Most guests report dirty conditions, broken appliances, and an owner resistant to feedback. One older review praised affordability and village calm, but recent stays document kitchen odours, fridge failure, rodent problems, and the owner's hostility when complaints were raised.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
Recent shift: Recent reviews (within last year) are uniformly negative on hygiene and owner conduct; older positive review (3 years ago) praised price and quiet but made no cleanliness claim.
Guests consistently describe this riverside family homestay as comfortable and well-positioned for group stays. The Kurau River location and 8km distance to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort appeal to visitors seeking leisure and natural surroundings.
Guests find Gula Homestay comfortable and reasonably priced, with air-conditioned rooms and good furnishings. One repeat visitor noted the third bedroom gathers dust, which may bother those with sinus issues.
Reviewers value the cleanliness and quiet setting, though limited detail is available. The homestay appeals to families seeking a short-term base with basic kitchen access at reasonable rates.
