What recent reviews say

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.

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

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.
