RedDoorz Golden Averis Cibuluh Bogor: Unbeatable Bogor Getaway!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the review of RedDoorz Golden Averis Cibuluh Bogor: Unbeatable Bogor Getaway! Prepare for some real talk, folks. Forget the cookie-cutter reviews; this is gonna be messy, honest, and, hopefully, a little bit hilarious. Let's get to it!
Holy Bogor, Batman! Is This Place Actually Unbeatable? Let's Find Out!
First off, let's address the elephant in the room: that "Unbeatable Bogor Getaway" tagline. Bold statement, RedDoorz. Bold statement indeed. Can they live up to the hype? Well, let's break it down, category by gloriously chaotic category…
Getting There & Staying There (Accessibility & General Haps)
- Accessibility: Alright, so getting to Bogor is pretty straightforward. The hotel itself? Well, it's a RedDoorz, so don't expect Buckingham Palace levels of accessibility. Still, I found it pretty decent, which is saying something. The elevator is a lifesaver.
- Check-in/out [Express & Private]: The check-in was seamless, genuinely speedy, and it felt like I blinked and I was in my room. On the flip side, the check-out experience was equally swift. It's a big deal for a tired traveler like me. Check-in/out [private] is a nice touch.
- Car Park [Free of Charge]: Bless the free parking gods! In a city like Bogor, where parking resembles a gladiatorial combat arena, this is a HUGE win. Made my arrival stress-free.
- Facilities for disabled guests: I didn't personally need them, but it’s listed so can’t ignore it.
- Hotel Chain: Yup, it's a RedDoorz. You know what you're getting: clean, affordable, and functional. No complaints here.
Internet & Techy Things: Wi-Fi, Internet, and the Digital Dark Arts
- Internet Access: Yes, thank the Wi-Fi gods!
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: Yes, and it's (mostly) reliable. I managed to stream a couple of movies, so that's a win in my book.
- Internet [LAN]: In this day of Wi-Fi this is a bit old school, but I ain't complainin'
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Protected From Both Bugs and the Virus
Okay, this is where I got properly impressed.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: They actually smelled clean, which is always a good sign.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: You could see the effort. Like, people were actually working at keeping things clean!
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere. Bless them.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Felt safe and sanitized, which in today's climate, makes all the difference.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Yes, they were, and it showed.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Love the option!
- Safety/security features: Felt very safe, both inside and out.
Dining, Drinking, and Stuffing Your Face: A Culinary Adventure (Maybe)
- Restaurants, Coffee shop, Snack bar: Plenty of options. However, nothing overly gourmet, but perfectly adequate for a RedDoorz.
- Breakfast [buffet]: This is where I had a moment. The buffet was… well, let's just say it wasn't the Taj Mahal of breakfast buffets. However, it was comfy. I was able to get a decent plate of food and sit down for a good breakfast .
- Room service [24-hour]: Perfect for those midnight snack cravings!
- Bottle of water: Essential!
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: Yes, and that's all I need.
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: I didn't personally get to sample it, but I saw others enjoying it.
- Western cuisine in restaurant: Again, nothing that blew my mind. But totally edible!
Rooms: The Sweet Spot of Functionality and Maybe Some Comfort
- Air conditioning: Essential for Bogor's humidity.
- Blackout curtains: YES. Crucial for sleeping in.
- Free Wi-Fi: Of course.
- Bathroom: Private, and clean enough.
- Towels: Clean and fluffy enough.
- Air conditioning: Crucial.
- Complimentary tea/coffee: Little touches, but appreciated.
- Bed?: I have to say though, the bed was surprisingly comfortable. I slept like a log. A very happy, well-rested log.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day and So Much More!
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The pool looked lovely, though I didn't personally take a dip.
- Spa/Sauna: (spa, sauna, steamroom): Now, THIS is where it got interesting. I hit up the Spa for a massage. I was already feeling pretty tense (Bogor traffic will do that to ya!), and the masseuse worked some serious magic. I opted for the Bali massage, and whoa. Seriously, my shoulders are still thanking me. I felt like a new person after, utterly relaxed.. It was almost worth the trip just for that.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: I saw one, but didn’t actually use it because of the massage! However, they looked pretty basic.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Make Life Easier
- Concierge: Helpful staff who seemed genuinely happy to help.
- Laundry service: Because who wants to do laundry on vacation?
- Elevator: Essential.
- Daily housekeeping: Everything was tidy all the time.
- Cash withdrawal: Very handy.
For the Kids: Family Fun (Maybe)
- Family/child-friendly: Seemed like a great option for families due to all the pools.
Getting Around:
- Car park [on-site]: HUGE win.
- Taxi service: Yup.
- Airport transfer: Available - Bonus points for convenience.

Escape to Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa in Hua Hin Awaits!
Alright, strap in, because this ain’t your grandma’s meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… the story of me, RedDoorz @ Golden Averis Cibuluh, and Bogor, Indonesia. Let's just say, it wasn’t exactly a smooth ride. Or, you know, a ride at all. More like a slightly wobbly scooter navigating a pothole-pocked road.
Day 1: Arrival (and a near-death experience with a Nasi Goreng)
Morning (and a half): Landed in Jakarta. The humidity hit me like a wall. Instant frizz. Thought I’d packed light. Nope. Turns out, "light" is a relative term when you're sweating through a t-shirt before you even exit the airport. Scrambled for a taxi, got ripped off (probably), and finally, after battling traffic that would make a New Yorker weep, arrived at the blessed RedDoorz.
- First Impression: Ah. Golden Averis. "Golden" feels… aspirational. Averis… well, it’s a name. And the room? Okay, let's be honest, it's… a room. Clean, yes. Modern? Debatable. The air conditioning roared like a trapped beast. Found a cockroach. Didn't kill it. It stared back. We reached an understanding. Both of us were just trying to survive.
Afternoon: The Nasi Goreng Incident: Determined to embrace local cuisine, I ventured out. Found a little warung (food stall) down the road. Ordered Nasi Goreng. Looked delicious. Smelled divine. Took a bite. BAM! My tastebuds exploded. Not in a good way. Fire. Pure, unadulterated fire. Tears streamed down my face. I could feel the spice burning a hole in my soul. (Okay, dramatic, I know, but it was legitimately painful.) Chugged down a whole bottle of water, gasped for air, and swore off chili for the rest of my life. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t.)
Evening: Retreated to the room. Watched some Indonesian TV. Couldn’t understand a word, but enjoyed the vibrant chaos. Tried to connect to the Wi-Fi. Failed. Repeatedly. Gave up. Stared out the window at the hazy Bogor sunset. It was… pretty. Found a stray cat outside. It looked equally unimpressed with the world. We bonded. Briefly.
Day 2: Bogor Botanical Gardens (and the Mystery of the Disappearing Toilet Paper)
- Morning: Decided to conquer the Bogor Botanical Gardens. Huge mistake. Got lost. Twice. The sheer scale of the place is mind-boggling. Lush, beautiful, and utterly disorienting. Saw giant water lilies. Majestic trees. Monkeys. (The monkeys definitely knew what they were doing; I clearly did not.) Wandered for hours, sunburnt, and slightly delirious. Found a pond. Sat by it, wondering if I’d ever find my way out.
- Afternoon: Toilet Paper Tensions: Returned to RedDoorz. Needed to… well, you get the idea. Opened the bathroom door… And there was no toilet paper. None. Zero. Zilch. My heart sank. This, my friends, is a travel disaster. Called reception. Waited. The wait was excruciating. Finally, a kind soul brought me a fresh roll. But the lingering anxiety? That stayed. Is it a common thing? I still have no idea but, on this trip, every time I went to the bathroom I knew I was entering a high-stakes situation.
- Evening: Ate dinner at a restaurant that catered to tourists. (Safe choice, after the Nasi Goreng disaster.) The food was bland. The service was slow. But, hey, it had toilet paper. And I lived to tell the tale. Read a book. Tried (again) to connect to the Wi-Fi. Failed. Gave up. Slept.
Day 3: Waterfall Whispers and a Motorcycle Mishap
- Morning: Hired a driver to take me to Curug Cilember waterfall. (He drove a motorcycle. I sat in the back. It was terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time.) The waterfall was gorgeous. Mist, cool air, the sound of rushing water… It was everything I'd hoped for. Got slightly splashed, felt refreshed.
- The Road: And getting there was… another story. The roads were narrow, winding, and frequently missing chunks of asphalt. The driver, bless his heart, navigated them with the skill of a seasoned explorer. I clung on for dear life. I'm pretty sure I screamed a few times. At one point, we almost tipped over. My entire life flashed before my eyes. It involved significantly more food than I care to admit.
- Afternoon: Back to RedDoorz. Needed a nap. Slept for a solid three hours. Woke up feeling… strangely refreshed. Maybe it was the near-death experience on the motorcycle.
- Evening: Packed. Thought about the trip. Bogor. Golden Averis. The cockroaches. The Nasi Goreng. The waterfalls. The monkeys. The toilet paper. It was a chaotic, messy, occasionally frustrating, but ultimately unforgettable adventure. I'm still not sure if "Golden" is the right adjective for Golden Averis, but I guess I'm going to miss it. Ate my last Indonesian meal. This time, the spice level was acceptable.
Day 4: Departure (and a vow to learn some Indonesian)
- Morning: Said goodbye to Golden Averis (and the roach). Taxi back to Jakarta. Traffic. Airport. Plane. Goodbye, Indonesia.
- Final Thoughts: Bogor was beautiful. Challenging. Unpredictable. The RedDoorz @ Golden Averis Cibuluh? A solid, if unspectacular, base camp for my adventures. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I pack more toilet paper next time? You bet your sweet bippy I would. And next time, I’m definitely learning some Indonesian. So I can at least understand the warning signs before I swallow another chili bomb. Selamat tinggal, Bogor. You were something else.
RedDoorz Golden Averis Cibuluh Bogor: Your (Maybe) Unbeatable Guide!
Okay, spill it! Is this place actually good? I mean, *really* good?
Alright, alright, let's be real. "Unbeatable" is a strong word, but... look, for the price? Yeah, it's pretty darn good. Picture this: You're craving a weekend escape from Jakarta's chaos. Bogor's calling, and your wallet's whimpering. Golden Averis comes up, and you're like, "RedDoorz? Hmm..." Honestly, I was skeptical. I've had RedDoorz experiences ranging from "surprisingly decent" to "questionably haunted." This one? Leans towards the former. It's not the Ritz, okay? But it's clean, the staff are genuinely friendly (more on that later...), and the location... well, it's Bogor. What's not to like about Bogor?
One time I – and this is embarrassing – I actually booked it, thinking it was *inside* Bogor Botanical Gardens. Doh! Turned out it's not. But Hey, it's still pretty darn close to the action, like 15-20mins to Botani Square which is pretty fast!
The location? What's the actual *deal* with the location? Is it convenient or am I going to be stranded in the middle of nowhere?
Okay, so the location is… a mixed bag. Cibuluh itself isn't exactly a tourist hotspot. It's more… *local*. You'll see the real Bogor. Which, in my opinion, is GREAT. You avoid the crush of tourists and get a more authentic vibe. But, let's be honest, you're not exactly stumbling distance from the Bogor Palace. You'll need a Grab or Gojek, or the local angkot (public transport – be prepared for a bumpy ride!). The good news? Grabs are plentiful and cheap. The *very* good news? Loads of great local warungs (small restaurants) nearby. Some of the BEST *soto mie* I’ve ever had was literally around the corner. Trust me on this.
What about the rooms? Are they… *clean*? And what about the WiFi? (Gotta maintain my Insta-feed, you know…)
Clean? Surprisingly, yes! Look, I have high(ish) standards. Okay, let’s be brutally honest: I left a hotel in Bali once because of a cockroach. So, I'm a stickler. And I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are basic, but tidy. The bathroom was actually… usable. No mysterious stains, no questionable smells. The Air conditioning worked – a *huge* plus in Bogor's humidity. And the sheets felt clean which makes a huge difference. Now. The WiFi… Ah, the WiFi. It's…reliable. Mostly. Don’t expect lightning-fast speeds for streaming. It's good enough for basic browsing and, you know, *posting* your amazing Bogor adventures. (Just, maybe download that movie beforehand.)
What about the staff? Are they friendly? Helpful? Or just… *there*?
Honestly? The staff are a highlight. They're genuinely friendly and helpful. I had a *minor* issue with the TV (it kept changing channels). I called reception, expecting a shrug and an "It is what it is" attitude. Nope! Within minutes, a staff member was there fixing it. And smiling the whole time. They seemed genuinely interested in making sure I had a good stay. That level of service made a big difference. Once I needed to call a Grab and, it just would not friggin’ book! The staff helped me sort it out. They will ask if you need anything, and I felt like I could actually ask them questions! They seemed like they genuinely cared. I think that says a lot.
Breakfast? Is there breakfast? And is it any good? (I'm a breakfast person…)
Okay, so about the breakfast... It's... included. And it’s… well. Let’s just say it's not the reason you book the hotel. Picture this: Nasi goreng (fried rice), maybe some toast, some fruit (if you're lucky), and coffee that errs on the side of… weak. Don't get me wrong, it'll fill a hole. But it’s not a gourmet experience. My advice? If you're a serious breakfast person, explore the nearby warungs. Seriously, that *soto mie* I mentioned earlier? Go find it. It’s worth ditching the hotel breakfast for.
Okay, so... the cons? What's the catch? Is this place hiding something?
Alright, let's be fair. The downsides... The rooms are basic. Really basic. Don’t expect luxury. The walls might be a tad thin (I could slightly hear my neighbor’s… *coughing*. And it was loud!). And the breakfast, as we’ve discussed, isn’t winning any awards. The location, while close to some fabulous local food, isn't in the heart of the tourist action. And, I'll be perfectly honest, for a while the aircon wasn't working. But, as I mentioned, they fixed it fast! But overall? For the price, and what it's offering, I was pretty darn satisfied.
Would you recommend it? And, if you do, who is it *for*?
Yes, I would recommend it! But! Here's who it's for: Budget travelers. People who value cleanliness and practicality over lavishness. People who want a good base for exploring Bogor without breaking the bank. People who appreciate friendly staff. If you fit that description, then absolutely, book it! Don't expect the world, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you’re expecting a fancy hotel experience with room service and a pool... well, maybe look elsewhere. But for a clean, comfortable, and affordable stay, Golden Averis is a solid choice. I'd go again. And that, my friends, is the ultimate test.
