What recent reviews say

Mayra Homestay has dropped sharply in recent months. Two years ago, guests praised it as clean, cheap, and well-run with a friendly owner. Recent reviews (past year) paint a stark reversal: lizard droppings, dust, dirty bathrooms, and old bedding greet new arrivals. The owner admits to long absences and fails to respond quickly to complaints or refund requests, leaving guests frustrated.

Praised for
  • clean and comfortable (older reviews)
  • friendly and easy-to-deal-with owner
  • cheap price
  • good parking and space
Watch-outs
  • poor cleanliness, dust, and lizard droppings (recent)
  • unresponsive owner communication
  • old beds and worn facilities
  • pests (bedbugs, insects)
  • slow deposit refund processing

Think twice if: Guests bothered by dust, old furniture, or slow owner response should look elsewhere; recent inspections flagged pest and cleanliness concerns.

Strengths

  • Budget-friendly rates
  • Spacious parking
  • Friendly owner (historically)

Worth knowing

  • Owner admits to long periods away from the property
  • Lizard droppings and dust reported in multiple rooms
  • Bedbugs reported in at least one visit
  • Slow response to repair requests and refund transfers (3+ days)

Most guests praise the clean, comfortable space and friendly owners who live nearby and respond quickly to problems. The house suits families: four bedrooms, two kitchens (wet and dry), and a big living room make group stays work well.

The Halt Tiny House

4.6(47)✓ Google-verified

Guests consistently praise the clean interiors, responsive owner, and photo-worthy grounds; the pool and free breakfast draw families. However, persistent mosquito issues, poorly maintained BBQ equipment, cramped single-toilet bathrooms, and steep stairs create real friction for larger groups and those with young children or elderly members. Location near Kuala Sepetang and Taiping lake appeals to visitors seeking a weekend escape.
