Melva Balemong

I had a fantastic stay at Melva Balemong. The property is absolutely beautiful, with traditional Javanese joglo architecture that creates a unique and authentic atmosphere. The gardens are stunning and exceptionally well maintained, making it a peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature. The staff were outstanding—warm, welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. The entire property is clean, tranquil, and full of charm. If you're looking for a place that combines traditional Indonesian heritage with beautiful surroundings, Melva Balemong is an excellent choice. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Semarang area.

The only areas that could be improved are the TV connection, which could be more reliable, and some of the rooms, which would benefit from a light refurbishment to match the beauty of the rest of the property. These are relatively minor points and did not take away from the overall experience.

Hotel bersih, asri stafnya sangat ramah, kejawen, tradisional, serba gebyok, view pegunungan, udara bersih, sejuk, suasana tenang, walaupun malam hari tidak menyeramkan. Sudah 2 kali saya menginap di hotel ini. Kuliner di sekitar hotel lumayan banyak.

Lokasi agak jauh dari kota semarang. Saran (pribadi), saya kurang suka masakan terlalu manis. Kebetulan menu sahur saya kemarin lauknya tempe, tahu, ayam, telur, dimasak bacem manis semua. Yang lainnya enakkkk sayur bayam, peyek.

Wir hatten ein Deluxe-Zimmer, das einfach und zweckmässig, aber sehr geschmackvoll im javanischen Stil eingerichtet war. Alles war äusserst sauber. Vor dem Zimmer standen zwei gemütliche javanische Stühle mit direktem Blick auf den Vulkan Gunung Ungaran – ein wunderbarer Ort zum Verweilen. Die gesamte Anlage ist phänomenal gestaltet, mit vielen alten javanischen Antiquitäten und eindrucksvollen Skulpturen, die zum Staunen einladen. Überall gibt es schöne Sitzgelegenheiten, um die gepflegte und ruhige Umgebung zu geniessen. Das Essen im Restaurant war ausgezeichnet, das Frühstücksbuffet hervorragend. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit des Personals: sehr hilfsbereit, herzlich und aufmerksam. Ein Aufenthalt hier ist absolut empfehlenswert. Es waren mehrheitlich einheimische Gäste vor Ort, was eine wunderbare Gelegenheit bietet, in die indonesische Kultur und ihre Gepflogenheiten einzutauchen. Unser Aufenthalt war fantastisch und geprägt von vielen liebevollen Begegnungen mit den Indonesiern.

Wir hatten einige kleinere Unannehmlichkeiten im Badezimmer. Es gab keinen Duschvorhang mehr, sodass beim Duschen – wenn der Duschkopf in der Halterung blieb – das ganze Badezimmer nass wurde. Zudem lief das Lavabo nicht richtig ab, weshalb man jeweils den Stöpsel entfernen musste. Es handelt sich dabei um Kleinigkeiten, die sich sicher schnell beheben lassen.

We saw seating capacity not reduced and tables not spaced at least six feet apart at the restaurant and none of hotel staff members remind their guests on social distancing. Food and Beverage: An excellent dining experience these days are no longer only determined by the taste of the food but also its presentation. Breakfast did not meet our expectation.

Cappuccino, espresso, café latte or Americano must be served in its respective cup. When serving hot soups, always make sure to serve the broth stays hot.
