What recent reviews say

Most stays deliver comfort and spaciousness at fair prices in a beachfront location near Pantai Melawi, with a responsive host who even built a wheelchair ramp mid-visit. One recent guest found serious hygiene failings on arrival: lizard droppings in bed, cockroaches, worn kitchenware, pest infestations, and broken door hardware, suggesting inconsistent cleaning standards between bookings.

The house itself is large and well-equipped for families, close to town and local Kelantan eateries, with ample parking for multiple cars. Success appears to depend on timing and the host's readiness to address maintenance issues quickly.
