United KingdomLighting in the studio room wasn’t great. Too dark especially after sunset. Also, hill is very steep and a bit of a walk (around 10 minutes) from Villas to the rooms in the Rainforest side of the resort. However, the staff did provide transportation whenever needed which was very kind of them. Not sure why there were no phones in any of the rooms but this could be a Langkawi issue as the other resort we booked also didn’t have a phone to call reception (from the booked room).
If you love nature you’ll love this place. Initially stayed at the Pool Villa which was amazing (and we got to see monkeys! Then, we moved to try the ensuite and studio rooms at the Rainforest retreat area. Staff are great and short drive from Cenang beach.

South KoreaLiterally nothing!
Everything about this place is incredible. The staff is so caring and helpful, the villa was so beautiful and had everything you'd need. The swimming pool area and the restaurants have amazing views and it feels so peaceful everywhere you go.

SingaporeThe breakfast took too long to be served, almost 40 minutes. The food was okay, but it could be better.
Amazing, friendly staff that really cares about you! We had a surprise cake for our 10th-anniversary celebration, and they checked on us every night to see if we needed any assistance. The shower gel and shampoo smell so good, and they really help us calm down after a hot and humid day exploring Langkawi. The 'surprise' visit by monkeys on our balcony added a natural touch, as if we were truly staying in the jungle. The view from restaurant are to die for!

IsraelThere is not much to do within walking distance. Must drive/taxi to go anywhere.
The staff is above and beyond attentive and are truly hospitable and happy to help. Ate 5 meals on sight at the vegan restaurant and loved every one of them. So relaxing. Monkeys abound and yoga too. Couldn't ask for more

MalaysiaNothing major, but I just felt the room needed to be redecorated. Looked a bit crowded and tired to me.
Secluded and surrounded by nature, the sound of nature , rustling of leaves, and wildlife created a very relaxing and rejuvenating environment. A great weekend getaway to recharge.

GermanyEverything was great.
Simply: everything! Ambong Rainforest Retreat is such a great place run by lovely people. Everything is well thought through and the service is exceptional. In fact we loved the stay so much that we changed our travel schedule to enjoy more time here. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature, yet, the Cenang strip/mall is within walking distance (30min) or alternatively a Grab/taxi can be hailed easily. The hotel staff - everyone (!) - is super nice and helpful with suggesting activities and what not. The breakfast is delicious and guests can choose between two wonderful restaurants with great atmosphere and views (one is vegan). Thanks to the whole Ambong Team for having us and making our honeymoon start as amazing as it could have been - we will definitely stay at Ambong when coming back to Langkawi!

SingaporeRoom lights were a bit dim so at night you might squint a bit to look for your stuff! I noticed other guests complained about the steep slopes to the rooms, but staff are so quick to bring you door-to-door in their shuttle, it really was no issue at all - unless you have high accessibility needs/movement restrictions…
Surrounded by quiet (no kids!), lush rainforest & nature sounds with views of the ocean. Resort restaurants were also very good, with amazing views. Personalised, prompt service and warm, thoughtful staff. Twice-daily room cleaning was a pleasant surprise.

NetherlandsOur spa treatment was overpriced, we paid roughly 1800 rm because it was the suggestion but then we realised you could get massage + dinner for 850 rm for 2 people.
This was the best hotel during our 2 week Malaysia trip, very kind and helpful staff, great environment, all the facilities were considered, picturesque view from the room and delicious meals…
