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.

One of the best resort in Indonesia and the world. We’ve booked 3 villas, 2 modern pool villas and grand spa villa. The reception during our arrival was very friendly, warm and professional. We loved our breakfast at Patio Restaurant as the view from our table was amazing, you can see Borobudur temple and mountains around from it. Variety of al carte menu available to suit our needs. The villa and the resort environment also very tranquil and silent, it is best for our resilient holiday away from crowd and hectic. Mr. Bimo who was our guest liaison provide a very professional and courtesies service and helps during our stay. All the staff from concierge, buggy service, F&B servers and spa therapies provides us a very warm and professional services. It is one of the best Plataran Resort in the world.

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.

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.

Exquisite luxury through and through. The spa treatment is a MUST as they provide you with the entire spa villa and not just a room. We stayed only 1N and booked the Borobudur Villa. Didnt have much time to enjoy the room or the resort so I recommend staying at least 2N.

The food could be improved, satay beef and chicken quite hard, the duck also quite hard.

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.

One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in (and I’ve stayed in many!). The room was superb, the location incredible, and the view of the temple in the middle of the jungle was mesmerizing. All the staff were very polite, and the manager was both attentive and friendly.

The only downside was that my stay was way too short! The only downside! 😆

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.
