Absolutely love this place, the atmosphere is very inviting and relaxed. The people are over the top friendly and accommodating. The food was good and a decent price and drinks are cheap as well. I can’t wait to go back and visit my new friends!
ChinaThe location is great and I liked the bar. The kitties are also darn cute. It’s basically like a cat cafe.
United States of AmericaThe guesthouse is very well located, just acoss the road from the beach. There are many restaurants, shops as well as taxi service kiosks in the area. The room was pretty clean and comfortable, the common bathroom was also reasonably clean .
ChinaThe vibes of the place are really amazing, so calm and beautiful over there. The workers are really friendly and the place is full of lovely cats. It is close to one of the most famous beaches, and has restaurants and motorbike rent really close.
MalaysiaOnly a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Having a bar on site was nice 👌
United States of Americai like the location which is nearby the sea and easy looking for the meal.
MalaysiaSuper cool common area. Very easy to meet people. Super nice and helpful staff. Overall awesome place, would have stayed longer if I could.
United States of AmericaThe place was extremely homey and made you feel really welcomed! There was a common room and they had a bar with happy hour. The staff were super friendly and recommended things to do and helped us book tours. I recommend getting a room with AC as the fan rooms can get ready hot and stuffy. They also had tons of cute cats that were super friendly!

MalaysiaThe location is very good, 2min to the main road with all shops and tge beach but still calm amd green. Staff was very friendly, great value for money.

Host Info
Gecko Guesthouse is one of the oldest backpackers hostels in Langkawi and it has tried to maintain the original charm of rural Langkawi. It has a relaxed vibe where guests can hang out in the tropcial garden, mingle with new friends, share stories, chat online or simply sip a beer!
I first visited Langkawi in 1990 and eventually moved here in 2001 so my knowledge of the island and the surrounding area is fairly extensive. I still enjoy a bit of travelling when I manage to take a holiday. I like visiting new places and am interested in many things from architecture, paintings, tasting new food, gardening, shopping and having a good time .. oh and I also like animals and especially cats!
Gecko has an ideal location and only 3 minutes to walk to the beach. It is off the main road and you can find other guesthouses, restaurants, internet cafe, motorbike rental etc.all nearby It is at the northern end of Cenang Beach and a stone's throw from the main road where all the shops, restaurants/bars, travel agencies are located.
