Pullman Ciawi Vimala Hills Resort
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a 5-star resort stay in a green setting outside Bogor, with spa, pool and free parking, and you have a car or plan to use taxis. Skip it if you mainly want to see central Bogor or if price matters more than the resort feel.

This is our Luxury pick for Bogor and the only 5-star hotel among our three choices. Guests give it 8.7 out of 10 from 380 reviews, the largest review base of the three.
It suits couples and families looking for a resort break, and people driving down from Jakarta. Guests describe a lush, green environment that is reached via the toll road and is close to Jakarta.
It is the wrong choice for a city break on foot. The main Bogor sights are more than 10 km away. It is also the most expensive of our picks by a wide margin, and our Best Value pick actually scores higher.
Location and getting around
The resort sits in Megamendung, at Jl Puncak Raya Simpang Gadog. Straight-line estimates put the Bogor Zoology Museum at 10.3 km, and both Bogor Botanical Gardens and Bogor Palace at 10.7 km. Walking would take around 129 to 134 minutes each way.
That is far. Plan on public transport or a taxi for any trip into Bogor. Free parking is listed, which helps if you arrive by car. The location score is 8.7 out of 10.
What guests say
Staff come up often in reviews. Guests describe a friendly, helpful and attentive team that gives a warm welcome.
The setting is the other repeated positive: green surroundings with easy access by toll road from Jakarta.
Breakfast gets mixed comments. Guests note an extensive spread with local options, but some say certain dishes lack flavour. If breakfast matters to you, read the latest reviews on that point.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €120.53 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is not a live quote; check today's price for your dates. The Bogor sample median was €45.16 per night, so this costs well over twice the typical hotel in our sample.
Our Budget pick, ibis Styles Bogor Pajajaran, was €32.23 per night with 3 stars and an 8.4 score. Our Best Value pick, HARRIS Hotel & Convention Cibinong City Mall Bogor, was €51.58 per night with 4 stars and a 9.4 score.
So the extra money buys the fifth star, the resort setting and the listed spa, garden and terrace, not a higher guest score. Breakfast is listed as a buffet; whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
