Homestays in Pahang, Malaysia

Now where do I start... There were many twists and turns before I finally decided on my stay at Rover's inn. Finally, after booking and cancelling several accommodations , I decided on this one. Upon looking at the pictures and the price, I thought the entire experience of staying here was just going to be so-so. But the entire experience really exceeded my expectations! Upon stepping foot into the hotel, I was greeted by the melody of soft jazz  wafting into the lobby. The owner warmly greeted me with a smile when I arrived at night, and he filled me in on the rules of the place. Maybe it's because I've been staying amongst the hustle and bustle of Singapore for too long - but the quaint, quiet and peaceful surroundings of the hotel felt absolutely refreshing and peaceful. I also really like the fact that the management makes it a point to make sure that noise is reduced to a minimum. The hotel room turned out to be really spacious too, and for the price , it is really quite reasonable. There is a lounge and a cute outdoor dining area for guests to consume their meals. Water, coffee and tea are also provided. In the lounge area, there are also some books that guests can read ☺️ I chose the classic - men are from Mars, women are from Venus. On the last day of my stay, Jessie forgot to return me my deposit and she specially called me up to make arrangements so she could return me the money. Really thankful for her honesty. Facilities wise, the only think I would really have wished could be included was a hair dryer! I couldn't find one and I really needed it to dry my hair. But I guess the hotel management would need more income to upgrade their facilities ? For the price, I really can't complain.☺️ Another thing is the walls are kinda thin? So sometimes I can hear the other guests in other rooms which kinda disrupts my sleep. Other than that, I'm really satisfied with my entire experience here ♥️☺️☺️

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 mini chalet is suitable for couples mainly because space inside is limited. Very cold at night but can get very hot in morning if you don't open the doors. Shared toilets are clean and has hot shower option. Only thing is we got the chalet at the end near the trash bin, so in the morning there were LOTS of flies. Come before 10pm to check in and do expect sheep dung's smell, the Sheep Sanctuary is only beside the hotel. Also make sure car is in good condition, road to and from the parking is quite steep.

we recommend the management pls send the detail or reminder on check in procedure before 3pm once we have to wait outside. for more than 10mins have to wait for the registration comfired and get the room pass. The paint on this wall has starting to crack and peel. and we found some small insert and unclean area The air-conditioning screeched and leaking. hope to improve cleanness and services

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.

spacious room with basic amenities very clean android TV,wifi and water heater working good worth the money spent nearby to city

We stayed at a Deluxe room. The whole place is dim, dark, wet and moldy. Warm/Hot shower head is quite a challenge. Within 10 seconds can be too hot, and next 10 seconds too cold. So you can guessed it. Showering wasn't pleasant at all. Room desk having ants everywhere. Felt so annoying. The Indian lady boss isn't friendly. Breakfast so so only. Don't bother getting one. This place was beautiful before but in serious need of upgrading and better maintenance. It's a waste to see this place in ruins. The receptionist Adilla is friendly luckily. And no, we won't be back at Bala's.

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.

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.

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.

Good - Clean - Inexpensive (Paid only RM48 for a twin share!) - Free hot drinking water Average - Hot water takes a while to heat up - Coffee/Tea/Towels are chargeable so please manage your expectations - Old man staff is like a cute grandfather - Woman staff is a little standoffish, but still OK. Does her job as expected. - Scones and breakfast acceptable (not so pricey) Bad - Toilet Floor is very slippery when wet. Almost slipped. Hotel Tips - Bring your own coffee packs/tea packs for a more enjoyable stay. (Mugs provided) - Bring your own toiletries for a little more luxurious bath

The staff at this property saved from sleeping on the street on our first night in Tanah Rata due to a problem between the hotel we booked and the agent (the big ”A”). We rolled up at about 10pm after dragging our luggage across town. Note: difficult to find taxi or Grab after 9pm. They gave us a room for the night but we stayed for 3. The staff were great, especially Elaine, who provided heaps of useful guidance and also organized our self-drive motorbike tour. She's a gem. The property is quiet and pleasant. Good public areas and grounds. Prices competitive. We had a double with private en-suite. Hot water was useful in this climate. Internet was a little unreliable. Didn't sleep well but that was mostly due to change in climate. Clean and sure to be a success, especially compared to our intended hotel.

Comfortable accommodation.. we are satisfied with the cleanliness, only the main entrance door needs to be fixed because it is difficult to lock.. the other is the best

spacious room with basic amenities very clean android TV,wifi and water heater working good worth the money spent nearby to city

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).

The service was okay. However, the room is not that clean. The floor felt sticky and the glass window was clearly never been cleaned.

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

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.

It can be with the price

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

Owner is very responsible
