What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise this 15-room village homestay as outstanding value for large family gatherings, with strong facilities including a full kitchen, dining room, two pools, and barbecue areas. The owner is noted as responsive and helpful, though the property shows wear: pools need algae treatment, several rooms have faulty air conditioning or broken beds, the prayer room lacks ventilation, and insects are present enough to warrant bringing repellent.

  • village atmosphere and peaceful setting
  • good value for large groups
  • well-equipped kitchen and dining areas
  • responsive and friendly owner
  • multiple pools and recreation facilities
Watch-outs
  • maintenance issues (mossy pools, broken furniture)

Rumah Rehatku - Private Indoor Swimming Pool Homestay

5.0(84)✓ Google-verified

Every guest reports arriving at a spotless house stocked with kitchenware, toiletries, linens, and towels. The host is known for generosity-one guest received homemade cookies-and the indoor pool with waterfall is a consistent highlight, especially for families who find value in private bathing at home. A few mention the standard 3 pm check-in and 11:30 am check-out feels rushed, and one reviewer flagged the pool's proximity to the living area as a safety concern for toddlers, though this did not dampen their five-star rating. The property suits multi-family groups: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, air conditioning throughout, Netflix, Astro TV, a BBQ area, and full kitchen supplies mean guests need bring almost nothing. Muslim guests consistently praise the prayer mats, telekung, and Qibla direction provided. Reviewers use words like "peaceful," "like a 5-star hotel," and "don't want to leave," underscoring the appeal for a break from daily life without sacrificing comfort.

Villa Anjung Mahligai with Private Pool

4.9(23)✓ Google-verified

Families and groups consistently report a comfortable, well-equipped villa with five bedrooms, clean private pool, and thoughtful owners. The space suits gatherings of 8-14 people, though some note the distance from central Malacca and occasional gaps in air conditioning or app-based navigation to find it.

Pak Mat draws families and large groups with negotiable rates, a pool, and BBQ setup. The owner is personable and the property can feel welcoming for short stays. However, drainage problems emerge during rain, basic amenities require guests to bring their own, and casual maintenance means some guests encounter water damage or broken fixtures without quick fixes.
