The Sanduk Homestay

What a nice homestay, run by wonderful people!! An early check in and breakfast after the busride from Makassar to Rantepao! Options are offered for scooter rental, guide to the area and a ceremony, transportation to Rantepao city. Breakfast more than oké!

Highly recommended! I have never experienced so much helpfulness anywhere else. The accommodation is clean, in a good location, in a nice environment. The owner and his whole family are extremely friendly. They are always ready to help with anything: organizing tours, getting to know the area, information about culture and anything else. I thank Ibrahim for everything, without whom my stay would not have been so good

We were very sick during our stay and the owner went above and beyond to make sure we were fed and OK. He was so nice!! He helped us with scooters and bus tickets too. Bed very big, spacious room, beautiful setting. Clean.

This time of year the electricity goes out 4 hours each day- it was inconvenient for us but that's only because we were sick and hot and relying on the fan!

The staff and the cleanliness, flawless. El personal y la limpieza, impecables.

Ibra is a great host, who could help you with all things and questions. It was a pleasure to stay at his house. The breakfast was also amazing!

Ibra is a great host! He made us all the stay unforgettable. He arranged for us the pick up from the airport, rented for us scooters, and also at the last minute visit the traditional Torajan funeral. Ibra also told us a lot of stories and explained the Torajan culture. The Homestay is also very nice. The big rooms with big and comfortable beds, the common space with a balcony and very tasty breakfast. It's a few kilometers from the city center, but that makes the neighborhood very quiet and peaceful, and if you want to go to the town in the evening, Ibra will organize the free transportation. I highly recommend this place for staying in Rantepao.

Nothing, everything was excellent!

Ibrah was an absolutely amazing host. He couldn’t do enough for us. The place was spotless, the breakfast was huge and room were perfect! It felt like a real family home in Toraja! Definitely one of the best places we’ve stayed during our travels. Thank you Ibrah for an amazing stay! We hope to return one day!

Nothing, there’s nothing not to like

The owner is very helpful. Picks you up at the bus station in Rantepao in the early morning, arriving by night bus from Makassar. So very very early check-in will be handled, if possible. I checked in at 6am and the owner prepared me a delicious breakfast. He also arranged a guide and a scooter for the same day so 2 hours later I was allready on a guided visit of a ceremony. The owner himself also is a certifies guide, speaks very well English. Just ask him in avance if you want to make some guided activities, which I highly recommend because of the background knowledge you'd get. The Homestay is close to the village center. Just rent a scooter for low money! It is clean, comfortable, breakfast is rich, always comes with some fresh fruits, eggs....Indonesian style or western style, just tell your preferences. In my opinion you get a lot for a reasonable price. Go for it if visiting interesting and beautiful Toraja Land.

No swimming pool.

Owner is very nice and kind. Took good care of guests, allowed us to use his phone to order take away food. Great common areas. Bathroom only shared every two rooms.

Ibra and his guesthouse is really the best! He was so nice and helped us A LOT! 🙏 Next to that, the homestay is really clean and the food in the morning is perfect! I would recommend this place to everyone! It's the money more then worth. Thank you so much Ibra for the very nice stay! Don't forget, he knows everything about the culture. 🤩

Nothing, he is the best !
