Farmstay Manangel

This was definitely the highlight of my time in Indonesia. The incredible warmth and kindness from the hosts Uyung, Ari, Salmon, Haris, Fauzi and everyone else here makes one feel like at home. It is impossible not to fall in love with the community here, and despite staying here only for two nights, I felt like we immediately became friends. They taught me so much about local Sundanese culture, we cooked meals together with fresh local vegetables and fruits while singing and dancing in the kitchen, spent the evenings playing guitar and singing, as well as having heart-warming and profound conversations. They kindly took us on a jungle walk around the area, having breakfast with stunning views, as well as picking some wild tea leaves and making tea together. Every gesture was always filled with thoughtfulness. The rooms were also gorgeous and you can feel that every corner of this place was built with love and care. The animals and nature make the heart melt and soul heal. It was an unforgettable and inspiring experience that shall be treasured for a lifetime. Thank you so much! 🧡🌻

Had a great getaway from the city to reconnect with nature and enjoy some fresh air. The host was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and definitely made you eat more! Thank you for the wonderful adventure!

We stayed here for 4 days and it was amazing! Everyone is soo friendly and helpful, you can ask for recommendations where to go and the owner can even be your private guide. We loved every moment of our stay there. It’s located right in nature and the place is just beautiful. You can get there in 20 minutes from town (by scooter) and the view and vibe is just stunning. I can really recommend it to everybody that loves staying in nature and having a great vibe all around!
Much Love to everyone at Farmstay from Leon, Piet and Caroline ❤️

We stayed at the farmstay for 3 nights and had the time of our lives. It feels good to be able to escape from the busy cities and relax at the farmstay and surrounding nature. Ari, Uyung, their friends and family truly make you feel at home, they’re great cooks, Bani is a great singer and they make sure that you’ll have a great time.
Location: the farmstay is located about 20-30 minutes from Cianjur by car. We arrived late in the evening and the guys arranged for one of their friends to pick is up. You’ll sleep in one of the beautiful, sturdy and clean cabins that they’ve build on a cozy little farm with lots of plants, ducks (and ducklings), fish and their friendly dog Tamoi (with her puppies).
Activities: in our short time we went on lots of adventures. Ari and Tamoi took us on a short hike through the neighboring village with farms and rice fields. Uyung took us on a hike through the surrounding nature (even though it was raining). We went to a coffee farm where we were able to enjoy some amazing coffee, got a short guided tour of the plantage and had a lunch with an amazing view of the city. We went to a traditional food market in Cianjur. When we wanted to have a rest we were able to retreat, read, enjoy the nature or have a chat with the guys.
Food: the guys made sure we never got hungry. They have some great cooking skills and we were able to taste all different kinds of foods, fruits and vegetables.

This is the place to be! Absolutely wonderful human beings here, if you want an authentic farmstay experience this is your spot. You’ll be immersed in the rural village life here in West Java, staying in the valley enjoying delicious fresh fruit and hearty traditional meals. If you’re looking for an experience that’s different away from the tourism and resorts and what not, look no further…

There's no words to describe my stay in Farmstay Manangel. This little farmstay is run by three amazing human beings along the best Ibu. It was inspiring sharing time with this little big team, witnessing the good impact on their community and being able to learn from sundanese culture, farm and jungle knowledge. The meals are delicious and of course km0. The room has enormous bed with mosquito net and a cozy rest area.
Thank you for these funny days and music lessons! I'm really thankful for meeting you and looking forward to meet you again! I wish all you the best!

I had a delightful time at Ari and Uyung's farm, enjoying their hospitality and the company of the local villagers. The local cuisine was a true delight, adding to the overall charm of the experience. The warmth of the community and the flavors of the local food made this visit truly special. Thank you, Ari and Uyung, for a wonderful and authentic experience!

Had a lovely experience at the Farmstay Manangel. 3 hard working sweet friends manage this Farmstay and you can tell they do it with love. Don’t expect luxury but in my opinion that was part of the Indonesian experience. Good Indo food for a very affordable price and it’s so nice waking up in a lush green forest.

I had a wonderful stay at Farmstay Manangel. Nestled in the lush nature, in a lovely village amongst the rice paddy fields, the jungle, swimming pools and water falls, it is a wonderful spot. What makes it even more special is the warmth and kindness of the hosts who welcome you as family. I highly recommend!

Farmstay Manangel was such an incredible time with Hari, Uyung and Ari. We shared many delicious Indonesia meals, shared language, culture and stories. Highly recommend! Can't wait to see them all again sooner than later.

Farmstay Manangel gives me different experiences for stay. If you like peaceful, nature, local tradition, and simplicity, I would recommend you to stay here. The room is simple and traditional, It's only IDR 200-250k per-night. The owner was very welcome with the guest. It feel like I am part of family in here. They feed me local food and eat together with other guests. They also offer me for village walking tour, farming some tropical fruits and I paid 80k for this package. The local was very friendly. I might back to this place someday, really good for heal and avoid crowded.

Why wouldn't I give a 5?!
So much fun, in a nice friendly, cheerful atmosphere!
We spent 2 nights there, climbing the killer steep last stretch on our bikes after a hot day ride.
Ari and Uyung are great hosts, fun, welcoming and joyful.
The premises are quite countryside style which there is no surprise from the name.
We slept in a large tent below an additional roof to protect from the strong sunshine. For those who know camping, one can't stay in a tent during a hot day. At night, the fresh air was delightful, natural AC, so much more enjoyable!
We had 2 great dinners with great food.
We also had a nice, quiet hike around in the steep hills. Was quite hot, so we enjoyed arriving at a pool to refresh and have lunch. Lots of nature discoveries on the way.
Congrats, guys, and thank you for the good time!

One of my best experiences in Indonesia. I was allowed to spend two weeks on the farmstay with the most wonderful, funny and admirable people.
Its a unusual place to stay… in a rather rural area, not very touristy (that makes it even more special). You learn a lot about their way of life, the language and of course the food. Wonderful dishes are cooked on the farmstay and sometimes served traditionally on a palm leaf. You sit together in the cozy hut and make music, sing or play games. The cultural exchange is guaranteed here because the guys put in an incredible amount of effort to enable every guest to have a wonderful and great experience. And all this on a small farm on a hill in Cianjur.
