What recent reviews say
Happy families praise the space, cleanliness, and value for 10+ people. The owner Yana draws loyalty from those seeking homestay independence, not hotel service. However, one guest reported overbooking (5 people on floors), misleading photos, exaggerated distance to beaches, and intimidating host conduct when issues arose.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

- How far is it from Batu Ferringhi beach?
