All 31 reviews are five-star. Guests consistently praise the clean, comfortable rooms and peaceful nature-filled setting. The welcoming hosts Victor and Kak Jiwa receive particular praise. The unique property, with its resident animals (deer, monkeys, parrots, chickens), makes stays memorable and relaxing. Pet owners specifically benefit from dedicated rooms with outdoor space, while families enjoy a trampoline, library, and board games. The shared kitchen is well-equipped (microwave, oven, fridge, toaster). Ipoh town and attractions lie 10–15 minutes away. One guest noted that sound carries between rooms, so light sleepers should be aware.

Host earns praise for warmth and willingness to arrange home-cooked dinners. One reviewer noted the lack of views as a drawback. Evidence is limited, with just three reviews across seven years.

Guests consistently praise the spacious, quiet rooms and garden setting that feels more hotel-like than typical guest house accommodation. Owner communication is fast, and self-check-in is smooth. However, cleanliness standards slip between stays: reviewers report dust, uncleaned bedsheets, and maintenance issues like slow drains. Best for people who value privacy and garden views but may want to clarify cleaning practices before booking.
