Welcome to our Guest House in Jakarta....more than a Bed & Breakfast!

The Maritim Guest House in Jakarta is operated by a hotelier from the USA, Don, with his Indonesian wife, Ita.  Whether it is a guest house or bed & breakfast inn, we can confidently say we are one of the best in Jakarta.  We are fortunate to have appreciative guests who have shared wonderful remarks about our guest house, please scroll down on this page to view their comments.  We not so humbly state, why stay anywhere else, especially in South Jakarta? For the full package we offer, we are more than half the price of our nearby competitor, Hotel Kristal.   

Relax in one of our eight comfortable bedrooms with views of tropical gardens within our secure walled compound. Our guest house is a well maintained single story establishment. After a long day of travel or work, there is no need to deal with steps to an upper story bedroom.


The room rate includes complimentary breakfast every morning as well as one other meal, lunch or dinner, therefore taking the worry from your day regarding where and what to eat. We would like you to experience Indonesian food and so it is offered, cooked in a healthier way with minimal oil. If Indonesian food is not to your liking, we can prepare you Mediterranean pasta, for example. 


We are located in South Jakarta off of busy Jalan (Avenue) Fatmawati. Our staff can assist in obtaining one of the many taxis for you. Jalan Fatmawati and  nearby Jalan Cipete Raya have casual eateries, grocery stores, fruit stands, and pharmacies. Our location is ten minutes equal distance away by taxi to Cilandak Town Square Mall and Pondok Indah Mall where finer restaurants and cafes as well as the usual fast food outlets abound. TB Simpatupang business district  is ten minutes away. We are a two minute walk from Wisma Subud and The British Institute. The Jakarta International School is five minutes away by car.


For the comfort and safety of all guests, our guest house is a non-smoking establishment. Smoking is only allowed outdoors on our front terrace or in the garden area.

We look forward to having you as our guest at The Maritim Guest House.

“Home away from home in Jakarta”

Reviewed on TripAdvisor 29 April 2012
"After a lot of search on the internet for a clean, affordable, serene, safe place to live in Jakarta found Maritim Guest House (MGH) and what a find it was. A place which originally was planned to be a stay for 10 nights turned out to be my home away from home in Jakarta for 7 months. My room had everything that I could expect as a working professional to have a place to stay - blazing fast wireless internet connection, big king size bed, study table, TV with many international channels and also the HBO channels for the latest movies, small refrigerator, clean big bathroom/toilet with hot water all the time, excellent laundry service. Outside the room the security was amazing with rule of friends not allowed on the property working well to maintain good security. Breakfast menu - scrambled eggs, breads baked inhouse, muffins, cookies baked in house, fresh fruits from garden on the property. Lunch/dinner - organic red/brown rice, vegetables, fresh meats from the best suppliers and off course free flow of tea, coffee from countries like Malaysia, China, India and off course the local Javanese. Staff - local and trained by very experienced hotelier from USA blending east-west service style and giving a proffessional service along with the uniqueness of Indonesian culture and mannerism, very friendly, many could speak in very good English and very proactive/preemptive actions to make you comfortable." K. Patel from Pune, India

"I found MGH quite by accident when I was looking for a decent place to stay while on business in the Jakarta Selatan district. The experience exceeded my expectations - the privacy, clean bedrooms and bathrooms, homely environment, good service and hospitality of the owners and staff. I was most surprised by the hearty breakfasts, and unlike many other places, I got to choose another main meal as part of the package - what a great deal! Not just any meal, but tasty, nutritiously prepared food. After long days out in the city battling traffic, it's good to get home to MGH. Now, even as I am needed in other parts of Jakarta, I keep going back to stay at MGH, Jakarta's best kept secret."   A recent review for us at TripAdvisor

"I would wholeheartedly recommend the Maritim Guest House to anyone wishing to visit Cilandak. The accommodation was spot on and the staff consistently went out of their way to make me feel at home. Not being familiar with the area, they were most helpful in providing directions and anticipating my needs. The highlight for me was the wonderful meals - felt like I was having a home cooked dinner every night! Keep the good work up. Look forward to staying with you again."  Ken - Melbourne, Australia 

"I stayed at Maritim Guest House in the middle of 2011. I found the staff very welcoming and helpful. My room was spotless, the wifi is great and the food is delicious and made with love. It was hard to believe I was staying so close to a very busy area, felt very relaxed, I hope to stay again in the future".  
Ms. Lucinda - Australia 

"It was a wonderful stay. You and Ita run a warm and friendly place. We look forward to more of such when we next come to JKT and have to be in the Cilandak area".  Ms. Lai Yee - Malaysia 


"I would highly recommend staying at the Maritim Guest House. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is excellent. There is a nice garden to sit in and enjoy. Don, Ita and the staff are all wonderful hosts - helpful, friendly, nice people. I really enjoyed my stay .... did I mention the food was good.... :)"

Julia from New Zealand said...
It was a very enjoyable stay in the Maritim. I can recommend this guesthouse, very clean, comfortable and modern, and the food really special. Best home-baked muffins and bagels I've ever had in a hotel or guesthouse, and choice of American or Indonesian home cooking. We had breakfast and lunch or dinner and the meals were beautifully presented, everything fresh and home-made. This friendly guesthouse was quite a find in crowded Jakarta, and we were really well looked after, thanks Don and Ita

Ms. Rachel from The Netherlands:
The MARITIM Guesthouse is a beautiful, safe & quiet oasis in pretty much downtown hectic, polluted Jakarta.

Feeling honored to be the first official guest; I got a nice & comfortable room with all facilities with a hygienic clean, well designed bathroom and felt instantly at home. The gentle staff surrounded me with pleasant attention, and the cook produced every day delicious food using ingredients from the organic garden of the territory. She made very exclusive jams, muffins, fresh fruits for breakfast and always asked me what I wished for dinner, I most appreciated her flavoring Indonesian dishes. The food was really good, excellent tea, good coffee, organic ice-cream and cookies! Fantastic.

When I returned tired after a trip, the guards always recognized me and immediately the gate was opened, I felt protected.

I enjoyed to have conversations with Don, the thoughtful owner, and his wife and thus got useful tips about the must-sees and inside-outs of the metropolis. I felt terribly spoilt with care.


I thank both for their tremendous efforts to grant me a pleasant stay. I will come back and then want to relax on the new terrace viewing the garden.


Hartelijk dank voor alles, Rachel

Improvements....an eternal effort

Continued improvements are being made to our guest house operation and facility.  We remain alert.  Our operation may not be perfection although we hope our guests think it is and that any, hopefully, minor imperfections every hospitality operation has does not negatively redefine our guest's stay.  We are doing our best to make our guest house a pleasant place to stay where culinary offerings may be enjoyed, a good night's rest may be had, and a friendly smile may be seen.  We hope our guests will positively view our efforts.  Thank you!

A Green Oasis In The City

Our small conservation efforts to preserve a green zone in Jakarta with our grove of trees!  

Nephelium Lappaceum aka Rambutan 

Our open space with large mature trees is a relative rarity in Jakarta.  Many tell us to cut the trees and develop our valuable open space but we are trying our best to save this small oasis of greenery. 

We would like to continue to grow organic vegetables in our open space and offer them when possible in meals at our guest house.  Enjoy our property, our gardens, meals,  and of course, our beautiful trees.
