Guests value the clean, spacious house near Gerik's main road and find the owner responsive. Minor notes: living room can feel hot, and some furniture is aging.

What recent reviews say
Seven reviews across a year paint an unrelenting picture of fundamental failure. Guests report severe gaps between listing photos and reality: advertised beds are floor mattresses, promised appliances absent, and core utilities (wifi, kitchen gear) broken or deliberately unavailable until after payment. Cleanliness problems are pervasive-cockroaches, ants, mold smells, torn linens. The owner's conduct compounds the damage: unfriendly interactions, routine blame-shifting toward guests, and refusal to return deposits after inventing post-checkout damage claims.
Watch-outs
- misleading photos and missing advertised amenities
- unclean, cockroaches and ants throughout
- broken or non-functional facilities (wifi, TV, fridge, stove, shower, toilet seat)
- unfriendly host, blames guests for damage
- withholds security deposits without cause
- basic items missing (cups, utensils, bedding)

Think twice if: Everyone should think twice. Repeated complaints over a year detail photos that misrepresent rooms, missing amenities, pest infestation, and deposit withholding.
Worth knowing
- RM278 nightly rate charged during reviewed stay
- host withheld security deposits citing door damage and other defects guests dispute
- rooms 3 and 4 advertised as bedrooms but contain only single mattresses on floor
- wifi non-functional across all reviews
- no refrigerator, stove, or TV despite photos suggesting otherwise
- slow water pressure in showers
- only two small plastic cups and one broken fork provided for entire house
- CCTV at property but owner refused to review footage when disputing damage claims

Ixora Homestay Private Pool Gerik Perak
4.4(5)✓ Google-verified
Most guests praise the pool, space for families, and value, but one detailed account flagged dirty floors on arrival, broken furniture, no AC, and widespread maintenance gaps. The homestay appeals to large groups seeking affordable pool access, though upkeep consistency appears uneven.
