Location is the only reason you would stay here. It is as close to nature as you can get without having to drive or hike for hours. Extremely peaceful, staff is fantastic. Highly recommend staying here.

Relaxing getaway up high in the mountains.
Amazing experience. Unfortunately weather was not but we made the best of it and still had a great time. It's a very relaxing place and built to feel that way. You're in the mountains in Malaysia so there are some bugs and animals. But not anything to worry about. Our host was nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Et resort i særklasse
Træk stikket ud og træk vejret dybt ind. Du kommer til at bo i din helt egen hytte med en unik udsigt enten til solopgang eller solnedgang, i et fantastisk Resort med sjæl og de sødeste ansatte.
Morgenmaden er fin og amerikansk, og aftensmaden er kortrejst og autentisk. Aftensmaden er dog urimelig dyr i forhold til malaysiske forhold (8-10x dyrere).
Udsigten og poolområdet er dog så skønt, at et ophold her anbefales fuldt ud.
Det anbefales at være i bil, da stedet er svært at komme fra og til uden.

Beautiful oasis on the hill
Although a little isolated this was a great spot to just relax for a few days. Staff were fabulous. Food was excellent and the renovated rice barns make great accommodation. Good walking trail and easy acces to tours and guided hikes if required.

Serenity Central
An absolutely beautiful setting offering total relaxation and calmness. Surronding by nature with stunning vistas, the well design hotel grounds provided enough areas to explore and capture in pictures.The friendly and helpful staff ensured that all your needs are met.

A real relaxing getaway
If you want a real relaxing retreat then Malihom Private Estate is the place for you! I would probably recommend no more than 2 nights as you are not likely to leave the place once you are there as it is a bit tricky going to and from. I suggest you take some snacks (including drinks), as there is no vending machine or shop to purchase from. We did get served beer by the pool which was nice.
Lunch and dinner need to be ordered by a certain time (check with staff) and the main is a choice of about 5 dishes, but you get a starter, soup and dessert as well (all for a set price). As breakfast is included, we decided to have this late, skip lunch and have an early dinner. The food was very nice, the barns are very quaint and nice and clean, the staff are very friendly and the view is sensational!
We loved our 'retreat' before the hustle and bustle of the busy touristy places and will definitely do this again!
One piece of advice, don't get the taxi or driver to drive to the top, instead ring the number at the bottom of the hill on the sign and leave it to the expert staff to tackle the windy, skinny road up and down the hill... this is from first hand experience that our taxi driver will never forget!

Perfect secluded stay.
The views are amazing, the staff pay close attention to detail, and overall just the best stay we had out of three different cities. The trek up the hill is quite steep, but completely worth it and make it that much better. If you have any issues just call the hotel staff. Dinner and breakfast are delicious.

Absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely amazing I loved it. The drive up was a bit scary but once day I loved everything. The design of the bungalows, the sculpture, plant sculpture, gardens and the lovely shared spaces and bar. The pool was elegant and beautiful and everywhere and every angle had a new and beautiful
View.

Peace & Tranquility
Secluded, private, surrounded by nature; it's exactly how it looks in the pictures. It's a pretty narrow and steep road to get there, but once you're there, it's perfect. The staff members are attentive and super friendly, and the food absolutely delicious. My room was lovely, and had stunning views. The facilities are also great, ie. the common room comes equiped with a TV, library, games & DVDs. I had the pool to myself, which I loved - the views from the pool area are wonderful. Make sure to bring bug repellent, I got eaten alive. I would definitely come back. It's the kind of place where you need to be happy to do absolutely nothing
