Pros:

Great location- close to everything but away from the Main Street. Norman is so lovely and helpful. Always around to answer questions and makes the place feel very welcoming. He gave us good advice on our hikes and told us where to go for sunrise- much more helpful than what we read online. Breakfast was simple but nice. The rooms are clean. Showers are hot and never had to wait to use shower or toilet. Good space to sit outside and Norman was normally around to greet you and ask about your day. There was a way of washing and drying our clothes after our walks and filtered water and tea and coffee. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Cons:

Nothing! The place was great. I guess the only downfall was sound travels quite easily as the place is made of wood and there is a hostel nearby with a bar but never seemed a massive issue and Norman provided ear plugs anyway. We were never woken up or kept up late by noise.

Pros:

Normann, est aux petits soins pour accueillir, discuter et de faire que l'expérience des guests soit la meilleure possible à Tanah Rata. L'auberge est située à moins de 10mn à pieds du terminal de bus et proche de l'artère principale de la ville.

Excellent
Pros:

Le propriétaire est extrêmement accueillant. La proximité des commerces est un vrai atout : nous avons pu tout faire à pied, y compris les allers-retours vers la station de bus.

Cons:

Le petit point négatif, c’est que les fenêtres ne se ferment pas complètement. Comme il a plu le premier soir et que je suis plutôt frileuse, j’ai eu un peu froid.

Pros:

Only a short 700m walk from the bus station. Very comfortable facilities with everything you can possibly need (umbrella, house slippers, shower slippers, towel, bug repellent, hair dryer, ear plugs). There is also a small kitchen you can use, and the simple breakfast is excellent for a small morning bite. Norman is one of the best hosts I’ve ever had, he helped me book a tour with a great company. I couldn’t be more pleased with my stay!

Pros:

Une superbe petite guest house tenu par Norman.
Confort minimalisme mais avec l’essentiel, dont un petit déjeuner et un réfrigérateur partagé. Point fort les espace communs sont propres
Norman sait vous accueillir, il est à votre écoute, il donne des conseils sur la région et les randonnées.

Charming oasis close to the city center
Pros:

This place is a gem. The host is very nice and has created a charming and peaceful atmosphere that is only a couple minutes from the center of town, but feels like a quiet residential oasis. The building is basic, but in good condition and immaculately clean. A simple free breakfast of corn flakes, toast and butter or jam, and tea and coffee. The wifi worked well.

Cons:

There is a loud bar nearby, but Norman provides earplugs and it wasn't an issue for me.

The host Norman was helpful and kind. The facilities are as described. With a light breakfast of toast and a box of cereal. Ear plugs are provided as it’s not well soundproofed.

Cons:

The bed was hard and air felt stale in the room even with windows open.
