Guest Houses in Rantepao

The owners were very friendly. One of them gave me a ride to the bus station. Simple room with all of the basics.

Toraja Dannari Homestay provides all the basics you need for a comfortable stay in Rantepao. The location is walking distance from the Rantepao town, which makes it very easy to find food options and explore the town on foot. The room was clean and there is hot water. It takes a while for the water to heat up initially though after you switch on the geezer. So, make sure to turn on the hot water well before you use the shower. There is no sink in the bathroom, which can make non-shower activities like brushing one’s teeth a bit tricky. There is a small table, a chair, a clothes rack and a fan in the room. When I arrived in the evening, there was no one at the reception / in the house, although I had informed them of my arrival time. Additionally, there was no towel or toilet paper in the room, and I had to wait a while to find someone to ask for such things. The wifi password was also not provided anywhere. So, again, I had to wait a while until I could find someone who works there to get the password. I also though breakfast was included in the reservation, but it turned out that you have to pay for breakfast separately. So, make sure to double-check about the breakfast before you make the reservation. It can get noisy depending on your neighbors as the walls are thin. It can also get very noisy every morning around 4.30-5 am when the church uses loudspeakers for hymns / sermons. Around the same time, the cocks in the entire neighborhood start crowing very loudly, and they continue for at least a couple of hours once they start. I have experienced this in other parts of Indonesia as well. So, I don’t think Toraja Dannari Homestay can do anything about it. Just plan accordingly and go to sleep early. Loraine Tin was very helpful during my stay.

Sarah is really taking good care of her guests, her homemade bread are one of the best I’ve had in Indonesia. Rooms are spacious and what is equally important very bright. You will find there necessary furniture. I was really happy to stay there.

don’t stay here; stay somewhere else. gross bedrooms and pretty uncomfortable place
