Traveller Bunker Hostel

Very good location in the middle of town and grab is available to get you to wherever you want to go in cameron highlands for a cheap cost. Clean beds and bathrooms. We had a six person female dorm and it was lovely. All the girls were friendly and we became friends and ate together at night. The staff were friendly and helped us with tours around the highlands and recommendations for food around the area. They always said goodnight and good morning when you left your room and could understand english perfectly fine. The rooms were not very quiet and you could hear people outside in the street when they were opening up their shops in the morning and closing them at night. Although the hostel had free ear plugs in the reception which you could take and it wasn’t that much of a problem.

Stayed for 2 nights in family room. Advertised with "Free Parking" but they lied, there was no free parking instead roadside parking which you have to find available parking spot and pay. No towels provided, no elevator, hard mattresses, dirty and dusty below the bed, stains on pillow and bed sheets. Worst of all our room was just beside reception area and at 11.30pm, a group of people playing poker cards loudly infront of the reception area. Lady at reception never say hello or thank you. Worst still, she never even apologise after we shown that our booking shown "Free Parking" instead, she just say "we will check" but after 2 nights, no reply from her. They then changed the advertisement on Agoda to "Free Wifi, Parking" which was convenient. Don't be fooled by "family room", this place is definitely not suitable for family. You can get a better place or even an entire apartment for that kind of price. Totally disgusted.

One of the cheaper options in Cameron Highlands. The hostel is quite clean and the beds are comfortable. There is a light, fan, socket and shelf in each bed with a curtain to enable privacy. You are not provided with free towels or shower products, but you can rent towels for 5 ringgit. The shower in our room was temperamental and was sometimes very cold or had no water pressure, but it was ok for the most part. Wi-Fi worked excellently throughout the whole hostel which is great. There is a public fridge available for use and the hostel offers laundry for 18 ringgit for 3kg (we didn’t use this as it is cheaper to do self service nearby). The location is perfect and it’s very close to the limited number of shops and restaurants in Tanah Rata. You can also book tours through the hostel and there is walking tours every day. The staff are ok but reinforce rules about housekeeping very firmly, a bit too ‘school like’ for me, but understandable to try and keep the hostel clean and quiet. Overall, a good budget stay but I’m glad we didn’t have to spend more than 3 nights, but perfect for backpackers on a budget.

good location. walking distance to the bus station. room was really clean. the bed wasn’t very comfortable. could feel all the springs. walls are too thin. can hear all the people in the common areas. they have organized tours and some other activities available. wifi was poor in my room. other hostels provide towels if you book a private room but this one didn’t.

I stayed at Traveller Bunker Hostel for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The hostel is clean, well-maintained, and the staff are really friendly and helpful, making the stay comfortable and welcoming. The location is great for exploring Cameron Highlands. It is close to the main market where you can shop for fresh strawberries, local vegetables, and souvenirs. There are also plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby to try local dishes. If you enjoy walking, you can easily reach attractions like the Mossy Forest, BOH Tea Centre, and various strawberry farms within a short drive. Overall, it’s a perfect option for solo travelers or anyone looking for budget-friendly accommodation with easy access to the main sights of Cameron Highlands. I would definitely stay here again.

Great hostel to do highlands tour from, good sociable vibe and perfectly situated with loads of restaurants around. Ensuite bathrooms to dorms which some might dislike but didn’t bother me!

A lot of Problems: no water pressure in the shower, mold in bathroom, cockroach in the bedroom, no water in the bathroom after midnight, therefore I could not wash my hands after toilet (how frugal can you be?!) I told reception about the problem and that I want to checkout 1 day earlier. They did not care and declined a refund for the night I did not want to stay. Honestly I was just glad to leave!

Good for a short stay but the beds are extremely thin which made for an uncomfortable sleep. Had an amazing time on the full day tour around Cameron highlands booked through the hostel.
