What recent reviews say
Recent visits reveal severe cleanliness problems: lizard droppings, cockroach odour, dust, and bedbugs throughout the property. The owner admits long periods of neglect, responds slowly to messages, and has failed to refund deposits promptly. Older reviews praised the cheap rate and friendly service, but current guests find the property far below advertised standard and basic hygiene expectations.
Recent shift: Sharp decline in cleanliness and owner responsiveness over the past 2 months compared to 2-year-old reviews that praised the property. Owner now openly admits neglecting the property due to lack of visits.

The Halt Tiny House
4.6(47)✓ Google-verified
The Halt delivers on comfort and cleanliness for small families seeking a quiet Taiping getaway, with responsive owners and a private pool. However, guests frequently report mosquitoes, steep stairs that concern elderly visitors and parents, a lone toilet per unit, and occasional maintenance gaps like murky pool water and grubby BBQ equipment.
