unexpectedly fantastic, warm stay, good people”

I loved my stay at Shangrila Villa. When booking, I had no idea how far it actually was from the city of Yogyakarta (about 24km) and without transport or knowing how to drive, at first i felt lost. But the staff directed me toward public transportation and offered to drive me to the local village of Pakem for free. It was a good cultural experience, and while tiring to get in and out of town, it gave me a richer experience than had I stayed in the city. The area surrounding Shangrila is beautiful, in the shadow of Mount Merapi, an active volcano. I met someone at the hotel who drove me around the area and showed me these old caves carved out by the Japanese during WWII. Another family offered to drive me into the city and we had a good time doing touristy things together. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed talking to them and I left understanding quiet a bit about everyday life in Indonesia. The location is a bit of a hassle if you don't have a car, but doable, and with a warm staff, nice room, and interesting surroundings, I think it's a great place to stay.

nice small hotel, value for money”

I booked a standard room for one night only. The hotel is nice, located 22 km from Yogyakarta. It is located near Kaliurang at the slope of Mt.Merapi, so the air is cool and fresh. Transportation after 6 pm will be a problem if you do not bring your own vehicle. The standard room is very small, but is quite clean. The basic toilettries are provided. The staff are very nice and helpful. The breakfast is modest, they serve fried rice delivered to your room. For this price, I would recommend it to anyone that is not into nightlife and prefer quiet moment of rest.

good but poor hot water”

The hotel was great except hot water problem. You have to let them know before taking a shower and they will fire up their wooden fuel hot water system. It take ages to heat up. I waited for an hour and it was not quite hot (even warm) yet. Other than that it's a great and clean hotel with friendly staff that you will enjoy staying at. bear in mind that it's also a bit far from the city centre. But the sceneries around it is quite nice it you hire a bike and go for a ride around the farms which are not in the main road.

3 rooms villa ”

An average villa with nature surrounding. Worth to stay = to money paid. Big bathroom with bath tub. But have to ask for hot water if not you will shower with very very cold water.

NIce atmosphere”

The staff is very accomodating to our needs. They even prepared an early breakfast for us at 5am when we have to check out. The atmosphere is relaxed and makes you just focus on nature. My family have fun in this hotel. The bed sheets smells nice and comfortable. There is hot water available.

Great Location & Great Value Hotel”

great location and value...service with smile and helpful ! the only things need to improved are hot water and food !!

Above average”

I upgrade my booking to family room，there're 3 beds but just 1 bed have blanket when i ask to have more blankets,the ob said cannot, when i ask to have another towel, also cannot. The worst is the water not flow! First i still can take shower but then no water at all, my son take shower to another room. The recepsionist girl said, the technician will come but till morning

Nice customer service n good location also”

Its a good place to stay and still good to bring child also... But d family room is very close with regular room n it feels lik bit noisy..

Warm Place With Bad Water Suply”

Maybe this hotel can be a favorite hotel if the hot water suplay and water capacity for shower is good.

Lovely place to stayl and service with a smile.”

The Only comment we could give is the Bathroom's space are to narrow/small make it hardly to move inside.

It was not so good . No English speaking staff , staff is confused whenever we ask for anything . Town is very very far from this place , at least 20 km .

静かな場所にある涼しいホテルだが”

カリウラン通り２２KMにあり、大変街から離れている。エアコンが要らないくらい涼しいが、ジョグジャの街へ行くには大変時間がかかる。朝９時にホテルの無料送迎車が街まで連れて行ってくれるが、３時間前までの予約が必要で前日の夜には予約をしないと乗れない。料金を払えばいつでも乗せて行ってくれるが、１０万ルピアかかる。流しのタクシーが走っているところではないので、タクシーを呼ぶと少なくとも２０分は待つ。帰りは街でタクシーを拾って戻るが、７万ルピアくらいかかる。高原でのんびり過ごすには良いだろう。 インドネシア式のホテルでは良いホテルだが、日本人の基準で言うと良くは無い。何回もインドネシアに行っている慣れた旅行者には耐えられるが、初めてインドネシアへ行く旅行者にはお勧めしない。ホットシャワーは冷たいか熱すぎるし、トイレも壊れてる。テレビもPANASONICがあるが傾いている。 朝食は豪華だが、とても塩辛い。でも、従業員が朝早いチェックアウトの私のためにパジャマ姿で料理を作ってくれたから、ありがたかった。
