What recent reviews say

Recent guests report persistent cleanliness failures: pool fouled by algae, linens and bathrooms smelling, broken beds, and rodents in kitchen. Older reviews praised budget pricing and the owner's flexibility, but the property's condition has clearly deteriorated. At RM120 per night, current visitors feel the price no longer matches what they receive.

Recent shift: Marked decline in maintenance and cleanliness from 4-5 star reviews (2-4 years old) to 1-2 star complaints (recent months). Recent guests emphasize dirty pool, musty linens, and broken fixtures.

Praised for
  • budget-friendly pricing (older reviews)
  • pool and outdoor spaces
  • friendly owner and staff
  • equipped kitchen and communal areas
Watch-outs
  • dirty pool (algae and moss)
  • unclean linens and bathroom odours
  • broken furniture and amenities
  • privacy concerns (CCTV in pool area)
  • poor maintenance overall
poor-hygieneoverpricedbroken-amenitiesfamily-friendlygood-value
Best for: Budget-conscious families seeking a pool staycation, if maintenance improves.
Think twice if: Cleanliness red flags (algae in pool, smelly linens/bathrooms) are reported recently; inspect the pool and rooms before committing.

Strengths

  • Owner accommodating with late checkout and flexible requests
  • outdoor kitchen and BBQ setup for group stays
  • on-site pool with separate child and adult sections
  • near local attractions (Lata Tebing Tinggi, nearby shops)

Worth knowing

  • Pool depth approximately 160 cm; separate sections for adults and children
  • Speaker rental available (RM10) through owner
  • Owner grants flexible late checkout if no new guests arriving that day
  • No WiFi; Celcom/Digi coverage reliable, Umobile unreliable; cash preferred as card/online payments problematic
  • Recent reviews cite broken air conditioner controls, non-adjustable TV volume, broken bed frame, rats in kitchen

Reviewers who stayed longer report a peaceful getaway near Selama's fruit farms, with clean rooms and a pool; the owner keeps things simple. Recent guests flag darkness and ants as problems, and one raised a theft concern, pushing overall experience down from what the 4-star stays suggested.
