The experience was absolutely incredible with the gracious host and the friendly staff from the driver/tourguide to the Rosella staff. They made our stay unforgettable.

The service was exceptional & very personal. If you want to be at a quiet location this is great. The villa was clean & laundry was free. The host Frans & our guide/drivers advice helped made our trip planning easy. The view of the padi field right in front of our villa is spectacular.

The place is so quite in the rice fields. Frans and his staff are fantastic. So many tours to select. We enjoyed our stay.

One of the best stays we have ever experienced!!! Truely attentionate towards his guests, always trying to help and is understanding. We've never experienced anything like it and can only strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay in Yogyakarta! If you have been stressed out, tired and in need of a real holiday, this is the place to go!!!

Amazing staff. Frans is great and so is his team. One of the most accommodating places ive ever stayed at. They will organize and handle all of your touring of the surrounding area if you want (all at a great price). HIGHLY recommended you also eat at his restaurant (within walking distance).

It was very good stay. Frans who is the owner of Alamanda is very helpful. Overall it was a very nice trip for us.

Great setting, good view and somewhat rustic. The owner, Frans however is a modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He can be so accommodating and welcoming but then become unreasonable, loud and very rude and aggressive when he loses it even if it's his mistake. He forgot to send the driver to pick me up from the market and didn't respond to any messages so I had to get a cab. When I mentioned it on my return I was shouted at; taunted about my nationality; bodily directly by him and asked to leave the hotel immediately! This treatment of guests seems to be a regular occurrence which I had witnessed on previous days. They run a restaurant too, a stone's throw away with a limited menu but good food. Friendly and obliging staff which unfortunately do not make up for Frans' repugnant character. Thumbs down people. I've stayed in lots of hotels, from 1 to 5 stars, but never come come across someone like this. Travellers, please rethink your decision if you are considering this hotel.

There is nothing too difficult for host, Frans. The location is a two-edge sword - very peaceful, but remote from everything.

I stayed 2 nights. Owner Frans picked me up at 7:30am and I told my request and he gave suggestions. It was very good for me to decide my activities plan. Thus this villa's hospitality is amazing. I enjoyed day time activities for 3 days. And villa in the rice fileld is very nice and tranquil. Restaurant Rosella tastes good and the way to Rosella is a small adventurous and fantastic. If I have chance to revisit Yogyakarta, I will check this villa first.

When you stay at this property, you are getting a whole crew of people who will organize your trip (for a price). If you prefer to do things on your own, it might not be a good fit. The setting is very peaceful, but lots of bugs!

For the price you pay, this is pretty much AMAZING. place is beautiful, villas are rustic and charming...staff are friendly ..

The hotel located in peaceful rice field. You wake up with bright sun light, opening windows and door to find farmers doing farmwork in the field around.This is a place of humanity, perfect place for mind fulness. Especially recommended for busy metropolis residents. The owner Frans and all local staffs are very kind and always attentive to each one of their guest. Special thanks to kind and cute Nanik! I'll definitely be back.

This is a great villa with wonderful staff. They really take care of you and offer affordable trips throughout the region. They have free airport pickup and dropoff, breakfast and lunch included, and a great dining option for dinner nearby. All of the tour guides are very knowledgeable, friendly, and speak fluent English. The owner, Franz, is a sweet soul, and personally helped me out with many things, including trying to get my camera fixed by taking it to the shop and buy me super glue. He send me home with some really nice hibiscus tea, and provided me with the most amazing tours you could ask for. A truly fantastic experience with him and his helpful staff. The area is close to the city but feels remote with its own gardens and ricefields. I really loved it here. Great ambiance! As good as it gets.

A perfect start to our Indonesian holiday. The proprietor, Frans, was extremely helpful and knowledgable, the staff great, the hospitality and accommodation amazing. Close to the city but rural and unique. A wide range of local tours are run at very good prices and any shuttling around to different restaurants or locations is accommodated. Very highly recommended.

Stunning and relaxing property set amongst the backdrop of paddy fields away from the hustle and bustle.Sit in your veranda and relax watching the fish bob in the large pond or see the fireflies dance over the paddy fields at night.Frans, Mohammed and the rest of the team make you feel like welcomed friends and do their utmost to make rite stay special.The place itself is stunning, authentic and peaceful and what you crave from Asia and from a visit to this party liar region.The guys did their utmost to make my stay special, interesting and engaging and organised all my trips. I would recommend Prambanan at sunset and Borobudur at sunrise.We drove past other places/ hotels on our trip and I felt very smug that I had chosen the best!Enjoy dining at Rosella too...scrumptious!A beautiful place that I would highly recommend!

A brilliant stay in somebody's 'large' home. We were looked after from the moment we landed at the local airport to the moment we flew out and really could not ask for more. The owner is very hands on while the staff are great. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the location is good just outside the city. The owner also provides a thick manual advising of all the tours and trips available. There is so much to do. Highly recommended.
