Bedhot Homestay

My late grandparents lived in Yogyakarta in the 1950s, and I wanted to get a sense of the kind of house they called home. This homestay is a charming and authentic old Javanese family house. It felt like stepping back in time, giving me a deep connection to my family roots. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The rooms are small wooden cottages, each equipped with airconditioning. The shower had warm water. The on-site restaurant serves reasonably priced Indonesian food, with accommodations for allergies. Breakfast is included in the room rate. The night before, staff offers 3 breakfast options, letting you choose your dish and time. The omelet and banana pancake were both excellent. They also offer a laundry service, including both express and standard options at reduced rates. The staff could easily fix a couple of issues: the mosquito net had many large holes, letting mosquitoes in, and the room lacked blankets—just a small bedspread that didn’t fully cover the bed. A bigger issue is that the rooms are not soundproof, despite what’s advertised. I could hear other guests talking, laughing, and coughing. Twice during my first night at the homestay, I had to ask noisy guests on the terrace to be quiet, while management did nothing. When I complained, the staff simply said, "They leave tomorrow," as if that solved anything. Furthermore, roosters crowed from 1:00 to 9:00 AM, and Islamic prayer and music from 3:30 to 5:30 AM further disrupted my sleep. At 7:00 AM, Islamic prayer was broadcasted through speakers again, making it impossible to sleep in. If you’re a light sleeper, I cannot recommend this place.

Simply wonderful, really fantastic. I had hoped for a traditional Javanese homestay with gardens in comfortable outdoor areas and Java house architecture, which it most definitely is, and I also hoped for the warm, friendly hospitality that the Javanese are famous for, but I didn't expect to make lifelong friends with the cheerful staff, and be treated like long-lost family. Thank you Bedhot and all your delightful crew for a most memorable experience that will stay with me and my boys for a lifetime. The breakfasts were outstanding, the rooms clean and tidy and quiet, and helping us with everything from where to get local taxis, transport to temples, and to how to pronounce Bahasa was greatly appreciated. l can't wait to return and share our time together again, we miss you all terribly already and only left this morning. Hopefully see you all again soon.

We spent three nights at Bedhost Homestay, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The peace and the beautiful green surroundings make for a truly relaxing stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They know the area very well and assisted us with everything, from arranging a laundry service to planning activities. The bike tour they offer is truly a highlight! We rode on brand-new bicycles through local villages and visited small family-run factories where tempeh, tofu, crackers(kerupuk), and bricks are made. Additionally, we got a unique glimpse into local village life and farming. It was fascinating to see how farmers work. If you’re a fan of local art, the batik created by Javanese artists in the area is a must-see. A perfectly faclilitaded bike-tour! As for the owner himself, Bedhost (his nickname), there’s a lot to say. He is a VW-classic car enthusiast and an artist, which is clearly reflected in the architecture of the cottages and the stunning woodwork. His philosophy of slow living is evident everywhere, making this the perfect place to unwind after busy days filled with activities.

If you want a comfortable place to stay in a peaceful authentic( and beautiful) setting at a modest price go to Bedhot homestay. Helpful warm staff, a fantastic host ( the artist Bedhot) , nice local food( see menu- also included varied breakfast) and great little touches like gratis endless chilled water, make this place quite special.. If you are lucky Bedhot ( a VW enthusiast) might even take you for a free spin around the paddy fields in the vintage vehicle in picture attached . We would love to go back!

Bedhot has a crazy style the place is really beautiful and cosy, the breakfast great and organised for every eventuality and request! A special thanks goes to my hearts, the staff formed by Sam Endo and Fajarr who made me feel at home and we enjoyed every moment! Perfect, for couples, friends and especially for solo travellers like me! Thank you guys so much I will miss you
