What recent reviews say

Families return repeatedly for the generous pool, clean rooms, and owner Paksu's attentive care. Breakfast, outdoor areas for fishing and BBQ, and children's activities make it a natural hub for group celebrations during holidays like Raya.

Staff respond quickly to booking requests. The homestay suits extended family stays with multiple rooms available, straightforward pricing, and complete facilities including a prayer space. One reviewer noted blue-tinted water after pool maintenance, though the property remains highly rated.
