THE ROOM STAY CHE IEDA

THE ROOM STAY CHE IEDA

4.9(166)✓ Google-verified

Guests consistently praise the paddy field views, peaceful setting, and the owner's genuine warmth. Abg Lan goes beyond typical hospitality, offering local knowledge, sharing fruit from his garden, and organising fishing trips and kite flying for children. Rooms are clean and basic facilities work well. The location near Simpang Ampat means restaurants and shops are close by, and the small pool suits families with young kids. Reviewers visit repeatedly. The homestay appeals most to families seeking calm countryside time and activities, particularly during rice harvest season. Sunrise and sunset viewing is a regular highlight. This is not a luxury property, but guests consistently feel the value matches what they receive.

Every guest praises the cleanliness. Rooms feel fresh, dust-free, and smell good. Air conditioning runs cold, water flows strong, and every appliance works.

Amenities include a washing machine, microwave, Netflix, Astro, WiFi, and parking for two vehicles. The neighbourhood has food spots within walking distance. At RM200 per night for two rooms, guests say it offers genuine value. The interior is simple but thoughtfully decorated. Bathrooms are spotless, bedding is provided, and extra beds are available on request. The house holds three to six people comfortably. Staff are described as friendly and helpful. No guest complained about noise, odours, or rule enforcement. The business sits in a landed, strategic spot in Butterworth with easy access to Penang.

RumahKu Georgetown

4.8(1076)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most guests sleep well in clean, quiet rooms and rave about Joey's warmth and quick replies. The converted century-old building mixes vintage character with modern design, shared kitchen and laundry fit longer stays, and the Georgetown location is hard to beat. Watch for steep, narrow stairs to upper floors and smaller rooms than photos indicate. Book here if you travel light, value authentic over luxury, and appreciate a host who genuinely cares. Those with mobility needs or large suitcases should request ground-floor rooms upfront.

D’ Sawah Homestay (Permatang Pauh)

5.0(70)✓ Google-verified

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.
