What recent reviews say

Guests consistently praise the space and pool for family gatherings, though one recent reviewer noted maintenance lapses. Complete kitchen gear, air-conditioned rooms, and proximity to Taman Rimba appeal to multi-family stays.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: Earlier reviews (5-7 years ago) emphasize cleanliness; the most recent review (one year ago) flags maintenance concerns, suggesting a potential decline in upkeep.

Watch-outs

Five-star guests praise the spacious layout and pool, but one-star reviews describe a dirty house, shared air conditioning between rooms, and poor owner communication. Recent stays show mixed results: some report improvements and new furnishings; others cite rodent droppings, dusty carpets, and deposit disputes.
