Being the only 5-star hotel at Taman Negara, one would have expected a 5-star treatment with the accompanying facilities, amenities and service. Instead, it is a sad sad sight to see poorly-maintained chalets, grimey-walled bathroom tiles, broken shower heads, low water pressure, rattling-sounded old boxy-type of air cons .... the list goes on. And for the price per night one... More

The location is splendid. It's the only lodging actually within the park. On the grounds of the resort we saw rhesus monkeys, wild pigs, a barking deer, a number of birds, some remarkable insects (and one leech, attached to my left foot). But then there's the resort itself, and that ain't so splendid. Our room was in a "guesthouse", which... More

First and foremost this hotel is not a five star resort as it claims to be. In fact it isn’t really a resort as there is nothing apart from the chalets, the lobby area and the restaurant (don’t event think of a swimming pool). The “chalets” are basically wooden huts with air-con. The décor and furnishing is basic and rustic... More

This resort is at a fantastic location, right on the edge of one of the densest rain forests in the world and on the banks of the Tembeling River. Various types of accomodation are on offer - the dormitory, chalets, family chalets, chalet suites and bungalows. The resort grounds are very clean and well maintained. Rooms are clean and in...

Probably the most overprised accommodation I've ever stayed in! Dirty!! After few days there I came back home with some strange rash on my skin on the side I use to sleep (thus touching the linen). The rooms are dark, old, not maintained at all. I will never go there again without checking if they'd improved or not! There were... More

The sometimes optimistic-sounding comments about the location of this resort are all true, it is truly in a brilliant location. Most of the wildlife we say during our stay in the park was within the resort: monkeys, wild boars just beside the balcony, tapirs, and the semi-domesticated mouse deer. One truly feels at one with the jungle, especially in the... More

We stayed at the Mutiara for 2 nights and, as it was part of a longer organised trip through Peninsular Malaysia, we cannot comment on whether it represented value for money (although many reviews would suggest that it does not). Our room was large and well furnished - using lots of natural materials and the veranda outside was nice to... More

This hotel could be fantastic but it is NOT. We stayed there in february on a package 2 nights/3 days including fullboard and activities with -I must said seeing what we paid: great expectations-. Quiet lazy reception and bellboy service. Bungalows are old, bad smelling and besides...very dirty. Baths are not maintained and dirty. Bed linen...let's forget. We found our... More

The Mutiara is the best resort to stay in taman negara as it is the only one ACTUALLY in the forest......the food quality and variety is amazing and compares with most hotels in any urban city . however, it is a little expensive as compared to the other nearby resorts but with families travelling with children, it is worth the...
