The staff is very very friendly and helpful, by the moment you step in you will feel at home. The place is quiet and surrounded by nature. The location is perfect, few minutes away from the main road. The whole staying has been perfect, I felt very much welcomed.

Hot and cold shower facilities.

It was a beautiful hideaway in the middle of a fantastic city. The host Hernie was fabulous. The place was quiet and idyllic, which is why I don’t want to advertise it. A perfect place to explore “jogah.”

Beautiful villa nestled in a small street of Yogya, it’s the perfect base to explore the city and feel the energy of its community. Clean and comfy. Wifi works perfectly and the people working here are just amazing. I met Felicia and she was super helpful with all my requests.

In the Villa was plenty of delicious food from the cooking classes. The host was very hospitable and sweet. One evening, we even went out together, and she introduced me to Javanese cuisine. She packed me snacks for my journey. The accommodation was surrounded by greenery and well located. All in all nice!

I had a wonderful stay at Villa Sambal. The room has a very comfortable bed and is equipped with a very nice bathroom. The whole villa is in a nice area with lots of restaurants and places to see. At the same time it is very quiet. The highlight is Herni, the owner. She is a very nice person who will help you with all your plans. She also runs cooking classes which are very special. The food was amazing.

I like Villa Sambal. I didn’t want to go home. I will come again!

Everything was awesome. I will come back )

I like that the owner of the house is very kind and also offer incursions. If you dont know what tondo in yogyakarta, this point will help you a lot. Also she have cuisine lessons. I do not have time to take one lessons but the next time i will try, it is necessary ).

Ibu Herni, the place owner, is a very nice lady that since the beginning she let you feel home, always treating with little bit of food and trying to make you comfortable. The room was nice and clean. Breakfast is not included but you can use the kitchen and prepare a coffee in the morning. I will come back. Terima kasih Ibu Herni

The house was located in corner of a small alley. We can reach it by following the giant chili on the wall. How interesting! As a solo traveler, my room was enough for me. It was cute and warm. I was extremely into the house’s furniture and decoration. The host, Ms.Herni and her helper were friendly and helpful. She also holds cooking class daily so the guests can try various dishes there. I love the fish simbal very much. There was a kitchen and guests are allowed to use freely. Coffee, tea and sugar is already there. You can cook if you want. Feel like home. The location was just 15 minutes walking to Alun-Alun and 5 minutes to Prawirotaman street. I may choose this if I come back here.

The landlady Herni is a wonderful person This house is filled with love The rooms are big, extra shower and toilet. Air conditioning works fine. A kitchen to prepare your own breakfast, nice warang restaurants near bye. Also laundry was done within 24 h for about 0,60€ per kg I would have loved to stay longer It felt like leaving home

bu Herni and all staff were truly friendly and kind. I immediately felt so comfortable and welcome. The villa is beautiful, clean and well-maintained, located in a neighborhood brimming with delicious food and interesting people.

Pebbled floor in shower (hard to stand on). Bed against wall so have to climb over one another, to get out..

Located away from a busy road, plenty of bars/restaurants within easy walking distance. Spacious room with seating area. Free Wi-Fi, tea/coffee/water and shared use of kitchen facilities.

The water for shower in the big room downstairs (where we stayed for two days) took sometime to get hot. It is not a big problem but it would be better if it is improved.

Big room, clean and very homely. The owner bu Herni is very friendly and generous. She fed us well for lunch and dinner without us having to pay extra a single Rupiah!

It's worth being aware that the rooms are not very sound proof and the call to prayer from the nearby mosque is very loud. For me this was fine, but if you are a light sleeper, this might not be the best place for you.

It's easy to feel very at home here. Herni is a lovely and generous host. The garden is beautiful and calm and there are nice places to sit outside the room. Fresh pomelo from the tree in the garden was an extra treat. The neighourhood was also very pleasant with lots of nice cafes, restaurants and excellent ice cream close by. It was also lovely to be able to borrow a bicycle!

Villa Sambal was the most charming stay during our 2-week trip through Indonesia. Herni is a lovely host who shared fruits from her garden with us over a cup of tea. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, though the guesthouse also has a kitchen with a fridge, microwave, water cooker and such. The bed is comfortable and the mosquito net excellent. Many thanks to the host for this wonderful experience.

Loved every bit.

The host Herni was awesome, made some genuine connections with her and her friends. She went out of her way to help me during my stay in many ways. Her cooking class was also a lot of fun. The room I booked was without AC but the architecture of the house is designed in a way that natural airflow cools all the spaces. Got way more than I expected, especially for the price.

Home away from home. Pieter and Herni are lovely hosts who ensure that you have a comfortable stay. My upstairs room was a great size, it felt like a mini apartment. No aircon, but a big fan and being able to open the windows was great. Free coffee, tea and water, great common areas to meet with other people. I would have stayed longer, but unfortunately it was booked out. Definitely will be back when in Yogya.

One of the best places I have ever stayed in. Herni and Peter are lovely people, super friendly and helpful. They will make you feel like you are at home, in a nice traditional house and in a perfect location. You will get a full package. There are bicycles you can use during your stay. If you need a Scooter, you can rent it there. If you need anything else, like someone to pick up your laundry or you want to have a massage in your room, just need to ask Herni and she will arrange it. Also before you go somewhere and spend to much money for stuff, like Batik :), you better talk to her for advice first ;). And there is one more thing. Herni's cooking class is definitely a must for everyone, both vegetarien and meat lover, who wants to learn about local cuisine and have a good time and a nice meal. Thanks to Herni and Peter for a great time in Yogya. Absolutely recommended!
