Contact Villa Tanen — WhatsApp, email or a one-minute enquiry

No call centre, no ticket number, no queue. Whichever you pick — WhatsApp, the short form or plain email — your message lands straight with us, and a real person writes back.

Go with whatever feels easiest; all three reach the very same people. And you're dealing with the owner directly: you book straight through, with no one in between, which lands you the keenest price. Already sure? Take a look at availability and dates right now.

WhatsApp — the fast lane

A personal reply from a real person — and WhatsApp is usually the quickest of the three.

One tap and you're in the conversation. This message is ready to go:

"Hi Villa Tanen! We're thinking about a stay and have a question:"
(ready to send — type your question underneath and hit send)

WhatsApp us

Email — prefer a good old email? Gladly.

info@villatanen.com

Include your dates and group size if you know them — so our first reply can cover everything at once. You'll hear back from us personally by email as well, every bit as attentive as in the chat itself.

Looking for a quick answer? Chances are your question is already covered: our FAQ has rates, rooms, arrival and the area all in one place.

The short form — done in a minute

Already know your dates and group size? Use the same short form as on our booking page — we'll take it from there.

Takes a minute — we'll handle the rest.

Give us an email address or a WhatsApp number — either one is fine.

Pre-filled if you chose dates on the calendar

Prefer an answer right away? WhatsApp us — you'll be straight into the conversation.

The moment you hit send, you'll see exactly when to expect your reply — and what happens next.

Who replies — and how fast?

You'll usually hear back within a few hours, always within 24 — and the owner replies personally. Your message is read and answered by the owner themselves, not by a chatbot or an agency. In English or Dutch, whichever you prefer.

Message us while we're asleep? You'll get an automatic note telling you when to expect your reply — we never leave you hanging.

Ready to book? You can do it right there in the chat — or check availability and dates first.

Already booked? Then this line is yours too

The moment you book, this contact channel becomes your personal travel line — same WhatsApp thread, same people. There's nothing you need to do; we'll pop up at exactly the right moments:

  • About 7 days before arrival we ask whether you'd like to climb Borobudur — tickets for the temple climb must be booked 3–7 days ahead, and we arrange them for you.
  • 3 days before arrival you get the official link for the free arrival card, plus a quick final check (passport? e-VOA?).
  • Just before you land, your arrival confirmation comes through with route and transfer details and your private guest link.

And during your stay? The staff are on site around the clock — but this line keeps working too: dinner in the garden, tomorrow's driver, a jeep across the lava fields. One message and it's arranged.
