We stayed 5 nights in this hotel. We really wanted to explore Tana Toraja. You are welcomed with a drink at the large open air reception area. A porter immediately tales care of your luggage. This hotel is setup in a very lush atmosphere. The first thing you will notice are the tongkonan houses in the center area. Besides that there are a lot of trees and even small sawa’s. Our room was on the upper floor of a building that has two rooms. There is a terrace with two chairs that are not comfortable. There is room has the size of a standard hotel room. Albeit that there is a joining side room with a closet and room to stuff your bags and such. Furniture is oke. There is a refrigerator that does a decent job, as does the airco. There is coffee and tea and also a bottle of water. All of this is supplemented each day. But they do forget some items though. The bathroom is spacious enough. The shower works well and the whole bathroom is just that. A bathroom. The whole room, including the bathroom, has the upper part of the windows replaced by mesh. This makes you feel right in the middle of nature. Which is really nice. However, it may also keep you up at night because nature is not quiet! You will hear the frogs in the gardens and the sawa’s the crickets and early morning, all of these are replaced by birds. And this can be quite loud. It didn’t bother us, but just giving you the heads up. We used the pool too. It is oke to cool down, nothing more. Sunbeds are made of iron and that is what your back will feel. Only a few of them. You can get a pooltowel. If you are lucky to find the poolguy around. We had breakfast and dinner here. There aren’t really many other options around that cater for western people that we are. But we thought it all to be really oke. We also used the bar area and it is really great that you can enjoy a late afternoon drink, after a full day away. Although we went in the “dry season” we were still treated to some serious showers in the afternoon. The hotel has large chinese hats to use to keep dry and they work remarkably well. This hotel is not super luxurious. It is, however, a really decent upper level tourist class hotel. Apparently also in demand by Indonesian government officials too, as we saw parties having dinner here. We enjoyed our stay. We can recommend this hotel but be aware there can be shortcomings. But, this is Indonesia. If this review was helpful to you, please vote “helpful”, so I know I was of help to you. Enjoy Tana Toraja!
