El ambiente del lugar es increíble 💛✨

The room had everything we needed, the bed was super comfy.
We went on the free jungle trek, it was quite intense but enjoyable with some great views of scenery and local farms.
We checked in a little later so had a volunteer check us in, the apartments are spread out across several blocks but this wasn't explained to us and the map we were shown didn't make it clear at all, so finding where we were staying was a but if a guessing game at first.
The curtains didn't fully close so had to be mindful of this when changing.

Located in an apartment building complex, there are about 30+ restaurants nearby and most are very affordable!
The hostel has comfy beds with lights and sockets for charging your phone.
They can arrange the local tours for you.
The 5MYR breakfast is a good start to the day.

God vært, der kom med mange anbefalinger til udflugter og restauranter. Gåafstand til busterminalen og centrum. Der er køkken som kan benyttes med bl.a. køleskab. God pris.
Badeværelset var ikke rent og fyldt med hår. Obs: vi bookede det private værelse med eget badeværelse, og her deler man en lejlighed med op til 4 andre personer. Der var meget lydt, og vi havde svært ved at sove pga. larm fra gaden og en hyletone, som vi ikke kunne lokalisere.

Die Unterkunft ist etwa 15 Minuten zu Fuß vom Busbahnhof entfernt. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und wir wurden von Charen (Host) herzlich empfangen und begrüßt. Um das Hostel herum gibt es viele Einkaufs- sowie Essensmöglichkeiten. Mehrere Waschsalons sind ebenso nur wenige Meter entfernt. Die Doppelbettzimmer befinden sich in einem Apartment außerhalb des Hostels. Charen war sehr bemüht, dass das Apartment sauber war und das es uns gut ging. Sie hat uns mit vielen Informationen und Empfehlungen versorgt. Die Tee-Zeremonie ist sehr zu empfehlen! Wir haben uns sehr wohl und geborgen gefühlt!
Nichts. :)

Nous avons adoré le séjour, arrivée autonome simple grâce aux explications de cha ren. L'appartement est propre et confortable, il y'a tout à disposition. Cha ren est d'une gentillesse rare, le petit déjeuner est excellent ( son pain et ses confitures fait maison sont délicieux )
Elle nous a donné de précieux conseils pour visiter la région. Nous recommandons vivement et nous reviendront avec plaisir.
Absolument rien !

Everything was perfect. Sharon was the nicest host we have had in our 2,5 months of travelling.
When we arrived we immediately were offered a coffee and a nice talk.
We stayed in the appartement which is in another block. The appartement was super clean, tidy and comfortable. It’s an appartement with three bedrooms so you might have ‘roommates’ but it was cleaned everyday, very quiet, and wifi was very fast.
We also took the homemade breakfast which was so nice! We don’t get to eat a lot of bread in Asia so this felt like home.
We also did the aroma- and teaceremony. If you have the chance, do not miss out on this. Even if you’re not a tea drinker like me, it’s such a nice experience.
Sharon made our stay perfect and I wished we would’ve stayed an extra night.
Everything was perfect.

Was hele nette kamer en Cha Ren is onwijs lief, ze neemt je mee voor de local ervaring en heeft hele goeie tips om van alles in de omgeving te doen.
Rond de accommodatie is niet veel te doen maar als je een scooter huurt is dat geen probleem

Schönes Apartment (einfach aber völlig ausreichend!) Ausstattung alles da.
Cha Ren ist sehr hilfsbereit, hat uns eine Tour zu Mossy Forest gebucht (die war klasse!). Das Frühstück - selbstgemachtes Brot und Marmeladen - waren sehr lecker und das zum keinen Preis!
Die Lage ist etwas 10 Minuten Fußweg vom Busterminal, also nicht direkt im "getrubel", aber das hat uns überhaupt nicht gestört.

Our host was amazing, she was super friendly and very helpful. She helped us book our tours and bus ride to taman negara, we loved the tea ceremony she gave us an amazing insight into chinese tea culture, we highly recommend staying here and make sure you do the tea ceremony. This was our favourite stay on our holiday.

Stayed in a lovely apartment and slept really well as it was comfy and quiet. Charen owns the apartment and the bedrooms are rented out to guests. It was full when we were there and everyone was really respectful, quiet and friendly.
Charen is just a delight! She is so friendly and pretty much made our entire itinerary for the Cameron highlands for us including her hike on maps.me which was awesome. We also did her tea ceremony which I would highly recommend it was a very memorable, cultural experience and she seems to enjoy doing it as much as we enjoyed taking part which is lovely! The breakfast was great too and very reasonably priced.
I would definitely stay again.

Charen is a wonderful hostess! She is very friendly and helpful and is happy to give tips. I had the feeling of being at home. The tea ceremony was great, she took a lot of time for it and you could see that she loves to share her knowledge.
The breakfast was very tasty. Everything she offers she has made herself with much love.
I would come back anytime!
The location is not very central, but there are still a lot of restaurants in the neighborhood and it is also not far to walk to the main street. The location would not be a reason for me not to come!

Small guesthouse/hostel with all the basic facilities you need. Ran by a very sweet lady who is not always present in the hostel but always willing to help and responds super quick on WhatsApp to. Gives you all the information you need and makes her own bread and many spreads for breakfast in the morning! Definitely recommend.

Cosy area, very comfortable. Lovely breakfast... home made bread and jam. and boiled egg. Truly delicious! Free tea and good local coffee available. .Lovely peaceful upstairs area. Nice to see a couple of shelves of books. Very welcoming host and Very attentive helper, Jenny from Vietnam. Thank you.
The door locking system was a bit complicated. I accidently locked myself out!

The owner was friendly and very responsive on Whatsapp (at least for me as I later discovered). I got sick and arrived one day later but there was no problem with coming later (with no extra charge). She arranged tour for me and also rescheduled it with no additional fee so that was very nice. The location was ok, around 12 min from bus station and "the centre".
The rating on here is misleading about the property we were staying at. The owner has 3 locations with apartments close by. I stayed in building B5 in a shared bedroom with around 10 beds so I can only comment this property.
The check-in was weird (I arrived around 7 pm) and nobody was there, it was very dark, I was accepted by 2 people that were staying there and helped me point out where are the sheets, the key for the locker and a towel.
It is strange since the place is super dark, there is no windows. It kinda looks like it could be a storage - but not a place to live there.
Since the rating is so good on Booking, you get surprised and you wonder you were "scammed in a way". I checked the rating of others now - they gave some negative comments also on the cleaningness, beds, noise and stuff but still rated the place with 7 or 8 which is just weird.
But since the price is also really low, it is kinda "too good to be true".
It is dirty, bathrooms were not clean, it was not comfortable for me to shower (have slippers so you can shower in them).
It is not a place for socializing really, there is a common space upstairs but nobody hangs out there.
Tours start at 8 am so people get ready to go. And since the sleeping space and the kitchen are not separated, it is harder to extend your sleep because you hear everything.
You can also get a breakfast (it is not really special - bread and a jam but jams are of different flavours even coconut).
I didnt have problem sleeping but for some the bed was very hard. It is a thin mattress.
10.0
Charen was so kind and helpful. She inundated me with all the best things to do in the area and Malaysia as a whole. And such nice homemade toast and jams in the morning, the nicest peanut butter I think I've ever had.
The location is ever so slightly out the way, but Charen informed me the surrounding restaurants are what's most popular with the locals as they're away from the tourists, and are actually better quality.
The checking in system was explained very simply.
It got a bit cold at night. I think a draught excluder for the front door would go along way, or blankets for the beds that're a touch thicker.
9.0
The host was extremely accommodating and gave us lots of recommendations on things to do in the area. She also let us leave our bags after check out time while we waited a few hours for our bus.
The facilities are great, washing machine, kitchen facilities, TV. The bathroom is shared between 3 rooms but it wasn't a problem.
The apartment is an 8-minute walk to the centre of town, but the area it is located in has a lot of shops and restaurants to explore.

Just to clearify you stay at an apartement with 3 rooms and shared the kitchen and the living with two other parties. We loved the exchange with our homemates.
The host Charen is so lovely, helpful and very organized. She did an amazing chinese tea zeremonie with us, organized our dropp off and provided us with lot of local informations - she's totally trustworthy and reliable. We really recommend this place.
At first the location looks a bit outside of the town but it was only a few minutes by foot.

We really enjoyed our stay, the owner was the nicest women ever, so helpful and shared with us what to do in the area including sending us the 6&10 route on maps.me. She also booked us onto our onward travel which was very helpful. We ended up paying to have breakfast on our last morning which was really delicious, some of the best homemade jams we've had.

This is a room in an apartment and the apartment super well kept. It is nicely furnished and has everything you need: private room, shared kitchen, bathroom and living room. There is even a washing machine to use.
Also, Charen the host is wonderful! She has a lot information to share of where to go and what to do. And the mossy forest tour she suggested was great!
The toilet would be quite noisy after flushing and for a while. But closing the door is enough to shut the noise out.
Faucet in the bathroom sink needs an update as hardly any water would come out.
But honestly, minor things. The stay in this apartment was great and super relaxed!

Lovely area of Cameron Highlands with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants frequented by locals a few minutes walk from the main strip (which is more touristy).
The host Charen was so welcoming and attentive - I had an accident that needed medical attention and she went above and beyond the call of duty, directing me to medical clinics and calling ahead to check for the medication I needed. The homemade breakfast was amazing too! Highly recommended.

I have been living in Malaysia for 5 years. Charen (the owner) is the kindest person I have met in Malaysia. I loved staying at the cave; it was very peaceful and made me feel at home. I had the best bread for breakfast, and I would love to stay at the cave again.

We liked the accommodation very much. We had the appartement with shared bathroom. We shared the bathroom with one other appartement.
The best thing about the Guesthouse is the lady of the Guesthouse (Charen). She is very helpful. She will help you with everything you need in and around Cameron Highlands
