제라즈 플레이스 룸스테이(Gerard's "Backpackers" Roomstay No Children Adults Only)

The photos do not do them justice. Truly an amazing place and awesome host. Do take time to chat with her. She is more than happy to give great recommendations on food and sights.

I felt a bit violated by this place, especially after paying a 130 euro (700 ringgets) for three nights which is very much a non backpackers rate, the Heritage next door is cheaper and it looks less run down. The hotel style declared is budget, this is way out of budget for any local backpackers so I feel a little bit exploited because I though by paying extra the standard will be high which sadly wasn't the case. I am not actually sure what they are trying to achieve here, because the atmosphere is very much a guesthouse vibe, there are no facilities apart from common area with a TV and a garden. hey do not provide toiletries, the kitchen is badly equipped, there is mouldy smell in my room and there is mould in the bathroom, zero internal or external insulation (you can hear people urinate above you), there is no free fresh water, you have to pay for the bottled water and there is just nothing to do in 1km radius, you have to walk back to town. What justifies the cost???

We stayed for 3 nights at Gerard's place with Jay as a delightful host. The stay was so relaxing and spacious with a kitchen and cozy living room and even an outside terrace. Jay gave us plenty information about which trails we can do and even brought us to the busstation when we left. She definitely was the highlight of our stay!

We were staying 4 nights at Gerald's. The accomodation is in a very good condition and very clean and offers enough space if you need to work remote. The staff is extremely friendly and well informed about hiking trails, restaurants and everything you need to know. The common kitchen is basically equipped, enough to prepare snacks, sandwiches, etc. During our stay we had one minor issue with the shower. For us it was a bit tricky and it took a while to get hot water. Besides everything was great and I can strictly recommend to stay at Gerald's.

Stayed a night at Gerard's Place. Note that this is shared accommodation in an apartment block and you only get the booked room to yourself, and other areas of the apartment are shared e.g. living area, kitchen, and potentially bathroom. The room we had was located down some stairs with no lift, so we had to carry our luggage. The room was clean and tidy but too small for two adults and four suitcases. Would be more suitable for backpackers or those with little luggage. We had a car, so it was easy to get around but otherwise it requires a downhill walk to get to the nearest shops.

Wat een top guesthouse!! De gedeelde ruimtes (keuken, woonkamer en badkamers) zijn altijd keurig schoon, netjes en bevatten alles wat je nodig hebt. Ook de kamers zien er goed uit en bevatten een fijne ventilator die we eigenlijk weinig nodig hebben gehad. Het guesthouse ligt op loopafstand van het centrum van Tanah rata wat erg aangenaam was. Daar bovenop is Jay de perfecte host! Ze is een enorm lieve gastvrije vrouw die altijd voor je klaar staat om vragen over de omgeving te beantwoorden of andere handige tips te geven. Zeker een aanrader!

Un joli endroit et une propriétaire particulièrement accueillante et serviable Jae parle quelques mots de français mais elle sait aussi et surtout tenir ses chambres . Service type maison d'hôtes sans aucun reproche à faire. A recommander sans hésiter

Dit hostel voldoet aan alles wat je zoekt in een hostel. Prijzen zijn goed, zeker voor wat je krijgt: een schone kamer met een ruim en goed bed. Een schone badkamer met voldoende ruimte en een fijne douche. Gebruik van de keuken is eenvoudig, evenals het lenen van bijvoorbeeld een föhn.
