Westwood Highland

The hostel is good for a short getaway, suitable for a group of friends who want to have bonding sessions.Location is okay.Only basic amenities provided. No towel, no shampoo at the upper floor toilet.

Amazing place with an amazing view! It is located at a flower farm which is owned by the host and his family. |Beds are nice and comfortable, the place has plenty of ‘chill’ spots where you can enjoy your morning. |In all an experience we will never forget! |Thanks you so much!

Amazing places with beautiful views! Beds are comfortable and best of all an amazing host! Troji and just family are absolute legends and know everything about the area! Beautiful place

It's a great environment.. nice weather Clean , fresh air and very comfortable Very satisfied with the value.

Beautiful, kind, wholesome!||||My friend and I stayed here for a few nights on our trip through Malaysia. The place has a great feel, with a keen interest in sustainability. The host Troji will introduce you to all of the secrets to the area that mean that you aren't just any other tourist. He showed us treks that would take you deep into the jungle but in a safe manor so you can completely immerse yourself in your surroundings. He was the first to introduce us to the Durian fruit eventhough we had seen it pretty much everywhere we went.||||He is a brilliant cook and makes great cheesecake and hot chocolates! The place is a little further out than some of the other places near Tanah rata so you may have to hitchhike like we did (safe but may take a while to get picked up) or there are taxis that operate too.||||I would advise any group of friends to stay here whilst backpacking or anyone who is looking for the authentic feel.||||Great hospitality and many laughs!

I highly recommend this hostel. It is away from the touristic masses and the location gives you a better understanding of the local life. The owner Troji is super nice and gives many recommendations for the region. You can rent a motorbike from him and explore all the surroundings. The beds were super comfy and the entire hostel very clean.

Westwood Highland Hostel is the perfect getaway for independent, nature-loving backpackers and travelers. While Tanah Rata as Cameron Highlands‘ central town and tourist hotspot is dominated by gigantic hotels and apartment buildings, the slightly out-of-town guesthouse is located in a quiet neighborhood on a peaceful flower farm. The guesthouse is flawlessly clean, designed and decorated in a modern way and has all the facilities you‘d need (fully equipped kitchen, fridge to use, washing machine, small snack bar including cold beverages (also beer), comfy beds,...). And of course, it has Troji.|Troji is the most friendly and helpful host you can imagine. As a young globetrotter himself, he knows exactly how to offer his guests the most enjoyable stay. As a self-taught barista he treated my gf and me to some amazing Cappuccini - something hard to find in tea-focused Malaysia. He invited us over for a family dinner, which was nothing short of the best authentic Malay food that we have had throughout our journey. He even took me out on a fantastic 3h forest-, jungle- and tea-plantation-hike. Born and raised in Cameron Highlands, he obviously knows the best trails in the backcountry, but also has great advice for the more popular walks like Mossy Forest. |Staying with Troji was a great experience filled with heart-warming hospitality. If you are seeking a warm-welcoming guesthouse with a truly wonderful host, Westwood Highland Hostel is your place to be. ||PS: While you might think that the guesthouse is a bit out of town, you need to know that even if you are staying in the centre of Tanah Rata, you still need to get to the starting points of the various hikes, tea plantations et cetera. You‘d need to get a taxi, book a tour or hitchhike no matter where you stay. For us, it was always the latter - hitchhiking is ridiculously easy in the highlands. Locals and tourists rely on it, people are super happy to pick you up and we never waited for more than 10 minutes to catch a ride. Go. On The Road ;).

This is 3rd time I been here. Before that go with friends and also with parents too. Host is nice & friendly. Environment is very clean & tidy. Saw host sanitized & clean the common area most of the time when guest went out. It’s a very good place for city kids to run around. Get wet, feel the sand & touch the green. BBQ area is super convenient to use & have good time with family. Thank you host runt his place so good.
