What recent reviews say

Kabin Du'Kati appeals to nature lovers seeking tranquility near a river in rural Kampung Chuar. Guests consistently praise the unique cabin design, lush grounds, and generous breakfast; however, a significant minority report serious pest problems (rats, mice, lizards), cleanliness concerns, and tense owner interactions that undermine the experience.

HOMESTAY DESA KATI

5.0(77)✓ Google-verified

Every guest gave five stars. Families return repeatedly for the space, comfort, and sheer range of activities: archery, piano, chess, carom, PS5, fishing by the river. The house feels like a condo inside, clean throughout, with games enough to keep children and adults busy for days. The owner, En Razali, answers quickly and makes guests feel genuinely welcomed, including non-Muslim visitors. Most praise the quiet rural location 15 minutes from Kuala Kangsar town, the durian orchard surroundings, and amenities like disabled-friendly toilets and a barbecue pit. Many reviewers called it the best homestay they have ever seen. The kitchen is fully functional, Wi-Fi works well, and there are enough beds and bathrooms for large groups (up to 16 people mentioned). One guest noted the photos on the website match reality or look even better in person. The river view, outdoor spaces, and abundance of both games and quiet corners for adults make it equally suitable for multigenerational trips or adult friend groups seeking a working home base.

Homestay Kampung Labu Kubong draws visitors seeking authentic village calm and rural scenery, with its traditional bathing setup and paddy field views particularly praised for family events and photo shoots. Communication with the owner remains inconsistent; some guests report weeks without replies to bookings and payment queries, though those who eventually connect describe surprisingly friendly, accommodating hosts.

Teratak Paris attracts families seeking a quiet village retreat with a working river, mosque nearby, and grounds fit for group gatherings. Rooms are clean and well-equipped, parking is spacious, and the owner can arrange meals. Access involves a narrow road and food delivery does not reach this deep into the village, though that keeps the atmosphere peaceful.
