PIAS POPPIES HOTEL, hotel in Rantepao

PIAS POPPIES HOTEL has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Rantepao. The hotel also offers free WiFi and free private parking.

The staff were amazingly helpful … they let us check in early (4.30am!!!) and let us come back (after we’d left), to use one of their rooms to shower, after hiking … at no extra charge! SO kind! The rooms were basic, but adequate and excellent value for money! Very pretty hotel and excellent views!

Toraja Heritage Hotel, hotel in Rantepao

Toraja Heritage Hotel in Rantepao features accommodation set in the traditional Toraja-style buildings. It boasts an outdoor swimming pool, a spa centre and a fitness centre.

The staff were nice and helpful ... really excellent. The property has a very unique and picturesque look ... it's made to look like traditional Toraja houses and that made it a special experience. So we had a great view from the balcony (see photos). The breakfast had sufficient variety and was of acceptable quality. We also appreciated the fact that the hotel offered a free shuttle service into town since the hotel is a little far out (which makes for the nice scenery, of course ... no complaint there).

Rosalina Homestay, hotel in Rantepao

Located in Rantepao, Rosalina Homestay offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay.

Rosa and Enos are very friendly and helpful hosts. Clean room and nice (shared) terras. Walking distance to shops/ restaurants. We booked a tour with Amos ( through Enos), a very knowledgeable, friendly guide. I would really recommend him. Enos was the driver for the tour and he is a very good chauffeur. We also rented scooters through Enos for 100.000 IDR per scooter per day, and they were very well maintained. It is nice to drive through the area (but you might to get used to the traffic😉). Nearby the homestay (on walking distance) there is a very nice place to have something to eat or drink; Kanaa. The food and coffee is great there and the staff very friendly.

    You should explore the countryside and the villages. The colours and the views are amazing. People are warm and hospitable wherever you go. They are very cultural and want to keep it that way. The food is varied and can be delicious if you do your research before you get there.

    Rantepao is a perfect location to explore the Torajah area; Torajah is a mainly christian area on a mainly islamitic Island, with very typical ceremonies, often related to death and funerals. We took the bus from Makassar which takes about 10 hours to get to Rantepao, but it is an interesting journey.

    Most unique cultural experiences with memorable funerals and weekly animal market. Pleasant surprise to see so many churches in a Muslim majority country. People are very friendly and transport so affordable and interesting.

    Amazing and outlandish culture and scenery surrounding the city. Traditional housing can even be seen within the city centre. The scenery outside Rantapao is glorious, and travel with a guide highly recommended to discover the intricacies of this very different culture, provide local employment, avoid causing offence or excessive traipsing on private/family land, and because a decent map is hard to find. Take a day (or a few) in the city itself. It is safe and surprisingly sweet when you slow down and take it in. As in so much of Sulawesi, people are gentle, honest and kind.

    Perfect place to stay (better a bit out of the city center) to enjoy nature and explore the area of Toraja. The city itself not much to do except some good restaurants but a great starting point for excursions in the Toraja region.

    loved everything about this place - it is not fancy, but it is very clean and the Hostess is fantastic. we arrived late and she made dinner for us when we got there. The traditional meal she cooked the next day was also great, chicken in bamboo. There is a full bathroom outside the house with a hot water shower, western toilet and two sinks - very clean. The traditional house would not be able to accommodate a bathroom in the building itself. This is an experience to stay in real Toraja house - it is not a fancy hotel - but it is great!!

    I loved that this was Meskyes private home. I enjoyed spending time in an authentic home stay. I felt so welcome. Because I respected that this is a private home and not a hotel, we let Meskye know when we were out at night and our approximate time back out of respect. As much as there are guests, it is still important to remember this is someones home. Nothing was an issue and Meskye and her mum made stunning local meals. Meskye also shared alot of local knowledge. It was so tranquil and I wish I had booked longer

    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.

    Probably the best place and experience we've ever had. It's a bit more expensive than your regular accommodation but if you can spend an extra 10 euros a night come here, it's so so worth it. If you've been traveling for a while in SE Asia this will feel like a 5 star hotel. The host is so accommodating, her tour was incredible and the food is the best we've had in Indonesia. Hope some day we can come back here.

    The homestay is located in the center of Rantepao. The host family is very nice and welcoming. The rooms are simple, but big and very clean. It's great value for money and the family will make your stay very pleasant. Daude is an experienced and highly recommended guide. We did a one day "cultural-tour" with him and it was a great experience. We saw and learned a lot about the Torajan culture.

    We spend a fantastic time at Mama Tia Family. The family is very kind and helpful for everything. They guide us to discover the toraja culture showing us the funeral and wedding. Thanks to Yansen for his explanation and for being happy all the time 😃 They also have scooter and can come to pick you up from your bus when you arrive at Rantepao. I really recommend this homestay Thank you again

    The owner is wonderful: full of energy, efficient, a great cook, and clearly a true professional, trained in Bali, with many years experience. The homestay room and food is more like a hotel than a homestay. (The building common areas are not at the same level as the fabulous rooms, but that's not a problem as they are still better than many homestays.)

    SARAH, the owner, is amazing. If you stay anywhere else in Rantepao you have dropped the ball. I real homestay and felt like party of the FAM. Especially, making dinner with CHEF Melissa. I got the Sambal recipe I have been looking for! There is a reason the Lonely Planet highlights the Castle for Toraja! Don’t stay anywhere else!!!!
