What recent reviews say

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.

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

Mayra Homestay Taiping

3.3(23)✓ Google-verified

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.
