The hillview has seen better days. Threadbare carpet, leaning handbasin, leaking toilet (when you flush it it bubbles up out of the pipe onto the bathroom floor) and a dancing shower. You know the kind, you have to move around a lot to catch the drips!!! We paid 160RM for a very basic room, definitely no stars compared to just... More

Hotel looks good from outside (ignoring the giant abandoned building project across the road). Inside the hotel was dated with mattresses that had long ago lost the ability to spring. Sheets felt damp and room smelt musty. Always a problem with so much jungle and rainfall but shouldnt be so evident on the top floor. Unfortunately our room turned out... More

there is not much to say. overall it was ok. maybe the rooms could be more spacious and the shower is integrated part of bathroom (but this is common in Malaysia). the parking lot is offered for free and we have had a small balcony (sharing with next room, but if your are open minded for meeting foreign people this...

This is a small cheap inn that stands a little aside from other hotels. It looks nice from the outside but inside it's old and a little depressing. Rooms are pretty spacious (depending on the type of the room I guess). Although, whatever your choice is don't expect too much. Bathroom is a sad story, space is hardly enough for... More

We were disappointed with the HillView Inn. It's in a nice central place just a couple of minutes walk to the bus station which makes it easy to get to most of the hiking trails during the day and wander around the small town of Tanah Rata in the evening. The outside of the building promises lots, but the inside... More

In short: Location good for shops and tours (arranged through the hotel). Reasonably good value/price. Wifi. Breakfast you pay extra for. Communal TV room. No shoes upstairs. Reasonably clean rooms, en suite bathrooms reasonably good, hot water good, no bed bugs. Sleep is subjective, personally, I’ve had better. Reception not the friendliest. Overall impression - lacklustre place in need of... More

This could be a really neat place with a bit of work and new owners. Why I wasn't satisfied: ripped sheets and blanket, dirty blanket, room carpet in desperate need of a vacuum, seriously unfriendly owners, dusty furniture. What was good: beautiful grounds, nice balcony, large room, decent mattress. I’m not one to complain about the cleanliness of hotels and... More

located in the Tanah Rata town center so its very convenient. Very simple and basic accommodation. The room is very clean and very well maintained, with attached bathroom and a balcony. No shoes are allowed inside the guest house so you have to take it off and put at the shoe rack at the lobby. There is no TV in... More

Best described as a cross between a guest house and a youth hostel, fairly basic rooms, but resaonably clean, some with balconies ( if the weather allows you to use them!). OK for a short stay, as is Tanah Rata. The owner seems to operate in a style that is very laid back , which may suit some people, but... More
