Happy people, nice and friendly. Personally I think it's a cool site to relax during holiday. Staying there has been a pleasure since it's located so well directly to a river and freakingly close to the jungle. It's surrounding is just amazing and peaceful. Houses and beds are cozy and very comfortable. Fairly I have to say ... I slept... More

This is a great place for a chill-out trip. Spent one night here. The owners are really friendly. So are their pets. The entire private b&b is located within an orchard, with turkeys, chickens, and pheasants walking around the free range. It's next to the Kinta River, which is quite nice. Next door is a family farm and a stud... More

We (2 adults & 4 kids) stayed over at the Roots during the recent CNY holidays 9th-12th Feb booked directly with the resort itself. We didn't want to put our hopes too high on resorts like this as it will normally fall short of our expectation but it was worth the drive. Our mistake was to travel during the eve... More

We extended our stay here from 3 to 6 days. Nice and spacious bamboohuts set in a eco-friendly and beautiful environment. Lovely swimmingpool, great for (young) kids. Very helpful staff. Breakfast is a feast; from cereals, bread, toast and eggs up to roti pratha, nasi lemak etc. Dinner is also good and they can do many more dishes than are... More

After reading some of the reviews from other travellers I was wondering if we had the name wrong of the place we stayed as our experience was completely different. We stayed 3 nights at The Roots with the first two nights in the treehouse and the last night at the back of the resort in a River Villa. The treehouse... More

The Roots was just a dream, everything here has just voted. Accommodation, beds and other Bedding and entertainment were fabulous. We will definitely go back there, it was a dream. In the... More

Fantastic, charming and memorable place to escape from cities and relax. And yet very clean rooms and environment. very helpful and friendly staffs. And select the rooms with Jacuzzi. However I think the bed is not very well performed, and they can use more beautiful colored cover for the mattress, to match better with the environment and room

First off, its definitely for those who love nature. Secondly, it's for those who love animals! Quentin the dog, vodka and whiskey are the cats that runs around the place freely. The 3 of them are best friends so to speak. There are some turkeys but they are inside a big cage and birds as well. I stayed in orchard... More
