This property has not been maintained. The hot water never worked, had to change rooms. Even after that the hot water was intermittent. a lot of flies in the dinning area. The only good thing was the staff. It was way too over priced for the property. Expedia should not promote this property. Never send your customers to this property

Lovely property

This property was wonderful! Clean and lovely rooms and a gorgeous pool. Staff was BEYOND helpful and that made a few issues we had (not hotel related, ATM related) very easy to deal with. We unfortunately could only stay one night, and upon arrival that was something we immediately regretted. We hope to get back to see more of this area and will definitely return to this hotel.

An oasis of peace & tranquility with great service

The Shankar is about a 60-80 min ride from Yogyakarta Aduscipto airport. They will send a car for you by prior arrangement (cost IDR.300,000, about $22, £17). The driver was careful and negotiated the busy roads with skill. On arrival, guests are met with typical Indonesian hospitality, check in is efficient and they show you to your room. Each room/suite, whether poolside or ‘outer tier’, is separated on both sides by a walled terrace. All are located on the ground floor with low step onto the terrace, which leads into a spacious room with a colonial feel but modern conveniences. Rooms are spacious and pleasing, with a comfortable bed, simple but modern bathroom with wet area, good a/c and excellent Wi-fi reception. Staff take a breakfast order each day for the following day, with a choice of western or local dishes. The choice is fairly basic but perfectly adequate. Lunch/dinner dishes are also available, served with soft drinks, ’mocktails’ or local beer. For the more adventurous, there is a restaurant frequented by local people, serving dishes at a fraction of hotel prices, just metres to the right, direction Boro.
The pool area is very pleasant and was little used during my visit but appears to be safe for children.
Borobudur itself is an easy 10-15 minute stroll from the hotel. They are also happy to arrange tours to Borobudur and other sites. I recommend if you’re planning to visit Prambanan also, that you buy a joint ticket, saving IDR70,000 ($5, £4). I recommend

We stayed only one night at Shankara Borobudur but it was fantastic - beautifully landscaped, beautifully furnished room and bathroom (!), and tastefully decorated. The food was great and the pool just in front of our room. The location is fantastic for a sunrise Borobudur Temple tour, which we did - fantastic and worth getting up at 4:30am! I do not think you can find a better place so close to the temple.

Treating myself

I went for a solo trip and it’s close to Borobudur temple. I loved swimming and relaxing in the pool area after sightseeing. The room service was good. I think staff should give a heads up on when room service ends at check in. Also, recommend just offering tea and coffee in the lounge area, I know these are available in the room but sometimes to create a social environment and simple pleasure offering something like that would be great.

Peaceful design, breakfast is lacking when less than 8 rooms are filed. We stayed 2 nights, the buffet after 1st night was excellent; the custom-made breakfast after the 2nd nights (less than 8 rooms occupied) was quite bad. My pecel breakfast had ants inside the fried egg, I had to ask for the pecel sauce and krupuk. Coffee was great though and the staff was doting and quick to correct when asked.

Best Place to Stay in Borobudur

Having a walk around the area Shankara is easily one of the best hotels in Borobudur. Helpful a staff, nice restaurant, good pool etc. There isn’t much in Borobudur other than Borobudur temple, most people do it on an early morning day trip from Yogyakarta but we found it easier to stay over in Borobudur (early morning isn’t so early) getting a Grab taxi both ways for only 170k. I’d recommend only staying one night I.e. do the temples early the morning of check out, you’ll be out at 4.30 and back by 9am, 10 at latest. Plenty of time to check out and head back to Yogyakarta before 12.

Nice and quiet hotel.

Check in was quick and hassle free. The room is big, step right out to the huge pool. and behind us is the vast padi fields. We chose this hotel as it is near Borobudur temple & planned to catch the sunrise. As it has been raining the hotel staff told us that they will give us a wake up call if the weather permits. Fingers crossed, at 4:30 am we left by bike (10 min ride) to get to Manohara Hotel for the entrance tickets. It's IDR450,000 each for the sunrise tour which include light snacks/drinks & souvenir. After that we we walked back to Shankara, enjoying the quiet, relaxed atmosphere of the surrounding village. If u enjoy a laid back kinda holiday, this is the place.

Hotel with personality close to Borobudur

I'd opted to stay at Shankara Borobudur for the price and close proximity to Borobudur, which I planned to visit very early. Not only was it conveniently located, but the friendly staff and \"personality\" of the hotel made it a place that I'd want to visit again. We were upgraded to a pool view and handed a ginger tea upon check in, and the staff walked us to our room. Our room was clean and really fun -- we had a small pond with fish, and the bathroom was huge and had an \"open air\" concept, garden included! I thought it was really cool -- there was no way anyone could see or come in; only a small portion of the roof/ceiling was open (safety/privacy was not a concern). Free wifi in both rooms and public spaces, nice pool, rice paddies behind the hotel. Aside from that, there's a restaurant at the hotel, which we used for most of our meals and thought was enjoyable. Finally, the staff gave us a complimentary ride to the bus stop upon check out, which was really helpful. Of the 6 or so hotels that we used throughout our trip, this was one of our favorites.

リゾート感あふれるホテル

メインの通りに面していたので、タクシーのドライバーにもホテル名だけ伝えれば大丈夫でした。スタッフの方々も丁寧、かつ、フレンドリーでした。サンライズツアーも申し込めます。時間通りにモーニングコールもあって、すばらしかったです。朝ごはんはスープが絶品。何度もお代わりしました。部屋は、ベッドルーム以外は外(屋根あり、外からは絶対に見えません)で開放感あり(笑)ただ、雨期で湿度が高いので、トイレの度にムワッとした熱気にやられるので好みがわかれるところかと思います。クローゼットも外なので、日本から持ってきた冬物を置く気にはなれなかったです…。プールの水はきれいですし、庭もしっかり手入れされていて写真をついつい撮影したくなるほど管理されていました。また泊まりたくなるリゾートでした。

美しく機能的、快適な滞在

とても美しくデザインされたリゾートホテル。館内・部屋は華美ではないが機能的で無駄もない、自然と調和しととのえられたような美がある。洗面が半オープンスペースなのは驚いたがこれも雰囲気作りに好ましい印象だった。エアコンもよく効いて眼前のプールも相まってとても暑い日だったが涼しげな気分になった。
レストランで食事も取ったが美味しかった。ボロブドゥールまで歩いて行けるが繁華街？やバスステーションはちょっと遠い。
ジョグジャまではバスはたいへんだ、タクシーのほうがいいとフロントで勧められて30,000Rp、空港TAXIが直行で250,000Rpだったのでちょっと高かったがスタッフ親切心もありがたく感じました。質問にもていねいに答えてもらえる。また泊まっても良い。

Satisfeita mas com algumas surpresas

A escolha do hotel Shankara se baseou na proximidade do Templo de Borogudur, razão de minha visita a esta cidade. O hotel é simpático, com amplos quartos e deliciosa piscina, atendimento igualmente simpático e atencioso, wifi perfeito e comida saborosa. De forma geral, atendeu minhas expectativas considerando o custo benefício: a tarifa foi boa e me senti bem acomodada.
Entretanto, chamo a atenção para duas situações:o hotel esqueceu de enviar ao aeroporto de Yogiakarta o transfer que eu havia agendado e confirmado previamente. Tive que ir do aeroporto para lá de taxi, o que me causou certa apreensão, mas que, no final, correu muito bem. .
A outra situação foi que, como se costuma visitar o Templo de Borogudur no amanhecer e não queria ir a pé de madrugada até o acesso ao Templo, tratei com o hotel um transporte para lá. Na hora H o transporte chegou: uma lambreta!! Ok, esse transporte é extremamente comum na Indonésia mas é bom que isso fique claro para aqueles que, como eu, esperava um carro...
Gostei da experiência geral e da escala nesta cidade. O Templo valeu a visita e as surpresas!
