What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bukit Lintang Sewu is praised for its stunning panoramic city light views, especially at night, and its tranquil natural setting amidst pine forests. Visitors appreciate the affordable pricing, particularly on weekdays, and the unique glamping and camping experiences available. However, the challenging access road and potential for crowds on weekends are noted drawbacks.
"It is a long drive on an adventurous road if you are coming from Yogyakarta. But if you like a quiet spot in nature it is worth coming here. On weekdays it is usually not crowded and very enjoyable. There are photo spots available and some may like those. But the view over the valley is probably the best. You may also find a lot of butterflies if you visit. Sturdy shoes might be of benefit."
Hadi Sukirman
"Located in very high place, getting here with car is a challenge. But its worth all the effort. Suggest the visit around sunrise or sunset to get the best view. I cant remember how much to enter this place but its very cheap during week days. They have big aesthetic Mosque, so you can pray when the time came. They have couple "Waroeng" with reasonable price. I suggest you take some coffee and snacks prior entering the area, so you can enjoy the scenery while having coffee and snacks. They also have some glamping and campings you can rent as well. There is coffee shop in the area but was closed during our visit."
Sri Yanto Qodarbaskoro
"Went there for New Year's and was amazed by the view. I was also amazed at how many tokay gecko's were on the deck eating the flying ants near the source of light. Bathroom underneath the glamping cabin was clean. Was quite difficult to sleep in that situation, and my body did feel quite itchy afterwards, maybe it was just me being paranoid but it also might just be the fact that it's outdoors."
