Please format your code in a readable fashion.
I'm not sure why the f has a down stem, but the following seems to fix
it:

\version "2.8.1"
\relative c' {
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  << 
    \new Voice { 
      \voiceOne f2 g | r2 f \stemNeutral 
    }
    \new Voice { 
      \voiceTwo es4( des) f( e!) | bes4( a ~ \hideNotes a2) \unHideNotes 
    }
    \new Voice { 
      \voiceThree s1 | c2 ~ \voiceTwo <c a> 
    } 
  >>
}
