What recent reviews say

Eight of ten reviews award five stars; guests consistently praise the clean rooms, comfortable air-conditioned spaces, and responsive owner. The swimming pool overlooking paddy fields and the village setting draw repeat visits. Upsides include good value and location near cafes and attractions. Minor downsides are slow upstairs WiFi, low water pressure, and stairs too steep for older guests.

A spacious, clean house in Kangar with a flexible host willing to accommodate late checkout requests. All three reviews are five-star, though the sample is small.

Budget-friendly place in Kangar with a welcoming owner who stocks basic kitchen supplies and keeps things tidy. The building is old and shows it, so book here for practicality and value, not for a modern look.
