What recent reviews say

Most older reviews praise the rural calm and Pak Tam's generosity with food, but the most recent guest (May 2026) reported widespread dirt, broken AC, cockroaches, and an owner who rejected feedback. The gap between past five-star praise and current severe complaints suggests the property's upkeep has deteriorated.

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

Guests consistently report a clean, spacious property with a swimming pool in a quiet rural setting near Lumut and Manjung. The owner is described as friendly, accommodating, and attentive; several reviewers say the house exceeded their photos and expectations, with simple check-in and complete furnishings.

One guest found the rooms spacious but the experience poor: air-con limited to the master bedroom, a broken kettle went unaddressed despite two days on-site, and no wifi or mobile signal made it uncomfortable. Limited review evidence.
