My stay at Father's was just awesome - it was a really cosy home far away from home! The rooms are excellent, super clean and spacious. Lots of great common areas inside and outside and as much coffee and tea as you might drink. Very, very friendly and so helpful staff! Two minute walk from the main street with shops/restaurants/post/laundry/ATM.... More

Don't consider Father's Guesthouse as a hostel, but more as a backpackers hotel. The staff is super friendly, helpful and relaxed. Accomodation is clean, spotless and modern! Location: 5 minute walk to the center. Another big pro of this guesthouse, is the tours they offer. We took a 5hrs guided hike to a tea plantation, and the guide was top... More

Fathers is great. Nice people, good service, they are willing to help you having a nice stay in Cameron highlands. All maps of the trails are on the walls. There is also a place to dry your laundry in the garden

Just a few minutes walk from the main town and beautiful grounds make this a great place to stay. Most hostels just provide a place to sleep, but the beautiful property here really makes a difference. This is a quiet place to stay and an excellent choice.

Arriving at Fathers, is just a 2 minute walk from the main town. We chose a double room which was excellent. Clean, comfortable and affordable! Free wifi is always a bonus and they have it here throughout the buildings and grounds. They also have excellent links with local tours (mossy tour was brilliant). Overall perfect for couples and very welcoming... More

I had my eye on this place before I arrived into the highlands and so far I hadn't booked any accommodation and had been okay. I arrived when it was pretty late and dark but luckily the staff were really helpful and had one bed for me. There was no fuss showing me to my room and they even introduced... More

We had originally booked into the sister property Gerard's, the reviews for Gerards looked more appropriate for our needs than Fathers. Unfortunately Gerards was closed unexpectedly for the week we booked and they moved our booking. We were given a downstairs room that was quite cramped with the extra mattress for our teen. It was also very noisy at night... More

We booked this guest house online purely due to its cheap dorm rooms. We arrived and fell in love. The whole place is clean and tidy. The dorm room had the comfiest beds and excellent facilities. The hot shower and hair driers for me who's been travelling for 3 months was a treat! There are lovely communal chill out areas... More

We chose Fathers due to its reviews. The best thing about the guesthouse are the helpful staff. We arrived during school holidays so paid 20MR on top of normal room prices for a double with shared bathroom (90MR a night). More than we would normally spend on accommodation as backpackers. The room was clean and pleasant. The staff were not... More

We had a fantastic stay at Father's guesthouse. Valerie and Bella welcomed us and looked after us well. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and overall the place had a lovely friendly feel to it. It is also perfectly located for the town with some great little restaurants very close and an excellent starting point for the local treks.... More
