What recent reviews say
Guests value the low price and peaceful riverside setting near Kampung Sungai Pinang. The homestay includes cooking equipment, washing machine, and fans; AC has been added recently. Heat and bathroom capacity remain concerns for larger groups, and maintenance lags in peak seasons.

Bao Sheng Durian Farm
4.2(485)✓ Google-verified
The farm delivers an engaging durian and farmstay experience set in Balik Pulau's quiet hills. Hosts share genuine passion for cultivation and varieties; rooms range from modern pool villas with 180-degree plantation views to traditional glass-fronted chalets showing age. Fresh buffet tastings and tours justify the trip for durian lovers, though local cultivars dominate over premium varieties, and off-season visitors find a peaceful retreat with Netflix and rental car flexibility. Transport is the real friction point-taxis are scarce, so guests book Grab in advance or arrange scooter rentals through staff member Melanie. Peak-season rates jump sharply (one guest cited $1200 versus $115 off-season). Breakfast is plentiful. One 2026 booking dispute over system error and rate change soured an otherwise consistent pattern of return visits and strong word-of-mouth.
