What recent reviews say

Guests consistently praise the owner's hospitality, clean rooms, and tranquil setting near hot springs in Ulu Legong. Breakfast (nasi lemak and roti canai) comes included. Most find the rates reasonable for families and those seeking a local village experience. One past dispute over checkout timing and a toilet ventilation complaint stand out among otherwise glowing feedback.

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

Guests consistently praise the large, clean house and fully stocked kitchen. Families with 4-9 people find the space excellent value, and the owner Nor Syahida earns repeated mentions for being kind and approachable. One reviewer wished for a living room mirror, but this is the only note in 19 reviews. The setting appeals to those seeking quiet village atmosphere and enough bedrooms for group stays. Water pressure is reliable, rooms are comfortable, and the location near Pengkalan Hulu works well for travellers heading to Betong or Baling. No significant complaints surface across the board.
