Very nice and friendly owner, very helpful with organizing driver and guide. Food was delicious!!!! Very clean. Allnin all a very pleasant stay!!

We like the nice bedroom with good view. Manaek is a great personne. Her food is fantastic very tasty. She is very kind and smiling. We recommand her homestay.

What a lovely homestay! Everything is done with love and attention. A warm welcome by the family, fantastic food, lovely rooms with a spectacular view. And no noise, only the sounds of nature ( in Rantepao the mosk will wake you up early in the morning, or great chance there is a karaoke bar somewhere). Highly recommended!

This homestay was wonderful! The host was very kind, helpful, flexible and an amazing cook (breakfast and dinner). She organized a guide and motorbike, which was perfect for the 4 days we stayed with Manai. The homestay is located a bit outside busy Rantepao surrounded by traditional Toraja-houses, in a quite (exept the chickens) and green evironement - beautiful! We would recommend the stay anytime.

Amazing host manai . Very good location feels just like home .

Amazing food! Really nice view, room good

This is a homestay in the best possible interpretation (in our opinion)! The family has converted their traditional farmhouse into a nice little boutique hotel with a few rooms - all have big windows to enjoy the beautiful views across the rice fields and mountains. On the yard you have the typcial traditional houses to look at, while the rooms are in a modern building with all the comfort you need (own bathroom, wifi, shared fridge, comfortable beds etc.). Breakfast and dinner is served at separate tables in a shared area or on covered balconies. The food was always delicous and freshly cooked, the host ... always asked for our preferences and even our sometimes picky son found enough nice options to eat (just a simple thing like serving the components of a meal on separate plates can do magic). Every morning there was a different fresh fruit juice to enjoy, the staff was all very friendly and they all speak very good English. They were always around if we needed them, could recommend a wonderful guide (Mr. Anis) who we booked for 2 days to take us around the area, did our laundry before we moved on and overall you still have a maximum of privacy around the house. The place is a bit outside of central Rantepao, so you will need some transport to get here, but either you are travelling with a driver or you can get a taxi. Not an issue for us, as we were away most of the day to explore the area and were happy to return to our relaxing "home" in the evenings.

Nice and quiet location. Tongkan houses as our closest neighbour. Very good food at the homestay. Also walking distance to a few restaurants if you want to go out to eat. Excellent service with airport transfer and arrangements with driver and guide to get around Toraja.

Nice owners, breakfast and dinner are excellent, hot water and good WiFi.

Super friendly staff, food great, rooms comfortable, view stunning, privacy reasonable, location awesome, Couldnt ask for anything more!

The staff was exceptionnaly nice and helpful. The venue is pleasant. The food was very nice. The bathroom was very good. They were helpful to arrange the guide and taxi for us.

This is a GREAT homestay. The rooms were nice and spacious. Everything was clean. The staff was so helpful and kind, they even went with my mother to the town and helped her buy a new and cheap phone after other one broke down. The food was AMAZING, so tasty! There was also a guide that greeted us when we came, his name Yusuf, he planned a glorious 2 day tour around the area and we even got to witness a Torajan funeral ritual. The hotel also helped to arrange transportation to Rantepao from Tentena and then from Rantepao to Sengkang, the drivers name was Indi and he is a really good driver and takes good care of his passengers in the bumpy and hectic roads of Sulawesi

The room was super super nice! amazing views to the Toraja houses with little terrace!! super calm and great food! super nice owners. Would definitely come back!

It's location ...

Our host was most helpful, friendly. She prepared us tasteful breakfasts and dinners, always taking into consideration our wishes. The room was large, airy, very comfortable. There was always cold drinks in the fridge.

A very recommendable homestay! Manaj is great and cooks excellent, also dishes on request!

We stayed here for only one night before beginning a tour of Toraja. The room was large and comfortable and had the most amazing views across the fields to the hills beyond. The lady who owns the property could not have been more lovely. We are vegetarian but that somehow got missed, so when they brought us dinner it had meat, but she was apologetic, although it was probably my mistake, and brought us something else to eat in no time. We loved our short stay here.

As other reviewers have said , a very comfortable home stay in a beautiful location . comfortable beds , hot showers and a lovely view from all of the rooms . The hosts Monike and Geri are very responsive on whats app and helped us make a night bus reservation from Makassar and arranged for us to be collected from the bus stop at 5am. Monike really is a wonderful cook , extremely generous meal sizes too! they put us in touch with a local guide who provided an excellent overview of Toraja in 2 days including a funeral ceremony . highly recommend

Me and my friend had a wonderful time in Toraja, and staying at Rura Raya was the best choice! The owner Manaek is a lovely and warm person ready to help with anything you might need, and she is an amazing cook-literally the best food we had in Indonesia! The room is clean and has a beautiful view of traditional Torajan houses. Highly recommended!!!
