What recent reviews say

Older reviews praised the spacious layout and cleanliness, but recent stays reveal significant maintenance issues: broken tiles, lizard droppings, mould, empty toiletries, and stained bedsheets. The property appears to have deteriorated over time; one guest reported attempted cleaning was rushed and incomplete after complaint.

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

Every guest praises how clean and fresh the place smells, the comfortable layout, and the owner's willingness to go the extra mile, like keeping snacks ready and accommodating allergies. The homestay sits near shops and restaurants in a quiet spot with strong views, and guests return repeatedly because the price, space, and service work together well.

Every guest praises the cleanliness and the owner's warmth. The house works well for families, with toys, good air-con, and enough amenities for longer stays near Ipoh town. Minor quibbles about decor and missing a water filter do not dent the track record.

Guests consistently report a clean, well-maintained house with a welcoming owner. The Ipoh location serves families and groups well: close to mosques, restaurants, shops, and local attractions like Lata Ulu Chepor and Gunung Lang. Air conditioning, comfortable beds, and a quiet residential area make longer stays practical.
