What recent reviews say

Most visitors come for escape: the resort sits on the Perak River in a quiet village with forest sounds, no traffic noise, and green views on all sides. Rooms are spacious and clean, staff like Jamil go out of their way to help, and there's a working pool, cycling, and fishing. But one recent guest encountered a chemical smell tied to paint and possible asbestos, felt sick, checked out early, and said management didn't apologize or offer a refund. A handful of guests noted insects in the rustic wooden chalets. The resort's main draw remains authentic countryside calm with activities, though air quality and maintenance in some units need checking before booking.

A quiet riverside homestay in Kuala Kangsar where guests unwind by the Perak River and enjoy fishing, fruit from the grounds, and home-cooked meals. The space feels fully equipped for a stay, though its deep village location means buying supplies beforehand.
