What recent reviews say

Most guests praise the quiet forest location and the owner's willingness to help, though some find it noisy from the nearby highway. Value is a sticking point: past reviewers objected to RM190 room rates, lack of basic items like tissues and refrigerators, and surprise charges for toilet use.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Reviewers consistently praise the peaceful, clean atmosphere and spacious layout. Despite highway proximity, guests find the experience calm and worth the price, with enough room to rent multiple units for family privacy.
