In Reply to: I think LP books are great. The maps posted by Sal on Monday, 14. March 2011 at 14:30 Bali Time:
Once upon a time there was a great guest house in KL named Wheelers. I was in discussion with the owner, Szarzin, some 3 years back and I was hanging sheeeet on the LP stating how I avoid the recommendations and how the book is a scourge to travellers and I would never stay in a G/H or hotel listed in the book. He somewhat hesitantly stated that he was approached by LP (a guy who had just checked out after 3 nights was from LP) and accepted. He has to pay for the listing-this is true. I bid Szarzin a fond adieu and when in KL, and not in a hotel out Chow Kit way, I go to Matahari Lodge-take note of this forumers-brilliant guesthouse.
