We had an amazing time at this lovely resort! Upon arrival we were made aware that building works were going on near our villa, so we were given the option to upgrade to the next category or receive 30% off. We preferred our villa, so we opted for the latter. To compensate us for a any noise or other disturbance, we also received a complimentary one-hour massage as well as a majestic sunrise breakfast. As we had an early check out, before the regular breakfast service started, t was the perfect his was the perfect solution for us. The majestic sunrise breakfast meant we could enjoy a mini breakfast buffet, all to ourselves whilst watching the sunrise over Borobodur and we were also able to choose a la carte items as well, which were cooked for us especially. This was SO MUCH BETTER than a breakfast box to go! In fact, it was a wonderful last experience before heading to the airport. We loved everything about this resort. The villa was classic Indonesian style, huge and well laid out and impeccably clean. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were consistent in this approach. We were really made to feel like valued guests at all times. By the way, if anyone is worried about staying while building works are going on, don't be. We hardly noticed any noise and did not feel it intruded on our stay particularly. The food, especially at breakfast was excellent, better than the Oberoi in Lombok, where we stayed earlier on in our trip! I am gluten-free and the staff at Plataran made me the most delicious fluffy gluten-free pancakes with fruit compote. The breakfast consisted of a buffet, in addition to a la carte items which you could order. It even included a chocolate fountain, which our 10--year-old couldn't get enough of. The coffee (cappuccino) was the best we had in 3 weeks travelling through Indonesia and Singapore! Our stay was excellent in every way, the only little thing that could have been improved is the outdoor area of our villa, which could have been made to look more inviting, but it was one of the older villas and will probably be replaced in the near future. Overall, we rate everything very highly about this resort, the location, the villas and facilities, the food and drink and most of all the staff, who were all very kind and helpful. We thoroughly recommend staying here if you're visiting Borobudur.

Had a very pleasant stay at Plataran Borobudur. We're traveling as a family of 3 (2 adults with a 4 year old). The villa is beautiful, clean, well maintained and fully equipped. Our favorite feature was the water dispenser, it's very convenient to have one in the villa! What stood out the most is their service, everyone there were very friendly, sincere and they will go an extra mile for the guest. We had quite many chat with them and glad to know that the resort employed 80% of local residents. All of our communication and requests were done via whatsapp, so everything is literally within our fingertips, very convenient for us introverts 😊 special shoutout to our driver who drove us back and forth to Borobudur Temple and then straight to Enam Langit then back to the Villa, skipping his lunch and all. Food wise, we've tried all of their restaurants (Patio, Menoreh, Stupa and Enam Langit) and all were consistently good! It's a deal breaker for us since we have limited options of restaurant in that area so it's really a relief to know that we can rely on their food. For the little ones, they have multiple facilities and activities sorted; from children carnaval (traditional rides like merry go round, flying balloon, etc), indoor and outdoor playground, bird aviary, deers, rabbits, peacoks, tortoise and goats. My 4 year old cried when it's time for us to leave, that can only means she truly enjoyed her stayed here a lot. The only downside is that they have undergoing renovation in the resort area so some noises can be heard around 7am onwards (not really bothering us since we're all up by then). All in all, we're very pleased with Plataran Borobudur, it exceeded our expectation. We'll return here for sure!

I wish I could give this place 5 stars because the room, service, butler, and food was amazing. The view is a straighshot to Candi Borobudur although a bit small, but would say as advertised. We even got upgraded to a Residence villa so our group could be nearer to each other. Pak Bimo as our butler was very helpful and very friendly, also very competent. Can't stress enough the food. It was really good and everyone in my family enjoyed it. Very suited to our Indonesia tastes. If it weren't for 2 quite major drawbacks, I would give Plataran Resort a perfect review. The first being the noise from all around our villa. There are multiple prayer loudspeakers going on at once every 2 or so hours from the morning to night, there are events with loudspeakers from nearby locals that start in the morning and at night (music, dangdut, karaoke), and then there is an event going on in the hotel beside ours. For a place advertised as serene and peaceful we could hardly get any. And second the smell of smoke from burning trash around the resort. You'll smell it multiple times a day, but it's at it worst during early morning and around 6pm. It gets bad enough that I can't stay outside for long. Using the pool also becomes uncomfortable when it smells like smoke outdoors. And because the balcony door has gaps, I can still smell hints of it in the room (duplex villa). These maybe factors out of the control of the resort itself (or is it?), but it would be disingenuous not to acknowledge it since it has a big effect on guests' stay in the resort.

Our 2nd Plataran hotel, after Bromo.|I really like this "boutique-hotel" style located just at the right place, with a very elegant architecture and interior decoration, in a beautiful natural outdoor setting. When you arrive, it really has this effect: Wow!|We took one of the "simplest" rooms, a deluxe premier room with 2 twin beds, but even this one was spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated and with everything you need. Of course, this comes with : a friendly, smiling and attentive...
