What recent reviews say
Ghumoh Safar draws families for its affordable rooms, on-site cafe, and working pool in a quiet riverside village near Kuala Kangsar. Reviewers often praise the value and peaceful setting, though recent guests report bathroom odour, insects in rooms, inadequate air conditioning, and pool chlorine strong enough to cause sore eyes and fever. Access road is cramped.
