Guest Reviews

• Steven (7/5): Great family suite for children and adults - We have a vacation and have a great time There is little Chinese food, the Chinese restaurant operates till 230PM
• Suresh (9/5): It's a pleasant stay but the hospitality would have been better. - All the facilities The Staffs at the Lodge (Hotel) Lobby is too rude. Not just one person, I encountered 3 and all 3 are the same.
• Kay-Chuan Benny (7/5): A value for money place to have a comfortable rest but you need to bear with the slightly worn down condition of the pla - It has everything a good hotel/resort have for a comfortable place for you to recharge after the day of traveling. The room facilities are bad in good condition and some of the bathroom facilities are not functional.
• ng (6/5): - Checked in lodging after golfing..not required to run far. Staff required cash Deposit. Never mentioned how & when was it to be refunded. I checked out early @6.15 am..leaving room card on reception table as no-one in attendance. Despite ringing bell a few times. Further, no fixed parking lots with instructions to park vehicle around the premises.
• 乐涵 (5/5): - 房间宽敞 设施老旧
• Zakaria (8/5): Good stay, nice facilities but need elevator for elderly and would be good if has kids pool - Free usage for pickleball court and big swimming pool. Spacious room for the family suite No elevator to the rooms, not that OKU/elderly-friendly

• fadz (9/5): -
• fadz (9/5): -
• Azraei shahbudin (7/5): -
• Meiyi (10/5): Beautiful, quiet spot, immaculate room - we were spoilt <3 - Ponderosa was quiet and nestled among nature, and much trees Pool was routinely(?) closed each Monday which means...dont book Monday(??) not sure Requires cashless for all additional costs (booking of courts, rental of rackets for pickleball, meals at all their eatery - quite inconvenient) Only cashless payments. Grab is the only way in or out (unless driving) Golfer guests can be loud/rowdy. Pool maintenance means you dont get the pool during some days (and they never tell you when, during booking)

• Lee (8/5): Value for money. - The green surrounding, pickleball courts and swimming pool. The room and bath room are large though the furnitures are a bit old. My room has no view even though there is a window. Few power points need to be repaired with proper finishing.

They have a wedding event in front of our room and the musics play out loud until 10.41pm non stop , very annoying and disturbing .. call up reception nobody pick up to handle .
• Dayanandan (5/5): Not a place to stay with family due to secondary issue but a good place to stay if you are a solo traveller that like to - The gym and swimming pool is very nice The bed and pillow is not comfortable at all. The room tiles is dirty and water pressure is completely terrible
• Elaine (8/5): Tranquil, spacious and rejuvenating place to relax. - Loved the pool and lush view, the spaciousness, the peace and tranquility, and of course the quiet sleep. Loved the balcony. Enjoyed the breeze. Appreciate the freedom staff who recognised us on our second stay. We enjoyed breakfast , sitting in front of the green. Was so relaxed ! It’s my second time and will return. The bathroom - leaky faucet, dirty shower area had mould, dirt and old cockroach eggshell casings. Also the other double room (with my sister and her husband) had electricity blackout twice in the night. I didn’t use aircon (opened the door and sued insect screen), so didn’t notice .
• Kim (8/5): Overall staff are staffs are friendly facilities good. - Near to town n within golf course. For room like this we only need single beds not all different types.

• Mohd (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pang (7/5): Good -
• John (7/5): Good -
• Azlan (7/5): Good -

• Rosli (7/5): great stay - the facility is dated, but still comfortable. the vibe is like vintage hotel. fridge in my room is not working. The room service is good with big portion, just they dint provide chili sauce. room is really spacious. ac is good. fan is good. got smart tv. got really bog pool fridge is not working. at first there is some like wood smell. bad smell comes out when try to use bath tub.

• Amizah (7/5): Good -
• Linda (7/5): Good -
• Yi (6/5): Pleasant -
• Popyliea (8/5): Definitely coming back. - Bfast was really good and location superb for my activities.
• Mohd (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rusydi (7/5): Good -
• 1230 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lee (7/5): Do well and create happiness. - Golf facilities. Spacious rooms. Locality is good near good eateries. Staff is helpful. Room has an old smell; noticed ants crawling; safe box is faulty. Rooms can be easily improved and require focus.
• Vinoth (7/5): Good - Room Wifi not connecting, swimming pool not allowed
• Wee (6/5): Pleasant - the green view and fresh breeze air con suddenly turn off but the room light cannot be off, very strange. so call for help. the security guard came to attend to it
• Aliaa (10/5): Exceptional - All about this hotel Nothing hehe. Thanks yaaa..
• Am (3/5): Spacious room with reasonable price but poor customer service - Reasonable price. Spacious room. There were several issues during our stay: no hot tub was provided, and the swimming pool was closed. In room number 03, the air conditioner was not functioning properly and wasn’t cold. Upon entering the room, there was an unpleasant odor. Meanwhile, in room number 04, the air conditioner was excessively cold and could not be turned off except by switching off the main power. Additionally, the staff's service, particularly the security guard on November 28, 2024, at 8 PM in the restaurant lobby, was very disappointing. They were not friendly or helpful when we mistakenly went to the wrong check-in location. No assistance was offered, even though we had to carry our belongings ourselves in the rain. The separate buildings also added to the inconvenience. We hope the management will take note and improve the quality of service for the convenience of future guests.
• Mohd (8/5): Very good -
• Shafiqah (8/5): Very good -
• Segu (7/5): Good -
• Stanny (9/5): Tranquility - Serene and tranquil atmosphere. 20mins from Sultan Iskandar CIQ. High standard complementary sports facilities such as olympic size swimming pool and gym. Reasonably priced driving range golf. Very spacious and clean room. It's out dated but very well maintained. Staff response is quite fast upon our request to replace lamp. Room doesn't come with complementary breakfast which suit us just fine. We will come back again. No lift to go to the room
• Syed (7/5): Good -
• Wong (8/5): Very good -
• Nuth (8/5): Very good - The swimming pool is Olympic-sized. Just a short drive to AEON Mall, IKEA, and Lotus. The air conditioning is very cold and can't be adjusted. A car is needed to get around.
• Satheeshkumar (1/5): Bad - Location The terms and conditions not suitable for tourists
• Anna (6/5): All could be way better if just clean to the standards - Awesome swimming pool and area around, very quiet and relaxing Very dirty!!! Fungus lives in shower! Rooms are cleaned very badly; floor even dirty so I can’t let kids to be barefoot, dirty sheets as well. And everything is pretty old in the room and in hotel itself. No cable tv as in presentation it was promised
• Angie (1/5): Bad - Went there to stay on 30th august and paid deposit of 150 ringgit. Have yet to receive my deposit despite numerous messages and calls. They even blue ticked my message.
• Roni (7/5): Attract more malay and indian. - So many chinese lmao. Where is malay and indian at?
• Muhammad (5/5): Passable -
• Muhamad (10/5): Exceptional - Value for money
• Erickson (8/5): Value & comfort - Value for money, bucolic location, lack of staff to clean the facilities
• Haziyanti (9/5): Superb -
• Hanani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Farah (9/5): Satisfying, relaxing and cosy with a beautiful view of the green golf course and pine trees. - The pool is very large and the location away from the city provides a peaceful and quiet place for guests who prefer relaxation and privacy for their vacation. For a family suite I would suggest two bathrooms with a toilet so that family members don't have to take turns to shower and have to wait if they want to use the toilet.
• Abdul (9/5): Superb -
• Choonlim (7/5): Good -
• Nurul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zawawi (9/5): Superb -
• Segu (4/5): Disappointing -
• Mohamad (4/5): Stressful - They checked swimming pool chlorine level every morning to ensure within suitable range for swimming activity. Disappointed with room service. I found my mattress cover and bed head smeared with blood (small portion). Request to change other room but no room available. I asked the receptionist for 3 times to clean up the blood stain but nothing happen. This will be my first and last!
• Muhamad (10/5): Unethical and Overpriced 300RM deposit demanded by front desk staff - Spacious room The security deposit of 300RM is unnecessary and overpriced!!
• Abdo (10/5): Exceptional - Swimming pool, restaurant, Gym and house keeping. Internet was lagging.
• Kuah (6/5): Pleasant - Kids pool The reception staff not helpful
• Michael (3/5): Dated old place falling apart - Quiet location, large room, large dry toilet. Dusty, dated, falling apart, no lift to rooms, steps even in room, no safe box in room, dripping Aircon, spilt/torn/sunken sofa, loose/unsafe wall plugs, insufficient wall plugs, bad soundproofing, old door access mechanism, satined bed headrest.
• Arzuwah (10/5): We are happy with my stay. - The environment No front desk
• Choonlim (7/5): Good -
• Norhuda (9/5): Superb -
• Hsbc (10/5): Exceptional - Nice Nice
• Bashir (7/5): Good -
• Kee (8/5): Very good - Room is spacious. There is a well-equiped gym and a large pool at the hotel. The sofa in the room may need upgrading.
• Siti (7/5): Good -
• Mitt68 (9/5): Superb - A nostalgic hotel/resort experience unlike any other modern hotels in Johor Bahru. The control panels located on the bedside table reminisce the hotels ive been circa 80's. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings. No elevator although all rooms located only on 2nd floor but its quite a hassle to carry luggages or hand carry bags. Parking is quite far but its a golf club so youre to expect to walk a little.
• Li (7/5): Good -
• Selamah (8/5): Very good -
