Most stays deliver comfort, cleanliness, and a quiet village atmosphere with rice-field views ideal for families and groups. The pool, outdoor dining, and Muslim-friendly touches draw repeat visitors. One severe complaint about poor cleaning and overcrowding from nine months ago contrasts sharply with recent five-star reviews, suggesting recent improvements or renovations mentioned in older feedback.

Five of six reviewers rate this homestay one star, citing pervasive dust, broken doors and appliances, and slow deposit refunds that took weeks. One guest praised the spacious rooms, strong air conditioning, and low nightly rate (RM130), but majority experiences align against the property's maintenance and guest service standards.
