Rumah Boedi… Life Serenity is calling!

Rumah Boedi Borobudur feels like staying in an ancient royal residence—calm, beautiful, and full of positive energy. The peaceful atmosphere brings deep relaxation for both mind and heart, making it the perfect escape from city life. It truly feels like coming home to a tranquil village. The owner is incredibly kind and open to meaningful conversations, which makes the stay even more special. A perfect place for healing and recharging your soul.

Where should I begin? This place is the epitome of serene energy and beauty. From the very entrance it radiates an incredible harmony, and as soon as you step inside you are greeted by the stunning garden with its charming seating area. We were looked after beyond expectations—they prepared dinner for us very late despite our delayed arrival, and in the morning we enjoyed a wonderful traditional breakfast (with Western options available too, for those who prefer). We had the best Jasmine tea, and they even gifted us a packet to take home. They allowed us a late check-out and overall made us feel completely at home.
Thank you for everything—for the hospitality, the care, and the feelings you gave us 💛

This is my first time traveling to Borobudur, so I guess why not stay at an antique & boutique, such as Rumah Boedi. At first, I saw the boutique, it was so awesome, it's amaizing. We stayed at Keputran, and every window awesomely have a view itself. In front of the bed has view, next to the bed has a view, and even the bathroom has a view! Not only the aesthetique, but the staff in here is so nice! I feel like all of them has chit chat with me, especially the receptionist staff is so wholesome and kind. She told me what to explore in Borobudur, about the activity in this hotel, or activity in outside of the hotel. She even recommend what, where, and why I should go somewhere, REALLY RECOMMEND 👍👍

Such a homey and comfy place to stay in the Borobudur area!
The vibe was chill and peaceful.
Loved the breakfast, and the service was really friendly.
Definitely coming back for sure!

Truly a place to refresh the body and mind. Recommended to stay for a long period of time. The location is in the center of all tourist attractions around Jogjakarta and Central Java. You will truly feel the calming and serene local Javanese life with the assistance of attentive owner.

Attended a retreat with the Orassy Health Team and stayed at this beautiful retreat from 17-21 January 2025 and it completely exceeded my expectations. Upon arrival, I found myself crying due to the beauty and the energy of the venue and it's beautiful grounds/gardens and views 😍 The staff were very friendly and lovely. The owner is a great guy with so much knowledge. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. I also had a 1hr massage onsite and again an amazing experience. 10/10 from me! Definitely recommend this venue to everyone ❤️ Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality and making it special for me ❤️

It is a wonderful place of tranquility. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are wonderful for the price.
But the best part are the vast gardens with hidden areas perfect for meditation and reconnecting with nature. The peace and serenity of this place are unparalleled.

Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong and a gentle stream trickling just outside your window. That's exactly what I experienced during my stay at Rumah Boedi, a charming little paradise nestled in a peaceful village.
This homestay is a true haven for nature lovers. The grounds are expansive and beautifully landscaped, with lush trees providing ample shade and a vibrant array of flowers adding pops of color. It felt like stepping into a secret garden, a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying for two nights at Rumah Boedi Borobudur Private Residence, and we were delighted with our experience. The property’s location is exceptionally convenient, being very close to the Borobudur complex, making it easy to visit this incredible historical site. Nestled in the middle of a residential area, the road leading to the property is quite narrow, but there is ample parking space for about 5 to 7 cars.
The design of the property is a beautiful blend of ancient Java and Bali, creating a serene and culturally rich ambiance. We were warmly welcomed by Bu Tami, Pak Janto, and the rest of the crew, whose friendliness and hospitality made us feel right at home.
This place is perfect for those who appreciate a tropical ambiance. The property is surrounded by lush trees and vibrant flowers, and there is a large green field where our daughter loved to run around and enjoy some earthing sessions. The natural setting does attract some mosquitoes, but the property provides mosquito repellent lotion, which was very thoughtful and effective.
The room amenities were standard but comfortable, meeting all our basic needs. Additionally, the property offers various services such as massages, private tours, and yoga sessions for an extra charge, enhancing the overall experience.

Despite its non-functioning website and wrong phone numbers everywhere (the one you want is +62 821-3476-2834) this place does exist and is operating.
A mixed experience. The pros are that it’s an attractive and peaceful place with plenty of garden in which to sit and read; the staff are lovely; and the Indonesian food was excellent. The solicitous owner is keen to make your time enjoyable. He also immediately understood my veganism and ensured a steady stream of increasingly esoteric and mostly delicious vegan Indonesian dishes from the kitchen for me, which I appreciated.
The cons include that it’s a little dilapidated, the room could done with redecoration and rewiring, and are musty upholstery and soft furnishing that don’t really work in gardens and pavilions in a hot, humid climate. Food and drinks, though excellent, are overpriced. The owner’s enthusiasm for looking after you is a little overwhelming and misjudged. And we were unimpressed by his charging us, for a third night, double what we’d paid online for the first two nights, having said he’d give us a ‘fair price’ for that extra night — a figure that was reduced only marginally when I raised an eyebrow, making the whole stay frankly overpriced for what it was.
Lonely Planet gives this place a star and writes of a ‘magnificent garden’ and a ‘magical retreat and spa’. If those were once true they aren’t now, and it’s far from Lonely Planet ‘star’ quality.
