What recent reviews say

Families appreciate the pools and calm setting near Sunway Carnival, with several noting recent improvements in 2024. The owner draws mixed feedback: some praise warmth, others find them dismissive. Rooms are comfortable when maintained, but complaints span clogged sinks, dusty fans, missing cooking gear, and safety hazards left unrepaired despite payment. Pool cleanliness varies; maintenance remains the sticking point.

Guests consistently praise the house's size, cleanliness, and well-equipped kitchen, with many returning because children enjoy the dedicated play area. The owner is responsive and friendly, and prices feel fair, though parking is snug for larger groups. Reviewers highlight suitability for families, office workers, and groups up to 15 people. The property sits close to the city with rice field views; extra mattresses, towels, and quality appliances come as standard. One recurring minor friction point is limited parking space.

Strong repeat guest base drawn by cleanliness, comfort, and a welcoming owner known as Paksu Jan. All rooms now have air conditioning; water pressure is reliable and the village location offers easy Penang access.
