Toraja Lodge Guest House

The hosts are wonderful, so helpfu to organise guided trips(very professional)l, a driver, a motorbike or a bus trip to Makassar. Breakfasts very tasty and different every day. The rooms are clean, most with the view on the mountains Perfect view from the rooftop on Rampetao and the area. Really nice place and owners.

Clean big rooms, towels, very good breakfast. Good communication and nice people. 10min walk to the center. Nice terraces as well.

The noice of the dogs, roosters and church (4.30am to 5.15am). But I think it's everywhere like that in Rantepao so nothing the hotel can do about.

Breakfast sometimes incomplete, eg last day no bread

Tips for day trips and some more pro-active information exchange how to get to the intetesting places

Breakfast is good: omelette, small pancakes, toast, jelly, coffee and tea. We booked 3 nights but couldn't arrive on the first day. The staff was very kind to shift our booking by one day without an extra charge.

Location is far and drivers don't know where it is. You have to show them the way with google maps on your phone. They charge between 20 and 30 IDR. We booked a driver and a guide from the hotel. The guide was a Toraja but didn't tell us much beyond what you can read in a couple of pages on Wikipedia. The driver wasn't great either. Wifi didn't work well and was not usable much of the time because there was no access point on our floor. We asked the hotel for a ride to the bus station and they wanted 100 IDR. As soon as we said something they dropped to 50 IDR.

Great roof terrace with a beautiful view, over the mountains and the city. Nice people! They rent motorbikes too.

Great place with a nice view from the roof terrace, friendly people, good breakfast

Large room, plenty of closet space

Very bad WiFi, breakfast every day the same: omelette, pancakes, toast, coffee,jam, no butter, no milk

The view from the room and the common areas

The cleanliness of the first room could have been improved a lot. Then they change our room (without asking) and the rom was much better.

Very nice staff! The first day I arrived, they already booked me a guide, so I could do a tour the next day. I took the evening bus, but I was aloud to stay at the hotel all day, and they even dropped me at the bus station! The room itself was very clean, the room is cleaned every day. Breakfast was good. Location very good, less than five minutes from the Main Street of Rantepao by tuktuk. The building itself is very high, which gives an amazing view of the city.

The WiFi could be better
