    I visited during Ramadan and off season and there were no other guests. Which makes the place a bit quiet. Also its just out of the centre. If you're traveling alone I'd suggest you take something more in the centre so you can more easily go to cafes etc.

    The host is very kind and made me nice pancakes. He is the only one who speaks English. The room was alright. Nothing fancy. If you have a bit more money maybe book a bamboosa shack.

    Arrived late but the check in was smooth. Went there on weekdays so it was not so packed with people. The room is without any fan or aircond but strangely enough it was cold, maybe because its at Bukit Tinggi. Breakfast was delicious. 😊😊

    It seems that there is only one person who speaks english. We wanted to get some information regarding the area, but we weren't really able to talk to the available staff. What may look like a pool in the pictures is really not a pool.

    It is a clean and friendly place that also comes with a hot shower :)

    There was no sink in the room or toiletpaper. Staff is generally transactional.

    The fact that we could do a really early check-in (around 06:00) without additional costs was super. The room is small but the bed was comfortable, as well as the hot shower. Also the price is very low and considering breakfast is included, this makes a stay at Bamboosa comfortable.

    The beds were a bit hard for my taste. Its also v close to a mosque so be prepared for an early wake up call, I think you’ll probably have this anywhere in Bukittingi though, it’s all part of it. There was a large family staying while I was there, with lots of kids playing in the pool so it wasn’t really peace and quite but that’s ok :)

    The staff were super friendly and helpful, breakfast was yum (a little on the small side though). My room and the common areas were clean. The location is great too, short walk to laundry, good warungs and the middle of town.

    street noise, not very clean, no sink in the room to wash hands

    room is small which is ok for the price but it had a terrible smelling carpet! there are nice gardens around and the breakfast in the morning is simple but good. room closer to the street had a lot of street noise but we were able to switch. some staff spoke English. good value stay and lots of areas to hang out

    The house and garden and relaxing areas are very nice. From the terrace you have a view on the volcanoes, so cool. The included breakfast is very good. Free water refills, tea, coffee. The room is good with private bathroom. Rico helped me also to rent a motorbike to go on a 3 day trip and booked a bus for me. I felt very comfortable, also as a female solo traveller.
