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 :)

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 😊

Nice room with balcony and shower with hot water (though not much waterpressure it was good enough). Excellent breakfast and extremely kind and helpful hosts. They helped us book the bus to Tentena, brought us to the busstation, gave advice and a map for hiking in Toraja and even made us lunch for in the bus. Also convenient scooter rental from the home stay and Peso can tell you a lot about Toraja and it’s culture.

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!

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

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.

Great stay in rantepoa! would highly recommend this homestay if you are visiting Toraja. The host family are lovely and provide delicious meals and made us feel so comfortable. They arranged transport options for us and great tours. Wish we could stay longer!
Great homestay, big beds, hot shower with good pressure and a shared bathroom that's always clean. Breakfast is one of the best I've had in whole Indonesia. Above all, Ibra is a lovely host and would do anything to help you or make your day better, give you recommendations, his contacts. The funeral ceremony tour with him was also an amazing experience. Absolutely recommended!
The homestay is very comfortable and a nice place to meet other people in a unique location. In addition, it is the perfect place to be shown around the culture and life of the people in Tana Toraja by the hostess and guide Meyske.
We had great time here.
A nice family homestay outside of the city center (it can be a little noisy though).
Felt like at home, great moment over dinner,
water refill, local medication if needed;)
Room is spacious, clean, modern and well furnished.
Breakfast was perfect and in addition you can rent motorbike here
Henrick is a good guide I highly recommend a tour with him.
He has strong knowledge about the toraja culture and will dedicate a lot of time to explain it. Kuree Sumanga !
Manaek is a lovely sweet woman who seems to run the place. She prepares breakfast and dinner for the guests and she always smiles. The people are always willing to help you, with transportation or tours etc.
The homestay is next to beautiful traditional houses and located in between the rice fields with beautiful views. It is perfect if you are looking for a peaceful stay in nature, compared to the noisy city centre of Rantepao.
We had a delightful stay at Nuansa Homestay, immersing ourselves in its rural charm and authentic accommodation. The host family was not only friendly but truly lovely and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The traditional Tongkonan house was exceptionally clean, and surprisingly, no mosquitoes bothered us.
One highlight was the fantastic guide (Mr. Natan) they provided, enhancing our experience.
Lovely host family. Paulus (host) did take us to a Torajan funeral as a guide. Also he arranged a rental motorbike/moped for us. His wife Ernie makes the best banana pancakes for breakfast!!
Meske and her family are the best host family you could ever wish for! Your stay will be a true experience with the locals, their food and habits. Meske goes the extra mile; she will spend evenings with you to help you plan your programme and suggest the best guides and drivers. This is not a simple stay - you should know you will leave your heart in Toraja ;)
I loved that this was Meskyes private home. I enjoyed spending time in an authentic home stay. I felt so welcome. Because I respected that this is a private home and not a hotel, we let Meskye know when we were out at night and our approximate time back out of respect. As much as there are guests, it is still important to remember this is someones home. Nothing was an issue and Meskye and her mum made stunning local meals. Meskye also shared alot of local knowledge. It was so tranquil and I wish I had booked longer
