Pros:

Il est assez improbable de découvrir ces charmants bungalows lorsqu'on arrive par une rue très animée. Nous avons tout particulièrement apprécié la rencontre avec Onong, qui nous a servi de guide pour une journée entière autour de Tomohon. Onong pourra aussi vous aider à organiser la suite de votre voyage. Il est de très bon conseil sur l'ensemble du Sulawesi. Cerise sur le gâteau, c'est aussi un cuisinier hors pair

Cons:

Certains soirs il peut y avoir un peu de bruit

Nice but noisy
Pros:

Very cute place, I like the design and layout of the bungalows over the water. The staff was helpful

Cons:

It was extremely noisy from the street and at church (there’s a sermon at 21 until 2130). Apparently it’s like this in the whole town, you can hear music and motorcycles as if it’s in your bungalow. Onong was very helpful and offered me to switch to a quieter room

Cheap but bad stay
Pros:

Cheap accomodation but with many flops
Breakfast ok, nothing special but had worse in Indonesia

Cons:

- I understand this is budget accommodation, but for just a slightly higher price in other cities in Indonesia, you get a much higher standard—including hot water

- Upon arrival, our room couldn't be locked, so they moved us to another one that did.

- There is no wall or door separating the bathroom from the main room.

- Cold water in the shower.

- The main rooms don't look good and are very old.

We tried to rent a scooter. The host said all of his were rented out, but arranged one for us. They brought a completely wrecked scooter with non-functioning brakes that looked like it was from World War II, so I refused it. We agreed to rent his own scooter in better condition the next day, but when I asked (next morning), he told me had already given it to someone else. On top of that, he charges 200k per day (110–120cc), whereas in the city you can get a brand new one for 120k from official rental of scooters.

I cannot recommend this accommodation and will not be returning.

Pros:

Le charme du lieu, le magnifique jardin et la gentillesse du personnel. Je recommande aux gens qui veulent vivre quelques jours dans des cabanes en bambou, au bord de la rivière et au milieu d'un magnifique jardin. (Prenez le cottage)

Schön gelegenes, günstiges Homestay
Pros:

Die Gestaltung des Homestays mit vielen Pflanzen und den Hütten und die ruhige Lage haben uns gut gefallen. Die Bettwäsche war frisch und der Raum sauber. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, auch konnten wir problemlos einen Roller mieten. Von hier kann man einige Ausflüge selbständig machen, das ist schön.

Cons:

Wir fanden die Maße auf der Toilette für große Menschen einfach viel zu eng, also das WC war viel zu nah an der gegenüberliegenden Wand. Mit dem Knie war man dann "eingeklemmt".
Das Bett war leider durchgelegen.
Leider gab es weder Trinkwasser noch Wasser für Heißgetränke zur Verfügung...das hätte uns noch gut gefallen.

Cons:

The room is basic and the neighborhood is really noisy. There is no isolation so you need to bring earplugs if you want to sleep

Pros:

Unkomplizierter Rollerverleih, gutes Essen, hilfsbereit bei Fragen. Die Bungalow-Terrasse ist sehr gemütlich.

Cons:

Die Matratze war extrem weich. Das Bad hat ein wenig gestunken und bedarf einer Auffrischung.

Very cool place to stay.
Pros:

Very cool place with a series of different styles of rooms and cabins in a nice garden - major effort to create a cool, alternative vibe.

A little out of town
