Homestays in Pahang, Malaysia

The location is good, very close to the Twin Towers and the administrative center. The service is considerate and the front desk is polite. Although the hotel is not big and there are not many rooms, the price is affordable, which is the price of small hotels in China.

Because of the fatigue of Trans Jasper hiking, also exposed to traffic congestion we chose to stay 1 more night. Tanah Rata to Kea Farm, Brinchang which should take only 15-20 minutes but becomes 2 hours. We went to Tanah Rata Night Market. ***One of the best efforts for chalet owners who use the existing space by producing a compact chalet with complete equipment. A cute chalet that only uses a queen size mattress, is equipped with a television, light suis, 3 sockets. Outside there is a shoe locker that has been provided with a toilet. Next to the chalet there is also a luggage/bag storage locker. Separate women and men's toilets. What I admire the most is that there are male and female surau separately as well. If you want to save money or stop by just to sleep for a while, you can stay here. If you want more comfort, you can book a room. The location is not far from Kea Farm Morning Market, there are also other interesting places. RECOMMENDED!***

Arrived at the guesthouse for check in quite late at mid nite. Booked for 2 rooms and requested for side-by-side rooms or very near to each other. At 1st they wanted to allocate at 2 different places which I declined. Finally, only given rooms facing slightly each other. Was informed beforehand that water heater in one of the rooms does not work, so…have to accept since we have no other choice. Have to enter different entrance from the reception area to get to our rooms as this place is of shoplots building. No lifts & have to walk up the staircase which is also not clean properly. Rooms condition are bad & not clean properly. Curtain and it’s railing are about to collapse! Linens & bedsheets have visible stains with a few ink/pen scratches on a few spots. Towels are faded with a few have holes on them. Phones in the room didn’t work or no connection to reception when tried to complain. As we are tired and lazy to go down to reception, we tried calling the reception many times using own phone but nobody bothers to pick up. At last, we use the towel and our own shirts as linen to cover the dirty linen. Lock (inside & outside) at toilet Door is broken & main entrance door only use the doorknob lock in one of the rooms. Leakage on the bottom part of the sink. Found left over rubbish in plastic bag from previous tenant(?) maybe behind the bedside table. What a mess we are in! Rooms equipped with TV but only a few channels are accessible. No fridge, provide with jug ( but you have to go down to pantry area located next to reception to get hot water) & 2 mugs. No tea/coffee/sugar & mugs have lipstick stain on them. Wifi service is stated as available but you can’t get connection from the rooms area actually…so don’t bother & dont waste time trying to get the connection. Will not stay at any of the Sun Inns chain in future.

The rooms was good, tidy and clean, for parking you can parking anywhere as long as not blocking gate house people. Remember to chat owner first before come, because checkin need time to reply.

Easiest way to check in without any interaction with front desk. Limited parking space but sufficient during peak period just don't forget to put your name card on the dashboard.

The location is halfway up the mountain, empty ‵ Qi fresh, I like the decoration design in the homestay very beautiful, very new, there is a fairytale feeling, the photo looks beautiful, except for the narrow room space, other equipment is very satisfied.

Wonderful hospitality. Met Mr. Bala. Kind compassionate elderly man. Treated us with special masala tea for my wife and I, and hot milo for my children - at no additional charge. Beautiful view and environment. Excellent food. We enjoyed breakfast, and the candle light dinner. We had to split a spaghetti meal for my two small kids. But the the ”split” meal came as if they were 2 individual meals - the portion was considerably large. Compassionate people. They are not particularly calculative about this. In fact they are very generous and accommodating. The place may seem eerie, the 2-storey chalet a little run down with little sound proofing - you can hear next door conversations. Besides that, this place is so quite, you will notice the buzz in your ears are so loud, it is surreal. Unlike smokehouse hotel and restaurant in tanah rata, Bala's is a wonderful and lasting memory.

The price/performance ratio is too low. After that, I know that I have to charge 20 MYR for foreign consumers. Secondly, there is no hair dryer in the room? Amazing. The room still has a taste, the only advantage may be that the service attitude is OK, the breakfast is very rich and the price is not high, this is very much like. If you are away from the station, you can't say it is very close. It takes 15 minutes to 20 minutes to get there. Overall, it's okay, but the price is not worth it.

If you can easily doze off, then the bedding is of great quality. The feel of a proper 4 star hotel room, with very decent smell, the room was highly satisfactory for a solo trip on business. Con. (1) Makan (meal) a bit susah (difficult). But having said that, the closest kopitiam hardly 2 kms away, Kemaman Kopitiam. (2) suburb Pros. (1) Nice room. (2) Easy to get in and out - Parking is like at your own house (except you have to be a bit patient if there's another car in the way).

Very clean. Neat and tidy. Feel like home. Surround with nature. Wifi available.

Nice!! The place are way better than most hotels at its price range. Recommended.

Although a little on the pricey side per night rate, my fmly and I overall enjoyed our 2 night stay at The Colony. I was pleasantly surprised how clean and new looking this place was. Not run down at all despite having opened for about 5 years now I think. Very well maintained which made our stay very comfortable. We like how industrial and modern looking this whole place is. Water pressure in the bathroom was good, bed linen was clean, amenities were well replenished, swimming pool was rather small but clean and decent enough to keep the kids happy. One thing weird though was that we were given 2019 dated green tea sachet but it’s already 2022 now. Receptionist said it’s actually the date of manufacturing rather than the expiry date but we didn’t want to take the risk so we didn’t consume it. And the amount of soap and shampoo given were probably too little in small slim bottles. Bathroom was a little clogged after our shower. But everything else were fine and nice. I guess the sound proof was alright as there was no noisy disturbances from other rooms. So we had uninterrupted sleep. This guesthouse has two storeys with 8 rooms in total. 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom. All in all thumbs up and if given the chance and having to travel to Kuantan again we would be more than happy to be back here to stay.

Looks nice on the outside but lack cleanliness in the inside. Great location as it's situated in the town center with highly accessible to malls & restaurants. Interior design were modern & rustic, nice but overly rustic over time as deco were old & filled with spider cobwebs, standing lamps on the corridor were rusty & yellowish & filled with cobwebs, there's even long string of cobwebs in the bathroom ceiling. Plenty of mosquitoes in the bathroom/room, and that's the least thing you want from being infected with dengue as it's dengue season (raining season) now. Furnitures in the room (bedframes, cupboards, table) were old as you can tell the colors of the wood had became lighter / faded. Got a room with a keycard that doesn't work at all, was very frustrated & asked to change to another room but the owner said the place was fully booked. In the end, they gave us a key to unlock/lock the door every time we leave the room. While checking out, the staff accused us of taking a spoon when only 1 spoon were given during our stay. In the end, they just say it's ok & we left. If they do refurbish this place & do a proper cleaning, I would definitely return here to stay.

Because of the fatigue of Trans Jasper hiking, also exposed to traffic congestion we chose to stay 1 more night. Tanah Rata to Kea Farm, Brinchang which should take only 15-20 minutes but becomes 2 hours.

Had a great time at this boutique hotel. It’s relatively new and adopt a very interesting design concept. They only have 10 rooms I think. The landscaping around the hotel was really nice. The location of this place is in Tanah Rata, so it’s not as crowded as Brinchang, also it’s not as congested in terms of traffic. You only get one car park per room. It’s situated right at the end of the street, quite secluded and very private. There’s no one waiting during check in, basically, you text a number and someone comes out to give you keys to your room and ask for breakfast selection for the following morning. All communication was done through the WhatsApp. We also asked for extra towels and shampoo, owners were very courteous and generous. Felt very safe for my family with young children could just roam around freely. In terms of amenities, there’s no swimming pool or gym facilities. But there’s a place to do bbq and gather in the common area. They give you the auto gate lock if you were to drive out and come back late at night, you can allow yourself in and lock the gate yourself. In the morning you can hear very loud bird chirping. The air was very fresh! But we were awoken by the loud noise of grass trimming from next door, some government office. There’s also a dormitory next door and you can hear evening prayers. Nearby, there’s a lot of shops and restaurants whereby you will find no problems settling your meals, about 5 mins walk down to the Main Street. Just a few things to note : - There’s a lot of stairs and if you have elderly in your entourage, it is not very convenient getting to the room. You may ask for ground floor rooms of course. The stairs worked super well for my children though, they just enjoyed going up and down so much! - We booked loft rooms. The toilet and bath tub is located next to the main door. It’s open concept, meaning if you were to take a shower at night or go to toilet, it’s going to be cold. - The beds are on the top floor, so if you need the bathroom in the middle of the night, you have to walk down the stairs. - The bathtub and shower design is not so convenient for young children or elderly. - Breakfast comes in very cute tiffin boxes. They place it outside your door around 8 plus. However, I always couldn’t catch their delivery on time, and most times the food is rather cold already. Overall, I still enjoyed my stay very much. I think would very suitable for young couples, and groups of young travelers.

This is the best ever place to stay when you at Cameron Highlands if you really looking for a place to stay with the best ever view of Cameron Highlands. Not recommended to who need lavish lifestyle because here are only for people who need peaceful place to stay with very very very good nature ambience. Staff here are superb from front desk, housekeeper to casual workers (foreigners) each of them are playing their important role to ensure the guest/us are looked after well eg; to accommodate your special request etc. Special mention to Ms Wendy, Ms Ira & another girl at front desk. My suggestion if you come here please bring along your marinated foods for BBQ in the evening (with reasonable cost for BBQ equipment rental) so that you can enjoy your BBQ with fresh air but please keep the BBQ area clean as you go. If you have more people you can book bungalow or can go for individual room if less people. Location is perfect, you can go anywhere easily.

Small but complete. The breakfast was good and tasty The room was unexpectedly clean. Very cost-effective. There is also a small garden. The waiter's attitude is also good. Very satisfied

The location is good, very close to the Twin Towers and the administrative center. The service is considerate and the front desk is polite. Although the hotel is not big and there are not many rooms, the price is affordable, which is the price of small hotels in China.

Absolutely unique ”camp” lofts on stilts equipped with 5 star amenities such as pots/pans, cutleries, microwave, toaster, towels, blankets (thin & vry cold at night) toilet rolls and much more. Tree top chalet is 10m above ground level with spectacular view of the treetops and nearby gushing sound of the river. One can either bring food from home to cook there or order while room booking which caretaker will takeaway frm bentong town. Most importantly, this fantastic place is pet friendly! You are allowed 2 pets, they're strictly not allowed on bed and in pool but can be with you in the room. Also pls be responsible owners and pick up their poo. Meet the local guard dogs (7-8 of them) and their young puppies. This place is very quickly fully booked so best to book 2-3 months in advanced.

Great family homestay that felt like a home away from home. I arrived stressed out, dehydrated and exhausted. The family gave me water, checked in to see if I needed any food and helped me settle in.

Aircond kurang memuaskan kurang sejuk..yg lain2 ok location pun dekat

House was cleaning and location is good .nice view from hotel balcony

I was not placing too high a hope after reading the reviews online. But when I stayed there for 3 nights, I realized my fears was unfounded. Celcom reception was good even in the room. I can even have my zoom meeting and remote access my office comp with almost no lag. Wifi at the lobby is good as well for teams . All the staff are friendly and accommodative. Even the enquiry staff replies email fast after my barrage of questions as it is my first time to Malaysia after the pandemic. The rooms are very clean. Never stepped on a cleaner floor before even in 5 star hotel. The resort gives a very nature vibe good for a break from modern life. A lot of natural elements. The pool is great to spend the day. Food nothing to scream about given it is a 3 star hotel. But is good for a decent meal. Overall is a place I can go back and spend some time unwinding and bond with family.
