Best place for (almost) everything!”
This place has been my dream since years ago. Finally I have opportunities to stay here, even if one night only. Actually my stay here was superb, above expectation, perfect! Whether for honeymoon or just escaping city routines, this place is perfect. It’s only not perfect for you who seek luxury. But hey, what you’ll be missing here only swimming pool. The architecture of the bungalow is unique, no air-con but still feel cool. The room is large enough for small family and with private patio and garden. The room has it’s own luxurious touch, it feels like you stayed in royal Javanese house. The bathroom, esp the bath tub is the highlight. Last but not least, they take the word ‘Eco’ seriously. Their service was better than any 5 stars hotel. The food, don’t ask. Fresh from the garden, delicious, and suitable both for western or Locals. Will be back her for longer stay!

Eco-lodge with lots of thoughts behind”
It is an eco-lodge with lots of care for details with modern comfort. Traditional architecture with a high ceiling keeps the room cool. Wifi is good and an outdoor bathroom with lots of hot water and good pressure (very rare). But what you would love the most are the private decks all around the bungalow. No wonder somebody stayed here for 5 months during the lockdown!

Amazing hospitality, food, architecture in a tranquil village setting”
One of the most beautiful & welcoming places we’ve ever stayed... away from the hustle and bustle of Jogja is this peaceful village oasis, where we ate food from the stunning permaculture garden and relaxed in the cool breeze over rice paddies. The staff were attentive, kind and arranged massages, a bike tour, and anything else we needed. It’s a very special place indeed, and the eco credentials are real!

Truly a hidden gem”
After reading the others' review which made me choose the place, I had certain expectations of course. We were not disappointed at all. The place, the bungalow and the staffs were all impeccable. Just couldn't be any better. Foods were also excellent. Only shortcoming was the wine list which showed quite limited selection but fortunately, we brought our single malt bottle for the weekend. It felt like we are home away home but in the middle of jungle only surrounded by the sound of water running down the artificial small streams surrounding the bungalow and the birds chipping. Ah..geckos do their part to make you realize you are really in the middle of nowhere hideaway. Highly recommended. We will come back again for sure.

Perfect place to stay in Jogja”
Yabbiekayu is a beautiful, quiet and relaxing homestay only 20 minutes motorbike ride from the centre of Yogyakarta. Dave, Bakti and all the staff are amazingly helpful and super friendly - they helped organise tours, transport and even a take away breakfast for sunrise adventures. My bungalow was spacious, clean and so comfortable I didn't want to leave it - will definitely be staying again!

Great place for retreat but manage to enjoy jogja”
If you want to have a quiet place and enjoy kampong style in jogja with reasonable price this is the place. Stayed for 3 night with my wife, we really enjoyed the wood bungalow, the design, layout etc especially the outdoor bath. Verdict Location; 30 minutes from downtown jogja but splendid if you want to explore the outer ring of jogja like bantul. The bungalow; love it no AC no TV but we got the retreat feelings. The staff; super helpful and friendly. Suggested activities Visit kasongan find some art and home decor Go south to gunung kidul or north east to sleman Massage in the bungalow, reasonable price. Enjoy the bamboo viewing point in the morning. Ask the staff for everything.

A hidden gem!”
Nestled in rice fields, at the edge of a little village, you will not find this gem without knowing your way (or the cab driver knowing his way). But don’t worry, as soon as you will enter Yogya, the Yabbiekayu staff will welcome you by WhatsApp - perfect to communicate wherever you need held. directions or any assistance. They are always there for you, friendly, charming and attentive. I can’t think of a problem they wouldn’t try to solve for you! Don‘t look for aircon (you won’t need it), don‘t look for a sterile hotel atmosphere. You will get beautifully designed bungalows (exactly like the pictures show), made from reused, old, antique or even ancient materials. Sure, you’re in the middle of nature and amidst village people, there are noises - but hey, this is better than any app for nature sound. This is nature! Another highlight is the exquisite cooking, extremely good! Not to talk about a variety of breakfast dishes and the coffee. The coffee! Go there, enjoy!

Highly recommended! Excellent amenities, facilities and team.”
Yabbieyaku was far and above the best homestay we’ve experienced. Dave, Bakti and their team were amazing hosts. The local knowledge of the city was indispensable, giving us insights and advice on how to navigate our way around the environment and the local customs. Food from their kitchen was delicious, with the red rice grown in the fields we overlooked from our bungalow. The bungalows were innovative and well designed, using locally sourced timber, some of it reused. The outdoor bathroom was a game changer. Yabbiekayu was clean and the staff were obviously well paid, caring a lot about the place and taking great pride in keeping it in good nick. I highly recommend his experience.

A hidden gem set amidst the rice fields”
What a wonderful place, setting, spirit, what great people! Yabbiekayu is set at the edge of the village Tembi, facing the rice fields. It is designed and managed with great thoughtfulness and sense for sustainability, beautifully decorated with antique, even ancient material and furniture. Don’t expect air condition - you won’ need it. Don’t expect a sterile resort atmosphere - you live with people and nature. You can expect a unique experience. The cooking was exquisite, not to mention the great variety of breakfast dishes and the superb coffee. Best of all is the wonderful staff! They are all so witty, charming and attentive. I was overwhelmed by their friendliness. Come. Enjoy. Share.

Magic”
Yabbiekayu was a beautiful coda to our two weeks around Indonesia. It was a lovely and luxurious experience in the village environs. The food was divine and the staff were super in their interesting stories and assistance for our explorations of Jogja.

Beautiful, Complete Oasis”
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay - beautiful rooms, amazing food, lovely staff and really appreciate the attention to detail and personal touches, particularly all the eco focuses. Slightly out of town, but that enhances the relaxed feel and beautiful surroundings, while it's quite easy to get into town anyways. Very highly recommended and hope I make it back before too long.

A real gem”
What can I say, this place is just one of a kind. Initially I was concerned it may be still within city limits but as I was walked to my bungalow, I realise I had stumbled over a very special place. Everything is perfect: the rooms with carefully selected furniture and objects, the absolutely delightful yet very affordable food, the view over the rice fields and the incredibly welcoming team who helped me organise an unforgettable bicycle tour in the rice paddies. Really enjoyed my conversations with David who has put so much efforts into making this place a sustainable one. I hope they liked me, because I will be back!

Magical stay by the paddy fields of jogya”
Secret garden in the middle of a typical javanese kampong, dotted by a handful of quaint villas and an unlimited supply of smiles from the local staff. A stay to remember and a place to return to again!
