There are always less well known accommodation which are bargains and the Cakra Homestay is one of them. The home stay is quite private with a wall surrounding it, the room is value for money and QUIET, the common area has good wifi and lovely furniture and sometimes the gamelan practices in the music room and you can sit there...

Stayed in one of the air-con room. It was very basic. The bed and blanket felt kinda old. The pool wasnt working when we stayed here last time. But it was ok, we barely stayed in the premise as there was alot to see in Solo. The location of this homestay was excellent, it was within walking distance to alot... More

We stayed two nights at Cakra Homestay and had a great time. mainly because of two factors... swimming pool and Wahyu. We did not have any big expectations about Solo, but Wayhu suggested we stayed one more night to see some temples. We had a wonderful motorbike trip up the mountains, driving next to tea plantations, durian trees, the greenest... More

We came to Cakra because it was the only place the motorbike taxis knew and stayed with them for one night. The grounds and the buildings are just beautiful and it is extremely relaxing. As others have mentioned it has its own swimming pool and the tower in which you can sit and relax is wonderful. We enjoyed the music... More

The rooms are pretty, the bathroom is very basic but clean. They even have a swimmingpool! In the evenings there often are gamelan-orchestra's practicing. We payed 175.000 for a double with airco and breakfast. You can sit on a tower looking over the roofs of the town.

Don't expect really luxurious rooms, but they are clean. For the price, you have a great and clean swimming pool and breakfast. 100.000 IDR (including poor breakfast, bathroom outside). The house is really nice, it has a terrace where you can chill out with nice views. And the house it has its very own music room, quite cool. The staff... More

Like other people I picked this from lonely planet at very short notice and wanted a cheaper place and not the orginal place I had booked which was 650,000 per night. After looking at a few rooms on the ground floor I went for one on the first floor just past the pool. The rooms are basic, bathroom is a... More
