What recent reviews say

Guests consistently report a spotless, fully equipped homestay where families feel at home from check-in. Air conditioning, washing machine, generous plug sockets, and a kitchen stocked with basic spices and cooking oil stand out. The owner actively helps guests plan outings and provides WiFi when phone signal is poor.

Minor friction points emerge: some travellers note worn mattress springs, a few wish for ceiling fans as an AC alternative, and the nearest restaurants require a drive through palm plantations. The calm, private setting appeals to those seeking escape rather than walkable dining.

Guests appreciate cleanliness and the owner's hospitality, but maintenance problems recur across stays. Rooms are spacious and well-located near Taiping, yet furnishings don't always match listings, water pressure is weak, and AC performance varies. Older reviews flag cockroaches and indoor air quality.
