The location is great — easy to get to Ipoh’s famous food spots and attractions, but still quiet and peaceful. I also enjoyed the hotel facilities and the overall design, which felt fresh and stylish. Definitely good value for money.

One night the basement carpark was full. Mr. Haziq at reception, he moved his car for us to park!! When I checked out, complimentary ride was offered to take me to the airport. Thanks! CON😒 Bathroom floor corners need a bit more attention! Room Wifi for our devices was unacceptably slow, same with the TV. The TV channel went on and off with the ”circle” turning indicating wifi is slow. Overall, I would recommend to my friends for this value product!!

Then my boss say yes have to upgrade so easier for us to discuss work. After we get in the room, we saw this little cockroach on the floor. And the bigger problem is the so called window is blocking. And because of this window, the noise from the opposite Bistro is annoying to disturbing my sleep. The basin is clogged.

The hotel is decent. They provide a complimentary pick-up service from the train station. However, the front desk staff don't speak Chinese, so I had to ask a fellow passenger on the train to help me arrange the transfer. Afternoon tea was also offered, but it was only delivered on the second day, which was a bit late – it ideally should be provided on the day of arrival, as many guests might have already checked out by the second day. The only other minor issue was that the air conditioning in the room was very slow to cool down. On a positive note, there are plenty of Chinese restaurants nearby.

Understanding the Weather in Cameron Highlands

The Overall Climate

The weather in Cameron Highlands is best described as a tropical highland climate. Unlike the typical tropical climate in the rest of Malaysia, Cameron Highlands enjoys a much cooler temperature throughout the year, with an average high of about 22°C and a low of around 14°C. This soothing climate, akin to a spring-like weather, is one of the main reasons why so many people visit this beautiful hill station.

Seasonal Variations

The weather in Cameron Highlands can be divided into two primary seasons: the **dry season** and the wet season.

Dry Season (February to April, July to August)

The dry season in Cameron Highlands is marked by minimal rainfall, clear skies, and beautiful sunshine. The temperature remains pleasantly cool, providing an excellent opportunity for outdoor activities like hiking, exploring the tea plantations, and visiting the strawberry farms.

Wet Season (May to June, September to January)

The wet season in Cameron Highlands witnesses more rainfall. However, it's worth noting that despite the rain, the weather is still relatively cooler compared to other parts of Malaysia. Even in the wet season, there's a certain charm as the rain enhances the greenery and makes the landscapes appear more vibrant.

Best Time to Visit Cameron Highlands

While Cameron Highlands is a year-round destination, the best time to visit depends on the activities you're interested in.

Preparing for the Weather in Cameron Highlands

Regardless of when you choose to visit, here are a few tips to help you prepare for the weather in Cameron Highlands:
