The Barat Tioman

We enjoyed our stay at the Barat, and thought it was good value for money. We stayed in a family room, it was clean and comfortable apart from a few ants running around. It was great to have a pool, but the pool needs a bit of maintenance as there are tiles coming off and the sides look like they could do with a clean. We used the sun loungers around the pool which are a bit hard but there seemed to be enough of them as the pool was never over busy. The restaurant had a good menu with a wide choice of meals to cater for most tastes including western options. We also walked out to a lovely local restaurant for several dinners, Almond Beach. Overall a nice place to spend a few days.

The food we found wasn’t as nice as some of the small restaurants we found in the village. The beds were very hard. We unfortunately are not hard bed people. The staff were all very pleasant and the resort location was the best with lots to do

Needs a lot of maintenance. Old resort . The snorkeling trip through the hotel was so great. Took us to coral island. So cool.

Decent property for the price. A bit far out but plenty of food nearby. Has a private beach too. Cleanliness can be improved and the rooms could use an upgrade (door requires locking from inside). Has a homely vibe and the service was generally good

The property is very nice and well kept. A bit more of training of counter and service personnel will make an experience to all visitors even better. The big issue is the village surrounding has way too much garbage, plastic bottles and others. Payment of fees for island conservation is paid, what is the money used for? A communal cleaning activity should be implemented.

The frequent power trip was a major turn off and the wifi connectivity was almost non existent. The pricing for the room was a bit overpriced as well as there were many other cheaper options within that area. On the brightside the staff were friendly and accomdating.

It is quiet in general. The air compressor and motor bike make a lot of loud noises at 6:00 AM every morning. This disturbed my sleep.

Barat is a decent place out of the other options available nearby the Tekek jetty(though it’s a 30mins ride on a 4*4) my impressions- Room service- below par. Rooms were not attended to properly. No telephone service to call etc. Amnesties- it’s there but dysfunctional. Water supply gets cut off, wifi almost always doesn’t work. Food- Nothing to write home about, limited options, highly priced. After the first day we all preferred to go other places. Barat gets good reviews because the other nearby places are even worse.

everything is bad

The staff super helpful and always willing to help… but the hotel rooms were not clean….the towels were so bad. The dining area was not clean and the cats were wondering around. There were ants everywhere in the room and dining area.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay, things that we feel need for improvement, 1. TV was totally an ornament, not sure you placed a TV in the room which totally not functioning. 2. We can smell BBQ from the balcony, so all the time we didn't enjoy sitting at the balcony even though we booked a seafront room, speaking of which this seafront room has plenty of blocking views, so not really worth to take this room. 3. The sliding door of room 112, which we stayed had serious issue, we cannot open and close it, it made huge noise. 4, Hope that staffs can smile more and offer real service (it is very different from the YouTube video I watched), especially in servicing line, every effort counts.

Lovely beach front hotel and fantastic staff. The rooms needed a bit of tlc - basic things like the towels were threadbare, the grouting in the shower room needed a damn good scrub… there were insufficient sun beds on the beach and most had been uncomfortably mended with wooden slats. The restaurant at the hotel was good but there are not many easily accessible other places to eat that were reliably open. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel had random opening hours the next two nearest restaurants one was open evenings and one we only saw open once in a week. The vast majority of restaurants in the resort were closed / rarely open (end of June/early July 2023). We would advise arranging a taxi to get you to the resort from the hotel who were very helpful.

the room wifi needs to be improved

Overall all of us enjoyed the stay there. On the good: 1. Checking in process was quick 2. Check out process was easy 3. Very close to beach 4. Comfy beach chairs and hammock makes u wana stay at the beach the whole day The bad 1. Bed was squeaky (dont think thatz a major factor) 2. The family room we were given was built on quite straightforward construction - meaning when my wife walked around the room, my bed felt the movement - because the wooden flooring is unstable (told my kids not to jump abt in case the whole structure collapses - thatz close to nature type of construction i guess) 3. 2 of the beds had bed bugs and 2 of them cdnt sleep the 2 nights they were there - we only found that out after we checked out 4. The walls were so thin we cd literally hear the family's conversations beside our room 5. Pool was clean. However the staffs placed a huge mat by the pool such that 1/3 was inside fhe water. Was standing in the pool beside the mat until i realised it was a mat due to the foul odour. We're giving a 4 star to this property because we do like the location and layout, but we hope that at least the bed and pool shd be addressed properly. If addressed we will definitely be back.

This is my 4th visit in Barat Tioman and would always return. The service, the lodging and the ambiance has always been amazing.

Arrived and saw no welcome drink at the drink counter and no staff welcomed our arrival, you just come out of the taxi and straight to the reception. After you get the key, pick up own luggage and go up the hill top. There was no hand soap in the dispenser and no labeling for body soap and shampoo. Room was ok. View was nice. Kettle, water dispenser, glasses and mugs is available but not much you can do if you don't bring your own tea/coffee and own stirrer. In-house phone was not working but didn't have to use it anyway.

Besides the poor telco coverage, everything is excellent to enjoy the beach and scenery here.

I’ve stayed at The Barat Tioman twice this year. I love the room, the amenities, the cleanliness and of course the friendly and helpful staff. Apart from having reasonable priced accommodations, The Barat Tioman also provides diving lessons and snorkelling services. The beach is always clean and they also provide additional beach activities for adults and children. Yes ! A comfortable place for kids too ! Did i mention they have waddling pool and swimming pool? A rooftop bar ,but unfortunately un operational during Civid-19. For first timers to Tioman , please be ensure that the telco services isn’t stable or strong enough - so patience is a virtue .. and it is an island life after all 😅 I would definitely recommend it to friends and family! I see you soon !

Nice Hotel & Excellent Service!!

Need to improve wifi connection. The line so bad even though they have wife
