Providing a terrace, The Sanduk Homestay provides accommodation in Rantepao. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

This homestay and his owner Ibra are unique, a jewel in Rantepao! Everything that we read in previous reviews was true. Ibra is very helpful in organising tours around Toraja. The room and the bathroom are clean, the beds really comfortable. For breakfast you can choose between western and asian style, both is nice and portions are good and large :)

Situated in Rantepao in the South Sulawesi region, Hostel Papa Tia features a garden. The property has mountain views.

I definitely recommend this hostel. It's safe. Very good and clean. Hot water. Wifi. Good reakfast included. Other food can be ordered too. Private rooms. Good price. Very comfortable. The host is very nice. I would recommend him to be your guide. He knows what is going on in the area at the time. I've visited many places with him. I've stayed longer because I wanted to see every day of the funeral celebrations. Every day, different things happen. The funeral was 5 days. They can be even longer if it is a higher class family. I've stayed in Papa Tia, but if it is fully booked, someone can stay in Mama Tia. It's his son's place. When I was in a hostel in Makassar, they helped me book the bus to Rantapao. Another guide contacted me through them and offered his trips. I didn't take this offer. It would be paying someone else for what you can arrange by yourself in Rantapao with your homestay. I was happy with Jacob's (the host from Papa Tia) trips. He will advise what the options are, and people can choose what they want to visit. Jacob also helped me to organise the bus to Poso, and he helped me with communication with my next hotel. Many thanks 😊

Toraja Sanggalangi Homestay is a recently renovated homestay in Rantepao, where guests can make the most of its garden and terrace.

This has been one of the best places we’ve stayed during our six months of traveling. The Toraja area is stunning and well worth spending at least four nights, as we did. Our room was lovely, with a great view and a perfect location in the village. There is a hot shower, and the food was delicious. The owners are warm and welcoming. We had a unique experience joining Taco on a tour to visit a ‘sick’ person and witnessed a local funeral ceremony, which gave us deep insight into the culture here.

Situated in Rantepao in the South Sulawesi region, THE SINGKI HOME FAMILY has a balcony. This homestay features a garden. Rooms include a terrace with mountain views and free WiFi.

We were very satisfied with the accommodation at Kevin's place. The rooms are basic but clean. Just bring some earplugs, life starts pretty early in the village. Small shops and restaurants are nearby. You can also rent scooters there. And the view ist beautiful. Thank you Kevin!

Situated in Rantepao in the South Sulawesi region, Riana's Homestay has a garden. The rooms have a terrace with views of the garden. At the homestay, all units have a wardrobe.

The family is very accommodating and happy to help in every request. You can rent a bike from them to go around the area. The house is simple and beautiful, with a lot of green and passion fruit to pick when ready. Mr Douve is very knowledgeable and he speaks a very good English, and he is always keen to explain the torajan culture and tell what to do around the area. I really enjoyed meeting them and the first day I had a long talk with him about their traditions etc. as solo traveller and without a guide was really valuable. My room was huge, the bed as well. Basic and comfy. All I need

Located in Rantepao, Monton Guest House offers a bar. This guest house features a garden and free private parking. The guest house has family rooms.

Location is lovely! I stayed in rainy season, therefore hotel wasn't crowded and was chill. Although it's rainy season it was mostly raining in the evenings, so could see much anyway. Every morning hosts offered coffee and breakfast, was very welcoming and allowed me to stay longer than one night.
