This property has not been maintained. The hot water never worked, had to change rooms. Even after that the hot water was intermittent. a lot of flies in the dinning area. The only good thing was the staff. It was way too over priced for the property. Expedia should not promote this property. Never send your customers to this property

Lovely property
This property was wonderful! Clean and lovely rooms and a gorgeous pool. Staff was BEYOND helpful and that made a few issues we had (not hotel related, ATM related) very easy to deal with. We unfortunately could only stay one night, and upon arrival that was something we immediately regretted. We hope to get back to see more of this area and will definitely return to this hotel.

An oasis of peace & tranquility with great service
The Shankar is about a 60-80 min ride from Yogyakarta Aduscipto airport. They will send a car for you by prior arrangement (cost IDR.300,000, about $22, £17). The driver was careful and negotiated the busy roads with skill. On arrival, guests are met with typical Indonesian hospitality, check in is efficient and they show you to your room. Each room/suite, whether poolside or ‘outer tier’, is separated on both sides by a walled terrace. All are located on the ground floor with low step onto the terrace, which leads into a spacious room with a colonial feel but modern conveniences. Rooms are spacious and pleasing, with a comfortable bed, simple but modern bathroom with wet area, good a/c and excellent Wi-fi reception. Staff take a breakfast order each day for the following day, with a choice of western or local dishes. The choice is fairly basic but perfectly adequate. Lunch/dinner dishes are also available, served with soft drinks, ’mocktails’ or local beer. For the more adventurous, there is a restaurant frequented by local people, serving dishes at a fraction of hotel prices, just metres to the right, direction Boro. The pool area is very pleasant and was little used during my visit but appears to be safe for children. Borobudur itself is an easy 10-15 minute stroll from the hotel. They are also happy to arrange tours to Borobudur and other sites. I recommend if you’re planning to visit Prambanan also, that you buy a joint ticket, saving IDR70,000 ($5, £4). I recommend

No hot shower
There is no hot water comes out. I asked the staff to solve this problem but they are not supportive at all. There were many mosquitoes at bathroom and come into bedroom too. I won’t come back this hotel.

We stayed only one night at Shankara Borobudur but it was fantastic - beautifully landscaped, beautifully furnished room and bathroom (!), and tastefully decorated. The food was great and the pool just in front of our room. The location is fantastic for a sunrise Borobudur Temple tour, which we did - fantastic and worth getting up at 4:30am! I do not think you can find a better place so close to the temple.

Treating myself
I went for a solo trip and it’s close to Borobudur temple. I loved swimming and relaxing in the pool area after sightseeing. The room service was good. I think staff should give a heads up on when room service ends at check in. Also, recommend just offering tea and coffee in the lounge area, I know these are available in the room but sometimes to create a social environment and simple pleasure offering something like that would be great.

Peaceful design, breakfast is lacking when less than 8 rooms are filed. We stayed 2 nights, the buffet after 1st night was excellent; the custom-made breakfast after the 2nd nights (less than 8 rooms occupied) was quite bad. My pecel breakfast had ants inside the fried egg, I had to ask for the pecel sauce and krupuk. Coffee was great though and the staff was doting and quick to correct when asked.

Best Place to Stay in Borobudur
Having a walk around the area Shankara is easily one of the best hotels in Borobudur. Helpful a staff, nice restaurant, good pool etc. There isn’t much in Borobudur other than Borobudur temple, most people do it on an early morning day trip from Yogyakarta but we found it easier to stay over in Borobudur (early morning isn’t so early) getting a Grab taxi both ways for only 170k. I’d recommend only staying one night I.e. do the temples early the morning of check out, you’ll be out at 4.30 and back by 9am, 10 at latest. Plenty of time to check out and head back to Yogyakarta before 12.

The check in was prompt and after a brief introduction to the hotel, we were ushered to our rooms. The pool looks inviting and a nice place to chill out. Love the simple look of the hotel, pool and layout.
