PART 8: AMAN RIMBA’S 12 MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here is a list of questions that are regularly asked, and our answers to them. If you have a question

that is not on this list, please email us at [email protected] and we will reply within 24

hours,

1. Why is Aman Rimba called a private estate; is it not a hotel?

• Aman Rimba is called a private estate because it is just that – it is one property housing six

separate villas, available for booking as one destination.

• Like a hotel, it provides accommodation, F&B, amenities, facilities and a variety of activities.

• But it is made completely private to its guests; when guests are in residence, outsiders are not

allowed to enter the premises, creating a private and exclusive space for Aman Rimba guests

to enjoy the facilities to the fullest. You’ll never have to worry about meeting strangers at

Aman Rimba!

2. Do guests have the option of booking just one or two rooms?

• No, Aman Rimba is only available for booking as a complete estate.

• It can accommodate 20 guests comfortably, and up to 35 with rollaway beds, but you can

choose to have fewer guests in your group should you desire.

3. What is Aman Rimba most suitable for?

• One of the beauties of Aman Rimba is that it is the perfect canvas for a variety of events.

• Families choose to come here for family gathering or quiet getaways.

• Corporates use it regularly for senior management meetings, brainstorm sessions, budget and

planning meetings.

• We have hosted several beautiful weddings and wedding photography sessions.

• Car, beauty and other lifestyle brands have used it for product launches, media briefings,

fashion shoots for magazines or private events for their most valued customers.

4. Is there a minimum number of nights per booking?

• We have a minimum of 2 night's stay applicable for weekends (Fri-Sun) and certain public

holidays.

• You can book it for just one night for most weekdays (Mon-Thurs).

• We also take midweek day bookings for special events; you can speak to our Manager about

such arrangements.

18

5. Are there more options for food items?

• We do cater to different tastes, and can make special arrangements if needed.

• Our team of village chefs is very happy to accommodate special requests for kampung

favourites, provided the ingredients are available.

• We do however advise our clients of two things:

o The kampung fare that we serve is an experience unto itself, and not easily found in

restaurants in the city. So it is certainly worth a try.

o Any special catering has to be sourced from KL, which can add considerably to the cost

of the stay, as everything has to be transported in from KL. We have limited kitchen

facilities in Aman Rimba.

6. I am landing in Kuala Lumpur, and don’t have transport to get to Aman Rimba. Can you send a

car for me?

• Aman Rimba does not have its own fleet of vehicles.

• If you are landing at any of the three airports in the Klang Valley (KLIA, KLIA2 or Subang

Skypark), or at the main transport terminal of KL Sentral, there are coupon-based taxis that

can take you to Aman Rimba. Prior booking is not necessary, though you can do it online.

• Private car hires are available from many different providers (all available online), and self

driving instructions are available on the website.

7. I have a group of 20 – 35 people staying at Aman Rimba, but would like to invite more friends /
