The location is very close to Borobudur temple, easy access, the rooms are neat, clean & well maintained, the breakfast menu is quite simple & delicious. We stayed in a family room on the 1st floor right in front of the swimming pool. It's just that you need to pay attention to soundproofing because if there are guests in the rooms above, especially if there are children running around, the sound can be quite disturbing for guests in the rooms below.

We stayed in Pondok Tingal to visit Borobudur: from Pondok Tingal it is only a few minutes' drive to the entrance of the temple complex (easily an hour from Yogyakarta). The impressive Borobudur did not disappoint.But the stay in Pondok Tingal itself was also one of the highlights of our holiday. This small-scale, authentic family hotel (it has been run by the same family for decades) was an oasis of peace for our family and my parents after the large, somewhat impersonal hotels in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. The cozy rooms were equipped with the basic facilities, including free Wi-Fi. From our 'pool view' room we had direct access to the lovely swimming pool. The food (Indonesian and western) was very good and affordable. The extensive, delicious breakfast in the garden surrounded by tropical trees and plants was truly unforgettable. All taken care of by the always friendly, helpful and professional staff. Highly recommended!
