It’s right on the beach.
Service wasn’t the best. Breakfast was small and could take about 45 -60 minutes to get. It took them a long time to clear the plates.
Staff accogliente. Cibo molto buono.
Abbiamo trovato due formicai in camera, non c’è ricambio di asciugamani neanche per pernottamenti lunghi
calme en bout d ile Assez sauvage
peu d'equipement
La posizione è in una baia molto tranquilla. Non c'è molto intorno, a parte qualche ristorantino.
Segnalo a chi dovesse considerare la struttura che siamo scappati dopo 2 notti perchè le camere sono infestate da cimici del letto o del legno. Non siamo riusciti a capire quali esattamente, ma mia moglie è stata punta almeno 100 volte e io simile con conseguenti ponfi e prurito importante. Siamo stati costretti a fuggire e andare a un altro lodge per evitare gravi condizioni di salute e infezione. Lo staff è a conoscenza del problema, ma non dice nulla. Proprio per questo, a seguito della mia segnalazione e lamentela, ci ha ridato praticamente tutti i soldi del soggiorno in contanti. Ci tenevo comunque a segnalare la nostra disavventura per evitarla ad altri.
Vriendelijk personeel, vroeg inchecken was geen probleem. Locatie is fantastisch.
WAARSCHUWING voor mensen met allergieën! Lees dit voor je boekt! Meerdere kamers kampen met een plaag van mijten die het hout opeten, maar bijten ‘s nachts ook gasten, waaronder ons! Ook hebben meerdere kamers zwarte schimmel, erg gevaarlijk voor mensen met anafylaxie! Het lijkt alsof de eigenaar wel van deze problemen af weet, maar wil dit niet toegeven.
The location is superb! It was everything I'm looking for. The beach, the atmosphere and the staff were incredibly helpfulf and kind. I'm more than pleased with my choice. I ended up extending my stay on Tioman with two extra days just to soak more tropical island vibe. A huge recommendation !

Das kleine Chalet ist direkt am Strand von Juara. Wer ursprüngliches Inselleben und wenig Infrastruktur bevorzugt, ist hier genau richtig. Das Personal ist sehr fürsorglich und kümmert sich um alle Anliegen.
Die Chalets sind ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Wind, Wetter und Getier setzen Ihnen verständlicherweise zu. Allerdings schlägt der Preis viele andere Unterkünfte ringsherum und die netten Menschen vor Ort machen den Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem.
La camera era spaziosa e pulita, la vista è bellissima. Il personale molto gentile, abbiamo passato dei giorni rilassanti in un posto stupendo.
Unica pecca: siamo stati lì 4 giorni, ma la camera non é mai stata pulita
La vue depuis la chambre est magique ! Les équipements sont simples mais vu le l’emplacement on oublie vite ce détail ☺️ Personnel adorable, communication avec la gérante par message 👍👍 très réactive. L’organisation de la récupération en voiture depuis la jetée d’arrivée et de départ 👌
La qualité des serviettes de toilette (très usées). Il manque quelques transats sur la plage (au moins un par chambre serait top). Nettoyer la plage devant les bungalows (beaucoup de mégots laissés dans le sable par les fumeurs irrespectueux du lieu malheureusement).
Świetny personel, który był bardzo pomocny. Wspaniała lokalizacja tuż przy plaży ze wspaniałymi widokami.
Po drodze jest dość zanieczyszczony i śmierdzący zbiornik/ciek wodny który robi bardzo złe wrażenie, mógłby być wysprzątany.
Perfekte Lage mitten am schönen Strand, diser Teil war immer sauber! Das Zimmer ist herrlich gelegen, ruhig und der Zugang zum Strand perfekt. Wir wussten, dass das Zimmer klein ist, es hat aber ohne Probleme eine Matratze für unsere Tochter ins Zimmer gepasst. Die Klimaanlage war top.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut, aber es hat gedauert bis es auf dem Tisch stand. Das Bett war bequem nachdem wir selber die Holzbretter unter der Matratze gerichtet hatten.
Tutto
Niente
Las vistas eran inmejorables, y el personal fue muy amable en todo momento. Nos facilitaron la entrada a la habitación antes de la hora establecida ya que estábamos esperando.
No estaba muy limpio, a pesar de entrar y ver qué acaban de limpiar, tenía telarañas en el baño , y la repisa del lavabo estaba un poco estropeada. Por otro lado, la habitación tenía bastantes hormigas. Y la colcha de la cama tenía alguna mancha .
Die Lage war sehr schön. Der Strand war sozusagen vor der Tür. Service und Frühstück waren okay.
Die Betten waren sehr weich und die Klimaanlage sehr laut. Aber dies ist bestimmt auch Ansichtssache.
Obiekt położony na cudownej plaży, po drugiej stronie dżungli. Bardzo spokojne miejsce z przepysznym azjatyckim jedzeniem w menu. Dla wybrednych wersja zachodnia również istnieje. Surferski klimat, bardzo miła obsługa zarówno kelnerska jak i po stronie recepcji. Idealne miejsce na odpoczynek.Wioska malownicza, w której czas płynie zdecydowanie wolniej.
Nie da się wymyślić nic niegatywnego. Może słabo działające wifi w domkach. Chociaż w tym miejscu może to na plus?
L'emplacement, la salle de bain
Le petit dejeuner pas incroyable
Vue sur la mer, hébergement sur la plage, personnel adorable, lit confortable. Endroit paradisiaque, bonne ambiance entre les voyageurs et cadre parfait pour se reposer, personne sur la plage. Le personnel de l’hôtel est à disposition et offre un choix d’activités très large : snorkeling, plongée, randonnées, yoga (à tester c’était super). Il y a plusieurs offres de restaurants locaux (en plus de celui de l’hôtel) Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un agréable séjour !
Petit déjeuner très léger et pas très qualitatif, chaleur dans la salle de bain et insectes, serviette de douche mauvaise odeur, wifi ne marche pas dans la chambre
The location is just perfect, beautiful empty beach and very friendly staff. We had the best sleep we have had in years with the sound of the sea so close.
We saw one of the cats pee in the restaurant and the server noticed but didn't clean it. My husband also found hair in his food (but mentioned it later so it was too late for me to complain). The cleanliness of the bathroom in our hut wasn't great. The mirror doors and glass dividers all needed attention. We knew it would be rustic and the basic hut was fine, just would be better if cleaner. The 'steps' to the bar on the beach are nothing but dangerous. I would have ordered much more if I wasn't too scared to go up the steps again. Since there is a sand fly problem on the beach it would be good to offer some more sun beds so you can get off the sand and maybe a couple of umbrellas for those of us who burn even with factor 50 😅

Petit déjeuner, propreté de la chambre pas de ménage de fait pendant 5 jours
Having the beach right at your door step
The bed was not very comfortable
I loved the wibe of this place. Kind and attentive staff. Located in a quiet and beautiful place. The restaurant serves good food in reasonable prices
The only drawback was poor wifi in the apartment. We used the WiFi in the restaurant downstairs
Mi è piaciuta la posizione dato che era direttamente sulla spiaggia ed in un posto relativamente isolato (esattamente ciò che cercavo). Avevo un tetto sopra la testa e quando erano chiusi gli altri locali sono comunque riuscita a mangiare nel loro bar. Bellissimi i gattini, bella la location seppur poco curata, mi sono piaciute le energie di questo posto.
Igiene della camera a dir poco discutibile, si vedeva sporcizia ad occhio nudo sia suoi vetri dell’entrata sia su quello per accedere al bagno. Ragnatele ovunque e talvolta ragni. Nel bagno ci sono 4 fori lineari da cui può entrare qualsiasi tipo di insetto, infatti continuavano ad entrare ragni, quando entravano i gechi mi sentivo protetta dagli insetti. L’acqua calda è uscita i primi due giorni, dopodiché non funzionava più il dispositivo per scaldarla (nei seguenti 6 giorni). Colazione inclusa ma alla carta e non a buffet, poca scelta e porzioni scarse, era incluso solo un piatto perciò 🤷🏻♀️ Il “ristorante” della struttura era sempre sporco (non ho mai visto pulire un tavolo), si ordinava una cosa e spesso non arrivava, buona parte dei piatti presenti nel menu erano sempre sold out (per 8 giorni di soggiorno); spesso i ristoranti vicini erano chiusi perciò gli orari del “ristorante” interno erano piuttosto vincolanti: per la colazione niente da dire dato che era fino alle 11.00, ma il pranzo era da fare entro le 13.30 dopodiché non si poteva più mangiare niente fino alle 18.30, ma anche lì dovevi per forza mangiare entro le 21.00.
Nice style, clean and comfitable rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. We needed medical assistence during our stay, the staff organized the transport to the Health clinic in Tekek and didn‘t even want money for their help! Thanks a lot again!
everything was great
La ubicacion frente a la playa, tener nevera propia en la habitacion, los amameceres desde la cama
Encontramos un par de cucarachas, normal en este tipo de sitios
Location
Older rooms need to be updated and safety checks/ fire hazards need to be checked. Staff need to be better trained on fire safety procedure.
I absolutely loved my time here. The location is just perfect. My room overlooked the sea and I could be in the water in 30 seconds. The aircon and the shower were good and this basic “shack” was fine for my needs. The little restaurant which is just steps away was sweet and has wi-fi. All the staff were lovely and the included breakfast was most welcome.
I read other reviews and came prepared for mosquitoes. I didn’t see or hear one, but I was bitten in bed all over each night. What bit me was in the bed.
best view
The rainy air carries a musty blend of rotting wood and cat waste
Amazing. Stunning views, beautiful beach, very comfortable room, very friendly staff. Wish we could have stayed longer!
The rooms were clean, the staff were nothing but AMAZING! They helped me with every single thing I wanted! This is a place worth staying.. Loved the experience, the rooms were beautiful with breathtaking views!
Le personnel était extrêmement gentil ! Pouvoir avoir le petit déjeuner c’est incroyable et la vue incroyable aussi!
Peut être le réveil matinal des chats ou des coqs…
The view was worth everything. Right on the beach.
Die Lage am Strand und Bucht war schön. Personal sehr freundlich, doch sehr wenig Englischkenntnisse. Taxitransport hat gut geklappt.
Frühstück wenig und sehr einfach, generell einfache Küche mit wenig Auswahl, keine tropischen Früchte. Eingangsbereich mit Rezeption war ein Schock. Zimmer einfach, kein Klopapier, auf dem Nachttisch steht der laute, ratternde Kühlschrank, laute Klimaanlage, keine Liegen am Strand, Müll wurde 2x in 5 Tagen im Garten verbrannt mit schwarzer Giftwolke, Anfang Juni keine Essmöglickeit im fußläufigen Umkreis. Wir sind nicht anspruchsvoll, keine Ahnung wie die Wertung von 8,2 entsteht
员工态度很好!
网线有点不理想
Прекрасное расположение для пеших прогулок, мало людей. Номер очень приятный, всë, что нужно есть. Вид на море волшебный, вышел и уже можно плавать. Персонал доброжелательный, вокруг много кошек и красиво украшено
Wi-Fi ловил только на ресепшене, да и местная симка в номере особенно плохо работала. В номере было душновато, даже несмотря на кондиционер. Двери очень красивые и удобные, но звук сильно пропускают. Шум моря и петухи слышны прилично)
The location was excellent, offering beautiful sea views, a peaceful atmosphere and easy access to the beach. The chalet was clean and comfortable, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The breakfast can be improve and perhaps providing wi-fi to each units.
Personel najlepszy na świecie, lokalizacja również Czysto
Nie było takiej rzeczy
Super Lage

Gutes Hotel direkt am Strand mit einem guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Das Frühstück ist ziemlich dürftig. Man darf nicht zu viel erwarten. Leider sind am Strand Sandfliegen. Ohne Schutz kann man am gesamten Strand leider nicht liegen. Ein paar Liegen seitens des Hotels wären gut.
Widok z balkonu
Śniadanie serwowane z karty
The view...lurve the viewwww🍉💞
Food...alot of cat shit...chicken shit..and the price bit expensive
Lage - Lage - Lage
Das im Preis enthaltene Frühstück war nicht der Rede wert. Laum Auswahl, zT waren Zutaten wie Bananen gar nicht vorhanden, kleine Portionen, schlechter Kaffee. Aber das Personal war nett und man konnte auf's Meer schauen. Für uns war's ok.
Location at the beach was superb! There were minimarket closeby and the shack had a restaurant. It was awesome to sit on our own terrace and watch the storm during the night! The village were small and the shack is almost at the middle so good distance to walk everywhere. Bed was comfortable and clean. Also, own tap for clean you feet after the beach outside of your frontsteps were perfect. The staff were friendly and communication with them were easy. They also arrange transportation from and to the ferry (for a fee). All in all the vibe of this place were perfect for island holiday.
Cleaning was little bit so-so, little bit dust here and there but nothing major. Showerhead and -pipe wasn't properly on the wall when we came but staff came to fix it when asked. Also my spouse cleaned the filter of the AC, it was all blocked. Not too much space to store your luggages.
Cudo. Miejsce, w którym można naprawdę wypocząć. Uwielbiam wracać wspomnieniami to tego miejsca. Bardzo miły personel, mnóstwo kotów dookoła ❤️ natura i cisza. Żałuję, że nie zostałam tam dłużej.
Śniadania ok, ale mogłyby byś troszkę większe ;D
La vue de la chambre 🤩, la photo est identique à la réalité On a eu le sentiment d’être au bout du monde La dame de l’accueil est très serviable et réactive !
Le petit déjeuner est minimaliste en qualité ou quantité. Le responsable du restaurant ne dit même pas bonjour
Bed was clean and bathroom was mordern. Wake up right next to the beach
Lizards in bathroom due to the opening for vent
Der Ausblick von der Terrasse war genial! Tolles Meer zum schnorcheln, Tauchen und baden direkt vor der Nase. Wir hatten die obere Etage , es war himmlisch das Meeresrauschen zu hören ! Das Zimmer war sehr groß , sauber , das Bad war auch sehr gut! Es gab Nix zu bemängeln!! Leider kam niemand zum reinigen in den 5 Tagen wo wir da waren. Das Restaurant ist ganz nett , aber leider dauert alles lange wenn viele Tische belegt sind..es gibt aber in Laufweite sehr gute Alternativen! (Coconut Grove, Juara Village Restaurant) aber man konnte sein Wasser immer kostenfrei auffüllen:) Die Bilder be Booking sind authentisch ,
Kein Handtuch Wechsel , es gab kein Kaffee im Zimmer. Also selbst mitbringen. WLAN funktioniert überhaupt nicht im Zimmer.
Quite. Friendly staff ! Relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful location. Simpme but comfortable room.
Proximité de la mer. Le calme et la beauté du paysage. Chambre nickel.
Rien
Es war alles perfekt, das zimmer die Lage, das Essen und auch das Personal, nur die Betten sind etwas unbequem
Nice location just right in front beach
Aircon can’t working well during afternoon , adding ceiling fan could be a good idea
Das Zimmer war groß und sauber mit AC. Das Bad war ebenfalls in Ordnung genauso wie das Bett. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am sehr schönen Strand.
Einen Zimmerservice gab es nicht. Die verantwortliche Person an der Reception war wenig hilfsbereit und unfreundlich. Das1.Mal, dass ich so etwas in Malaysia erleben musste. Essen gab es, möglicherweise wegen dem Fastenmonat Ramadan, im dazugehörigen (?) Restaurant nur Abends zwischen 18:30 und 19:45.
Die Zimmer sind geräumig und gut ausgestattet, das Bad ist groß mit abgetrennter Dusche. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist schön. Restaurants wegen Ramadan sehr eingeschränkt nutzbar. Minimarkt mit kleinem Angebot um die Ecke.
Das Personal, ausgenommen die Bedienungen, war sehr unfreundlich
I had a remarkable stay at Pondok. The place was clean, modern and spacious. The staff is really friendly and smiley. Not even 10m away from the beach what else to ask !
Nothing. Breakfast was really good. + vegetarian options
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage direkt am Meer war traumhaft. Da Nebensaison herrschte, war es sehr ruhig in Juara und auf der ganzen Insel. Das haben wir sehr genossen. Mit dem Taxi ist man in ca. 20 min in Tekek auf der anderen Seite der Insel. Klappt alles wunderbar.
Posizione , bella spiaggia .
Nel nostro bagno mancava l’acqua calda Colazione un po’ scarsa ma comunque passabile , quello che c’era era buono .
附近没有小商店,有配套小超市就更好了
Onze kamer lag aan het strand, met een prachtig uitzicht. Het restaurant is basic, maar alles smaakte prima. In de buurt zijn verschillende winkels en plekken om te eten. We hebben een mooie boottocht gemaakt met vier stops om te snorkelen.
Er waren maar een paar strandstoelen en geen parasols.
Otele gitmek için 2 saatlik feribot yolculuğu yapmak gerekiyor. Adaya gidince de pikap ile adanın diger tarafına geçmek gerekiyor, extra para ödemek gerekiyor. Otele gittiğimde kapalıydı. Etrafta kimse yoktu. Bir odası hariç diğerleri tadilattaydi. Yağmur sezonu olduğundan her yer kapalıydı, yemek yemeye yer yok. İki tane küçük mahalle bakkalı var. Hiç turist yoktu. Yağmur sezonda gitmeyin. Normal sezonda güzel olur. Ada çok güzel. 3 gece rezervasyon yapmıştım, bir gece kalıp geri döndüm
Super séjour, super emplacement!
Ofc the beach out front from the property
Lack of food during monsoon season
nice , quiet, clean. Food was good. Service was good.
Too many ants, could not keep foods in rooms. The jugs not clean.
The beach and location was very nuce. Bathrooms were also decent.
The bed had a bed bug infestation.
I genuinely liked how they treated us. Service was good.
Everything was overpriced.
Wir hatten einen blauen Bungalow mit herrlichem Meerblick. Das Restaurant war entspannt mit gutem Essen und interessanten Interieur.
The placr was absolutely stunning! I like the blue turquoise features Nd the room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Looks really clean. I really enjoyed my stay there. Truly relaxing! The environment surrounding also very beautiful. Perfect to take pictures!
I got bed bug bites! It wasnt many but.. Yeah. Also maybe lil toiletries like toothbrush or tiny toothpaste will be good since theres like 2 mini market there n its hard to some stuff. But other that truly beautiful place
TODO. Ubicación inmejorable, primera línea de playa, unas vistas increíbles. Playa preciosa, muy solitaria. Restaurantes y supermercado cerca
El baño el último día olía un poco mal, el bajante.
Super emplacement face à la plage idyllique. C'est un coin de paradis,. Attention cependant les alentours ne sont pas nickels mais on est un peu au bout du monde. Ambiance cool. Le personnel est avenant et accueillant à 1 exception près.
Very quite place, few steps to beach and very relax enjoy
Far from jetty tekek, need to pay taxi rm40/person/trip
Relaxed, amazing location and lovely people. Travelled Malaysia for a while and this was by far the best place we stayed, with our family of four. Amazing views and so peaceful, everyone was helpfull and friendly. Dont forget to ask for a BBQ night, the food was amazing. Thankyou I would love to return. Adam
