Location: well situated. Close to the town center and the bus station. Services: I recommend the transport to Taman Negara with van and boat. Well organized. Amenities: shampoo and gel provided. Also toilet paper, only one roll provided at the begining, but you can request more if you run out of paper with no charge. Rooms: We had like a common space for several rooms which included a kitchen, living room and terrace. Our room had private bathroom inside, but some rooms had to share wc. It was clean. Confortable bed. All Good for the price, Not a big luxury but Good for some nights. Recommended acomodation in Cameron Highlands.

Services: they offer several full day/half day trips and van transportation. We did the full day tour and NOT recommended. If you want to enjoy tea plantations take a Grab to Cameron Valley Tea Shop and do a small trecking through the tea plants. In the trip they will take you to BOH plantations which are nice, But you can not walk through them, it is like a view point with a shop and a cafe. A lot of people and only 40mins there, impossible to taste tea as the qeue was really long. Cameron Highlands are famous for the tea and during this trip only 40min in the plantations, it is ridiculous. It is the same time you spend in a small zoo with sick animals or in the cactus point which is more a garden shop, nothing special. Check in/out: limited reception schedule, not 24 hours.

- Tour proposed by the hotel - Confort - Shortcut to the center

It is a bit hard to find but once you send check in to the WhatsApp number, you have clear indications

Location

- liked the co living concept - friendly and helpful staff

Location was good and apartments and rooms are really nice and clean.

The only thing I didn’t like was the tour organised by the hostel.. I strongly recommend to don’t do it as it is not well organised, the guides don’t explain you anything of the attractions you see (apart from the tea fields) and all the other attractions apart from the Boh gardens feel like an “add up” just to justify the price of the tour. (I did the full day one).

The shared lounge and balcony spaces were really nice and the kitchen was great. The bedroom had everything we needed.

Would be good to have a water filter in the apartment.

“Perfect stay We had a wonderful time here. The location is perfect close to the city center and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. Would definitely stay here again! We had the room with private toilet and shower. Also the tour with landrover was great!

Nothing

The room was great, very clean and had everything we could need. The staff were very kind and helpful, and overall the facilities were great.

Not the most social due to the layout, but still had a wonderful stay

Common area was lovely and clean, pool table really nice touch. Water to refill bottle and fridge were very handy. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfy.

We had a sharing bathroom and there was no soap or hand towel, it also flooded anytime anyone had a shower. But given the price it still is incredible value for money.

Had a great stay at Oastel. The place feels warm and homely, with a great location and super friendly staff. Their website is very useful too .you can book tours and transfers in advance, which makes planning much easier. Highly recommended for a smooth and comfortable trip.

Nice room in shared apartment. Very clean, room was comfortable with table for working. Hot shower, fridge, electric kettle on site, drinking water available at office. I would have liked to book this room for my entire stay in Cameron Highlands, but ended up staying only four nights due to availability.

My room was on the 5th floor, and wifi was unreliable. I teach English online and need a reliable connection and a good phone signal as a backup. Unfortunately, my phone had a weak signal, and sometimes the property internet went off. The signal was fine for the first day's classes, but the next day the internet was down and I had to relocate to the office to teach my classes. The staff was very accommodating, which I appreciate, but it would be nice to have consistently reliable internet in the room.

Its facilities and coziness

The location just a tiny bit

Great facilities, good price. The lady behind reception was absolutely lovely - could not have done enough for you. Genuinely interested in my stay. Lots of information about hikes etc.

Room smelt a little damp, but considering the amount of rain this place gets suppose it’s inevitable.

Absolutely horrific. Only the organised half day jeep tour was good. The full day jeep tour is not worth it.

- unsafe and very aggressive staff (owner) - several cockroaches in the kitchen and in my personal bathroom, and crawling over my luggage. - extremely bad customer service - owner came into my room without any indication at midnight after I reached out to reception about the cockroach issue, while still in my underwear - Staff immediately started threatening to evict me out of the room at MIDNIGHT without even talking to me about the cockroaches - Staff started to search my room at midnight to find the key, threatening legal action if I did not cooperate. - on top of this moldy bed mattress, moldy curtains, moldy bathroom - the accommodation tried to prevent me from posting a review by filing to booking.com that I never checked in. I did not get my money (for a 3 day stay) back. I had to call booking’s costumer service to leave a review. Absolute worst accommodation I have ever encountered. I had to barricade the door to feel safe from the aggressive staff while sleeping , had people on the phone the entire night before I could finally leave this abomination. I will never come back, and I absolutely cannot recommend this place to anyone else.

Very good location, the appointment was very clean, nice furniture, very good bed and mat, nice comfortable bathroom, cute kitchen, nice green view ..but the best of all the stuff is amazing!!! So kind and warm-hearted people!!!❤️,(as the most Malaysians are!!!)

I loved my stay here! The room was spacious and comfortable and in a great location in Tanah Rata. They also offer guided tours around Cameron Highlands, which I joined and loved. I highly recommend this place!

Very nice and different concept. Feels like you are staying in a university style accommodation. Joys of a private room but a full apartment as well
