Fantastic 5.0

I had a very nice massage. Convenient redemption. You get free drinks, pastries and Matcha ice cream afterwards too! You can book your preferred timeslots via Whatsapp, 3 hours in advance but usually if they’re not too full it should be fine

Therapist was skilled. Recommended to book via Klook if you're visiting Taman Sari Royal spa as it will be cheaper

Great 4.0

Masseur is slightly above average. The air con system could be cold to the body when some ailment is applied to body, she should have used more towel or blanket to cover the customer. The support to the head can be uncomfortable after lying on the bed head down for awhile. Most importantly I found our booking directly with Yufuku only costs IDR390,000, about IDR100,000 cheaper than booking with Klook.

The place is comfortable and clean. It also includes snacks and drinks. Unfortunately, this package doesn't include a shower, so make sure the location is close to your home.

I was confused about what to do in Ashta District 8, so I finally decided to have a massage at Meiso. All the therapists here are very professional.

Mrs. Yena's massage was very satisfying. Her touch was gentle yet firm, and she focused on the areas I requested. Best of all, she arrived 10 minutes before the scheduled time, allowing us to start quickly without any waiting. I will definitely use her services again.

Fantastic 5.0

I visited Taman Safari with my family. The pickup time from downtown Jakarta was at 7:30 AM, and we departed right on time. Our guide was Shoimul Anwar. He was pleasant and kind. We received carrots for free, and bananas and watermelon were purchased separately. It took about two hours to get to the safari, and we immediately started the car safari. We fed the animals as we went, and it was a very enjoyable experience. Following our guide's instructions, we watched the elephant show, dolphin show, and pandas. It was too big of a place to see everything in one day. Thanks to our guide, we were able to finish the itinerary happily. Highly recommend!
