Stayed in ViaVia Guesthouse from 15th April to 24th April 2013 and had a wonderful stay there. My 8 nights there was filled with the best staff (Dani, Pandi, Sami, Wawan & Anton) and I could chat with them for hours. There's only 7 rooms here and the staff could remember each one of the guest name. Location: Jalan Prawirotaman,... More

We stayed after a recommendation from friends and didn't regret it at all. The staff were lovely and friendly, the rooms though basic were clean and comfy and the tours operated through the cafe were all great. We did the village cycle which was good fun and interesting though hot! Definitely do the sunrise Borobudur temple, very early start but... More

Dear Ellie, Thank you for your review! I am happy you enjoyed your stay! Thank you also for your inputs! I personally love the out door bathroom, but yes, ants have a will of their own that requires management! We are looking into how we can improve! Note to readers: we also have rooms with AC.

We had a good stay in ViaVia guest house few days ago: rooms were rather basic, but clean; bedding looked quite old, if replaced would probably give a room fresher feel; we did had occasional visitors in form of ants and some other insects but they didn't bother us, and probably were inevitable considering our bathroom was outside (Kalimantan room)....

Dear OMandri, Thank you for your review! I am happy that you enjoyed your stay in the Guesthouse. About your experience traveling to Bromo: I have to clarify the tour operator you used is NOT a partner of ViaVia. We do not sell these tours, nor do we officially recommend these tours to our guests. The receptionist of ViaVia Guesthouse... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Sulawesi room at the ViaVia Guesthouse for a few nights and we're quite pleased. The setting was quite lovely, on one of the side streets so it was quiet but close enough to all the restaurants in the area. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming the minute we walked in, and really... More

My wife and I loved the Via Via Guesthouse and look forward to staying at other Via Via Hotels in the future. The Via Via Guesthouse is off the main streets of Prawirotaman so is a little quieter than most of the other hotels. There are a few spacious, clean rooms and a backyard dining area for breakfasts. The staff... More

A nice, quiet place in a leafy neighbourhood. The staff was extremely friendly and nice - we feeled like being at somebody's place at home. The breakfast was good and it varied every day. The room was big (we had the Sulawesi room) and very clean with a wonderful bamboo bathroom. The only thing that the room lacked was some... More

Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed your stay! I agree, mbak Dani is fantastic! Being located in a smaller street, just off the bustling Prawirotaman, has some great advantages in that it is more quiet, yet just a few meters away from anything a traveler would need. Welcome back! More

I usually stay in slightly more upmarket hotels (4 to 5 stars) but was advised by a friend who lives in Yogyakarta that I might appreciate this place. I must say I did.
