Toraja Dannari Homestay

Practical location and accessibility, near main road which is good for transfer and transportation. Very uncomplicated to make early check in Clean.

Unlike in other homestays, it's not a place where travellers meet, exchange information, relax and drink a coffee together.its unpersonal , the room not cosy, very basic, Indonesian bathroom without a sink. It was very noisy during the night and the light in the bathroom automatically goes on when a gecko passes by I think, so constantly one-off.

The people were really nice, I would recommend everybody to go here!

Toraja Dannari Homestay provides all the basics you need for a comfortable stay in Rantepao. The location is walking distance from the Rantepao town, which makes it very easy to find food options and explore the town on foot. The room was clean and there is hot water. It takes a while for the water to heat up initially though after you switch on the geezer. So, make sure to turn on the hot water well before you use the shower. There is no sink in the bathroom, which can make non-shower activities like brushing one’s teeth a bit tricky. There is a small table, a chair, a clothes rack and a fan in the room. When I arrived in the evening, there was no one at the reception / in the house, although I had informed them of my arrival time. Additionally, there was no towel or toilet paper in the room, and I had to wait a while to find someone to ask for such things. The wifi password was also not provided anywhere. So, again, I had to wait a while until I could find someone who works there to get the password. I also though breakfast was included in the reservation, but it turned out that you have to pay for breakfast separately. So, make sure to double-check about the breakfast before you make the reservation. It can get noisy depending on your neighbors as the walls are thin. It can also get very noisy every morning around 4.30-5 am when the church uses loudspeakers for hymns / sermons. Around the same time, the cocks in the entire neighborhood start crowing very loudly, and they continue for at least a couple of hours once they start. I have experienced this in other parts of Indonesia as well. So, I don’t think Toraja Dannari Homestay can do anything about it. Just plan accordingly and go to sleep early. Loraine Tin was very helpful during my stay.

- everything clean - very nice owners - early checkin possible

- much noise during the night (rooster/ plus random music/noise at 5 am everyday)

the host super friendly and helpful, hostel really clean, has clean kitchen and location in the center of rantepao. easy to go anywhere

Thank you, it was a good, clean, comfortable stay, with balcony on river view.

Excellent, if you get the big room with a balcony. Clean, central yet quiet.

With restrictions the location.

It's not a quiet place, morning prayers before sunrise, keeping chickens around the homestay, walls extremely noisy. No space for a sink in the bathroom, the wall is not completely bricked up so light comes in from the guest room next door

Room is nice, kitchen is clean, bathroom has hot water, and the neighborhood is convenient. They are nice people. It’s all great! They even provided transportation to our bus station.
