Mai Paddy Cottage, Balik Pulau

The picture posted by the host gives you a clear indication of what to expect. The place gives you a "kampong" feel. It's closer to nature, isolated and calm. It's a perfect get away for people who live a hurry-burry pace. If you want to slow things down, this is the place. The kitchen is well-equipped, the door locked with keypad combination and there's an excellent backyard for you to sit down to enjoy the nature.

Following info is not necessarily a negative comment on the place/host. It's more about setting the expectations for this place. - The place is isolated, with no nearby grocery shops/eateries. You'd have to drive for 10 mins at least to reach anything. But then again, that should be the whole point of choosing this location. Live closer to the nature and unwind. You can't have a paddy-field view at the middle of Georgetown. As long as the expectation is right, you'll love this place.

Un oasi di pace.. C è tutto quello che serve, anche di più! Elaine è una padrona di casa a dir poco fantastica! Se cercate un posto tranquillo immerso nella risaia questo cottage fa per voi! Grazie ancora di tutto Elaine❤️

We loved the tranquillity of the place and how peaceful it made us feel. Elaine, the host, was amazing and responded quickly to all our messages. The house is well equipped with all the necessary amenities, and thoughtful items such as washing liquid, water, and snacks (crisps and chocolates) were provided, too. Highly recommended and worth every penny!

Nothing

Convenient and comfortable, the host is thoughtful.

Got a few small bugs like ants (kitchen) and cockroaches (toilet and kitchen). Outside also have as they got on the car. Maybe because of the surrounding.

It's a beautiful home, away from home.

While the property itself was well maintained, the host’s management of house rules left much to be desired. I was disappointed that part of my deposit was withheld due to claims that the air conditioning and fan were not switched off, even though this could have been quickly verified at checkout. In addition, the facility was only cleaned more than a day after my departure, raising concerns about proper oversight. This experience made me feel that the deposit policy was unfairly enforced and that communication regarding check-out procedures could be improved for future guests.

Host mis-manage the rules of deposit.

Awesome place directly in the paddy fields. Very friendly and supportive owners. Had a very good time there.

We had a wonderful stay at your home. It was impeccably clean, incredibly comfortable, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, the cozy living room, the comfortable beds and very beautiful paddy view.Thank you for a memorable experience."
