Hujan-Hujan Taiping

4.4(14)✓ Google-verified

Tastefully designed homestay near Taiping Lake with comfortable rooms and attentive hosts. Guests praise the location and artistic touches, but recent stays surfaced maintenance concerns: peeling pool paint that turned water milky, missing basics like tissues and hand towels, and safety hazards for young children including steep stairs and broken furnishings. At over RM1,000 per night, guests questioned whether the current condition justified the price.

Most guests praise the villa's lakeside location, clean facilities, and private pool as ideal for families and groups. A handful flag that the property is aging and cleanliness can slip, with one owner reluctant to accommodate extra requests.

Guests appreciate the location, view, and room size, but report broken AC units, poor floor cleanliness, and a malfunctioning auto gate. Maintenance issues need urgent attention across the property.
