So serene. Arum villa was out standing. Beautiful touches with fruit basket and chocolate on arrival. Free afternoon tea too !Coffee and village tour highly recommend plus complimentary yoga and activities. Plus a photo shoot 😁 Restaurant superb. All the food we had was delicious . Spa treatments amazing. Staff fantastic. What more can we say…..

The new "bar" area organised at the edge of the resort is nice, but the roads next to it are getting busier and noisier (you cannot see them, but you can hear the traffic), which spoils a bit the eternal quiet of the jungle.

This is our second time, a returning guests. It is a unique gem of traditional Java style houses, a picture postcard perfect gardens looking in every direction, a view of active volcanoes.

Incredible unique hotel in Java center . Beautiful buildings , facilities ( from traditional pool gym spa to a reflexology walk in the park or the visit of the coffee plantation which produces Robusta coffee ) . The grounds are 11 ha of hotel facilities and 11 ha of plantation

The only suggestion I would make is to maintain the gym area a little bit more, with closed windows to avoid mosquitos, and the swimming pool area with maybe an updated filtration system, as the water doesn't look very inviting to swim.

We loved everything about our stay. The room, the lovely staff, the excellent food, afternoon tea and snacks on the veranda of the clubhouse, drinks in the plantation lounge with the pool table, the fantastic spa and the beautiful grounds were perfect.

Nothing!

To be honest everything was totally perfect at this resort. We were in awe of the location, its accommodations and rooms when we arrived. The personnel was very helpful and they wanted to make us feel at home. The yoga in the morning and breakfast were a very good way to start our day. The tour over the coffee plantation was also super interesting, thank you again Lily! And during dinner you should really try out the chef’s specials!

Small portions. We ordered pizza for 150k and got just almost nothing. Its not the level of 5 star hotel.

We love everything about the hotel. The facility was great. The room was amazing. The staff were kind and helpful. The food was delicious, especially the duck sambal ijo ! We had amazing stay in Mesastila. The resort is really into our liking, peaceful, and private. We would like to come back in the future.

A beautiful property with gorgeous, mature gardens full of plants and trees unknown to us in the USA. Very much appreciated the traditional Javanese furnishings, large rooms and great views (a treat after several days in nice, but could-be-anywhere, modern hotels). Enjoyed walking the grounds of Mesa Stila and also the paths into nearby towns where we saw sights and ways of life most tourists don't get to see. Mesa Stila provided us a guide who took us on a long walk to a waterfall, exploring gorgeous rice paddies and other agricultural features as we strolled, and also saying hello to villagers who welcomed us and smiled for photos. Meals at Mesa Stila were very, very good. Service from staff was excellent. We received great massages at the handsome spa that opens out on to the jungle. Enjoyed just sitting quietly and looking at the surrounding mountains. We recommend this place and will return.

The only down side for us was the beds in our villa, which were a little firm, and the pillows which were too soft.

Spacious villas set in an peaceful cool mountain setting with plentiful birds and wildlife. We loved the beautiful old colonial style buildings. The resort offers excellent daily activities including yoga. The food was outstanding and served in delightful surroundings by staff that were incredibly friendly. The chefs are excellent. Jamu was I included on the breakfast menu for free. Afternoon tea served in the pool room and deck was generous and unique every day. Special mention must be made of the spa and massage facility which was of a standard unequalled.

Indonesian mosques are a nationwide noise problem

We liked everything about Mesa Stila. It's off the main tourist track and it's worth making the effort to get there.

MesaStila is a beautiful and very special place to stay. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I can only recommend to visit and enjoy the area.

The property was expansive enough that it gave all the guests their own space even when they are in the common areas.

It’s not always first Come first serve, the staff make us wait for foreign guest and make us serve behind, even we come first, we sad maybe because we are local. Really bad first impression, first time happen to me in 5 stars resort. We book arum villa , and we get plantation villa according a photo On booking.com. We complained and then get the right one like on the photo you put on Booking.com Please Mesastila Reservation team check again Photo in every OTA photo, The View only have mountain on arum villa (no others ) and Bathroom photo before only have mezzanine bathtub. Open your extranet and checklist the right one Open your chanel manager make more option room and choose right photo.

The place was great, the Villa clean and the nature atmosphere really amazing. I just wanna get my instant noodles and eat on their balcony. The Gardener,and bogey driver was nice.

we wanted to explore mt telomoyo,but the resort price is too high. taking too much profit. cost for telomoyo jeep is IDR 400-700 k. with car transport may be add idr 350 k. but mesa stila charge more than Idr 2 million. wifi is also not working in the room with the high room rate n green initiative and location far from convenience stores, there should provide water dispenser/ water jug. they only provide 2 plastic bottle of water.

room is huge. I chose mesa stila due to to its role as race village for mesa stila race.

Noisy - traffic noise from the main road, the music carried up from the local village, (as well as many muezzins). On our second night a large group staying held a karaoke party in the outdoor dining area with a live band and huge speakers. It boomed across the entire resort including inside our room. After a couple of hours a staff member finally agreed to contact the manager. He promised to stop the event, then kept telling us “this is the last song” - it was all nonsense. If you’re looking for a peaceful hotel which shows any consideration for or respect to their guests, avoid.

Spa and food in restaurant were good. Visit for those and avoid staying here and you’ll be fine.

very remote and pretty long drives to see anything. Mr & Mrs Smith website implies near Yogyakarta- it’s not. room I stayed in was shabby, peeling paint everywhere, lighting too poor to read. corners of the room ( where you need to reach an electrical socket) dirty. very very buggy. I can understand why you don’t want to fog the beautiful grounds but the rooms need daily fogging.

beautiful views, beautiful pool, spa and common areas

Front office staff and hotel manager had a bad attitude problem. Despite the IDR 10m we spent for one night’s food, accommodation and tips, it felt like staying in a hostel with their inflexible rules and truculent attitude. Then the sting in the tail was an IDR 50,000 breakage charge for one small, ordinary glass tumbler in the room. This despite the fact we left an IDR 100,000 tip for housekeeping in the room next to the broken glass. But ignoring this (and many other) tips we distributed while staying at the property, it is just beyond belief that a hotel of this category and in this price bracket would choose to levy breakage charges for minor glassware or crockery. I can’t see how we or any other guests would ever want to return to this hotel again.

Outstanding F&B quality in the Java Red restaurant. Lovely view and evocative plantation buildings. Nice pool.
