It was in 2013, in the heart of Yogyakarta's oldest neighborhood, Kotagede, where the idea of BHUMI Hostel took root. Born from the shared dreams of two urban explorers seeking a deeper connection, BHUMI – an ode to the Earth – emerged as a home for those who yearn to travel differently.

At BHUMI, we champion authentic and immersive travel, curating experiences that foster a profound understanding of Yogyakarta's vibrant culture. The narrow streets of Kotagede become a canvas where global minds paint their unique narratives, challenging the norms of overtourism and discovering the essence of genuine connection.

Rooted in reciprocity, we thrive by giving back to our community, embracing partnerships with local entities, and fueling the social good. As we carve our path forward, we remain committed to our founding vision: inspiring a new breed of mindful travel that goes beyond sightseeing, to feeling, understanding, and connecting.

Thus, at BHUMI Hostel, our story becomes part of yours – a unique journey of discovery, connection, and transformation. A journey that began in Kotagede and continues to enrich and inspire as you explore the boundless landscape of the world.

Not all adventures are made the same - yours is waiting for you in this corner of the world.

Love,

Nino & Sari
