Lovely stay. There are ants and insects, but that is too be expected in this area. Lovely staff, beautiful views.

Communication was great, from prior to check-in until check out. We're glad they kept the place "rustic" and not modernize it. You will get nature, if that's what you're looking for. Thanks for a great stay. Will definitely be back. PS. This property is pet friendly

Tranquility away from the concrete jungle
Had a pleasant and most relaxing stay at The Dusun. Booked into the Perling house which was situated amidst the forest overlooking the forest reserve. The pleasures of being able to read a book accompanied by the sounds of the jungle is non describable. The only thing to improve is probably to fix netting at all openings as bugs tend to fly in at night while sleeping. Even without it, I would still give this stay a five star rating. Totally recommended for those looking for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Don't forget the bug repellant!

A perfect place for quality family time
What you see is what you get. The place looks exactly like the photo. Being so close to nature, the air is so fresh and cool that I had one of my best night sleep even without the aircon. My kids really enjoyed the pool and they like the dinner prepared by the kitchen too. The staffs are easy going and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay.

Awesome place for non fussy peace seekers
Stayed at the Perling Air. Really amazed by the ambience and layout. On the first night, our neighbour left their bbq food exposed, this caused a rat to run into our room's ceiling beams, thankfully it didn't drop on us. Breakfast provided was sumptious and tasty. Friendly staff who assisted with our queries. Our movable shower head was broken. Felt like it could have been repaired previously. Tip would be to minimise lights at night as this attracts bugs. Good to bring yr own lemongrass repellent or essential oil diffuser to ward off all kinds of bugs and fat lizards. Overall, we loved the private setting and the serenity of The Dusun as we treasure peace and tranquillity, unlike some overcrowded and noisy resorts. Will make a come back. Be prepared to drive up steep and narrow road to reach destination.

Good place for city get-away, but do prepare snacks because middle of night to drive out for convenience store is far and danger in dark if you not familiar. Dinner and breakfast is well prepared in advance, somehow we find the chicken rendang is very very very salty .. thumbs up for the Nasi Lemak breakfast.

Serenity of the property is satisfying and food is good. Unfortunately, hospitality by the host and workers were disappointing as we felt that we were not welcome by the host. I chose this place as I wanted a short getaway with my family and we thought we could join the jungle tracking activities early next morning after 1 night stay, but we were told that we couldnt join the activity as it will take 3 hours and we couldnt make it back in time to check out because we were only staying for 1 night. On top of that, the room is not very clean with cobwebs seen everywhere. To make things worse, it was raining and cold, but the water heater was not working. When we checked with the host, she just mentioned that they have to get the technician to check another day (not immediately) and she was not apologetic at all. We had our dinner at their dining place while many others had theirs in their rooms. When the workers finished their work at abt 7+pm, they just left the dining without a word while we were still having our dinner. Are we expected to clean the dirty dishes ourselves? We were not told. Me and my family felt that we were getting the cold treatment from the host and workers probably because we were not their targeted guests, while other guests may have booked for much longer stay. There are other much better place elsewhere than this. It is not worth paying for the price.

Stayed in (Traditional House, 1 Bedroom, Kitchen, Hill View (Emas). Down stair room was a proper room but up stair one didn't had any door at all. It was an open place which means you need to sleep with insects. They have 2 pool which is 3min walk from this room which is nice enough to chill but too many mosquitoes. Overall so so experience but I wouldn't recommend to my friends.

Both Emas and Sora have a bedroom and a loft. We have mosquito cream for sale when it's mosquito season.

Beautifully set, a true jungle experience. Staying in the house (Sora), it is uniquely designed. For a short visit this is a haven of tranquility. Pools are atractive and generally well maintained. Grounds are well maintained, and the staff friendly, helpful and courteous On the downside, the unique architecture of the Sora (open on one side) means it is uniquely exposed to the jungle and its insect inhabitants. Getting around at night, especially in the comfortable but trip hazard mezzanine flaw is difficult ...any light draws in the insects. The tight spiral staircase is a challenge every time. Although the house is spacious and comfortable its upkeep is not quite to the standard one would expect for a rental at this price and i suspect the more traditional wooden house offer as good an experience at a more appropriate price, and one slightly less as one with the insect community. Finally, my local friends were as impressed by the Nasi Lemak on Sunday as they were disappointed with the (no Nasi Lemak) the previous day! Overall it was a good weekend and worth the visit but doubt i would want to return

ホテルのようなところではありません。 山の中のロッジです。 だから良いのです。 テレビも何も無い。 食材を持って行ってテラスでバーベキュー。 森の中を散歩。 レストランではローカルフードやビールもあります。 少しアウトドアが好きな方なら是非おすすめ。 アウトドアや虫が嫌いな人にはおすすめしません。

クアラルンプール市内からは距離がありますが、空港からはタクシーで1時間程度、100リンギットもあれば移動可能です。 想像以上に山の中なので、普段とは違った落ち着きのある雰囲気に包まれます。 ヴィラタイプの宿泊施設はベランダと部屋の間に壁がなく開放感抜群です！ そのかわり虫が入ってきますが、部屋自体の清潔感はあるのでそこまで気になりません。 キッチン設備は一通り揃っており、油も用意されています。材料さえ持ち込めばちょっとしたパーティが可能。今回はベタにカレーを作ってみました！ 簡単に買い出しができないのが難点ですが、どうせタクシー移動になるので、事前にお酒や材料を買い込んでから向かうのがおススメです。 チェックアウト後はスタッフに頼めばタクシーを呼んでくれます。 地元に詳しい優秀なドライバーは、現地のツアーガイド的な役割を果たしてくれました！ 今回は3人で利用しましたが、5名まで宿泊できます。私はアラダマンサラに住んでいるので、次回はもう少し多くの友人を誘って軽く足を運びたいと思います。
