Review 2：very nice home stay! the owners are so lovely, friendly & caring. they are soooo lovely!! :) it was a truly great experience to stay there. highly recommend it. the room is basic but clean & all you need. the other guests staying there were nice & we had lovely conversations over tea in the dining area
Review 3：Hostel is located slightly outside the city centre and getting there for the first time is a little confusing, so prepare well. Once you know the right way it is very easy to get to the centre though.
Review 4：Very friendly and helpful staff, who made me feel very welcome.The hostel is located in a very quiet area.
Review 5：quite far from the main street and the neighborhood is pretty noisy due to the distance with the mosque
Review 6：The owner is very friendly, and she offers us option to upgrade to another place belong to her, as this rooms has no AC. The other guest house: Cendana Mulia, is clean, new, and worth the price!
Review 7：Only one thing. This may be issue with only our room because the window was facing mosque which was several house away but we were awaken with loud prayers veeeery early in the morning.
Review 8：Fantastic hostess, very friendly and helpfull. Speak very good english ( it was nice to finaly speak with somebody fluently ). Kitchen well equiped, nice neighbourhood, we received maps of Bogor and directions in regards to our future destinations. We could also try few fruits which were growing just outside the house (Rambutan was nice!)
Review 9：It felt like a homestay. The owner was very friendly en had soms good adviced. Helped us with booking traintickets. She cooked diner for us. Delicious!!
Review 10：Friendly owner, good tea and breakfast. Its fairly cheap and near to centre of Bogor with cheap public transportation for going places. The plus point is the owner sent us to the bus station for our next route to Bandung!
Review 11：Maybe a little bit far from the center but that's not a problem at all
Review 12：The staff there was unbelievable friendly and helpful. I also liked the hot water and the information giving for making a trip. Best choose bogor tours! It's really worth to make a tour with one of the lovely guides! loved it!
Review 13：Missed the sheets in the room, hot water in bathroom and towels.
Review 14：Home based atmosphere. Host is very nice and helpfull. Can take you to the tour around with car, also is very helpfull with tranportation and other needs. Also you can have home cooked food with other guests. Food was realyy good. Wifi works well.
Review 15：no complaints at all!
Review 16：this place is absolutely amazing!!! i would highly recommend everyone to stay at bogor hostel. The beds are cosy and the owners are truely amazing people. Ica gave me loads of information about bogor. She even invited me for dinner and cooked Beef Rendang which was the best I have had. I had very good chats with Ica and her husband, both really kind and honest people. When i left Ica gave me a lift to the bus terminal, after she accompanied me to the fruit shop and explained all the fruits to me. The location is perfect. You can get typical indonesian at soto ayam or posh fancy international foot at a place called lemon grass. Both only 10 min walk away. Easy to get to the botanical gardens aswell. Ica was the best host i can imagine. She and her husband are very interesting people to talk to. They are very open minded and helpful. I highly recommend this place, for when you first arrive in Indonesia. It's the perfect place to aclimatise to this beautiful culture. Ica has a lot of information about her own country and knows a lot of interesting facts. One of the best places i have stayed in indonesia !!!! Thank you for everything.
Review 17：Hostel bogor is been one of the best place ive been in indonesia, super friendly owners,really helpfull, amazing food.. I will be back for sure at the end of my trip!
Review 18：There isn't really a communal area so not an ideal place for meeting people if you are a solo travel. Rooms are very basic but this is reflected in the price.
Review 19：The lady who runs the hostel is lovely, very helpful with what to do and where to go as well as onward travel. Nice breakfast, decent location only a 5/10 walk from the main road with places to eat and the botanical gardens (20 minutes walk)
Review 20：nothing!
Review 21：wonderfull staff that can help you with absolutely everything. troughout our travels in Asia this staff ranks in the top 5. exceptionally clean and with all facilities you might need. also close to busstop, botanical gardens and shopping facilities
Review 22：The host is amazing! She is super kind and helpful to everyone. She took me and some other guests to the local tofu factory which was real neat. She does cooking classes as well and cooks fabulous meals!
Review 23：Bedrooms not too confortable but what do you expect for such a low price.
Review 24：Great hosts. Learned a lot about Indonesian culture from them. The hosts are even willing to help you with transport to the bus/ train station. Great solution when planning a quick visit at Bogor
Review 25：Nothing really
Review 26：Very kind staff, clean rooms, only 20min walk too botanique garden. The staff will pick you up or drop you off if the car is available.
Review 27：Nothing
Review 28：Everything is fine there. The owners are the most welcoming persons ever and help u out with every problem and have many good advices. Best hostel in 2 month indonesia.
Review 29：A bit further from center town and each night at 4 AM, you are waked by the prayers
Review 30：The owners were extremely kind, helpful and hostile. They taught us how to make gado-gado, a delicious Indonesian salad. You really live with their family and you van ask them almost anything. In sum, from a price quality point of view, very recommendable.
Review 31：The hosts were extraordinarily nice. They took care of everything andeverything was kept properly,clean and in good condition. Since thehosts have also traveled worldwide,they know what travellers expect andwhat they need. Definitely the place I would recommend to anybodyplanning to stay in Bogor. A big thank you to Ika and family
Review 32：Nothing!
Review 33：our hosts Ika and her husband are truly nice people. They got us the best deal with a car to mount salak for our volcano trek. Also the food that they provided was fantastic, and abundant. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Review 34：It is a bit far from the botanical gardens and bus and train stations, so don't expect to walk. Next door is a mosque, so expect to hear the call for the morning prayer, take earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
Review 35：The owner is one of the most welcoming people we met in Indonesia, going to great length to help her guests and very knowledgeable about Bogor and the surrounding area. It is everything you can expect from a hostel, including a great place to meat up with other travellers.
Review 36：Absolutely nothing.
Review 37：Ika is a super hostess. Also her husband and Son are very friendly and helpfull. she cooks super tasty food, gives you tips about Bogor and the rest of the country. She will even pick you up or bring you the station if you ask on time.
Review 38：People in Indonesia think plastic recycles, so they throw everything on the streets and in the rivers. Teach them. We must find a solution to this pollution. There was nothing wrong with the accomodation. It was tiptop!
Review 39：We shared many stories with Ika and Augus, and their family, as well with other travellers, very open house, a lot of love, good food, and a piano.
Review 40：Planned to stay just for one night end up in three:) Ika and her family is super hospital! If you want to understand Indonesia better there is no better place to sleep in! Moreover she connects the hotel society so noone feels there badly:) Totally worth recommending
Review 41：The location. And breakfast was home made Indonesian flavour, little bit less.
Review 42：The owner was very kind and loved to help. Very Nice bedroom and hot water in the shared bathroom. We had a nice stay.
Review 43：Owners are lovely people and so helpful. Very clean and comfortable place. Nice quiet location. Enjoyed delicious homemade meals with the other guests.
Review 44：Excellent homestay-style place, well located in a quiet area with good A/C, a brand new bed and delicious food. What really makes it is Ika and Angus, who are extraordinary hosts and people.
Review 45：The manager Ika is super caring with everyone,not only tell us how to find the correct transportation also prepare a lot of nice food to share with us. Ika's husband told us many useful travel tips. We really feel relax like home during the entire stay.
Review 46：The owner of the guesthouse was very friendly. She gave us information about bogor, took us to a local factory and she made us indonesian breakfast and dinner!
Review 47：Nothing.
Review 48：Incredibly friendly family, happy to help in any way possible and warmly greet you in to their home, offer advice and converse about the cultures of Indonesia. Good English spoken and plenty of knowledge about things to do further afield after you leave. Great breakfast, fresh fruit and even dinner all included in the price so you will not go hungry. A good environment to meet fellow travellers whilst also being surrounded by everyday Bogor life and the best place I have stayed during my 30 days across Indonesia. I already returned for a second stay and was greeted with the same enthusiasm and hospitality. Not to forget Doodoo the adorably fluffy dog.
Review 49：Ika is a warm and genuine person, and it shows in how she runs her home and guesthouse. Her hospitality is genuine and she goes above and beyond what is expected of a guesthouse owner. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable time than I had while staying at Hostel Bogor. The home stay is marvelous, the food superb, and the company fabulous. Though her guesthouse is not in the city center, it is quite easy to navigate Bogor once you figure out where to catch the no.8 bus. (After you book, Ika will email you the information.)
Review 50：nothing....
Review 51：The Owner, Ika, was totally friendly and helpful, the whole family speaks very good english. She even made us dinner when we arrived. The Breakfast is included. very quiet and peaceful garden. She dropped us at the busstation when we left for a very small fee. if u contact her before your arrival she will even pick you up...
Review 52：The facilities are very good, certainly for this price but the big difference is made by the couple who run it: they adore being helpful without being "pushy".
Review 53：The only slight negative point, is the property's location, being away from the city centre. That said, it's right on a very convenient bus route; and you get a more authentic Java experience by staying here rather than in another generic hotel!
Review 54：This is a comfortable and peaceful place to retreat from the noise and chaos of Bogor. The owners are lovely; very considerate, welcoming and helpful. I gather that the food is excellent too - I didn't stay long enough to find out, unfortunately!
Review 55：This was the best home stay I've ever experienced! Ika (the owner) treats you like family, looks after you and makes sure you'll have a great time in Bogor! The room is ok, it has a bed, a table and a plug in- all you need while you are on traveling.
Review 56：We spent 2 nights here and really were made to feel very welcome. The couple who run it were extremely accommodating, offering delicious food, cooking tips and lovely company. A very clean place to stay with very good bathroom and wifi facilities. Excellent English spoken. Some of the best hospitality and food we have had anywhere in the world. We would definitely visit again.

Review 62：The location is so central. The facilities are the best ive found and the family here all speak english.
Review 63：There are no blankets provided, although we did not ask for any. But that was truly the only negative side to our stay!
