Why trust these rankings
960 homestays scored across Kedah
Coverage runs from Beachfront and Island stays, the largest group at 798 listings, through farmstays, family and group homestays, private pool villas and guest houses, so the rankings cover the whole state, not just the popular strip.
A 4.52 average built on what guests actually say
The most common praise themes, clean and well-maintained (117 mentions), good value for money (87) and spacious rooms (65), come straight from guest reviews, not host marketing.
Independent scoring, no pay-to-rank
Editor Janice maintains a published scoring method. Sponsored spots are clearly labeled, rankings are never sold, and every listing carries a last-verified date from Meridian Guides' monthly re-check cycle.
How the ranking works
One published rubric scores each business 0–100 from recent public Google reviews: rating, review volume, recency, sentiment, and profile completeness. No pay-to-rank, no edited reviews.
- ✓ Sentiment synthesised from real reviews, not republished
- ✓ Google-verified businesses clearly marked
- ✓ Refreshed regularly so scores stay current
