Borobudur Luxury Glamping

The views are great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a good spot for people who enjoy nature, though getting there isn’t easy. There are bugs and frogs around, especially at night, and you should bring your own towels. The AC gets very cold, but the blanket is small and thin, so I’d recommend wearing socks. Inside, there are two double beds as you enter and a single bed behind the wall. The windows have curtains, and there’s a table and shelving for belongings and luggage. The bathroom was nice, with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo provided. You can order food from the staff. The fried rice was really good, but late at night they may not have anything available, so there are restaurants nearby. Facilities include a public kitchen with seating and a rice field view, a library, a good parking area, and an outdoor space beside the bathroom where you can relax or work. I’d definitely recommend it for family holidays or for foreigners, since it’s near Borobudur temple.

The view is great, and the guards are friendly, but the service was not. We booked during peak season, then arrived to be told the glamping site was full. They cancelled our reservation without checking with us. After arguing with customer care, we managed to get into a room, but it was dirty, with sticky, unclean floors and sheets. There were five of us, yet they provided only two pillows and one blanket. A bad experience, and not what I expected from a place using “luxury” in its name.

Our family of five, with one teenager and two younger kids, had enough space in the tent. There’s no TV, but you can go for activities like riding an ATV along the river, or just relax at the private bale bengong behind the tent and enjoy the amazing scenery. The host and staff were superb, especially the very helpful Mba Tika. Great food is just around the corner. One night wasn’t enough.

A lovely place for a nature-filled retreat, with comfortable accommodation. It left me feeling refreshed and inspired. Highly recommended if you’re looking to unwind.
