I Stay at Singapore's Most Remote Hotel ($338/night)

[@en8718]

For that price... i would take a bus 30mins into JB and check into a 5 star hotel for THREE nights including ALL meals, daily massages .... and still hv change leftover

[@wahidpawana424]

For that price, that was really disappointing. At least keep the place clean. The management couldn't even be bothered.

[@rabbiter-v8b]

when you employed cheap labour that is the consequences that you get. seriously singapore has a quality issue with these cheap labour.

[@wahidpawana424]

Perkeja yang malas.hotel harga yang sangat mahal suasana tak menarik. Sungguh memalukan buang duit. Lebih baik ke pulau perhentian atau pun ke pulau pinang hotel lebih murah lebih cantik lebih berbaloi🤭 mungkin tuan hotel kedekut gaji rendah perkeja hotel buat kerja cincai😅

[@AmbientWalking]

That reveal of trash under the bed was absolutely disgusting.

[@jjsamuelgunn1136]

Agree. I think I can accept most of the faults at that place but the trash is a total dealbreaker. It's like the cleaners (if they even have any) basically just swept everything 'out of sight' every time and called it cleaning

[@roselynho7038]

This should be reported especially under the bed.😡

[@myoung1970s]

Wonder if they really clean the bed sheets. 😂

[@Joekool88]

[@snooppy88]

Honest opinions from you are far better than sending us there to find out ourselves. Thank you and keep it up.

[@matlim]

I think, in the past when there was a bus that goes to the various farms and nature reserve (Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve along Neo Tiew Crescent and Kranji Way), and stops/pickup at Kranji MRT, this hotel may have seen more business for locals and visitors who wish to see, taste and hear the green side of Singapore. Unfortunately the bus service stopped some time ago, and getting to this area will mean u need transport. It's too far (more than 3km) to even walk from Sg Buloh Wetland Reserve Visitor Centre near Kranji Way (there's a bus there that goes to Kranji MRT or Choa Chu Kang MRT). Perhaps those with a car and wish to experience the countryside of Singapore, or like to visit the Sg Buloh mangroves (7am-7pm) early or late will find this hotel useful. Anyway, thanks for making this video! I never knew there was a hotel there!

[@DarkFalconAnimations]

I found the hotel. It's called the Kranji Sanctuary Resort, for those who are wondering.

[@Paul-H-Wolfram6608]

Nah, it's ok. I'm won't be that dumb to pay $338 to be bitten by🦟mosquitos, i will pass on this.

[@fusioncrews5329]

eagles and birds of prey are also known as raptors! so it was basically an eagle spotting tower, which worked well!

[@leonardoh8724]

A nice and lively review, you are always so energetic in front of the camera. As a Singaporean, I do not know such a hotel exist, it looks more like a chalet. The hotel is a bit isolated but it a great place to get away from the city. You speak good english and it seems you have integrated with our singlish culture when you said "good leh".😊😊

[@V.I.P205]

Stayed here for decades and never heard of this hotel before. Thumbs up!

[@eye0807]

Bollywood farm restaurant was quite busy in the weekend when we went there a few years ago. Nice restaurant.

[@amazingrace238]

Yes nice food. But very rude lady owner. I was there years back and asked her if they have baby chairs. She replied no, take care of your own baby. I didn’t even ask her to babysit. This reply is so uncalled for. I never went back.

[@windsorus]

Apart from the resort, there are hidden gems around the around. And you found 2, Bollywood and Kranji Marshes.

[@bella7540]

Waa tq for reviewing this hotel. Been eyeing this hotel for some times. The concept is really nice. But for the price and cleanliness I rather go jb or batam for a resort feel..

[@blackdog1326]

actually not bad. i like the bath tub that you'll feel connected to the outdoors. very farmhouse style. definitely a peaceful side of Singapore. they just really need to maintain the cleanliness. also the prices of hotels here are very ex.. sad life here is already stressful enough and most of us can't even do a simple staycation.

[@HweeTengLee]

So relieved you guys made it home!

[@chenyinmei6466]

Oh ghib..as usual..fun to watch your video

Looking at the conclusion part of this vid, it seems like the moral lesson of going for the overnight stay there was to learn to be thankful 😂. I can feel your happiness coming back to home lol

🤣🤣

[@hermdude]

Instead of ‘feeling like you’re in another country’, with that price, might as well go to that other country for cheaper price, or longer stay 😂

Yeah, seems cheaper to ride ferry to Batam and book a resort there.

[@willie8452]

Thanks for this eye opening video. I know there is a hotel at Kranji farm area but didn’t know how it’s really like. This place was probably popular during covid… 😅

[@GhibOjisan]

Yeah I can imagine it being popular during that time!

[@RC-rp3eu]

You ve done a good job with this video. Entertaining and interesting.

[@g00nther]

This place has real potential. I like that it's remote and out of the way, and that there are hardly any people, and walking distance to the farm and wetlands etc. However there are clear areas for improvement with the hygiene being the most obvious. For that price, this is really unacceptable. Hopefully your review spurs them on to better things.

[@popcul8145]

Good say, Ghib. "Trying hard to find good things in life is important. People who try to find good things are positive people." I totally agree, man. If one is not positive or hardworking enough to find good things in life, I wonder how happy that person's life can be.

The raptors were referring to hawks or eagles etc

[@ezracerez920]

Was there back kn 2017 before they change management. Paid SGD 10 plus for a plate of fried Maggi mee with sausages and a sunny side at the pub which is the sole F&B establishment there. The karaoke at the pub blast until 3am. Cannot even have a proper rest.

Rise of the Ronin, so fun and underrated, basically a Rurouni Kenshin simulator lol.

[@AmbientWalking]

Really very ulu there. Feels like somewhere outside of Singapore. Really nice actually.

[@joesr31]

I think the price is cause of the private facilities and room size. If you compare with conrad, you'll probably get maybe a quarter of this size and no private bbq pit, sauna, etc. Agree that the facilities needs to be upgraded and maintained better though. Bollywood farms is actually quite popular, it would be packed during holidays and weekends, been there a few times for their nasi lemak and banana cake.

[@dawchamjunee]

I used to have staycation there often before the management change. it was much cheaper (it used to be half the price). The place used to be clean and well taken care of.

I like hotels in the middle of nowhere .. as i am also a car guy. At least now i know i can drive 40 mins to somewhere in Singapore 😃. I dont mind the open/non gated back yard. Its like Canada in the countryside. Plus, hotels with bbqs in Singapore 👍. As for the sheets... if i was a local, id bring my own sheets. Wished these were also rental possible .... driveway, back yard, bbq pits 😍.... better than condos apts and HDB blocks for Singapore.

I don't mind stay at that hotel due to many other factors like the special places with nature I can go. Places with nature quiet can hv self discovery quicker. Can wind down and irritable emotions can be erased. Away from Singapore, Sentosa also offer very quiet places to stay but more "dolled up".Not sure any organisation hv bought over for revamp. Hopefully many locals can go to enjoy it

Why the shower window on top is transparent glass still can climb, different than common sense? What will be the future plan as have carpark can park in?
