We stayed in Plataran resorts both in Borabadur and Labuan Bajo. The facilities are fantastic. Our room was lovely, the pools are well kept, the food is safe and tasty and we appreciated that they provided safe drinking water. We got up to take photos of the sunrising over Borabadur and it was an amazing experience. We were picked up from our villa and there was hot coffee and snacks for us while the sun came up. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. There are 2 mosques in the area that use loudspeakers but it's part of the culture and experience. Borabadur is a quick drive away and amazing.

Private & Secluded Place for Peaceful Vacation
A quiet, serene compound of villas with amazing views of Borobudur temple at the far background. Full privacy and tranquility as each villa has its own secluded lot, with assigned executive butler, supporting our family vacation here. The welcome hand & shoulder massage at reception area when we arrived, quite a distinc service given. Don't miss to indulge in one hour morning yoga session at the open court/ amphitheater of Putri Dewi joglo building, that we enjoyed before breakfast time. There's small zoo for kids activity of feeding animal. A big swimming pool is available also near the dining place, aside from private pool at each villa. A remarkable place to stay indeed!! Find it out by your good self.

Room for improvement
The property is conveniently located near major tourist sites Borobudur and Chicken Church. Within the resort complex there's a mini zoo, where you can feed deer foods. Near the resort lobby there's a small stable for horseback riding, while there we saw a child fell down off the horse. The hotel personnel was a bit careless, for anyone reading this review please keep a close eye of your children and always pay attetion. We had the borobudr villa, the view is very nice as we can clearly see the temple. Breakfast buffet quality is above average, however selections could improve. The villa could get nosiy during prayer time but ear plugs were provided. The maintenance of the villa could also improve, the Ac wasn't working properly and need to be fix, and during our stay there were small grasshopper and ants inside the room and bathhroom.

beautiful, little villa resort, convient for sightseeing - great for 1 or 2 nights. Not worse to visit the local volcano, overpriced and not interesting for an European visitor. Downside, the hotel is surrounded by several very active mosques! You struggle to get a good night sleep although the hotel provides earplugs. From 4pm onward the main pool as well as the villa pools are in the shade, the hotel gym is very small and not well equipped. Borobudur was our 2nd stop on the a longer Asian trip and the relaxing atmosphere of Plataran Borobudur was very much appreciated.

We absolutely loved our stay at Plataran Borobudur. We spent the first week of our honeymoon here and really enjoyed how relaxing it was. We were so impressed at the hospitality of all of the staff; they waited on us hand and foot and made sure at every meal that we were happy and helped us with our plans for each day. The manager was amazing too! We did the Borobudur temple at sunrise and went on a bike tour around the local villages, making some pottery and learning how to make tofu. Would love to go back! 10/10 recommend!

acoustically challenged
When checking in we were let know that the resort is in a Muslim setting, a fact that should surprise no one traveling in Indonesia. We were offered earplugs together with this information. Despite having traveled in several Muslim countries, we were surprised by the intensity of the Muezzin prayers over public speaker, as well as the frequency. Sleep was impossible after 4 am, but allowed plenty of time to prepare for the sunrise, which can be observed from the restaurant's terrace with the temple in the background. During the day and evenings, there were plenty of other sources of noise, ranging from rock music to all kinds of celebrations, making one feel like being caught in an acoustic crossfire. Needless to say that this did impact our stay and our ability to enjoy the otherwise great hotel and restaurant.

Sublime sensory experience
Perfect in every sense! And it was nice to experience the local area. The view of Borobudur was magical and serene, and it was nice just to sit and watch it glow then grow dark at sunset. Breakfast was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Indonesian options. Javanese cooking at its best!

One of my best vacations ever!
Stayed at the hotel and got a room upgrade. The whole stay was just amazing! The staff were all so accommodating and helped make my stay more wonderful. I got the recommendation to go to Borobudur for a sunset instead of the sunrise as it's cloudy and I'm pretty happy I got the best photos. Food was amazing too and enjoyed all the Indonesian food.

A beautiful place to stay, incredible staff & food
I came specifically to visit the 1,000 year old Borobudur Buddhist temple as it has been a destination I’ve wanted to explore for many years. I was considering the Plataran anyway but what swayed it was a friend’s recommendation. I loved the place. The staff were incredible, doing everything they could to maximise your time with them, giving objective and helpful recommendations and advice. At times it almost felt too attentive, which is probably a good problem to have. The only downside was that many tours were based on a minimum of 2 guests which meant that they couldn’t organise some of their great experiences for a single traveller. So I missed out on one of my choices - the cycling tour of nearby villages - which was a disappointment. However, I got to spend the afternoon by the pool followed by an hour an a half experiencing a great massage in their beautiful spa!
