The hotel is brilliantly located ten minutes walk from Borabadur temple grounds and in the middle of the town - easy walk to plenty of food options, local market and just a stroll around the back streets. The staff are fantastic and helpful (we had a 4:30am departure and they packed us a great breakfast). It’s a 3 star hotel and exactly what you’d expect. People note the Mosque nearby and the early morning call to prayer but if you want to stay in the town that is inevitable. Only criticism would be it’s time to invest in new towel sets (perfectly clean but old)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Like other places in Indonesia, and most of Asia, the staff were exceedingly kind. The building is an open-style throwback to the Dutch or brief English colonial era, with soaring ceilings (even in the guest suites), palm trees in the interior courtyard, etc. The few grumbles I have must absolutely be taken in the context of the fact that these people only a few months earlier opened after three years of having no tourists b/c of the pandemic. The ceiling fan in my bathroom was so loud I preferred having the extra humidity to the noise. But when I mentioned this to the staff the problem was fixed immediately. Also, poor drainage in the shower. There were a few other signs of wear and rear, but the room was clean, the air conditioning somewhat effective, and the place really nice. Extremely convenient to Candi Borobudur. The dining hall was nice. My deal included breakfasts, which were plenty. Some days they’d have a buffet, others you’d order the day before. Lunch and dinners were about 3 times the cost of the local “restaurants”—more like street stalls, really—but if you prefer not being interrupted by stray cats and minstrels, it’s worth the few extra dollars. Overall, 7/10.

Great stay - friendly staff, beautiful property with lovely pool and great location to visit Borobudur sunrise! Only comment is to have more privacy for changing in the outdoor gazebo before massages, and also more vegetarian options on the menu! Thanks

Location: a five minutes walk to Borobudur ticketing booth. 1.5hrs from airport. Check in: quick and straight forward. Two storey hotel. Walk up. Quiet and relaxing. Reminiscent of the old days when we use room key, a proper key to unlock door. No auto power switch off. European decor. Room with balcony. Pool view. High ceiling. Spacious. Two WC, one with shower. Wood furniture. Exceptionally high doors.Tiled floor. Bed, away from door. Room door facing court yard. Hotel layout gives guests a sense of true privacy, personal space. Love the privacy!

Great value for a perfect retreat in busy location
Hotel ideally located for walking to temples and especially viewing the Buddhist stupa at dawn. Spacious rooms, quiet, beautiful pool and excellent restaurant. Booking .com only had one night whereas management said there was two nights available so had to find alternative accommodation. Disappointing as would have liked to stay longer.

Lovely paradise
What a lovely piece of paradise! I loved staying at Saraswati hotel with exceptional level of service and personal attention. The hotel team really made me feel like home, and I will certainly come back again. The location is the best within a 5 minute walk to Borobudur Temple, rice fields and all the restaurants. The pool is divine! And I really enjoyed the traditional Javanese massage. Definitely will be coming back! Thank you, Saraswati team!

Pros Service was very gracious, kind and hospital. Location was next to Borobudur if you plan to visit Borobudur. Hotel restaurant served quality and tasty food. Cons Hotel is old and dated. Requires refurbishment. Nothing to do around the location except for Borobudur. Quite boring beyond a day stay.
