Family hotels and homes in Rantepao

This has been one of the best places we’ve stayed during our six months of traveling. The Toraja area is stunning and well worth spending at least four nights, as we did. Our room was lovely, with a great view and a perfect location in the village. There is a hot shower, and the food was delicious. The owners are warm and welcoming. We had a unique experience joining Taco on a tour to visit a ‘sick’ person and witnessed a local funeral ceremony, which gave us deep insight into the culture here.

Spotlessly clean, not a speck of dirt. Comfortable room, with air conditioning. Amazing breakfast. Laundry service.

the nice welcoming atmosphere the owner created ❤️ big breakfast hot shower

The location is perfect, you can visit the city center by foot. The place is beautifull, i loved spending the end of my days just reading in the balcony watching over the rice field. The beds are confortable and clean. The breakfast is super tasty. But the best part of our stay were Imanuel and Kevin, father and son, and our hosts in their homestay. They will always give their best smile and effort to help you around, and they have such a big heart! I compleatly adore them both. Imanuel took us over some places to visit like graveyards, ricefields, and funeral ceremonys, always giving us the best explanations of the traditions and advise on how to behave and dress for the ceremonys. The two of them made our stay so very special and authentic. I will never forget this amazing days in toraja.

I love this homestead and definitely plan to come back to see the ceremony in August! Together with Jansen, we attended four different funerals and visited all the days to get a complete picture of this process. We also traveled with him to different places (the work of a guide today is 600 000rph for a group of up to 3 people, and this is for the whole day, i.e. 8 hours minimum, i.e. the price is quite pleasant) and Jansen is the best guide you can only dream of. Jansen knows all about the traditions and history of this place, while he has good and understandable English. The homestay is wonderful. I spent almost a week here and felt at home. The rooms are very clean, smells good and beautiful. There is a good fan and it is quite comfortable to sleep with the window open. Also, the room has really good lighting and a sufficient number of outlets. The shared bathrooms are clean and, although I usually prefer a private bathroom, these were quite comfortable to use. Please note that there is a good hot shower on the ground floor, on the first floor there is a little old equipment that can work intermittently - hence in other reviews there are complaints about the lack of hot water. For me, this was not a problem, because it takes a couple of seconds to go down to the shower on the ground floor. A pleasant surprise was the breakfast, which included the price! I'm used to it being often just a cupcake or fried bananas in Indonesia. But here they serve toast or pancakes, fruit and avocado and eggs. You can also have lunch or dinner by ordering food from the menu at a good price - everything is very tasty. Hot coffee, tea and drinking water are always available for free. The terrace offers a beautiful view of the mountains and fields and it's just nice to relax here. The Internet was working smoothly and there was enough of it to work. Jansen and his family are wonderful people and thanks to them, I was very much imbued with the life and atmosphere in Toraja.

Hospitable, friendly family went out of their way to make our stay special. Large, clean room with balcony and nice view, delicious home cooked food, good contact of local guide, flexible hours for meals, good location.

We had a great time at Villa Bait Lino, Lukas and his family are very nice people and invested to make you spend a good time. The place is beautiful, you sleep just in front of the rices fields and the mountains. I absolutely recommend this place to discover the toraja culture. Also i would recommand Marco as a guide to help you discover Toraja, he is a very nice person, commited to his work and he'll tell you everything you need to know about the toraja culture.

Great welcome, friendly and rural accommodation. We were completely satisfied with everything. Mr.Aldi IS Very helpfull and nice person. Thank you.

The staff is very kind and attentive, the food is delicious and the place is absolutely stunning! They have a wonderful garden and very clean and spacious rooms. This was my second time in Pia's Poppies, I did not even consider going anywhere else. <3 It's easy to find and just off the main road to avoid the noise. Have I mentioned that food is delicious already? :)

The room and all facilities are really clean, we enjoyed the breakfast every morning, location is good only a short drive to the main road and quiet location. The bed was really comfy and good shower pressure. The best part was our hosts, Bella and her parents! Such lovely people it felt like we were a part of their family; they took care of us so well and were so welcoming. Felt right at home. Thank you!!
