Sauna Der Wellnessbereich ist von 15:00 bis 20:00 Uhr geöffnet. Bitte beachten Sie, dass in der Sauna aus hygienischen Gründen keine Badebekleidung getragen wird. Bademäntel und Saunatücher liegen in Ihrem Zimmer bereit.

Translation (English):

Breakfast Our breakfast buffet is served every day from 7:30 to 10:00 am in the Stone Pine Room. Most of what you'll find on it comes from farms in the local area. If you have any food intolerances, just let us know the evening before.

Sauna The spa area is open from 3:00 to 8:00 pm. Please note that, as is customary in Germany, swimwear is not worn in the sauna for reasons of hygiene. You'll find bathrobes and sauna towels ready in your room.

Check-out Please vacate your room by 10:30 am on the day of departure. Late check-out until 2:00 pm is available for an extra €25, subject to availability.

Translator's notes

  • Zirbenstube — kept as a room name, translated as "Stone Pine Room" so guests can find it on signs that also show the English name
  • Sauna rule — added "as is customary in Germany": without it, many English-speaking guests read the rule as unusual or a mistake
  • Times — switched to 12-hour format with am/pm for the target audience; euro prices left unchanged

About this service

We translate between English and Indonesian and set the tone first: formal "Anda" for official, banking and B2B texts, or the relaxed "kamu" that many apps and lifestyle brands use. We keep the text in Indonesian and never mix in Malaysian Malay words, which look out of place to readers in Jakarta. Spelling follows the official Indonesian standard, and loanwords are written in their Indonesian form where one exists.

Questions and answers

Is this a certified translation?

No. You get an accurate working translation without a stamp or certificate.

Will it also work for Malaysia?

Readers in Malaysia will understand it, but some words differ. For a Malaysian audience, ask for Malay instead.

Can you mix in English like Jakarta brands do?

Yes, if that is your brand voice. Tell us in the brief and we keep a light mix.

I already have a translation. Can you just fix it?

Yes, choose Premium and paste or attach both texts. We edit against the original and note the main changes.
