Doeloerkoe Homestay

The staff mbak Dwi was very very kind, friendly and helpful. We checked in late, and she organized for us 5 persons to have dinner at the homestay's dining room. My son had a problem with his neck muscle a day before we came to the homestay, because of wrong sleeping position, and mbak Dwi gave him some massage and "kerokan" using warm oil. Next day, my son felt much better and relieved. Thank you, mbak! . The owner pak Rifat was also a very nice person as well. You feel like you have met them long time ago. Just like old friends. That's personal touch. You can have tea or coffee anytime. The place is very clean. The location is perfect. Just few minutes walk to the fort Vastenburg, Alun-alun, Pasar Klewer, some shopping centers, etc.

The nice place to stay, such that cleanliness & beautiful classical room and their hospitality as well.

No easy to park for my big car.

The location very strategic we can walk around area because near klewer market, keraton,gede market. It's the keraton area. Breakfast is really good because they give the traditional food it was fantastic if we are from abroad or another city who miss the traditional food. I really like all about traditional that's why I dicide stay here than in hotel because in here we feels like in our house.

The homestay decoration and style are mix from old house structure, javanese culture, and also modern touch. In other word, the place will gave you unique experience and not so boring. In the middle of house, you can find mini garden which is appealing and calm. The place location is awesome, you can find many tourist attractions nearby ex: Royal Palace area (10 min walking distance), Masjid Agung/Grand Mosque (10 min walking distance), Galabo Night Food Street (8-10 min walking distance), and Slamet Riyadi Street (8 min walking distance) which has many street culinary including cafes, restaurant, and also some Museums. The owner and staffs are friendly and very helpful. Mas Rifat (the owner) will give you some advice to explore Solo, he also will help you if you need to rent a bike/car. Mba Dwi (the staff) will prepare your needs including the Breakfast menu. You can ask her for traditional food for breakfast (nasi liwet, lontong sayur etc.) and she will bring the food to your door. The food was tasty !! ;). Last but not least, the place has a garage and also parking space for your vehicle P.S. the bathroom has hot water tap. To conclude, we really enjoyed our stay in there :-)

Some parts of the house need to be cleaned

The great people running the homestay! Rifat’s Dutch is also pretty impressive!

as mentioned in other reviews, the room itself does not have a wash basin, but it’s not really a big deal.

Rifat i(manager) is a really nice person - we had some great chats (perfect English). He also introduced me to some other guests which led to some very nice interactions. Dwi (the housekeeper) spoilt me with hot drinks and snacks. It really is an incredibly warm, homely environment. Very nice room - beautiful bed, good AC, nice shower! Tasty breakfast. Great location - lots of food options nearby. It’s a difficult place to leave!

Rifat, Dwi and other people were extremely kind and helpful! The homestay is based in the center, 5-20 minutes walk to all main sightseeing. Bed is very comfortable, one of the best I ever tried as a tourist. Tea and coffee are available during day time and in the evening.

There was no waterbasin in a bath room so cleaning teeth was a bit challenging.

Really nice staff that treat us like family 😊

Really beautiful house inside the bustle of solo, but you feel like you are in a different world. We liked Rifat a lot! Veerle practised Dutch with him and he helped us with everything. I bought two of Rifet pants, and now regret I didnt buy Batik there. We prolonged our visa here and it was super fast 3 days in total. He also hosted a great Phd student, Luigi, who is studying Arab influences in Indonesian language, if you are lucky he is still there. Great person. We were also surprised with nice extra’s now and then by Dwi and other staff. All in all, a very good stay.

Owners and those people who work here are very welcoming, sweet, friendly and kind. Which makes this place to be great and happy to stay. Everyone very kind and friendly. Room, bathroom and everything was very clean, wifi great. Coffee, tea and water can get free, as a complimentary. Rifat, manager of the place can speak fluent English and knows many languages. Very friendly. Dwi and Hana, ladies, who are in charge of cleaning and food also sweet and lovely. Breakfast is free and other food you can order on additional price, or just simply can go out and buy, because location of the place has not only small places to buy food, but cafe and ect. Wi-fi is great. Places for visit are nearby, cultural tours are offered too- can use what the homestay offering or just ask questions, and those will be kindly answered and can do on your own. Feels like a family and that's what the name of the place says. Homestay look also is beautiful- mix Dutch and Javanese culture. Highly recommended the price and the quality and feeling like at home- too.

To my personal view and wishes, I did like everything. If something I did need, the request was made on best of abilities. No complains. I am happy with everything.

Nice homie accommodation.
