About Us
Hello backpackers and solo travelers! We’re Social Ducks Hostel, your cozy, social, and budget friendly stay in Borobudur, Magelang. Just minutes from Borobudur Temple, miles away from boring. Book your bed, meet new friends, and explore Central Java the local way! Stay close to the Borobudur Temple, far from boring!
We’ve made an intentional decision to keep things small, just 8 mixed bunkbeds and one private room. This isn’t about limiting space. It’s about creating room for what matters: real human connection, thoughtful collaboration with our local community, and hopefully, a travel experience that gives back more than it takes.
We’re also hoping to be a place where travelers meet with purpose, where stories are shared over meals, and where you see how tourism can actually support the people and places it touches.
At Social Ducks Hostel, we believe tourism should support, not disrupt, the local way of life. That’s why we’ve built this space not just as a place to stay, but as a living example of how travel can do good.
Our Mission
To provide an intimate, welcoming space for travelers seeking real connection, with people, place, and purpose.
To collaborate with local changemakers and community led initiatives that make tourism a force for good.
To demonstrate that sustainable, community based tourism is not only possible, but replicable and that it can grow from the ground up, without losing its soul.
To inspire both guests and locals to embrace conscious travel that leaves a positive footprint.
To create a world where travel and tourism supports, not disrupts, where every journey deepens human connection, uplifts local communities, and inspires conscious choices. We envision a growing network of small, meaningful stays that lead by example, rooted in gotong royong and mutual respect.
