Villa Sambal

Superb Javanese Cooking Class (vegan on request!) - Bu Herni is such an incredibly nice lady and has many years of experience on organizing cooking classes. She was very helpful in adjusting the menu to our wishes (specific Javanese dishes we wanted to learn) as well as our dietary wishes (fully vegan). We learned a lot, had a great time together and of course the best part was the delicious feast that followed. We will be making these dishes regularly, I’m certain!

My boyfriend and I did a great cooking course at Villa Sambal with Herni. She is energetic, enthusiastic and relaxed at the same time. We learned many things about spices and ways of cooking. The end result was fenominal, we could not stop eating. The recipes are printed to take home :)

I’d say this cooking course is suitable for every experience level and age. I am a vegetarian and Herni created a whole menu around vegetarian food. She did a whole vegan menu before as well.

We had an amazing private vegan cookingclass! We cooked 4 delicious traditional Javanese dishes on request. Herni is very kind, a great chef and she was very helpful to put a entirely vegan menu together which was outstanding. Her cookingclass starts with buying groceries at the local market and ends with a feast in which we dined together and enjoyed all delish food. The cooking school is really a beautiful and serene place. Definitely would recommend this to a friend. Thanks for everything ???? Mirek u0026 Dennis

The owner is nice, the cook is nice, the place is awesome. But my friend's staying time is ended and they wants me to clean their room because there are some things they wants me to bring because my friend would need them later. But this one housekeeping keeps telling me that i dont need to bring all the things. She asked me to let her takes the things and give em to her grand kid. Dont like this kind of attitude. Better the owner train these people about attitude before let them work.

Herni (the owner) is amazing. Me and my wife hired her as our private driver to take us around the city. We went to Borodbadur, central Yogyakarta and the lava tour on Merapi. She is extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history and herself is kind, polite and friendly (she even had dinner with us after our trip). She is also very flexible and goes out of her way to make sure you get the most out of your experience. The prices of her tours are reasonable. I highly recommend her over the other well known private tour guides who can be unusually expensive. The location of Villa Sambal is convenient as its right by the Sultan Palace

Location Location Location!! Situated in a quiet kampung only s few minutes walk from the restaurants, bars and musical events of Jl. Tirtodipuran u0026 Prawirotaman, Villa Sambal has the best of both worlds.. The rooms are spacious and the guest house is architect designed with lots of plants and open spaces.. The owner (mbak Herni) is a delightful and generous host who also offers cooking classes and day tours to the temples of Borobudur u0026 Prambanan.. Highly recommended as a home away from home...
