  • Always wanted to visit this one. As it's expected it feels magical somehow. I like it very much. The guide explanation is superb, you pay as you wish but please pay them enough. They take photos too! Knew the great spot. It's clean and well taken care of as expected. A must visit place in Jogja!
  • I'm in love with the view! Have to visit but not during a peak season because there were a lot of people during the school holidays. Everything was great, the weather, the color, just everything! You got to experience the Yogyakarta village after coming out of the place too, feels homey.
  • I will say this place amazing, because u can feel the historical, and you can also asks for a tour guide, they will tell you the history, why the building is like this and that and others. Pictures? Will be great if you took some when u are visiting. Helping strangers took pictures of them, they will be thankful for that, but dont force.
  • I came here on holiday with my husband. Tickets cost 5,000. It's a historical relic. We are very happy to visit here. The guide is very well and friendly. He can explain the details about this place. Come love Indonesian heritage!!
  • Great little spot. I really enjoyed my time here. Unfortunately the main photo spot was “closed for covid” whatever that means 👀 but the rest was very beautiful and interesting. The tunnel was otherworldly and amazing 🤩
