Fathers' Guesthouse

We stayed there two nights but could have easily stayed for a week or longer! Room was spacious and clean. The whole guesthouse is well maintained, clean, and cozy. Plenty of lounge area. But the best part was the staff who were friendly and attentive. They gave us so many recommendations. If we visit the area again, would definitely stay here.

I personally don't understand the positive reviews of Father's Guesthouse.||As soon as you enter, you're required to take off your slippers. We visited several hotels/guesthouses in Malaysia during our trip, but only here was this necessary.||You then enter the elevator to go to your room, and inside the elevator hangs a leaflet full of all sorts of things you absolutely shouldn't do. ||So much for a warm welcome.||The room is small, and when you lie in bed, there's a very strange smell. Almost as if the sheets haven't been changed since the previous guests left. I can't quite explain it, but it's anything but fresh.||If you want a hot shower, only a thin stream comes out. The stream only improves if you turn the tap on more, but then the water goes cold.||You can see through the towels; they're so worn.||And if you want to charge anything, you can only do so in your room because you have to insert the card into the holder to have power. Not convenient when you're out and about as a tourist most of the day and night.||I could go on, but we ultimately decided to leave early. We then went to another, more luxurious hotel where we paid the same as here. If I had to mention two things that were good, they'd be the free parking in front of the hotel and the location. The center of Tanah Rata is just a 5-minute walk away.

Everything was great! Guests are required to remove their shoes and place them neatly on the shoe rack before entering the guesthouse, which adds to the clean and homely atmosphere. The room was spacious and tidy, with a hot shower provided. There’s also an iron available outside the room. It was very comfortable for three people to sleep in. The surroundings of the guesthouse are quiet and well-maintained—perfect if you value peace and privacy. Outside, there’s a self-service cabin that offers tea and coffee, a water dispenser, and a designated smoking area. There’s even a lovely garden and plenty of cozy spaces inside to sit and chat. The parking area is spacious and secure, with gated access. I especially enjoyed the calm and soothing ambiance at night—truly relaxing.

The guesthouse is very clean and beautifully maintained, with a particularly good bathroom. It’s a relatively large guesthouse with many rooms, which gives it a slightly impersonal vibe. One suggestion would be to add mosquito screens to the windows. The climate in the area is so nice that it’s tempting to sleep with the windows open, especially since there is no air conditioning, but the lack of screens means mosquitoes can get in. Still, it’s a great place to stay, and the cleanliness and comfort really stand out.

The location, cleanliness, staff, room, view, everything was perfect. |The staff is very nice and friendly. We felt welcomed from the start. The room smelled nice, the bed was so comfortable and the overall cleanliness made us feel very good. It's very close to the restaurants. It has a lovely yard with a beautiful outdoor terrace.

Friendly staff, room large enough. A bit cold, but ok. No WiFi in room, just in common living area, refill for water. No shoes inside. Near trail 10. Would be great to have place to dry your clothes in this rainy area. We went by foot, but best to take a Grab especially in rain with two 15kg luggages 😅

rooms : - got it for only rm100+ - the shower has heater, no toothbrush & toothpaste btw but other than that its complete. service : - the staffs are very very helpful - they even got scooter rental service (very much needed considering cameron is always jammed) - they have several spacious common space/ lepak space where u can watch tv, chill, and even make yourself tea/coffee. Location : - nearby everything. if u travel by motorcycle it only took <10mins to go to tourist attractions

Let me start by saying this guest house is very clean, both the rooms and the hall ways and kitchen. The rooms are comfy. The road is a bit noisy though. Everyday, new clean towels. The staff is friendly and helpful. The kitchen is a bit limited in its supplies but there is free coffee, tea, water a fridge and a stove with a few pans. You can buy a Guiness from the fridge (at the reception) as well (for you, Irish, British, Scottish, & Dutchies). But who cooks here? There is a great amount of nice restaurants around such as Rosa Indah (Malaysian/Indonesian) and Kougen (Japanese fusion). Location is nice as well. 15 min walk from the bus terminal. 5 min to the restaurants. 5 min to the start of hiking route 10 (recommended). The owner of the place is someone you should definitely meet. With great passion he will explain you everything about the surroundings and history of Cameron Highlands and also Penang George town and more! Also Jay (owner of Gerards Backpackers roomstay) comes around sometimes and will explain you everything about the nature and wildlife in Cameron Highlands! One last recommendation: Visit Cameron Highlands not just for the tea plantations, the strawberry farm or other tourist attractions, but go and explore the beautiful (and challenging) hiking trails! Its free and the best experience you'll find.
