Halcyon Days @ Langkawi

The view

No tv

Imran at the property was an exceptional human being,l. He helped with everything. The property is spacious and offers you a calm, serene environment with beautiful landscapes. The hotel also rented us a scooter which helped a lot in traveling. The breakfast was really good and we were also given a small dessert everyday. The room and washroom was clean, tidy, smelled nice and had everything one could ask for. This property is tonally recommended for people who love to live near nature, like spacious gardens with brautiful views and love to drive scooters.

The bed mattress was not too good. The springs were all worn out and it gave both my wife and I backache.

Výborná poloha (pokud máte půjčen skútr), krásné čisté domečky, naprostý klid. Vynikající snídaně!

Returning clients! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the first time and we decided to extend our stay here. The ambience is peaceful and serene, away from the crowds, and provides the opportunity to rest one's mind. Expect clean rooms with decent bedding. Bathrooms are clean and functional. If needed, there are selected linked rooms. We found this a great set-up to have my elderly father next door and being able to check on him whilst maintaining our privacy. The 5G internet connectivity did help me keep in touch with email and such from afar. Ample outdoor seating is available. A centrally located amenities/ dining area provides 24/7 access to filtered water, hot water and DIY coffee/ tea. The crew who operate this place are very considerate and accommodating. It's the type of attitude we wish everyone should be! It is recommended that one has a hired car or motorcycle to venture around Langkawi island. If no arrangements have been made, the owner can facilitate vehicle hire. Bicycles and a motorcycle are available on site. Breakfast is included with options that include a variety of local delights. Watch the sunset along the mountain range or marvel on the local animals that help work the paddy fields. Overall, this place is fabulous and great value. Clients can expect a pleasant stay with a different rural experience (important to note that this is not a 5* hotel but is honestly such a nice place to relax and unwind).

We enjoyed everything! There were no concerns from my missus and 90 year old father. Woohoo!!! The owners are also very considerate and will appreciate any constructive feedback or concerns if any.

A delightful and quaint stay in a strategic location towards the center of Langkawi island. If one has a hired car/ motorcycle, this place is perfect to base yourself and travel around the island. The air-conditioned rooms were very clean with good bedding. All rooms are equipped with a fridge and other furnishings that make the stay both, practical and pragmatic. Fresh towels, shampoo and body wash were provided. The rain water style shower heads have ample water pressure for a refreshing wash after exploring the tropical island. Breakfast choices provided primarily comprise of local Malaysian fare together with traditional 'kuih' and fresh local fruits. Coffee and tea was also available making breakfast ample for a solid start to the day. The hosts and staff were polite and extremely approachable. The grounds were safe, spacious and the rural setting amidst the rice fields only added to the relaxing stay. Secure Parking is available on site. Recommended and we hope to return again!

'Nothing' as we knew what to expect and wanted a different experience compared to the usual run of the mill commercialised hotel vibe! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Die Gastgeber sind wirklich nett und haben uns auch erlaubt am Abreisetag bis 17.00 das Zimmer zu nutzen.

Das Hotel ist eine Katastrophe! Es ist mir unbegreiflich wie es zu diesen guten Bewertungen gekommen ist. Ich habe bereits weit über 100 Unterkünfte über Booking.com gebucht aber noch nie eine so schlechte Bewertung geben müssen. Die Gastgeber sind leider nur 5 Tage pro Monat vor Ort, ansonsten managen 2 "Jungs" das Hotel - und die tun GAR NICHTS! Alle 3 Tage soll das Zimmer gereinigt werden, wird es aber in der Praxis nicht. Wenn man nicht mit allem hinterher rennt passiert gar nichts, keine neuen Handtücher von alleine, kein Mülleimer wird geleert, keine fehlenden Frühstückszutaten werden nachgekauft - wirklich gar nichts! Ich habe so etwas wirklich noch nie erlebt. Das Frühstück besteht aus Toast, 2 Marmeladen, Butter, Ei (falls vorhanden Wassermelone und Banane) und Instant Kaffee. Die Anlage könnte wirklich schön und idyllisch sein, ist sie aber nicht, es wird an den 5 Tagen wenn die Besitzer da sind wahrscheinlich immer gewerkelt und alles ist nur halbfertig und alles liegt rum (siehe Fotos). Die Zimmer sind einfach aber in Ordnung. Wir haben bei diesem Preis nichts spektakuläres erwartet aber so wenig service und so eine vermüllte Anlage, wirklich Schade. ACHTUNG: Wir waren mit einem 4 jährigen Kind dort und das Hotel besitzt einen Hund der aggressiv auf Kinder reagiert - ein absolutes no go diesen Tag und Nacht frei rumlaufen zu lassen. Unser Kind konnte sich nie frei bewegen oder mal rennen oder toben in der Anlage, der Hund hat sofort aggressiv geknurrt. Wir lieben Hunde aber dieser war echt nicht berechenbar und sehr aggressiv.

Clean room, rent a scooter directly from the location

I had to kick out geckos from the room at least 1time/night because of their sound.

Un cadre enchanteur, paisible des propriétaires charmants et sympathiques. Les chambres sont impeccables et propres. Comptez entre 10-15 min en scooter pour rejoindre la plage.

Rien

Casetta con ingresso autonomo, parte di una struttura, situata in campagna. Negozi, ristoranti e spiaggia Raggiungibili facilmente in 5’ con taxi oppure con scooter a noleggio (disponibile anche nella struttura). Colazione occidentale (caffè, uova, marmellata e toast) oppure a scelta secondo la cucina locale.

Wir hatten gezielt 14 Tage hier als Pause zum Wiederaufladen der Batterien eingeplant. Und das hat auch sehr gut geklappt. Man ist umgeben von Natur und wird von Kühen und Vögeln geweckt, weit weg vom Partystrand in Cenang. Das Frühstück ist schlicht, aber lecker, oft gibt es frisches Obst. Wir wurden gut bersorgt und konnten alles besorgen, was wir brauchten. Das Internet ist superschnell und so kann man hier auch sehr gut in Ruhe arbeiten, an Meetings teilnehmen oder die kommenden Reiseabschnitte planen. Mit dem Roller den man direkt in der Unterkunft für ca 8. Euro pro Tag mieten kann, kann man dann die komplette Insel erkunden.

Man braucht zwingend einen fahrbaren Untersatz, sonst wird es schwierig, denn man ist mitten im Nirgendwo. Wer Luxus sucht ist hier auch an der falschen Adresse. Die Ausstattung und der Service sind aber mehr als gut für den Preis. Dennoch würde eine Grundreinigung oder ein neuer Anstrich hier und da gut tun. Die 2 Jungs haben sich fast 24/7 super um uns gekümmert, sind aber auch keine ausgebildeten Hotelfachkräfte sondern eher da, um nach dem Rechten zu schauen.

Really liked it. Clean room, nice calm environment and good wifi. Approx. 12 to 15 min on the scooter to the beach. Perfect for me.

La tranquilidad del entorno

El desayuno es bastante limitado

Posizione molto tranquilla in mezzo al verde, struttura pulita e ben tenuta.

Niente

Sehr ruhig, geradezu idyllisch gelegene, grosse Bungalows umgeben von Reisfeldern, modern und ansprechend eingerichtet, makellos sauber. Kühlschrank und Wasserkocher auf dem Zimmer, gutes Frühstück und sehr aufgeschlossene und freundliche Betreiber. Kein Restaurant in der Nähe, wenn man kein eigenes Fahrzeug hat, Essen mitbringen oder liefern lassen! Supermarkt mit Rad ( auszuleihen, aber nicht für große Menschen) schnell zu erreichen.

The location is a close drive away from two main beaches, although you will need some transport to move around. The rooms are comfortable and the outside area is also relaxing. The owners are kind.

One evening some guests were a bit loud.

The location and the staff

Beautiful accommodation in nature, it is quiet. There are a few local restaurants nearby that are worth a visit. The staff was really helpful. We hired scooters and everything was flawless.

There was no hairdryer in the room.

Good location. So quiet, highly recommend to those who rent own scooter or car. Very clean, comfortable. If you don’t like warm meal for breakfast just order roti, it’s just like pancake. Overall we were so happy with this place we extended our stay

Velice klidné prostředí, pusobí jak kemp na klidném venkově. Personál moc milí. Postel pohodlná, celkově čisto a i když klimatizace nejela uplně skvěle a nebyla teplá voda. Hodnotím to jako velice povedené ubytko ma ostrově a hned bych se vrátila🙂

Rooms were comfortable and clean

Breakfast was quite bad

Good view and decent rooms

NA

Calme Le personnel disponible pret à satisfaire toutes les demandes Donne des glaçons, trouve une moto à louer

Loin de tout , epicerie, restaurants Pas de verre en salle de bain , pas de TV pas de piscine petit dejeuner à commander à l'avance, un plat malais mais c'est une expérience originla

Very friendly staff, excellent facilities & good location.

We had a problem with cockroach for one night, but it got fixed.

The rooms are good and clean. All over the location is very good.

We are pure vegetarians and already informed them to prepare veg food. But they didn't understand it well and served the non-veg food for breakfast. There is some kind of bell/ring sounds on early morning and late night which disturb our sleep.

I came here with group of 4 for LIHM event. Got 2 rooms next to each other (1 & 2) that also interconnected with each other inside. 1 room has queen size bed while another one has 2 single beds. What do I like? ✓ location-wise is good. Close to airport, laundry, warung for breakfast, famous Cili Kampung restaurant. ✓ view also nice. They have pangkin for quest to sit and eat breakfast while enjoy being outside and see the view & cows ✓ very helpful staff. The boss is reachable thru whatsapp but they got also staff-in charge there. I must they are helpful & willing to help. For example, we told him that we're gonna go out early 530am in the morning & he had no problem to help us open the gate (fyi the gate is locked 12am - 7am). Another example is that - I'm asking for febreeze cuz the pillow somehow smells unpleasant, so he went out and bought 1 for us to use. Service? Excellent. ✓ clean. Altho we found 1 cockroach but I think that came in from outside (maybe). Other than that, I think rooms are clean. ✓ bathroom is spacious enough. Got heater. ✓ has pantry and coway for you too get hot water, make some coffee. Also got big refrigerator there.

- breakfast included. BUT we think they are not that great. That got few choices like nasi lemak, nasi ayam kunyit etc but the taste just average or below average. They didnt cook themselves, they bought the breakfast outside. Maybe each guest's breakfast around RM2-3. It's okay (at least has breakfast) but if you prefer to have better meal in the morning, it's recommended to just find some warung nearby to eat. But you can choose either to have breakfast or not. So it's optional. - no privacy if you have stranger as your next door neighbour because there's no soundproofing. We could here almost everything from next room. It's suitable if you bring family or come with friends so you can take two rooms that next to each other.

cleanliness

far from city

A nice and quiet place to stay in Langkawi for those who want a simple, yet comfortable stay. Breakfast was included and a motorcycle was available for rent from them. It’s only 15 minutes away from the airport and pantai cenang main beach by grab or motorcycle. The room is basic but very clean and spacious. The garden is beautiful too with areas where you can chill and relax outdoors. Communication with the host was great. Would highly recommend.

Nothing

Lokasi menarik, tenang dan nyaman.. Ada pemandangan sawah.. Sesuai untuk family yang suka kan tempat yang tenang dan tak sibuk.. Bilik luas dan selesa

The serene environment

None

mantappp.. location not so far dr tmpt crowded.. ada breakfast..

Reservé 3 noches y terminé quedándome una semana. Depende de lo que estés buscando: yo quería naturaleza y tranquilidad, y a mí me encantó el hotel. Son minicasitas rodeadas de zonas verdes. He visto que algunas personas se quejan de los bichitos, pero estás en plena naturaleza; a mí no me molestaron ni se metieron en la habitación. Me sentí muy cómoda y, si algún día vuelvo, sin duda repetiré. Los dos chicos que trabajan allí son muy amables y cada mañana dejan el desayuno. Gracias por todo y, por favor, cuiden mucho a Dex, es una perrita muy buena.

Algo más de luz en el baño no estaría mal

We arrived late in the night because of the flight delay, but the staff patiently waiting for us. It is a nice place where you can see the green paddy field and you will hear birds chirping in the morning, which makes the experience worth while.

Clean, good value for the fee we paid, very quiet and pleasant surroundings.

This is not property owner’s fault. The whole Langkawi’s public water system is mediocre. Water has a strange yellowish color. We stayed other hotels in Langkawi also had this problem, so basically no complaint to this property.

Owners at the property made us feel home and my family enjoyed 5 nights stay with all the facilities just like at home. Both staff are very polite and friendly. Always ready to help us in all ways possible. Best place to spend time with family and all the attraction places are close by. Unforgettable memories at the place with great views of mountains surrounded. Would recommend everyone to this place and it's the best price they are giving at also they arranged a bike for us to roam around with zero hassle.

I wish if there was something to write about 😆

Its very serene and calm. The view was very beautiful, its surrounded by greenery. The room and hotel property was very clean and well maintaned. The room is spacious. The owner is very welcoming and friendly.

Nothing

I did not take breakfast...if provided it should be okay for me

Tv should be provided to all room in my opinion

Such a great place! A quiet little paradise on the island — you can rent a bike and explore on your own, just 10–15 minutes from the beaches. There’s a big supermarket nearby, the staff is amazing, the bungalows are lovely, and sunsets is absolutely mind-blowing!

The property is very spacious, the breakfast was great. The staff did great to handle our request for vegetation breakfast. I really liked the vibe at the property, I was doing a workation and the whole vibe was very calm and homely which really helped. The wifi was very good and it was important since we were doing workation.

Excellent

Excellent

Very peaceful and serene location in a village surrounded by rice fields. Clean simple comfortable accommodation, nice staff, breakfast provided. Good internet.

Nothing, all good

What a nice place to stay! I felt like being in my hometown for a while. Staff is super friendly and helpful and houses super minimal but sufficient! Cows and birds all around! Would definitely recommend it :)

The place is very nice, very clean and is located in a very quiet and beautiful place with a view of the mountains!

A very nice and spacious room with super comfortable bed, fridge and kettle. Owners are very kind and helpful. The location is a bit away but we had rented a motorbike so it was very okay because the surroundings are amazing with the greeneries and cows/ buffalos.

All was great.

The breakfast was excellent, with the hosts taking the time to ask for our preferences and catering to them perfectly. This thoughtful approach allowed us to sample a variety of local delicacies, which was a delightful experience. Our stay was incredibly peaceful. Nestled amidst lush green fields, the property offers picturesque views, a refreshing cool breeze, and the soothing sounds of chirping birds, buzzing insects, and the occasional cluck of hens to wake up to each morning. It’s a serene escape into nature that feels truly rejuvenating. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat, even if it’s a bit removed from the city’s bustling areas. It’s ideal for those who want to sit back, soak in the views, enjoy the breeze, and perhaps sip a beer. However, if your idea of a getaway includes loud music and partying, this might not be the best fit for you.

I loved how quiet, peaceful and tranquil it was. imran, the staff attending to us are polite and attentive. The room was really clean. Although basic, I'll say it is one of the best decisions we made to avoid Pantai Cenang. This place was a good base to visit all the different attractions in the island. Since we are mostly out from morning till night, we didn't mind not having any facilities like a pool or such. Breakfast was super local which we loved having it over a quiet morning. If you are the type who doesn't really use hotel amenities much, save your money and stay here. Spend on the many delicious food in Langkawi instead.

I wish we came in time before the paddies wete harvested but it was still nice to stay among the greens and water buffalos and their companion friend, bangau.

Good location central for most places, large room, comfy beds, friendly staff, good shower, tasty breakfast, and fun hammocks outside.

No, everything was fine.

Location, view of paddy fields and the quietness, very good for rest. The fact that we can watch the wildlife, kites, herons and plenty of cows (namesake is Kg Bukit Lembu), and village life for a peaceful experience. Two gazebos at the corner of the property has perfect hammocks and spaces for yoga or tai chi. Breakfast is good too! Appreciate the coffee, tea facilities, and fridge. And a space to read and do journalling. I love the fact that there is no TV in the rooms.

The place was a little secluded - I didn't mind it and I enjoy the quiet space, and some travellers may like it as it is slightly away from busy touristy area. The owners know my concern due to an earlier minor issue, and hotel staff should be alert and aware to answer calls if there is an emergency. Speak to the owners if being in a remote area is a security concern for you.

Disconnected from touristed spots

Nothing

Great experience & so calm. Staff so helpful. 15mins to Cenang.

its better to improve the garden to be more aesthetic

The room was very clean, the staff were very friendly and humble, and the property was surrounded by greenery. We also got the room ready before the check-in time.

No

Great location great scenery. Very very friendly staff. Nice owner ,Clean rooms , spacious bathroom, nice dining area for family. Everything is very dreamy. I love the area.

Only one pillow per guest. I requested 2 but they only gave 3 extra for 10 people. I prefer quilt comforters. But the provided some kind of hard towel type cadar. Other than that all good. They can open the bbq options. And bathroom door slide was a bit problematic.

quiet, relax, kampung life, friendly,

nothing we can think of, everything fine 🙂

The rooms were very affordable and worth the price we pay .The staffs and the owners are very good with communication.

They could have provided cloth hangers in room . 1 to 2 chair inside the room . The Door of 1 of the room needs maintenance. They could have make some kids play area like swing and slide . They have land even to build a swimming pool which will give the villa a resort feel.

The natural tranquility of the place. The fabulous host Mr & Mrs Ben and the caretakers.

Nothing to mention.

Serene vibe and cosy ambience. Great hospitality by the staff, giving their extra mile service Wonderful complimentary breakfast and appreciate that the pantry is always available for clean drinking water.

No TV, however this is small issue, might be their priority is for guests to have ample and quiet rest.

Its really calm and beautiful place. We spent here perfect time with our kid. Very very very clean. Local breakfasts are amazing. Parking and close to nice locations far away from tacky places near beach.

Very much welcoming. Simple and clean room. Good views. Simple but Good breakfast

Just the location. Its hard to find any places nearby for food

None

It is in remote area built in mid of farm. Lot of Lizards and cockroaches inside room. Breakfast is nothing but a simple packet from outside hotel. Staff will not event care about you when you arrive or leave during your stay. Very difficult to find basic necessities near by.

Serene location . Squeaky Clean rooms and bathrooms . The staff are very friendly and professional . We got privacy throughout our stay . We felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay . The staff is very helpful when you need them . The owners have done an excellent job with the stay . Hope they keep up the standards especially the cleanliness in the future .

Nothing . If I had to nitpick probably a small induction cooker where guests (especially families with kids ) can make quick meals like eggs , noodles etc . Loved that the microwave , water filter, toaster etc come handy !

The place is at a peaceful location with lush green surroundings and such a positive vibe the place has rooms that are so clean and hygienic, is very much near to the airport and has easy access to all locations. The hosts here are such sweet people and very welcoming. As we were 2 girls on this trip they even checked on us over call to see if we were safe, the best place and an amazing host. I would love to come back to this stay once more just for the hosts. Even the breakfast served was so tasty and matched our Indian taste buds.

NA

The location is very calm and serene. Overall property is well planned and beautiful. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The hosts are the best! Made us all feel like home.

Not applicable

I had a very good time. The staff was really kind and helpfull. Thank you so much

It was a quiet neighborhood, the room was very large and the dog was really cool

The blanket was not comfortable and we had some lizards in our apartment. The breakfast was also disappointing. On one morning we had two small crepes with a dip..

We had such a wonderful time at this charming house! The owner and his wife are truly the best - so friendly and welcoming, we spent hours chatting with them and never felt bored. They gave us fantastic recommendations for restaurants, swimming spots, and relaxation spots, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The location is absolutely perfect - close enough to the beach to enjoy the sand, but far enough away from the crowds and noise for a peaceful stay. We highly recommend this property!

Everything was great.

The view was great.

Too much lizard dropping, upon check in, dust on the bed and pillow, book a room for 3 adult, but breakfast portion is for 2.

Room was exactly as described in the listing and very good. Breakfast was simple, but quite good. Every day, they gave us choices from which to choose. They accommodated our request for vegetarian breakfast in every way possible. The location is quite interior and within a picturesque village. In the morning, you wake up surrounded by paddy fields and have an awesome feeling.

Rooms that are further down have weak wifi. Between 12 midnight and 8 am, there will be no caretaker staff at the property. The rooms are not cleaned and made up daily - it is ok but it should be mentioned clearly in the listing.

Our recent stay in Langkawi with my mom was truly exceptional, thanks to the cozy accommodations and the wonderful hosts. The place was exactly as pictured – warm, inviting, and comfortable. Every morning, we were delighted with excellent breakfasts featuring local cuisine and delicious local desserts. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable, generously sharing their culture and culinary traditions with us. The location is also very convenient, easily accessible via Grab taxi, making our explorations around Langkawi effortless. Overall, it was a fantastic stay in a charming place with outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Langkawi!

The people who was there was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good. They are so kind hearted and understanding

Clean and spacious room and toilet

Feel like may as well take the breakfast out of the offer (just food packets), location is quite far from Cenang (10 mins drive) and the staff was a bit awkward (can be more friendly)
