친절했다. 배려심이 좋았다. 설사로 고생했는데 약을 주셨다. 얼리 체크인을 무료로 해주었다. 체크아웃후 밤에 출발하는 슬리핑 버스 탈때까지 쓰던 방에 머물게 해줬다. 슬리핑버스를 타는곳까지 자동차로 태워 주셨다. 배려심에 감사했다

샤워하다 중간 중간 물이 멈춰 당황했다. 2~3분후 물이 다시 나와 샤워를 마쳤다. 머무는 동안 여러번 그랬다

Super saubere Unterkunft mit allem, was man benötigt. Das Frühstück sowie das Abendessen war sehr preiswert und dazu noch unglaublich lecker. Die Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend und halfen, wo sie konnten. Peso‘s 3-Tagestour durch die Gegend mit Infos über die lokale Kultur war sehr informativ und interessant.

We had breakfast each day (stayed for a week) and it was great, omellete, eggs, fruit, pancakes, fried rice - plenty to choose from. We were asked each evening what we wanted and what time. Although Rantepao is a bit cooler than the rest of Sulawesi, the rooms were still pretty hot during the evening although cooled down in the early morning, we asked for and were given a fan so that helped. It was great to have the large upstairs communal area with free tea and coffee and water refill. It felt super safe, was just a few minutes walk to the town centre and various sights to see etc. There's a fridge onsite too with beer and soft drinks for sale at good prices.

We did feel the owner was a tad pushy to be our guide, he was knowledgeable for sure but we just didn't really 'gel' with him. Maybe just a personality mismatch.

The room was great, with nice windows and a comfortable bed. A good shower. Outdoor terraces on the ground floor and first floor. Anastasia was very friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend to do your research before booking any tours through this accommodation. If you read through the more critical reviews, a pattern emerges: the prices Peso charges are intransparent, his organization is chaotic and unreliable, he pressures guests to go on his tours, and he charges everyone different (and highly elevated) prices. An October 2025 review describes nearly the exact same thing that happened to me. Not only was I grossly overcharged, I was then accused of being “a problem” and “difficult” when a fellow traveler and I brought this up. Peso also told me and this fellow traveler to “stop speaking to other guests about what they paid, it ruins the atmosphere.” Wow. So, having been forbidden to speak, let me put some facts in writing and at least do my part for more transparency: Peso originally wanted to charge me 200€ for three days of activities, including cultural site and market visits (Day 1), a funeral ceremony and associated events (Day 2) and four to five hours of trekking through hills and rice fields (Day 3). This is way out of proportion for Indonesia. Also, transportation wouldn’t even have been by car, rather by motorcycle. Lunch was not included except on Day 3. The price did not (!) change once several more people joined my group — some of whom were paying the same high amount (solo travelers), others less (couples: half the price). I spoke up and opted out of Day 3 at this price point. Peso begrudgingly reduced the rate for Day 1 and 2 to 50 EUR respectively. I spoke to people at other homestays who paid 70€ PER CAR UP TO FOUR PEOPLE. So one fourth (!) of what Peso had originally wanted to charge me. In conclusion, please look out for yourself especially if you’re a solo (female) traveler and do your research! Happy to say that this was the only highly unpleasant interaction I had in three weeks of otherwise very friendly and spectacular Sulawesi travels…
