What recent reviews say

This village-style homestay in Bukit Mertajam draws guests who love its kampung vibe and event-friendly layout, with several praising the friendly staff and affordable rates. However, repeated complaints about dust, overbooking (particularly through Booking.com), and poor communication when cancellations occur have soured many stays; some guests report arriving to find their booked room already assigned to someone else, with no refunds available.

  • friendly staff
  • beautiful setting

Watch-outs

Common questions

What can I use the space for?
Guests use it for staycations, weddings, and small family events. Reviews specifically mention wedding ceremonies and family celebrations held there.
If I book through Booking.com, is my room guaranteed?
Multiple recent reviews warn that Booking.com bookings have resulted in room unavailability on arrival, with guests turned away when rooms were assigned to event bookings instead. Direct contact with the owner may be safer.

Most guests praise cleanliness, space, and value, with many returning for business trips. However, communication gaps stand out: unanswered calls before arrival and delayed check-in details frustrate some. Thin walls carry hallway noise. Deposit refunds can take days despite promises of immediate processing.
