Smiley’s Homestay

Đánh giá: although it's referred to as a homestay we were put in a separate building up the road. the owner is just interested in money. the first room was terribly noisy while the second room was still noisy but hot. the facilities are quite basic - the shower is over the toilet and the sink drains onto the floor.

Điểm cộng: Good location, breakfast, excellent host and travel advice

Đánh giá: The house not shown a full house.. Only shown the room in the picture.. A bit horror from front of the house.. nNot suitable for muslim, the room put the jesus.. maybe the owner is christian..nHave to cancel once arrived and cant refund it, because already paid.. n n

Điểm cộng: I took my husband and daughter to Smileys Homestay when we went to Brastagi and had the best time. Mr. Smiley took us all over Tongging and gave us several once in a life time experiences. When we return to Brastagi there is no question Smileys Homestay is where we will go.

Đánh giá: I had a great time at Smiley's home! The family is very helpful and friendly and open minded. they have a great knowledge about the area and show you many beautiful places you must have seen in Berastagi. cecilia took me to the market. she cooks incredibly good, self-baked bread, banana pancake, many great local dishes and we had always fresh fruits.nSmiley took us to his local bar, where we sang together and drank from the local wine.

Điểm cộng: Lovely family that organized everything for me from transport to tours and amazing food!

Đánh giá: They are very welcoming, friendly and helpful family. Love the food Cecilia served. I had great time staying here.

Điểm cộng: Smiley is a great source of practical advice for the area and extensive lore from his world travels and trades (carpenter, electric bass and sitar playing, etc.). He took us on a nice sunset walk around the Gundaling hill above the town. Later, we hiked with him and the ever-faithful Dodo to the volcanic vents of Mount Simiyak, with Sinabung visible in the distance, collecting sulfur samples and encountering Thomas' Leaf Monkeys along the way. (Bring an egg--you can cook it in the boiling pools at the top!) Finished soaking in the hot springs ranging from warm to hot to scalding. Best of all is the fantastic cooking of his lovely wife Cecilia--from fresh-baked goods and local fruit for breakfast along with french-pressed Sumatran coffee, to a variety of sumptuous Indonesian dishes for supper, including the best Rendang I have had anywhere (including Padang). If you're lucky you may get to participate in one of her English lessons she gives local students.

Đánh giá: Cecilia and Smiley were super welcoming and kind. She cooks delicious local food and gave us great tips for activities. nSmiley did a great volcano sunrise tour with us. Meanwhile there is a separate bathroom for the guests.nWe really enjoyed our stay!
