What recent reviews say

Mixed track record over seven years, with strong earlier praise for cleanliness and value, but a serious 2025 overbooking incident where a long-time guest's paid reservation was cancelled to accommodate another booking, with no refund. Recent reviews show the homestay struggles with reservation integrity and administrative clarity, overshadowing its reputation for budget comfort.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: significant deterioration in 2025; recent major overbooking incident with a long-time customer during Chinese New Year, where reservation was cancelled mid-stay with no refund, contradicting years of repeat bookings and earlier positive reviews

Two guests rated the place as furnished and acceptable; a third found basic bedding and seating but flagged broken air conditioning, repeated water tank failures, ineffective mosquito netting, and dust accumulation. Evidence is sparse across only three reviews.

2.7(300)Publishes prices

Half the reviews here describe check-in disputes where the owner demands extra cash after guests have paid through Agoda, or refuses entry entirely. The other half praise the quirky decor and friendly moments, but they are far outnumbered. Many guests report the owner blaming Agoda for low prices and pressuring visitors to call the platform and lie to get refunds, which leaves customers stuck with no accommodation and no refund. A few five-star reviews confirm that when no pricing conflict arises, the place feels homely and the owners are kind. The owner, Ms. Tan, has built the place herself and lives on-site with Mr. Teh. Rooms lack TVs and basic heating equipment. The jacuzzi is sometimes listed as unusable. Refund policies appear to flip based on the owner's mood. Direct booking seems to avoid the Agoda surcharge drama, but the property's conflict history with online platforms is a serious red flag for family guests seeking peace of mind.
