Gopalan Borobudur — Hotel in Java

Me and my wife stayed at this family driven hotel for two nights to watch the sunrise at Borobudur. This hotel is really lovely, since rooms are actually small bungalows with own bathrooms. The rooms are really cosy set up: comfortable beds and pillows, great working WiFi, tv and air conditioning. A pool was available too. Not to forget, the whole hotel was clean - I am really picky on that fact. From the open space restaurant, which is also used as a reception, we had great view on the rice fields, Borobudur and a volcano. The best part of all was the staff. They are always there if you have any questions or need help. In our case they brought us to Borobudur early in the morning around 4 a.m. and picked us up again when we called them. Also when we booked our train ticket from Yogyakarta to Surabaya, the staff drove us to the nearby mini market to pay for the tickets. Also on the check out day, we had to leave early in the morning to catch our train, the staff would prepare breakfast packages to go for us - very tasty, we had both: sandwiches and western breakfast. Talking about food: when you stay there, you won’t need to go another restaurant or warung, cause the quality of the food provided at the hotel’s restaurant is really good. In short: if you plan to watch the sunrise at Borobudur, I can highly recommend this hotel. The location of the hotel is very good, the hotel itself is great and the staff is outstandingly nice...

I made a booking to this hotel yesterday night around 11pm where i was very tired in that time. I booked 3 rooms for 1 night with cost almost 2 millions.||I went with my extra 1 adult where i plan to have utilized a sofa provided in a big room I booked. In fact, the unfriendly hotel staff insisted me to pay extra for 75,000. And this unfriendly hotel staff also make trouble by saying my less 12 years old also have to pay the same cost 75,000. ||I offered for another 6 adults not to have breakfast but this unfriendly hotel staff did not respond. Fortunately, the owner of the hotel heard out confrontation voices and he approved my offering as win-win solution.||This uneducated and unfriendly hotel staff did not know how to personaly approach to the visitor and has no good attitude to solve the problem raised on site. ||Please be aware with your colleague's number if you stay on this hotel !!! , otherwise you'll be in a conflict with this uneducated and unfriendly hotel staff. You can see the picture of this unfriendly hotel staff on this attachment, be aware with this uneducated girl !||I will never stay on this hotel again ! It's very...

The view from the dining area/receptionist is amazing. Next to the hotel is vast area of padi field, highest stupa of borobudur is visible from here and right across the street is a mountain. Beautiful view. 15 min walk to Borobudur entrance. ||||Food was amazing, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and they were very good. They prepare excellent Indonesian food, not so much for western food. They prepare western food in Indonesian way, with too much mayonnaise and sambal sauce.||||Room was basic. We had 2 rooms, family room and mountain view room. The mountain view room looks directly to the padi field. Good to chill while having beer or tea. Family room had 2 queen beds and can accommodate 4. But there's no window, so it's pretty dark even in the day time. Bathroom is very basic, no cubicle to shower so toilet bowl and the floor get wet. ||||Staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped us get tickets to Borobudur lantern festival. Hotel was more than half occupied when we were there, during meal time the 2 ladies could barely catch up to serve everybody. Just stay patience and enjoy the view, they will get to...
