What recent reviews say

Strong appeal for family groups seeking a pool and outdoor space, but recent high-season guests reported serious gaps between advertised photos and actual conditions: water shortages, pests, and broken fixtures. Earlier visitors praised responsive staff and child-friendly amenities. Maintenance and transparency appear inconsistent.

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

Recent shift: Recent high-season bookings (5 months ago) exposed serious maintenance and water supply failures that contradict the positive earlier reviews from 1-3 years ago. Owner acknowledged issues in reply but no evidence of follow-up yet appears in the reviews.

Praised for
  • family-friendly facilities
  • spacious outdoor areas
  • responsive owner
  • pool appeals to children
  • well-equipped (kitchen, AC, BBQ)
Watch-outs
  • misleading photos vs actual condition
  • water supply problems
  • pest issues (cockroaches, flies)
  • maintenance concerns (broken fan, fallen wardrobe, door knob loose)
  • low privacy between properties

Best for: Families planning group gatherings in Kuala Kangsar who can tolerate shared spaces and check conditions in advance.
Think twice if: Recent guests reported water supply failures, pest problems, and photos that did not match the property. Contact the owner to confirm maintenance updates before booking, especially during peak seasons.

Strengths

  • Pool and spacious outdoor areas for families
  • Mix of villa rooms and roomstay units lets groups book flexibly
  • Owner responds quickly to requests
  • Full kitchen and AC in all rooms

Worth knowing

  • 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms inside; 4 separate roomstay units outside
  • Single water tank noted as limiting supply during simultaneous use
  • Pool is small but manageable for young children
  • Owner responds quickly to requests but guests advise requesting extra mattresses, blankets, and towels (may incur fees)
  • Recent high-season guests charged RM3,900 for 4 days and 3 nights but reported condition did not match advertised photos

What reviews say by service

Family Homestay
Family groups value the pool, outdoor space, and owner responsiveness, but recent stays revealed water shortages and maintenance issues that deterred comfort during peak bookings.
Villa & Bungalow Homestay
Villa option works for large family gatherings, though photos do not match current condition and low boundary walls reduce privacy from other guests on the property.

HOMESTAY KUALA KANGSAR CHEHERRY

5.0(154)✓ Google-verified

Groups of 10 to 60 arrive to find a spacious house with many rooms, air conditioning, and a friendly owner named Hanafi who lives nearby and stays responsive. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove, sink, hot and cold water, freezer, and BBQ area; common areas and family room layouts suit extended families and corporate retreats. One noted the water pressure runs slow. Reviewers consistently praise the village atmosphere, reasonable prices, and owner's willingness to help despite the hour. The pool suits both children and adults. Multiple guests mention the property is close to the city (five minutes), with parking, and easy access to Eco Save supermarket nearby. Durian eating, cooking your own meals, and gathering with 10 siblings are mentioned as real experiences here.
