Nestled in the jungle, the setting is exquisite! The grounds are beautifully maintained and the filled with artful sculptures and historic touches. Around every corner of this vast resort there is something to delight in. The room was huge and felt like a romantic step back in time. The dark wood interior was filled with elegant touches, antiques, draped king bed, massive desk and several comfortable seating areas. There was a lovely balcony that wrapped around the room and overlooked a spectacular jungle. There was also both a private pergola and pool which made us feel like royalty.

That we didn’t have more time luxuriate in its magnificence

Staff wonderful. Professional, kind and discreet. Resort is 10mn from Borobudur temple that we can see from the Patio restaurant of the resort. An excellent restaurant worth a Michelin Star. Price above local restaurant but worth having at least a meal there. Excellent breakfast and afternoon tea. Room attended by quality staff. Always clean. Fruits, water and sweets left for us. Worth considering a stay if visiting the area.

Resort is located more than 1h from Merapi volcano, Prabaman temple and Yogyakarta thus be prepared to pay around A$26 minimum for a single ride and A$40 one way from/to airport. To remember that Java is at majority a Muslim country and that the 1st prayer call is at 4am. Ear plugs are provided by Resort.

We drove here from Jakarta as a family with young children, looking for a new roadtrip experience for they kids. There are many many great destinations in Indonesia, but not all have the Bali international standard when it comes to accommodation, which is I guess why Plataran exists. You can trust the brand and just follow where they set up their hotels in Indonesia for a great alternative to a Bali holiday. This one in Borobudur feels like the old Ubud before social media. World class property without the hype and crowds. I know you can find many hotels like this in Bali, but the change in setting is so refreshing. The attention they put to individual guests is impressive. They set up a whatsapp group with you that the management team answers immediately.

Maybe more unique activities for kids that other hotels dont have yet, but what they already have is also great amd well executed. I'm kind of pushing it because everything went well. Price maybe high, but thats what you pay for exclusivity and the attention to you.

The hotel is directly across the valley from the temple. It’s a shame the temple’s floodlighting is poor (and not every night) but when the mist forms it’s unparalleled. The gardens are beautiful, the room delightful, The bed is comfortable, the bathroom huge. The pool villas are excellent. The staff could not have done more, especially for the nine year old in our party. The food was good though some more choice would be welcome. It’s on a hill but the buggies come quickly via the WhatsApp group.

The 4 am call to prayer may bother some but there are earplugs.

Nice traditional looking villa w. all the modern comforts. A bathroom the size of your average hotel room. 3 x 7 m private pool on a immaculately gardened yard walled in from three sides and with a great view of the Menorah hills over the pool resulting in complete privacy. All the staff was extremely attentive and the service impeccable. The Patio restaurant is great and has a great view of the Borobudur temple as do some of the villas. Also, from a western point of view great value for money.

Having to leave.

An absolutely fantastic setting with an outstanding view of the cultural landscape around the Borobudur temple complex, which is a significant part of the World Heritage List and can be proud of those who still experience this unique view.

The construction site is a bit of a nuisance for a Christmas holiday. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to experiencing the new spa.

The whole resort is excellent, catering for a small number of guests in highly luxurious villas. The resort has very friendly staff members throughout but I want to give special recognition to the whole team in the Patio restaurant, both the experienced staff members and those in training who provided excellent service: professional, warm and responsive to our requests. Also special credit to the cleaning and ground staff who keep the rooms and the outside spaces immaculate. Highly recommended.

Perfect place to stay if you want to visit Borobodur temple. Beautiful site on a hill with charming villas and stunning views, including on the temple. Many options on the resort for dinner and all the restaurants are excellent. To book online your ticket for Borobodur before you travel to Java is highly recommended.

Modern villa was very nice with a magnificent view of the mountains from the garden. Lovely koi pond and outdoor patio. Nice bed and tv was fine.. but not enough time to try out the bathtub! In room dining - Iga Bakar Sapi was awesome ! Breakfast was on a la carte order. We tried the horse rides..Nice. Drop off and pickup from the temple was good. Wonderful driver ☺️

Nothing

Serene with spectacular views - spacious and beautiful villas and the restaurant was serving delectable food

Spa renovation currently ongoing was not ideal but the staff did what they could to make up for construction noise.
