About

Hello from Social Ducks!
We’re a hostel nestled in Borobudur, Magelang, right in front of rice fields. Wake up to green views and good vibes.

At Social Ducks Hostel Borobudur, it's not just about providing a place to sleep, it’s about creating a welcoming space where travelers can connect, relax, and feel at home. We’ve chosen to keep things small and intimate, with only 8 beds in our dormitory and one private room, allowing for a personal, friendly atmosphere where guests are more than just faces in a crowd.

With fewer guests at a time, it’s easy to meet new people, share stories, and enjoy meaningful conversations. Whether it’s over breakfast, exploring the area together, or unwinding in the common space, our hostel fosters a relaxed vibe where connections happen naturally.

We also believe in conscious and responsible tourism. By keeping our hostel small, we can minimize waste, be mindful of our energy and water use, and support local businesses. We also source local products to create an authentic experience for our guests while practicing conscious travelling and community based tourism. We collaborate with local businesses to ensure that travel benefits everyone : locals, visitors, community and small enterprises.

Through sustainability, fair wages, and inclusive practices, we aim to show that tourism can support, not disrupt, the local way of life.

Tutto stupendo bene! Il ragazzo alla reception; Danang è stata super gentile e ha soddisfatto le mie richieste. Camera pulita come anche il bagno, letto comodo e stanza fornita di aria condizionata. Caffè, acqua, tè gratis; anche bici in uso gratuito. Struttura era accessibile tramite codice. La posizione solo 7 minuti a piedi dal tempio di Borobudur. Insomma tutto quello che ci si può aspettare da un eccellente ostello, veramente consigliata; ci ritornerei senza dubbio ✨️

My stay here was absolutely exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything. The hostel is spotless, cozy, and has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The facilities are top-notch, the location is perfect, and the environment is just amazing overall. I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better experience — highly recommended! :)
