Arundina Cameron Highlands

Small quiet guest house in great location close to bus terminal station (700m), restaurants. Property is clean and well maintained. Possibility to enjoy a small breakfast (toasts, jam, banana & cereals) on location or to get a voucher for a breakfast with eggs in a close by restaurant. Well done!

Very quiet, tranquil place, surrounded by forest on 3 sides, but still only 300 meters from the main road. While there are bright streetlamps on the road to the property, if you get a room with windows facing the forest, you can enjoy fresh forest air when sleeping with open windows, while still having good darkness for sleep using the curtains. Comfortable mattress. Shoes have to be taken off before entering the building, but can be carried into the room or stored outside. No refrigerator or kettle in the room. The rules prohibit use of electrical appliances in the room other then phone, camera, laptop, hairdryer and "other usual personal appliances", which is a bit vague, because who is to define if for example a kettle or rice cooker is a "usual personal appliance" or not? Good water flow in the shower, water heater works well, warm water. My room (Deluxe Triple Room) had a (North-facing) balcony, great for having coffee and working on a laptop, the chairs are comfortable and also there is an ergonomic height counter in the room you can work at. Maxis LTE mobile Internet speeds reach 65 Mbps. Reception open 08:00-22:00. Parking space in front for about 7 cars.

Lovely, quiet Guesthouse. Clean, well maintained and close to many food options and other basic services in the small town centre of Tanah Rata. Staff were friendly and willing to chat. Guesthouse is not fancy but I like it simple, fuss-free and back-to-basics, and still comfortable and cosy.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Arundina. It seems like the majority of hotels in the Cameron Highlands (judging by reviews and what we saw) are not in great shape so all things considered, we were happy with our stay. Pros: - great location, very close to restaurants, bars etc but is away from the busy main road - friendly staff who were welcoming and helped us to book a taxi for 25 ringgit/hour for 3 hrs to see main attractions in the area - much cheaper than private tours!! Would recommend - good value for money - you can either eat the simple breakfast at the guest house (toast, spreads) or get a free voucher to get a cooked breakfast at the Mossy Forest cafe in town (can also upgrade to other options v cheap too) Cons: - the corridors are very noisy depending on who your neighbours are! We were woken very early in the morning - the room is damp even when you use the fan and leave window open but this is largely unavoidable in CH unless you have air con/dehumidifier due to high humidity - we were quite cold in the night so bring layers!! There is no heater in the room

Cosy, nice guesthouse located a bit off the main road but still close to everything. Quietly located in a beautiful garden. Great value for money. Highly recommend
