Gerard's "Backpackers" Roomstay No Children Adults Only

True to their words and pictures of the property shown in. Rooms are very clean spacious clean. Definitely not to miss to stay here if you plan our to Cameron Highlands. The living area has plenty books and beautiful garden around to relax. Mr Jason was also very good guide to take us to trek around the trails in Cameron Highlands.

A very nice place to stay . The family are very friendly . When I was searching for a cab to go to the busstation the owner offered to bring me . That was so nice ! You can easily walk to the busstation but with my suitcase it was difficult. It is 10 minutes walk or so going down to the center. You have a very beautiful view on the terrace . The only thing but they can’t do anything about it , is that the bed felt wet . Not really wet but bc of the humidity. Also a very clean place .

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it very relaxing and quiet. The rooms are a great size (we looked around when it was empty to can vouch for them all), the wifi is good, the kitchen and breakfast are brilliant (well i say kitchen its really just tea making stuff and toasters but thats all you need really). Jay (the host) is brilliant and makes you feel really looked after. Thanks Jay! We would highly recommend this place, and also the Japanese restaurant in town - great break from Malay food if like us you have been travelling for a while. Enjoy

I felt a bit violated by this place, especially after paying a 130 euro (700 ringgets) for three nights which is very much a non backpackers rate, the Heritage next door is cheaper and it looks less run down. The hotel style declared is budget, this is way out of budget for any local backpackers so I feel a little bit exploited because I though by paying extra the standard will be high which sadly wasn't the case. I am not actually sure what they are trying to achieve here, because the atmosphere is very much a guesthouse vibe, there are no facilities apart from common area with a TV and a garden. hey do not provide toiletries, the kitchen is badly equipped, there is mouldy smell in my room and there is mould in the bathroom, zero internal or external insulation (you can hear people urinate above you), there is no free fresh water, you have to pay for the bottled water and there is just nothing to do in 1km radius, you have to walk back to town. What justifies the cost???

We were staying 4 nights at Gerald's. The accomodation is in a very good condition and very clean and offers enough space if you need to work remote. The staff is extremely friendly and well informed about hiking trails, restaurants and everything you need to know. The common kitchen is basically equipped, enough to prepare snacks, sandwiches, etc. During our stay we had one minor issue with the shower. For us it was a bit tricky and it took a while to get hot water. Besides everything was great and I can strictly recommend to stay at Gerald's.
