Toraja Bungin Homestay, hotel in Rantepao

Located in Rantepao, Toraja Bungin Homestay offers accommodation with seating area. The property features city views.

I booked the place months ago so as to come to see Ma'Nene burial rituals, which I could not obtain exact info about online regarding dates. (Turns out this is done at the discretion of each family and can happen anytime between June and Sep.) So upon booking a room, I reached out to the property, and Hendrik responded and initiated WhatsApp messages. At first it felt very helpful that he could provide some info, and also offers tour options. Some time later, I received a message from him asking if I can arrive earlier than my 23rd Aug scheduled date because according to him, "Ma'Nene is on 22 and 23 Aug" and that if I arrived on the 23rd itself I won't get to see anything as they only do it in the morning. He led me to think that by the 24th it will be all over. I changed my flight for that and had to pay an additional $150 for the change, as well as having to forfeit my return flight to Makassar to take a bus as there are no flights if I changed dates. I later learnt that there were 2 wrong info he had provided - Ma'Nene is decided by the individual family so any family can choose to do it anytime from June to Sep, and that it only happens in the morning. Once I got there, I learnt that there were families that have announced they will do it on many dates later than the 23rd, and I have also seen Ma'Nene performed in the afternoon. I didn't have to change my flights at all!!!! Upon changing my travel dates, Hendrik's place was not available for me to stay so I had to book elsewhere. We had not, up to this point, discussed the price for his tour. He quoted me a whopping US$150. (Most others never quoted more than US$70, and the official rate at the tourist office says it's 600,000IR (US$40).) I DID NOT AGREE TO ANYTHING, NOR HAD I COMMITTED TO GOING ON ANY TOURS WITH HIM. I checked with the other accommodation I booked into, and was quoted for the tour less than half the price of Hendrik's.

Authentique Homestay, hotel in Rantepao

Set in Rantepao in the South Sulawesi region, Authentique Homestay features a garden. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

We loved EVERYTHING. An unique place to spend a Toraja experience in the typical houses of the area. The food they offered us was delicious. The best thing was the people who run it: they are lovely and offer you everything they have. We felt in love with the experience. We felt at home and they treated us as if we were their family.

    Very nice people. The hotel needs a bit of renovation but it still has the charm and it is reasonably maintained (given the circumstances that Toraja has suffered a lot with the Covid in terms of tourism). Location, landscape and construction are definitely nice too. Food is good

    I loved the location with amazing views from the balcony of the property. Paulus and his wife were both extremely helpful with any requests such as organising trips around Toraja and event drove me to the bus station on my return. Breakfast was delicious also! I found it a great opportunity also to meet other guests travelling around Sulawesi.

    This place is fantastic and I would highly recommend staying here. Great rooms that were very clean. Great pool and restaurant. The staff are lovely. The location is a little out of town but that is actually really nice as it was quiet and peaceful. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Awesome banana pancakes and good food. Great for kids and we had a room connected to theirs which was great.

    Very nice staff! The first day I arrived, they already booked me a guide, so I could do a tour the next day. I took the evening bus, but I was aloud to stay at the hotel all day, and they even dropped me at the bus station! The room itself was very clean, the room is cleaned every day. Breakfast was good. Location very good, less than five minutes from the Main Street of Rantepao by tuktuk. The building itself is very high, which gives an amazing view of the city.

    You are standing right at the edge of a rice field with a beautiful mountain on the back of it. Lovely sunset from your coffee table. Room and toilet are spotless. Comfortable bed, comfy and bright room and strong WiFi. The owner and his son are incredibly welcoming and friendly. We felt like at home. Free coffe and tea, which is always super nice to have. No hot water available but they arranged a bucket of steaming hot water for us one rainy day that we came back soaked wet. Location is also great. Quiet yet close to city centre
