"Pros: Had a wonderful stay—thanks to the warm hospitality and stunning rice field view. Mas Hisyam, the villa manager, was hands down the most genuine host we’ve ever met. From helping us take photos at check-in to setting up our takeaway dinner in the villa’s dining hall, he made everything feel personal and thoughtful. He even greeted us all by name—something you rarely get at hotels. He helped prep breakfast boxes for our early start one day too. Wish we got to say goodbye properly—he truly made the stay feel like home. The villa’s in a peaceful spot off the main road but still close to town. A few food gems nearby—Lemah Abang is great for local breakfast & coffee vibes, and Ayam Goreng Cemplung is just a short drive away. The rooms open right into the infinity pool, which has amazing views in the morning and late afternoon. Nice touch letting guests enjoy all the snacks and drinks in the room, plus extra water beyond the allowance. Cons: A few small areas of the villa could use some light touch-ups—like slightly loose toilet bowls in two rooms, a stiff patio door in one, and weathered wood panels above the pool. Some walls also have minor cracks and peeling paint. The provided soap and shampoo had a strong, unusual scent, and even after switching, we ended up buying our own. Breakfast kueh was lovely—our kids especially liked the lumpia—but the mains could be improved. The nasi goreng was a bit salty, the soto ayam used unfamiliar spices, and the mie Jawa was okay. Minor things overall, but worth refining to make an already great stay even better." ~Ferdi

"Pros: What a great experience! Joop & Julia are both amazing hosts and I was so happy to spend time in their homestay while doing some cyclings, massage and eating great nasi goreng :) Cons: Everything was perfect!" ~Julien
