Amata Borobudur Resort

My third time here. The service is excellent. Foods are great, with lots of options to choose from, and the portion is super generous. FANTASTIC breakfast! Feels like a queen on a mini banquet. The villa looks very lovely, got a feel of staying in Central Java's traditional house. It is also very comfortable inside, with modern amenities. The AC is cold, helps to cool down if there is any heatwave. Love the shower with the plants and stone wall too. Swimming pool is clean and has a nice size. There are activities to choose from, arranged by the resort. They can also arrange transport to the city center or airport. Staffs are super helpful and knowledgeable. All and all good value for money. Great place to unwind. Resort is beautifully designed.

Would like to stay longer but no rooms available.

Lovely boutique type resort with all modern amenities. Loved the cottage I was in. Big and spacious. This was the at the end of the property. Away from the pool. Lovely to sit on the veranda and read. There is an homely atmosphere everywhere. Staff are very helpful. Food was excellent for me. I like Indonesian / Javanese food so was quite happy to have what was on the menu. They even went out of the way to prepare a local dish specially for me called "nasi liwet".

The lights are dim in the rooms. Can add one or two bright lights that can be switched off when not needed.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Upon arrival and check in we got comprehensive information about the breakfast, swimming pool and motor rentals (exactly what we wanted), a wet towel to cool off and a welcome drink. It's called ice secang and the receptionist explained the ingredients and color behaviour of it when adding lemon for example. Very interesting to us. In the bungalow there was a beautiful bathrobe, sugar ginger (for a hot drink) and some local and internationally known fruits waiting for us. Our wooden cabin was a lovely and roomy place with a beautiful shower space (2 big real plants inside). Food and drinks on premises are great and very reasonably priced. Towels and showers for the pool are present and the pool is shadowed too. Great for cooling down and staying out of the sun. The day we arrived we went to the Mendut temple which is at walking distance (7 minutes). With the scooter it's also 9 minutes to the Borobudur Temple.

Beautiful resort, the villa’s are very good, lot of space, very nice bathroom, bed is very comfortable. Staff is so friendly, they help you with everything. We drove with Toni, our driver to anywhere we wanted. There were not much guests, it was a little bit too quiet but it was the season they told us. You have to fill in your breakfast for the following day. Enough choice and you can order as much as you want. Some days we got an complimentary dish for breakfast to try or cake in the afternoon.

The sound of all the mosques in the neighbourhood, many times a day. Street just outside the resort is very busy, you cannot make a walk outside the resort but that is almost everywhere on Java. Can’t recommend renting a bike, too busy on the roads.

the decor was awesome. the vegetation around was great. there was a stream of water flowing just outside our balcony. the room was decently sized. it is a nice quaint boutique property.

No one, absolutely no one seemed to understand even basic english. while we do understand that locals may not know english but there has to be some common way to communicate, right? i assume the management should think about it. While the food was good but they were not able to do anything about allergens (they just smiled and kept saying yes to our instructions and never understood an iota of what we told them). the food choices were also very very limited.

Great designers family bungalow, lovely pool and reasonable restaurant choices at any time. Breakfast buffet especially good here. Bike hire and taxi arranging super easy.

I hadn’t realised it was so close to the main road and our secluded family bungalow was therefore essentially one wall away from the traffic….there may be one’s further inside the complex but they looked smaller.

The staff is very nice and always ready to help with my requests. The restaurant also serves nice food with good value. Location is quite close to the temples in the area. It's a perfect choice if one wants to visit Borobudur and prambanan.

AC in the room is a little hard to figure out. Breakfast can be a little better in its choices.

My travel plans were delayed by several hours and I ended up arriving at Amata Borobudur at 1am, I gave them advanced notice and even with my insane schedule the security guard and receptionists were waiting for my arrival which I greatly appreciated after the long drive. The resort also had really nice rooms and food including one of the nicest breakfasts I've ever had in any hotel, who knew I'd end up loving chicken sausage!

The garden was green, with many trees and blooming flowers. We were there during rainy season so the leaves were lush and green. I found small lizards running along the path, and one night I noticed a big toad near the restaurant. Very lovely.

The roof leaked during storm. Some insects entered the bedroom, but it was after heavy rain, so it was part of nature. The surrounding landscape was forest-like so small animals are a cutely annoying addition.

Location is great in a quiet area but not too far from Borobudur temple. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was artistically furnished and comfortable. Shower was powerful and the hot water was great. Breakfast was adequate with 1 choice of main course and other choices of cakes, fruit, coffee, tea. The hotel arranged a sunrise watch at Punthuk Setumbu at a reasonable transport cost of around US 10 + entrance tickets.

The shower floor was a bit slippery. Maybe a rubber mat on the shower floor might help.
