I told the owner and he changed the sheet and sprayed against the bugs. I tried to sleep again, but the bed bugs came back. Luckely i could sleep... More

The only thing I can remember of this place is bed bugs. I had it all over my body from face, neck right down to my finger and toe. It's a horrible experience for me, and my first of such kind too. I was first not sure it is due to bedbugs until the last night when I got severe... More

We stayed at Yellow Guesthouse for 3 nights. 3 people shared an AC room for only 50rm/day. The room, bed sheet and blanket were very clean. Wifi worked well even in our bed. Have hot shower as well. That's more than enough in the jungle. The owner is extremely nice and supportive. Highly recommended. The guesthouse has a new website... More

Huge appartment with aircondition, ceiling fan, private bathroom with hot shower for just 80 MYR. No TV. Wifi was promised , but it didn't work. Very friendly helpful... More

Yellow Guesthouse is a few minutes from the river by foot. You walk behind the houses and other hostels as you arrive at the rivercrossing. We were very tired as we arrived. The owner welcomed us and handed over the keys. The family room was large for our standards. The bathroom was set up in a DIY style. But it... More

Now we had an incident in this place and yet we can not recommend it enough. After our 2 day trek in the jungle and our 1 night in a cave we came back exhausted. Unfortunately, we woke up in the night with baby cockroaches on our bed!!! it was 2.00 a.m. and we notified the owners. They were full... More

This 4 star review is purely based on the positive mentality of the owner and the warm welcome we got upon arrival. He stuffed us full of the fruit Lyches and was so proud to offer free wifi he yelled it to anyone close enough to hear it! However, since the reception and (i believe) small dorm part of the... More

Taman Negara is a place people go to walk & hike through the forest and see some amazing natural beauty. It doesn't really offer much else and the accommodation and restaurants there are all very basic. If you go with this understanding you'll be fine. We really liked the Yellow Guest House, it was spacious, clean, cheap and the host... More

We stayed here two nights so that we could explore the national park. It is with 10 minutes walk of the boat drop off jetty and located centrally in the little village. Kuala Tahan is a small place so you really can't get lost or have to walk too far to find it. It's a village in the rainforest so... More

First of all: the host is very friendly. He directed us to the most beautiful walks and places to see. He offers free coffee and tea. The rooms were clean and a hot shower, air conditioning, ceiling fan and free wifi were available. 1 minute walk from the river and restaurants. Do bring a torch (flash light) as at night... More
