Thank you for your review. First of all, We are a guesthouse not a hotel. So, you made high expectations for this misperception. From 2 rooms, nowadays we added TV, Air Conditioner, and water heater in all rooms. Those are a big upgrade for us as a guesthouse. And we still applied a good deal, even for weekend. You stayed for 2 nights but never communicate directly with us about your complain. So, we can not fixed your problem recently. Once again, our accommodation is only for special guests who looking for "village" nuances, calm, talking with local people, close to the nature. Thank you.

Traditional experience in an Indonesian village
Very pleasant village atmosphere in Mettaloka guesthouse, delicious food, a lot of kindness. Enjoyed using a rented bike to explore the area. Would come again with great pleasure.

Very homely feel and attentive host
Great stay. Situated in the scenic country side. The Borobodur temple is a mere 10 minute bike ride away. Noni helped us organise transport to our excursions. All in all a great experience.

A serene getaway among the hills and paddy fields
We stayed in Mettaloka for two nights, and it was a peaceful, serene and basic getaway. The air was pure and the natural environment beautiful. It is the place for a no-frills environmentally friendly getaway.

My second home
I enjoy staying here because of the wonderful family atmosphere, i have a beautiful view of the country side. I am with nature for those who loves to be in the country and experience the real javanese family.whatever that was not up to my expectation is offset by the most helpful staff, host and hostess. I love their homecook food , the wonderful garden right at my doorsteps.the peaceful serene enviroment..I have problem with banking and the family chip in to help me out and took me around to seek out banks for help., i am very grateful. how wonderful that is.they take care of me very very well.

Faultless
Absolutely loved this place! So beautiful and not far from the temple. Would suggest a tuktuk rather than walking though as even in the morning it's pretty hot. Aside from the need for air con, cannot fault this place at all. One of our favourite hotels so far on our trip!
Response from Noni on 19 Jul 2016
Hi Amber, Thank you for staying in our guest house. It's our pleasure making your holiday unforgetable. We will be glad to host you again. And we also have two rooms with air conditioner now. Have a great time.

Guest House close to Borobudur
Excellent experience at Mettaloka Guest House, so much so that I stayed an extra 2 nights having originally booked in for a week. Noni, who manages Mettaloka, is very kind and helpful, and happily caters for vegetarians - I very much enjoyed the Indonesian breakfasts, overlooking the garden. A 20 minute walk takes one directly to the main Borobudur monument. Longer detours take one through the countryside, along country lanes. Noni can arrange guided bicycle tours, and took another guest and myself to visit a nearby school of classical Javanese dance (delightful!).

Dear Desmond, Thank you for staying and writing your experiences in here. We are very glad can give you beautiful memories. We miss our meditation session and chit chat while breakfast. We looking forward to host you again. Take care. Warmly,

Five geckos in the room, plenty of ants and mosquitoes in the room. It is because there are holes in the room. There is no toilet paper and water. There was a local restaurant near and was delicious. I am having breakfast from now, so I do not know yet other things.

Hi guest, You didn't write your name so we can not response to your complain. Beside, there were no complain about animals and toilet paper and water during stay. If you made a complain directly during your stay, we can manage the problems quickly also upgrade your room if necessary. Need more toilet paper, it's very easy, ask us for another toilet paper, 5 minutes the problems done. Next time, first please communicate with us than write a bad review. Thank you.
