Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … I like the hospitality and the atmosphere which is different from a "concrete jungle." The staff are very friendly and the place is very neat, nice, and quiet. Not near the main street or crowd. Four of us in a a family stayed here for two nights (31 May and 1 June 2007) in a very spacious room converted from a semi-circle, British army-style hut.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … the coziest place on earth. the environment was great. the hospitality was amazing. nice place to stay. very clean area. not much to comment. everything seems too perfect. keep it up.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … This was the best place we stayed in Malaysia, and one of the best in Asia. We were there in March 2004. The atmosphere was great, the food was great, and the staff were very friendly. Always a couple of films to watch every night (though who ever chooses the film does have to pay 3RM), with free cake and reasonably priced beer to accompany it. The rooms were functional, not too expensive, and I never had a problem with the toilet/shower area. The communal areas were very popular, which made it very easy to meet other guests. We would definitely go back, and recommended it to everyone else going to the Cameron Highlands.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … Great hostel! Spacious rooms in novel styles. They serve cream teas (as does everywhere in the CH) and you can organise to do tours from here. It's set in fantastic grounds and has a good location. Go to the Boh tea plantations on a tour. The CH are awesome -- it's nice to be able to get some fresh air and feel a bit cooler after the stifling heat of Kuala Lumpur.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … We stayed here in August 2005 and were very happy with the place. The dorms were a bit overcrowded with about 20 people in metal "war time" style huts, but everyone was friendly enough.
We also stayed in a double room with a shared bathroom. The room was spacious enough for the two of us. Although it was quite near to the eating area so it was quite noisy at night.
They have a fairly good menu, although it's a bit more pricey than the town food. And they have a really good range of DVDs to hire. Most days there about 2 or 3 films showing, which is nice for a chill out.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … The bunker rooms have thin walls and rickety beds, but there's also a concrete building with real nice double rooms, spacey, clean and quiet looking out on a garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay!
Twin Pines in Tanah Rata … Fairly spartan but cosy hostel with friendly staff, nice TV room, and great courtyard to chill out in. My room was pretty much a foam mattress on the floor and a table, but it was clean, cosy, and only RM10! Pretty good for your own room I reckon.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … The room was ok. I think the price was reasonable. The staff were nice. They helped me when I wanted some advice about where to go next. The room's wall is thin so get ready to hear what your next door neighbor says.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … Nice atmosphere and the staff were incredibly helpful with local information. The bunkers were a bit random but more than appropriate. The toilet/shower facilities were pretty rancid though. Good reasonably priced food altho the kitchen staff were a bit stroppy. When we visted the 'jungle view' was somewhat marred by the deforestation (or whatever it was) that was going on.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … Having just stayed there in July 2004, I can add the following: The gardens are lovingly tended; it's a shame that the rest of the place isn't. The bathrooms should have been demolished a while ago. The other two main drawbacks were the rules and charges for everything (such as RM3 for a movie or a book, the latter with a RM 30 deposit and 50 sen for hot water). And also, the lack of comfy sofas or sets in the communal areas is not good when you do hire a movie. Finally, and always a plus in a hostel, there were rats.
Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata … The main building itself, as well as the surroundings, is pretty nice, as is the garden, the lounge room and terrace. The staff were pretty nice as well as helpful. In general a nice atmosphere.
The drawback was the rooms! We stayed in double room, which was pretty basic, which in itself is ok. The mattresses were so thin you could feel the bed frame underneath. Anyway, the bathroom (if you can call it that) is nothing to write home about. Didn't look that clean plus we didn't like having the shower and toilet divided from the room by only a thin wall thing (not sure what you call it in English).
Kang Travellers Lodge (Daniel's lodge) in Pahang … This place was awesome. He's a super nice guy and any tour he tells you about is really worth it. It's a hostel and not a 5-star resort so don't expect much. But I'd sure stay here again!
