I do agree with some reviews that it's overrated, but that doesn't make it a bad place. I had a 4 day nice enough stay (never eating in the restaurant because it's really expensive). After a long day walk around the astonishing rice fields or visiting a breathtaking funeral, this place makes a good and quiet hotel to rest. Definitely... More

I stayed in this hotel by recommendation from a friend. It is just a simple place to sleep after activities in Toraja. The room price is reasonable. I rate the owner as very friendly and helpful, very knowledgable about the area. The food is also good although a bit expensive. More

Very hospitable people! We stayed 2 nights. The hotel was fast empty. Triple is 55000 rb per person, double 66 per person. Breakfast is not included, cousine is very good. WiFi pay extra, it was like 6000 per person, we were surprised, no one tells before, and its only near to reception. You should ask to turn on hot water.... More

I really liked Pia Poppies. The room was spacious and clean. The windows looked out on a rice paddy and a garden and pond. I was constantly serenaded by different sounds. (Frogs at night, pigs during the day, and a few too many roosters in the morning.) Service is definitely slow, but the food was good and it was just... More

My girlfriend and I have been travelling for 10 months now through europe, south america and several regions of Indonesia. This was possibly the worst and rudest hostel come hotel ive ever stayed in.

We stayed for 3 nights in October 2010 as it was "THE PICK!" in the Lonely Planet guide. Interesting choice LP. Yes it is cheap, but twice as expensive as the latest guidebook states - Rp154,000 for a twin room. Local guides are angry that the updated version isn't reflective of real costs. The overall architecture is mmm memorable, but... More

Pia's poppies is a popular place to stay in Rantepao and with reason; it has clean and spacious rooms, a good spa and the food is very good. However, the place has its downsides: the prices are too high considering what is offered (compare to other places in town) and the service is very very slow. In general the staff... More

We stayed there for 4 days to see Tana Torajah and had a great time. The staff is very, very friendly and incredibly helpful. The rooms were big, bright, nicely furnished, airconditioned and very clean. Hot water for the showers comes on request. It was nice to sit next to the pont in front of the rooms and enjoy a... More
