The 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.

Only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Having a bar on site was nice 👌

The 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!

The bungalows have great little porches with a hammock and chairs to relax in. The property has trees for shade and is a great place to hangout. The staff speak English perfectly and were very helpful with arranging transport and finding another cheap place for us the rent motorbikes (they were out). Lastly, the staff didn’t recognize the taxi driver that picked us up to take us to the ferry and, unprompted, they checked to make sure it was a legit driver working for the same company. We would definitely stay here again!

Bed was very sandy, not just on the sheets but under them (on the matrass) as well. Room was dirty in general, also felt very hot and humid even despite the fan.
Very cute cats and kitten :) Great location, close to beach and shops

Wanted to check out early but there was no one at the counter to assist. And the lighting in the room could be improved as it is a little bit dim
Location and the environment is good as it is near to the center. Room was clean and decent.

We had a bungalow for a bit more privacy and it was really unclean to say the least. The Bungalows need a total cleanup maybe even a renovation, we didn’t even want to look under the bed after we’ve seen the dust and dirt on everything else!
The place was nicely located on a quiet road but near the centre and the beach. There was plenty of room for sitting and having a chat with fellow travellers. The staff was friendly and gave a lot of recommendations for activities/restaurants/bars. A personal plus for me were the many cats that live on the facility.

location is not Cenang beach front so need to take short walk to beach and the ever lively Cenang street. this is not a problem really because they never advertised the property as beach-facing!
staff is very accommodating and helpful. this guesthouse is inside the village(kampung) area but Grab car/taxi still can come around to fetch.planned to stay 1 night but extended to 2.5 night.

Decent place. You get that “I belong here” kind of vibe. Always an amazing atmosphere! Drinks are as cheap as they can get and staff are always willing to help. Good music, clean bathrooms. 10/10 would come back.
