What recent reviews say
Guests consistently praise the owner Mr. Kien and staff for genuine hospitality, from late-night check-ins to arranging travel logistics and border-crossing advice. Rooms and common areas are clean and comfortable; the location walking distance to Gua Kelam is a major draw. Minor housekeeping issues (dust, wall spots, toilet odour) were noted once, but overall the peaceful riverside setting and friendly atmosphere make it good value for Perlis travellers.

Gua Kelam Chalet
4.5(166)✓ Google-verified
Gua Kelam Chalet delivers a comfortable stay in a peaceful location near Perlis attractions, with clean rooms, friendly staff, and entertainment amenities. However, karaoke noise control remains a recurring issue; several guests report late-night disturbances that management struggled to stop, despite clear 10 p.m. cutoff policies. Compensation offered for disrupted stays was modest.
