Owner
Took two nights stay so i can fully rest. But staff just came in and switch off my aircond at 12noon. It was so hot in the afternoon I suffocated. I thought it was policy or something so i bear with it. Finally at 3pm I cant stand it, i switch it back on. Bird shit and lizard shit were everywhere.
Hilfsbereitschaft von Joe. Er hat sich um unsere Fährtickt gekümmert. Unterkunft sehr zentral gelegen.
自助式
没有
- super Lage - Host sehr sehr freundlich - Wasserhahn mit Trinkwasserfilter im Gemeinschaftsbereich
- Keine Schallisolierung und Moschee direkt gegenüber - Internet im Zimmer mittelmäßig schnell
Location was good. In the heart of chinatown near the mosque, but far away enough from the bustling tourist areas. Decent restaurants nearby, and easy to find. The host John was nice. Decent size inside, with places to dry clothes, and filter water from the tap. The showers were also not bad. Good air con in the dorm room, and lockers too.
The mosquitos were a big problem. Though a coil was burning they constantly pestered me in the downstairs area. They weren't as bad in the dorm room but you have to be on guard. There was a smell of drains downstairs. Had to self check in, which was ok, but the host wasn't around much. Having to lock/unlock the door each time you left/entered the property was a bit inconvenient. The beds were also super creaky!
Good location... Room was clean but the ground floor was just like a lodge facility..
Groundfloor smell and cleanliness
Great location. Jo is really friendly and give you great recommendations. It was clean. AC working well.
Bed comfy, but cranky and noisy. Lucky we were only two in the dorm.
Bon rapport qualité prix pour un dortoir Bon emplacement et le jeune homme est très gentil
Matelas un peu dur
Good
Basic mais très bien situé. Calme. Accueil quasi toujours vide mais quand la personne est là, accueillante.
位置很不错,走出去就可以逛街了。但是房子比较老。整体性价比还是可以的
Location, very clean acomodation
The Guesthouse is a small, quiet property. Perfect for the price. The street is right off one of the main Malacca’s busy street. It is a good location to go everywhere, and Joe is very helpful, he replies quite fast to Whatsapp messages.
Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Bardzo przyjemna obsługa. Na jedną noc w porządku.
Bardzo twarde łóżko, ascetyczny wystrój pokoi, łazienka bardzo podstawowa.
Cheap
Hot ac down no one responsible for it and I barely die because overheating by the room. And terrible mosquito all the time it all because poor cleaning
Sehr nette Vermieterin kümmert sich auch darum Backpacker zusammenzubringen für Ausglüge etc.
Die Klimaanlang ist am vorderen Ende des Zimmers dadurch frieren die deren Bett ganz vorne ist und die hinten sind am schwitzen
前台小哥人特别好,提前问我们什么时间到,由于我到的比较晚,还说帮我留钥匙,我在booking上还问了好多东西,都给我说了。主要就是态度很好。
空调坏了,但是我住的这晚不是很热,所以打开窗户和风扇,也是没问题的。
ロケーションはメインのところに近くてよかった
小さい虫がいること。毎日噛まれてた。
Muy atento el personal y cerca del centro.
La habitación es pequeña.
The location and hospitality.
The mattress..
Locatie ligt centraal
Airco deed het niet, en het zag er verwaarloost en niet fris uit.
很推荐!地理位置很好,就在步行街附近!

老板人很好,地理位置很优越!
Posizione ottima. Personale gentile e disponibile. Possibilità di utilizzare frigorifero e bollitore.
Assenza di aria condizionata ed assenza di divisori nei letti in dormitorio. Assenza di personale, ho visto qualcuno dello staff solamente al mio arrivo per il check- in, poi non ho più visto nessuno all’interno della struttura. Questo per me è stato motivo di grande ansia. Essere da sola, all’interno di una struttura senza poter di notte chiudere a chiave la stanza del dormitorio. Non sapevo se alloggiavano altri ospiti o se effettivamente ero l’unica. In piena notte, è entrato un ragazzo per dormire in un letto nel dormitorio ma ha soggiornato per sole tre ore, alle quattro del mattino ha lasciato la struttura. È stata una notte da incubo per me!
Ośrodek znajduje się w centrum miasta. Wszędzie jest blisko. Wybraliśmy pokój z prywatną łazienką. Było czysto łóżko wygodne. Ciepła woda i klimatyzacja.
Nasz pokój był poprawny. Niestety z toalety wycieka woda na łazienkę. Nad umywalka w pokoju mokra i popękana ścianę zaklejono kawałkiem tapety. Pokój ma cienkie ścianki z dykty które nie tłumią hałasu. Okno jest na korytarz. Część wspólna jest zaniedbana i brudna. Brakuje talerzy , kubków, sztućce. Ten hotelik mógłby wyglądać lepiej , wystarczy posprzątać, zadbać o szczegóły i niestety wymaga remontu. Zaklejanie zalanej i popękanej ściany kawałkiem tapety to nie jest rozwiązanie. No i oczywiście meczet obok.
Right in the middle of the Jonker Walk area. Surrounded by restaurants and stalls. Walking distance from the historical area and malls. Very easy check in. In a very old building so has a nice rustic charm.
The staff only checks you in and then leaves. So you are given a set of keys to lock up when you enter and exit the property. Didn’t matter to me but in case you need something there’s no staff on duty to ask for it. But this is a small matter.
Super localisation ! Proche de tout à pieds et même si dans le centre de Chinatown c’est pas trop bruyant Hôte super agréable et gentil ! Disponible pour répondre à toutes vos questions et vous donner ses meilleures adresses et lieux à visiter :))
Proximité avec la mosquée (donc réveil tôt le matin)
Near Jonker Walk
I like with the price
Location, staff, really convenient and good value hostel
There is hot water and a refrigerator
The air conditioner was an old model and didn't provide much cooling. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room and I had dozens of red bite marks on my body.
It was close to city center.
They didnt give me a towel and there is no shampoo or body wash.
Great location
Host could only be contacted by What's App
Location is perfect! We had a private room with shared bathroom. Room was good enough.
There was no windows in the room
Had the best stay here. The hostel is not too big but with several group activities like Chinese calligraphy curse or tea ceremony it is easy to get to know other travelers. Charen makes sure everybody is we’ll entertained during there stay, she is such a lovly host! Besides this, There are also 2 small common areas, bed was absolutely comfortable, there is also a curtain and small light.
It’s not absolutely central and it’s hard to explore the area without a scooter. The attractions are wide spread so you have to make a tour. That’s a bit annoying but of course nothing about the accommodation Important note: in Thanh rata is grab!
Perfect location within Malacca
The staff was very absent and felt cold as well, not very helpful either
A nice, spacious room, clean bathrooms, an area to prepare some basic food. Hot water, AC, possibility of doing the laundry. Hot water dispenser, fridge. Great location, a few steps from the Jonker Walk. Great place.
The kitchenette could also have cold filtered water and some more utensils. The room doesnt have a window.
Joe is a good guy, and very helpful. A single room for that price is not easy to find.
No air-conditioning in the single room. There is one in the dormitory tho.
comfortable and quiet
Great location, 10/10. Accommodations are basic but clean and comfortable, good value for money. This place is really made by the host - Jo. He is great, incredibly helpful and very social. Melaka is a great city with a unique chaotic lovely vibe and I wish I’d stayed longer. I warmly recommend this place!
Nothing, should’ve stayed longer :(
Very flexible
The only positive aspect is the location in old town. Just of Jonker street.
I knew it was kind of hostel where we rented a private room with private bathroom but i was expecting a little bit more. Certainly for the price we payed. The accomodation is definitely not worth the price. Towels were dirty when we arrived. Tap in shower was leaking. Absolutely no sound insulation at all. Voices on the hallway sounded as if they were standing in the room.
Very nice house in a convenient location in jonker street.
Nice place to stay, close to center and night market.
Friendly staff and good location
A towel for the shower would have been a plus
Free breakfast, free tea coffee and water all day, lovely staff, good links with local tour guides. We booked a half-day tour through the Guesthouse which was BRILLIANT and was better value for money than booking online.
Location and cleanliness
Clean, good ac, kind host
Nothing
It was close to everything we wanted to visit, and it had a good price. It was clean and tidy.
The beds in the shared rooms have no curtains.
Had all the basic things you need. The ensuite bathroom with heater
Probably need to enforce some rules on noises after certain hours so as not to disturb others' sleep. There was another traveller who had her laptop in full volume at the common area below and we had trouble sleeping. She was aware of our presence (that she wasn't alone) yet did not bother to lower the volume. Also goes to say don't expect good soundproofing here.
Simple, value for money, great location, friendly proprietor, quiet, not crowded. Highly recommended.
Cosy, comfortable, affordable, and more atmosphere than some places I stayed recently. I'm extending my stay.
A water cooler would've been nice.
Jo is so friendly and helpful. The guest house is in a wonderful location you have use of a fridge and a washing machine there is also boiling water for tea and coffee. The WiFi is strong and reliable. I stayed in two different rooms the ac double then moved to the fan single room, both were very comfortable.
Nothing really springs to mind.
Location.
In the booking side, it said a SINGLE bed in dorm and displayed one bed as well. But in reality, there were two single beds in the room, but they offered me a bunk bed, which I did not expect. I was DECEIVED, and my bed was given to some body else! When expressed my concern, the manager said that I could cancel my booking at night. No one is available at the reception, the manager comes only in the morning and at night. They take heritage tax but do not give any receipt! Unbelievable!!!
Really kindly host Jo! It was very short stay, but he opened my mind and talked a lot. He took me to the bus terminal even though I didn’t reserve.
I was in trouble how to use the warm shower, later I found that it’s ok just push the button out side. So that was not big problem.
Great location Good value for the price Jo, the host, is super nice and helpful
The room facilities could be a bit cleaner
The host Jo is very friendly and accommodating, so he really makes the place. Location is close to everything you would want to see without being on a busy road. Everything was clean. I felt safe and comfortable. Towels were provided and shower gel is in the bathroom.
6AM call to prayer is really really loud as the mosque is very close by so it woke us up every morning. Hallway and the room could smell a bit musty, using the air con removed that from the room.
Good location, very chill hostel
The private room had a fan but it was very hot anyways without aircon. Beds not really comfortable.
- Jo was a really lovely host, and always willing to help. - The location was great! In walking distance to everything needed. - The room was comfortable and the bed was good. - The bathroom was always clean and you can tell the place is looked after well.
Nothing!
Location was very convenient and the host was quite nice. Quite clean area overall and had some books for entertainment.
The shared bathroom was a bit small and there wasn't much shampoo. The room also had a bit of sewer smell.
Nice host. Clean shared washroom.
Bad smell of the sewage. Bad soundproof
Location. Clean common area.
No staff present. Very dirty walls next to the bed in the single room.
The staff were very accommodating and helpful with giving me suggestions of things to do in the area. They also allowed me to check in at midnight which was great. A nice quiet hotel in a great location.

The price of the hostel.
Next to mosques. Light sleeper not recommended, 5+ morning start to hear the praying
Good location, comfortable room, very personable and helpful manager. Washing machine available with detergent for small fee. Good value.
A little bit noisy with the nearby mosque and other noise from outside but not terrible.
All good, with nice locations and good customer service :)
First night without AC
it was in a good part of the city, walkable to everything but at a distance where it wasn't loud at night. strong aircon. decent sized room. not bad for one night.
the walls are paper thin so you hear everything from other rooms. the bathroom wasn't dirty, but it didn't feel clean. the bed wasn't the comfiest. given the price, it should've been a little better quality or alternatively, cheaper.
Good location and clean room Great AC Very comfy bed Good working shower
Bathroom door didn’t shut well No windows
