What recent reviews say

Recent guests split sharply on this farmhouse homestay. Strong five-star reviews praise its spacious design, family-friendly setup, and reasonable rates, with owners described as friendly. However, multiple one and three-star complaints document serious cleanliness gaps: dirty toilets, greasy floors, dust-coated appliances, and beds with wood shavings. Photos on TikTok appear to overstate the actual condition guests find on arrival. The remote kampung location lacks street lighting, and connectivity is poor.

Watch-outs
