Best Hotels near Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, Semantan

Absolutely unique ”camp” lofts on stilts equipped with 5 star amenities such as pots/pans, cutleries, microwave, toaster, towels, blankets (thin & vry cold at night) toilet rolls and much more. Tree top chalet is 10m above ground level with spectacular view of the treetops and nearby gushing sound of the river. One can either bring food from home to cook there or order while room booking which caretaker will takeaway frm bentong town. Most importantly, this fantastic place is pet friendly! You are allowed 2 pets, they're strictly not allowed on bed and in pool but can be with you in the room. Also pls be responsible owners and pick up their poo. Meet the local guard dogs (7-8 of them) and their young puppies. This place is very quickly fully booked so best to book 2-3 months in advanced.

I was not placing too high a hope after reading the reviews online. But when I stayed there for 3 nights, I realized my fears was unfounded. Celcom reception was good even in the room. I can even have my zoom meeting and remote access my office comp with almost no lag. Wifi at the lobby is good as well for teams . All the staff are friendly and accommodative. Even the enquiry staff replies email fast after my barrage of questions as it is my first time to Malaysia after the pandemic. The rooms are very clean. Never stepped on a cleaner floor before even in 5 star hotel. The resort gives a very nature vibe good for a break from modern life. A lot of natural elements. The pool is great to spend the day. Food nothing to scream about given it is a 3 star hotel. But is good for a decent meal. Overall is a place I can go back and spend some time unwinding and bond with family.

Clean hotel. The room was small and the table along the wall made it difficult to get to the window and the kettle. Beds comfortable. Toilet was clean but does not come with a shower curtain. Ironing boards outside the rooms. Water cooler is also outside the rooms. The room only has 3+1 coffee so bring your own tea or nescafe. No fridge or safe in the room. The hotel is in a housing area and can be noisy if the zumba class is on in one of the shops. After 9.30 pm it is quiet. There is a 7eleven and a few chinese restaurants that open in the evening. An indian curry house is open during the day. Food can be a problem but you can drive to the town which is only about 5 minutes by car. There is a night market every night in town. No tourist attractions close by so this hotel is good as a stop over.

This place is considered clean. Just the WiFi internet is not strong. The bed is nice, air conditioning is working great. It's quiet at night away from the town area and still has many shops and restaurants. It's really convenient

Excellent location. Just a short distance exiting the Karak Highway at the East Bentong exit. The resort is 10 minutes away from town. It's so convenient to shop or go out for meals. Cosy Balinese style rooms, wood panels, walls and doors. The rooms are fully air-conditioned. There's ample parking lots inside. Receptionist is available 24 hours. Sadly missing, no swimming pool, and the restaurant is closed since the Covid pandemic. But since it's just 10 minutes away from town where there's plenty of good restaurants, it's no issue at all. Bottled water and coffee is free and there's a kettle, so there's always the option of cooking instant noodles or other fast cooked meals using boiled water, if you do not wish to go out in the middle of the night. Free WiFi is available but the signal is not strong if your room is further away from the reception area. If you have a Malaysian SIM card, reception is 4G anytime.

Title: Convenient Location but Lackluster Amenities - Tumike Hotel Bentong Review Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) I recently stayed at Tumike Hotel Bentong and overall, my experience was rather underwhelming. While the hotel's location was indeed convenient, with Regent Court Restaurant and several other eateries within walking distance, there were several drawbacks that dampened my stay. Firstly, I booked the triple room, but I was disappointed to find that I could only request one pillow. This was quite inconvenient, as multiple pillows are often necessary for a comfortable night's sleep. Additionally, the absence of a fridge in the room was a major drawback. It meant that I couldn't buy perishable items like tofu or keep beverages chilled, limiting my options for snacking or enjoying cold drinks. One of the most significant downsides was the steep price for a night's stay. At RM200 per night, I expected more from a budget hotel. Considering the hotel's one-star rating, the cost seemed excessive for the amenities and overall experience provided. On a positive note, the hotel's proximity to Regent Court Restaurant, TF Value, Steamboat Restaurant, Musang King Dessert, and Family Mart was undoubtedly a convenience. These nearby establishments made it easy to access various dining options and satisfy any immediate needs. However, when considering the overall experience, I would have expected a budget hotel like Tumike to offer more competitive pricing and improved amenities. The lack of additional pillows and a fridge limited the comfort and convenience of my stay. Therefore, I would recommend exploring other accommodation options in the area before settling for Tumike Hotel Bentong.
