As we traveled to the Cameron Highland on Saturday we had to deal with higher prices and fully booked hotels. Bala's Chalet are charming but old and to take a shower is a fight, as the warm water is coming and going (in the Highlands is not so warm). You are immersed in the nature, which is lovely. However RM... More

Specially went here to taste the scones and English tea set.. The place is very private.. Very nicely designed with the nature theme and flowers all over the place. Feel very close to nature at this place. Ordered set of scones with tea. It cost me RM22.50.. That was quit expensive for 2 pcs of scones and a cup of... More

I don't know why this place has a lot of bad reviews. Sure, the place is old, but i think it is one of the most charming resorts in Cameron. We stayed there for 2 nights. The prices are a bit high, yes, but the other charming chalets like Lakehouse and The Smokehouse are way more expensive. The other hotels... More

We booked based on a reference in the Insight guidebook for Malaysia. I wish I'd read here first. The negative reviews are all correct. The place looks nice from the outside and has a lot of little nooks and corners. I was excited to let my kids play and discover there. However, on the first evening when we came back... More

Sad to say for such nice location, but stay away if you value your health!!! We wanted to stay for 4 nights, but after the first night we changed rooms because of the humidity in the room, but al the other rooms were no better. After the second night we checked out early to escape this place. Black toxic moulds... More

This chalet are quiet, cooling, surrounded by trees and flowers. It's a good place to get away from a crowded city. Me and my hubby always like to choose the chalets at the hill top because they have an attic for my children to claim up to count on the Stars. So that, me and my hubby and enjoy a... More

Close to nature, beautiful exterior BUT musky, dank and scary in the rooms, was waiting for the walls to cave in, spiders to crawl out and freddy from nitemare to jump out! To top it off, staff reminded me of the walking dead. Service with a bite. Tea was ok, scones were not served with clotted cream. Stay away.

Stayed here with my wife and three children, plus my parents for three nights. The location is pleasant but the hotel is very overpriced. For two rooms we paid RM700 per night and breakfast was not included. My parents ate one evening meal there and it was also very expensive and not very good. Look at a differnet hotel!
