What reviewers think

Guests consistently praise Zakri's attentive hosting and the homestay's spacious, spotless rooms packed with everyday conveniences. The location in a quiet village appeals to those seeking refuge from busy Langkawi areas, with the beach a short walk or scooter ride away. Strong value stands out; reviewers repeatedly mention affordable pricing matched to high standards.

Zakri also rents scooters on-site at fair rates, eliminating trips to rental shops. The property sits near an eco shop and Thursday night food market. One reviewer noted a missing mop for spills, though this has not recurred in recent feedback.

Tok Bidin Homestay

4.1(148)✓ Google-verified

Tok Bidin draws repeat visitors for its spacious rooms, paddy views, and welcoming owner, but maintenance lapses and water pressure issues frustrate new guests. Several reviewers praise family-friendly amenities and location near Cenang Beach, though a vocal minority report arriving to dirty conditions, broken facilities, and owner defensiveness when problems arise. Long-term guests report good experiences; short-stay reviewers more often clash with the property's upkeep and responsiveness.
