What recent reviews say

Families who come here for the pool and space often praise the owner's responsiveness and the potential for group gatherings. Others find the villa beautiful in photos but discover poor privacy between bedrooms, heavy insect problems, stains on linens, and high prices that don't match reality. The location and facilities look better online than in person.

Guests report rooms connected to neighboring houses with limited soundproofing, cockroaches and other insects despite photos showing a pristine property, and surprise fees for late checkout or unwashed dishes. A strong divide exists between those celebrating the pool and those regretting the experience versus the cost.

Best for: families with young children who prioritize pool time over privacy and don't mind high prices
Think twice if: connected rooms and poor soundproofing mean limited privacy; insects and hygiene lapses are recurring complaints; book with caution if you rely on photos alone

Strengths

  • marketed for family and group stays

Worth knowing

  • Location claimed as 100m from beach on TikTok but measured at 650m by reviewers
  • WiFi reported as slow or absent; no water heater despite tropical climate
  • Pool noted as large and high fencing for privacy poolside

What reviews say by service

Private Pool Villa Homestay
Pool and outdoor space praised, but privacy between bedrooms and pest control are serious issues.
Family & Large Group Homestay
Good for celebrations and gatherings, but lack of soundproofing between rooms makes it risky for multiple families.
Beachfront & Island Homestay
Close to beach with local food nearby, but distance overstated in marketing (650m, not 100m as claimed).
Budget & Backpacker Homestay
Price point does not match budget category; reviewers consistently call it overpriced.

Most guests praise the affordable rates and comfort at this beachfront homestay near Irama beach in Bachok. Air-conditioned rooms, a responsive owner, and a food shop downstairs appeal to budget travellers, though one reviewer noted noisy pipes.
