Guest Reviews

• Cyrille (10/5): - L'emplacement et la gentillesse du propriétaire Pas de wifi la nuit
• jingwen (10/5): 非常棒的住宿体验 - 非常干净，就在海滩边，很方便，老板一家非常友好，会讲中文。 床太软了
• Michi Unterwegs (4/5): - Eintige positive was ich berichten kann.Direkt am Meer Fenster hatten keine scheiben, alle Geräusche kommen ungefiltert ins Zimmer. Es war Ramadan, bis 00:00 absolut unerträglicher Lärm. Mosche direkt an der Unterkunft! Ich habe jede feder in der Matratze gespürt.
• Aradia (9/5): - Das Preis,- Leistungsverhältnis ist wirklich super. Selbstverständlich ist die Einrichtung bei dem Preis sehr Basic aber blitzsauber und die Lage unschlagbar. Die Inhaber sind sehr herzlich. Es gibt auch Möglichkeiten seine Wäsche aufzuhängen -
• Subramaniam (10/5): Really enjoy the place 👍👍👍 - Very good None
• Tomas (10/5): - Top misto, vse bylo blizko. Je to jak bylo psano. Bylo vse sice postarsi, jednoduche , ale naprosto ciste a funkcni. Pani byla ochotna a super komunikativni.
• mazeri man (8/5): - Tempat yang strategy Tada tv
• arpi (9/5): -
• Silvia (8/5): - Super Lage in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Meer.
• Laura (6/5): Buenas ubicación y personal amable - La ubicación es excelente y el personal es muy amable. Respondieron muy bien ante las incidencias que tuvimos. El alojamiento es muy ruidoso, se escucha todo! Para nuestro gusto falta ropa de cama, tampoco hay toallas. Cambiamos de habitación porque en la primera teniamos insectos como compañía, pero el personal respondió rápido y de la mejor forma posible. Si solo necesitas una cama con buena ubicación es tu lugar.
• Athiqah bt (9/5): - Clean and friendly Nothing
• megat ahmad (8/5): -
• ROBERT (7/5): Functional, excellent value, very friendly. - Of note, I was actually given a room in their twin Guest House close by, ET’s. This is a basic guesthouse accommodation. It is not luxury, but it is functional and clean. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, and close to decent restaurants and evening beach fire show etc. The owners were wonderful.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Petra (5/5): Oke - Host was really friendly and helpful and the bed was comfortable. It's really noisy day and night. Music, fireworks people, it doesn't stop. We left a day early. The badroom is really small so as in a lot off places the shower wets the toilet
• Rohana (3/5): Bad without facilities - Nil Nil
• Carina (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, simple, safe and comfortable. It's right on the doorstep of the beach, and close to both affordable local food options, and the beach activities. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and it was wonderful to stay here.

• Mohamed (7/5): Good -
• Abd (3/5): Poor -

• Madelaine (8/5): Very good - It was right in front of the beach, with independent access (double lock for security). There are no rooms with balcony or sea view, the info is not updated A little bit noisy at night, but not that terrible. The Mosque is very loud though.

• Beata (9/5): nice room close to the sea - The room is small but nice and clean. It is very close to a sea and restaurants. It has parking very close the guesthouse. Host is very nice. If we needed anything he was willing to help us immidiatelly (for example he provided electric kettle to boil a water which was not in a room) There is no shelf or anything you can put your clothes on.

• Jae (10/5): Just a few meters from the beach, - Very quiet, a few meters from Batu Ferringui beach, great prices and super friendly and attentive staff. Thank you!
• Louise (7/5): Good - very nice owners good location there was noise constantly. parties and fireworks until 2 am and at 8-9am they began construction next door. It really disrupted our sleep
• Nur (10/5): Exceptional - Seriously bargain. The host was so friendly and amazing. Its like we've been taking care by a family. Really strategic place to enjoy beach life. Food is easy to find. Jeruk pak ali is around the corner. I cannot thank you enough for the experience in such a amazing guest house. RECOMMENDED!! Nothing.. everything perfect.
• Syuhada (7/5): Good -
• Beatrijs (1/5): Bad -
• Mortimer (8/5): Very good - Location was great. Room was reasonable size and very clean . Nothing to dislike.
• Adzuar (9/5): Superb - The place is very close to the beach. The aunty who welcomed me was so kind and friendly. The process into getting our rooms were so easy. The rooms were quite spacious for people who has the intention of only sleeping and relaxing. Overall it was a nice stay. Worth the price!
• Kenton (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (8/5): Great location - Great location, simple and clean, great location just 10 meters from the beach. Motorcycle rental, food and shops within 500meters, have I said , great location ? A little basic, bring your own towels and bedding but for 20 euro, it’s no problem.
• Eugenia (10/5): Exceptional - Location and cleanliness
• Ioana (4/5): Don't recommend it - Few steps away from the beach and had AC Too overpriced for what you get. Found cobwebs on the wall and the facilities are precarious. It definitely requires some upgrade. I would not go again.
• Abe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nurul (10/5): Will stay here again - Very clean.. friendly staff.. near food stall and beach None
• Nor (9/5): Cozy and comfortable - Nearby to the sea, restaurant and nearby night market - no kettle - no bidet & no hose - no towel provided - room with less ventilation
• Marco (10/5): Great place to stay right next to the beach. - Excellent location, right on the beach with lots of restaurants nearby. Really friendly and helpful hosts. Great value
• Davina (8/5): clean, comfortable, simple and welcoming - i stayed here for one night because a friend was getting married in Parkroyal resort down the street and no way could I afford a night there. this was a great budget option. no bells and whistles here but if you’re looking for something that’s clean, simple and comfortable, this is a great place. i collected my key from Mr. Liang who’s a pleasant man. in fact the people I’ve met here who help to run the place are all very nice people. an extra added touch is that they offer free mats to borrow if you want to lay on the beach, which is literally a minute’s walk away. some businesses on the beach rent out mats, so you’re saving a bit of money there. towel loaning is available free upon request too. within minutes of leaving some food-related trash in my bin, an ant trail formed, but what else would I expect? it’s a rustic beach side guest house. i didn’t bother the trail and it was gone by morning.
• Paige (10/5): Travelers should know that this is a more local style accomodation, so the bed will be firm and the shower is not a sepa - The location can’t be beat-it’s seconds from the beach! My room was impeccably clean and the owners are super kind and friendly. The neighborhood is very quiet at night and the sound insulation was pretty good.
• Swed1964 (8/5): Very good - A very nice family. So close to the beach and nice beach restaurants. Yes, perfect location. Close to bus stops going to Georgetown and airport and everywhere. Very clean room. Good Wi-Fi and air-con. No coffee facilities in the room. Woke up early because of the mosque speakers.
• Nasir (7/5): Good - - Comfort bed, washroom - Poor plug quality for charger - Itchy blanket
• Hanisa (6/5): Oklah - Front beach 🏖️ Clean bedroom ☺️
• Faith (8/5): As it is a budget hotel, it is great value for money. I will certainly like to come back again. - the location is good and the host is very hospitable. The blanket provided was too small and thin. I felt cold in the night with the air in on.
• Kenton (8/5): Overall, was what advertised:Clean and simple. I would add 'noisy' and 'inconsistent WIFI'. But thed - The hosts were kind and attentive. They even changed rooms and mattresses for me to make it better. The wifi in rooms was inconsistent and weak very often. Sometimes it cut out entirely in early morning hours. Unfortunately, the location was very noisy late at night and early morning due to noisy adjacent property, beach gatherings, and the Masjid loudspeakers. (5:45AM).
• David (7/5): Good -
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Ahmad (7/5): RECOMMEND STAY FOR BEACH FRONT - INFRONT OF BEACH....VERY GOOD OWNER Very thinny blanket....other than that ok
• Verified traveler (2/5): - messy and smelly
• isnel aljanatul mawa (8/5): great location. besides beach - great location. besides beach
• Dean (10/5): Ferringhi stay - When viewed from the outside it is not impressive but the hosts are lovely and helpful, the location is relatively quiet, and the beach is right there. It is located at the nw end of the beach. Convenient bus stop and the tropical spice gardens and national park a "must do"
• Priscilla (10/5): A backpacker's 5 Star location. - Luv this place. It's local, simple, safe & right next to the beach with good beachfront food stalls very nearby.
• Verified traveler (10/5): It was beyond our expectation! Very comfy & homey. - Everything is perfect! I actually didn't expect the room will be that nice and it was beyond my expectation. We stayed in a ground level room which is concrete building (not wooden) for a surcharge of RM10 per night. It was not a problem because the room is clean and complete with aircond, mini refrigerator and also water heater in the bathroom. Very comfy and feeling homey. The only negative point is, I would suggest that the guest house owner provides thicker blanket/comforter for the bed as it is not enough sleeping in an aircon room with a thin blanket. After all, the location of the guest house is superb. It is located just in front of the beach (with a nice view of sunset and nearby water sport activities) and also just a walking distance to the night market and restaurants. The guest house owner is so friendly and very helpful. Not to mention that the wifi is also good. There's a mosque behind the guest house and it is not a problem for us when the muazin calling prayers for Subuh at 5.45 a.m. Overall, we are very satisfied with our stay there. We surely would come back again staying there for our next trip!
• Heather (10/5): Highly recommended - You couldn't ask to be nearer the beach, it was just across the lane from the guest house. The family who run it are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The room and shared bathroom was very clean, and the bed was huge and very comfortable. We opted for a room with a fan, this was cool enough during the night, but it did get quite warm during the day. But as we spent most of the day on the beach, this was not a problem. There were places to eat within walking distance, and the bus stop was about 5 minutes away on foot. It was so good, we originally booked for five nights, but ended up staying for twelve.
• Guinnevere Allen (10/5): Beachfront Paradise At Great Price! - This is the 2nd time I have stayed here. At first, I thought that it was not glamorous. However, the location, friendly staff, convenience, and peacefulness made me come back. This time I got a beautiful room with a super ocean view and a really comfortable bed. I like how the rooms are furnished and feel very safe here.
• Toni (6/5): Rannan lähellä - Hyvä siisti majatalo. Hintalaatusuhde hyvä. Sijaitsee ihan rannan lähellä.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nära till stranden - Rent hotell nära stranden. Dock ingen ac bara fläkt. Väldigt varmt. Nära till stranden.
• Dima (8/5): Low-key corner of this busy village on the beach! - Very basic cheap lodging almost on the beach so if you are after some sun adn see - this is surely a place... Room rather basic, but well compensated by lovely team serving the hotel guests and it's location.
• Shinichi (8/5): まさに民宿（ゲストハウスそのものですが） - 現金支払いのみであったが、現金が無くなったが祝日で空いている両替が見つからず一旦返金してくれて翌日ばらいにしてくれた。ゲストハウスのオーナー、奥さんが非常に親切。広い洗濯物干場があって良かった。
• Verified traveler (6/5): Baba the Weekend Escape - Nice place..walking distance food places and the beach is just across the street.. great place for the weekend stay to chill and relax..
• Verified traveler (4/5): The owner - the owner is a lil bit harsh .
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nett, aber Preis Leistung stimmt nicht ganz - Grundsätzlich ganz nett. Netter Betreiber. Und tolle Lage. Nur wenige Meter zum Strand. Aber mit Kindern wirds teuer wegen preisaufschlägen.
• Redincarn (4/5): Nice location if you're a beach person, family run - Too noisy for me, next to a mosque and barking dogs in the night. Other than that nice, older place and I paid holiday prices so did not get as much for what I paid. Can see the sea from balcony.
• gary (8/5): nice place to stay in batu ferringhi - Very nice place to stay in batu ferringhi. The location is very convenient and food and seaside are just a few minutes walk. Rooms are clean though a bit noisy due to wooden floor. Owner is very nice and welcoming. Bring your own water though so u don't have to buy. Overall we enjoyed and will go back there for another visit in batu ferringhi
• Chuii Yong (8/5): Cheap and Worth - Overall I'm satisfy with the guest house. One thing that was disappointed me was the dusty floor when we first checked in the room. At least they should clean it up a bit before guest arriving. Might be sometime that nobody is staying at the triple room.. But it is a nice location with beach and restaurents.Water sports are just right infront. Visited in end of JUNE
• Verified traveler (4/5): Average guest house at beach - We were looking just for a room to sleep after visiting penang. This is a wooden roof guest house so if you are looking for a hotel like facilities then you better find some other place. There is no daily cleaning of room and Towels will be changed only on request (note, there is no phone service to call guest house staff so you have to literally walkin to next door in order to request).
