rooms are small and simple but very nice. 🛏️ The location is perfect—right next to cozy cafes and restaurants, and you can walk everywhere. ☕🍽️ The staff gives excellent tips and doesn’t push expensive tours on you. 🗺️ They also rent out high-quality scooters. 🛵 We felt super comfortable here. Thank you so much for everything! 🙏😊
