This Batik workshop was one of our favourite experiences in Jogja! We met Belinda and her mum at their cosy studio, a calming sanctuary surrounded by plants. They were incredibly patient, guiding us through every step and explaining how the techniques translate to commercial production. Belinda spoke excellent English and was so friendly. She encouraged us to create our own designs and even gave us tips to make them even prettier. We upgraded from the 2-hour to the 3-hour package so we could get our pieces dyed, and we were so glad we did! It gave us a real appreciation for the time and effort that goes into dyeing. Belinda and her mum were generous with their time and knowledge, and made us feel at home. Our finished pieces turned out far prettier than we imagined, thanks to their guidance. All in all, it was such a lovely afternoon and definitely an experience we will remember fondly! We left with such full hearts and, as a bonus, pretty souvenirs that we handcrafted ourselves. 💕

Had an absolutely amazing time learning Javanese dance. Walking through the basic steps and foundations was incredibly in depth and allowed you to understand the details down to the movement of the fingertips. Instructor was an amazing and hilarious master of her craft with years of Javanese dance experience. Could recommend this to anyone of all skill levels happily!

We booked a private driver tour from 27–30 July, and it was truly one of the highlights of our Indonesia trip. A special thank you to our driver, Mr. Aris, for his professionalism, patience, safe driving, and kindness throughout the journey. He was always punctual, helpful, and made sure we were comfortable every day. We would also like to thank Mr. De Jong, the tour administrator, for his excellent communication and efficient arrangements before and during our trip. Everything was well organized, making our journey completely stress-free. Thanks to both of them, we were able to visit many places on our bucket list in Yogyakarta and create unforgettable memories. We were deeply touched by the warm hospitality of the beautiful people of Indonesia. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable. Terima kasih! We highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Yogyakarta.

I had a great time with Mr. Didi, he able pick me up earlier than the meet up time and it's good because we are able to start early at Borobudur. He also asks me if I know and want to try to Kape Luwak and able to visit and have a quick history of the coffee. I also bought some for my family ❤️ He also shares some trivia and few history along the way. It was fun and made my trip easier. another thing is he always go with me at the entrance of the places and guide me on what should I do. He is really helpful.

our driver, Imam was super friendly, accomodating and even though he said he wasn’t, very good at communicating in English! we had a great day. he communicated via WhatsApp about his location at the end of the temple visits and drove very cautiously.

the journey is smooth but the meal is different than the description. Better to ask the bus customer service about this. other than that all is good

The tour of Borobudur and Prambanan temples was thoroughly satisfying. Although the government entrance fees are high, the preservation, restoration, and maintenance efforts are befitting of a World Heritage site. The park transportation and the detailed explanations from the guides made it well worth the cost. PRAS, who explained Borobudur, was fluent in Japanese and shared stories about visits from the Imperial Family and how JICA, with Japanese ODA, helped with the site's development. His explanations of the history and reliefs were also excellent. For lunch, we ate at a delicious restaurant on the way to Prambanan. The daytime temperatures were high, and we were quite tired after Borobudur in the morning, so we only visited the main areas of Prambanan. Our driver, Romy, was a friendly young man who loved Japanese anime and kept us entertained with engaging conversation during the long journey. He was also skilled at photography and took some great pictures for us. This tour comes highly recommended.

Romy from Tejong Asia was an excellent tour guide. He arrived early to pick us up and was able to drop us off at different locations along the way so we could get the things we needed, such as breakfast, water, and iced drinks. He was very accommodating throughout the trip. he also edited the videos for us; he took photos and videos for the tour. He took the initiative to make a video on his own, and it was super cute and high quality. He also prepared plastic bags for us after the tour because he knew that our clothes would be wet, which was very helpful. Thank you, Romy. Anni from Pindol cave and gave us the best tour and even gave me his slippers because I lost mine in the water while he walked on the rocks barefoot and carried our rubber tubing for us, truly the best experience booking this tour. highly recommend for anyone looking to do smth fun in Jogja!

What to know before visiting Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta at a glance

Yogyakarta's busiest bookings come from Tours, followed by Events & shows and Massages, with Cultural experiences and Zoos & aquariums rounding out popular choices. Klook booking data shows strong seasonality through the year: demand is highest in August and notably low around March and April. That rhythm means travellers choosing when to visit must weigh crowds against atmosphere — choose peak-month energy captures the main decision. All figures and trends here are drawn from Klook booking data.

Best time to visit Yogyakarta

Demand peaks in August while the quietest months are March and April; Klook booking data records a very large rise for August and much lower activity in early spring. Prices move separately: median paid prices dip to around USD 22 in December and climb to about USD 40 in January, with fluctuations through the rest of the year. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for December or the quieter months like March–April; for lively atmosphere and events, visit in August–October when demand is highest.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Quieter than usual USD 29
February Very quiet USD 23
March Very quiet USD 29
April Very quiet USD 22
May Quieter than usual USD 28
June About average USD 28
July About average USD 37
August Peak demand USD 23
September Peak demand USD 38
October Peak demand USD 34
November Quieter than usual USD 36
December Very quiet USD 22

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay in Yogyakarta

Kraton is typically the most affordable district, with a median nightly rate around USD 23 according to Klook booking data, while Danurejan sits at the priciest end near USD 77. The typical gap between the two ends is roughly 70% by Klook's figures, so choosing one or the other strongly shapes your budget. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising cost savings and longer stays; pricier districts suit those seeking higher-end hotel comforts and a more polished stay. These comparisons are based on Klook booking data.

Tips for travellers planning ahead

Most travellers book experiences a few days ahead — Klook booking data shows bookings typically about 4 days ahead — while the earliest planners lock things in roughly three weeks out. That means you can stay flexible and often book short-notice, but booking earlier is wise for travel in August–October when demand spikes. Use Klook to check availability and secure tickets or tours in those peak months; the platform's past bookings suggest it’s practical to reserve sooner for busy dates while staying flexible for quieter months.
