The WiFi network

What a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere this charming, small hotel has. This isn’t just due to its unique design and styling, but also thanks to the exceptionally professional, proactive, and helpful team. Where else would staff run after you with an umbrella as you head outside, “just in case it might rain”? The rooms are delightful and impeccably maintained: a comfortable bed, a quiet and efficient air conditioner, a well-equipped bathroom – everything was just right. On top of that, we only had to take three steps from our room to enjoy a refreshing dip in the lovely, cool swimming pool. In short, it was a truly exceptional stay. However, there was one major frustration: the lack of reliable Wi-Fi. As travelers, we constantly rely on access to information about destinations, tickets, reservations, and, of course, news from home. Although Wi-Fi was available, it was only accessible via a portal that required us to repeatedly log in with a username and password. Even if we simply set our phone down for a moment, we had to go through the login process again before continuing. This system was very inconvenient and frustrating. For us, this could even be a reason not to book here again, had we known about it in advance. I shared my feedback about this issue with the staff and also provided them with a written explanation, including a suggestion for a suitable technical solution. The team promised me they would address this problem and make improvements.

Shower hit and miss, hot water was a bonus!

Lovely traditional hotel, beautiful surroundings. The pool was fantastic, and the bar/breakfast staff very friendly and attentive, as were all the staff. Food menu was good, something for everyone. Loved the a la carte breakfasts. Nice balcony seating outside each room. Loved the location, only a few minutes walk to restaurants bars etc playing live music

Nothing to mention

We enjoyed our stay at Java Villas. Location is great (we prefer over Malioboro region), super just one block to Prawirotaman street. The hotel is beautiful and comfortable. We felt like it was almost private - super quiet and reserved. Breakfast was included, which was also great. We really recommend it.

Not, that we did not like. Only that i had to remind or ask them to clean our room a couple of times. Nit that bothering, but sometimes we expected we came back to our room clean.

It was close to my work-place. Walkable so it’s nice. Also close to our fav restos. The pool is big enough - good for exercise.

The continental breakfast is under expectations. A very strange "bread cooked with milk" should be totally recalled. Indonesian breakfast is OK.

AC hardly worked, upon complaining the staff was quick to change our room, but in the other room also the AC didn't cool the room.

Pool was good, clean room

The shower was a little temperamental.

Lovely hotel with absolutely super friendly staff. Very relaxing sat by the pool with a beer. Good value and tucked away down a nice quiet street off a main road.

The restaurant menu has limited options and availability and could be improved. We were advised that they run out of eggs and fruit when it was actually not busy. Would be great to stock up on popular items such as eggs but overall food was ok. The fan in our bathroom needs to be cleaned up as dirt keeps dropping every time we turn it on. it seems like it hasn't been cleaned up for years. It also looked like the lid of the fan could come off anytime soon. We would suggest regular clean up and maintenance to be conducted for health and safety reason.

Every area of this villa is beautiful and they greeted us with refreshing welcome drink and free coffees.Staff are friendly and always did the best to accommodate our need including ordering taxi, printing our train tickets, etc. We ordered floating breakfast for our daughter and she was over the moon when it was delivered, what a beautiful breakfast. Our room was cleaned every day. The hotel was very cozy with clean pool ,beautiful lobby area and mezzanine in traditional design. Security available 24 hours. Laundry and car rental was available just across the street and there is a market nearby. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we will definitely stay in this villa again .

Some people from the staff speak some English but don’t expect too much

Nice and cozy property, feels like it is more country side

The map the hotel provided of the area was not that great - really basic.

The pool area and breakfast area were nicely laid out in an open courtyard. You could choose your breakfast - Asian or Western. The staff were helpful. The hotel was a short walk to a parallel street which had a few restaurants. WIFI was good. You could get a reasonably priced and good massage. We took a cooking class which was just a few minutes walk from our hotel and a great experience.

Could have better selection of drinks at Breakfast. Keep towels by the pool for use rather than have to hunt for them. Showers were sometimes hot, sometimes not!!!

Quiet rooms and good swimming pool. Great location.

They allow people to smoke just in front of the rooms. The rooms are dark without any view. Some of the staff don't speak any English.

Good location in central Yogyakarta with a nice swimming pool in the courtyard. The interior design has a nice and authentic look and feel.

Very poor but expensive western breakfast. Dirty bathroom. Very bad wifi. Aircons are very noisy. This hotel is overpriced.

The plumbing needs sorting. The shower heads need changing and the water pressure needs sorting. Other than that its great. Many people noted the shower problems, yet the hotel seems to ignore this...please sort them out its detracting from being a really fantastic place!

Great hotel with old world charm. Lovely pool and surroundings. This hotel is full of charm.
