So near to Jonker Walk
Small road leading to hotel
第二次入住 干净 位置方便, 可步行去鸡场街 员工热心帮忙 还会再来
地点好,去鸡场公街夜市也很方便。
水压低,隔音差,让我失眠了。
Nearby attractions like jonker walk and a famosa but have quiet environment during the night. Away from the noise
Nothing. Everything smooth and perfect
Only one pair of keys shared among 5 residents. This is a hassle.
Very strategic location. Close to almost everything you would like to see in Malacca. The host is very helpful and nice. They have ample parking.
Mosquitoes, but host provided repellant.
The carpark and the space Its clean and well ventilated
No ensuite bathroom No airon at the common areas like living room, dining room Though have carpark but its not sheltered. Can get very hot in the day
Spaciousness and within walking distance to various attractions.
None.
The location is excellent. Just 5-10mins walk to most attractions in town (ie Jonker street). It’s a nice and private traditional house, with basic but sufficient amenities. Some comments mentioned that the staircase is too narrow but my elderly parents found it manageable.
The dining table is insufficient for large group. It only seats 4 pax. There is only one remote key to open the gate to exit the premises.
Location was excellent! Few minutes walk to Jonker Street and the Malacca River Walk. We had a great time at the homestay which beautiful, spacious and airy. Ample parking. The host was very nice and friendly. Plan to come back for a future stay! Highly recommended.
Cleanliness,..comfy...very kind owner.. recommended 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
good location, walking distance to the attractions
Not very convenient process to check in and checkout, hard to reach the help desk.
干净 地点方便 附近有很多美食 员工热情
Near to jonker street…. Comfortable , got parking
No hair dryer
Walking distance to attractive foods & great places. Very spacious room, toilet, kitchen, very clean and good parking. Friendly & efficent PIC. Very good place to stay with big family.
(Lot 1 & 2) Living hall should be at kitchen area & kitchen should hv air cond. Not convenience living hall, no aircond & is at end of the building. Should upgrade the kitchen area wt sofa, aircond & etc. We got minor problem with the access card to Lot 1, TV Box/TV, aircond & shower heater.
I think the space and parking facilities. And the host were really accommodating as and when required. It was also walking distance to Jonker walk . We loved the place.
I think if there were cooking facilities i.e. wok, etc would have been nicer. Also if complimentary tea and coffee would have been great.
I like the location, walking distance to Jonker Street. It is quiet place though. Because not much vehicles passing by.
The bathroom at 1st floor : After taking a shower, the bathroom feels hot and stuffy because it’s not ventilated. The Kitchen side very hot when it is morning and afternoon, because not ventilated as well.
Clean. Great location. Loads of space
Nothing.
This overrated and expensive homestay was a disaster. Mainly because the crazy steep staircase heading for the rooms upstairs... is not suitable for elderly people and very young kids. I even mentioned to the owner that I was bringing an elderly father and he didn't bother to inform me that the staircase might be a problem while going upstairs to the room !
Superb location, walking distance to jonker street and very near to all the makan places, very clean.
Nothing to complain, only when we arrived the premises there was nobody in and called the host few times, he only pick up the phone, if the check in time written there 14:00 to 17:00, then the host should be standby anytime from 14:00. Anyway, friendly host.
Very spacious for family gatherings and value for money. Walking distance to a lot of attractions and restaurants.
Living and dining room no air conditioning.
Have 3 toilets. 1 complete toilet at 2nd floor & 1 toilet and 1 bathroom at ground floor. 3 room with airconds each. Kitchen at ground floor and have stove but can't find pans anywhere. Can't sure whether can cook or not so have to ref owner. Distance walk to all locations and homestay have own parking compound which makes it much² convenience. Deff in repeat list next time we're in Malacca
Steep steps to 2nd floor 😅
Good location and near to jonker street but quiet surrounding of the stay. Private parking no worried.
Everything was good but no pot to cook and no knife to cut things. The sound insulation is not good, and you can clearly hear the footsteps from upstairs. Very convenient location, near to jonker street, only need walk 5-7 mins. Owner is very friendly and nice, and reasonable accommodation prices. Large accommodation space, suitable for large families.
Location
Rooms detail incorrect 2 nos of twin room stated but actually only 1 nos of twin room
Location is good. House is clean & friendly staff.
Car park is big but entrance is inconvenient.
Location is very near to old town but away from the noise. And also plenty of parking spaces. Clean and roomy as well.
Check in timing was very restrictive. And staff advised us to text the manager for wifi password, and we never gotten a reply. Lucky for a night stay we didn't need the wifi so much..
Location is walkable to Jonker but not too near the busy areas so it won't be noisy. The rooms and toilets are clean. Nothing too fancy but you get really good value for the location and parking facilities within the compound. We only got 1 key for our unit so we have to always go out together. Other than that, there isn't much to complain about.
The road leading to the property is narrow so if you are driving a bigger car, it might be a hard to navigate but it is a prime location in Melaka. It's a small trade-off.
The place was very clean and the rooms were comfortable. My family really enjoyed it. I would recommend big groups of people to stay here instead of a hotel.
Located about 100m from Melaka River and the Stadthuys is the closest attraction that's about 8min away by foot. You don't need to drive if you're staying here. The check in process was smooth and the property was spacious. The house had an old-school peranakan feel that harks back to the 1950s. I enjoyed the stay!
There were 2 toilets/bathrooms for 10 pax. An extra bathroom is welcome during "peak period".
The location.Is good. With private carpark yets is near to all restaurants and walking distance to Jonker street. Place is safe and clean.They also have filter for water. Recommend

Location was good.. too bad was s raining day ..

I do not like your booking app. It is difficult to get any responses, and not easy to navigate to when changes are needed. Your app refer us to the property is at not responsive at first. But your Booking.com app should me it easy to ask for queries. I am not satisfied with this booking app. it was my first time using this app and I probably will not use this app again.
It was a wonderful place to stay
None
The property is huge, clean and I'm happy to have all my friends in one house. We spent time and chill out together. Walking distance to find places to eat and 'lepak2'. The most important thing is that you can park your car inside the compound safely 😊.
We need to call the owner to get the iron and hair dryer. Probably in the future, the owner can just leave the iron in the property 😉.
Location is good, mins walk to pubs and restaurants along the river and jonker street . Rooms are air conditioned. Free parking.
Host did not respond to emails, messages or phonecalls so I had to go through booking.com customer service to get an acknowledgement from the host that he is aware of our check in time. My questions on check in process and carpark access were not answered. We only knew when we got to the property. The host was there to check us in. The house is old and sparcely furnished. Floor was not very clean so bring your inhouse slippers. Stated 4 bathrooms on booking.com when there are actually 2 showers 2 toilets. The water pressure for the showers was too weak to get a good shower.. Better off using the water bucket and ladle provided. Other than the bedrooms other areas are not air conditioned. It was warm and stuffy to hang out at the living room and tv area for 8 of us.
The location is excellent. It's just by the Melaka river and it was pleasant to take walks there in the mornings and evenings. Parking is very convenient and the house was very clean. Essential appliances like fridge, washing machine, oven, kettle were provided and working well.
The upstairs bathroom pipes were vibrating every time we flushed the toilet. The keycard lock at the entrance is a bit finicky, occasionally we had to try a few times to gain entry.
This location does not provide breakfast. There are stalls You can buy from. You can prepare breakfast as there are utensils, microwave, kettle provided.
No cooking utensils to cook as there is gas cooker. No knives to cut fruits. Two sets of remote and room keys will be better especially for big group.
Location is quite good. Ample parking is the star point of this place
Owner doesn't use WhatsApp can you believe it???? Contacted him multiple times that I changed check in time but could not get hold of him. He is completely missing from the property. He seems to juggle multiple business. Oh and the electric box trips regularly
Location is great - walking distance to everything. Host is friendly. The units catered to all our basic needs, are spacious and clean. Most importantly there is parking space for us - though you will need a bit of careful manouvering through a short (luckily) stretch of narrow lane if you drive a MPV - other than that all was good.
NIL
Good parking space for cars and had many rooms (5) and toilets (3) and showers (3)
Kitchen and living room and upstairs hall doesn’t have AC.
No breakfast provided because this is a homestay although is in the town. The place is super clean and quiet.
Spacious parking
If extra beds provided with charges will be preferable
- free gated parking - spacious home with lots of amenities like washing machine, microwave etc - location: walking distance to jonker area - air cond is really strong
- soundproofing: you can hear footsteps from the second floor from ground floor, and conversations next door
This is an exceptional place to spend the night in town. The hosts were friendly and helpful during check-in. You could tell that they take pride in managing the place. And that translates to the clean and safe environment to stay in. The facilities were well kept, tidy and inviting to use. Location is within walking distance to Jonker street, and the walk there allows one to explore the river and other interesting shops and establishments that are outside the main Jonker Street. Parking is available but the street leading to it can be narrow. We had a comfortable night and wished we stayed one more night.
Jonker street within walking distance surroundings quiet. Rooms are clean
The location was fantastic. Food & night life was just a short walk away. The place was clean.
Host called to inform that he would be available until 5pm for check-in. After which, we could only check in after 8pm. However, host was not in the office when we arrived around 4.45pm. Luckily, the weather was good. We had to wait for about 10 mins for him to turn up.
Located right in the heart of Malacca, this is a huge shophouse perfect for big groups and families. Then property is very private and gated, is quiet even though it's very central and is also within walking distance from so many amazing businesses. Would book it again if I return to Malacca!
The location of the property is close to the town centre, only few mins walking distance. The property also has very big car parking space. If you drive car to Melaka you don’t need to worry about finding car spot in the city centre. I just park the car there, and then walk to the centre . The property is very spacious and could be great if you have a big family .The staff is very friendly and approachable. I have troubles to call the car rental company. The staff helped me to call the rental company and explain to me how to find the car return location in the airport. He can also speak English and Chinese ( including multiple different dialects)which is easy to communicate if you need any help.
loacation is very nice and near the river. rooms are quite large.
facilities are just basic, but ok for a homestay hotel.
The journey to Melaka and to homestay Jawa was pleasant and wonderful. Managed met the owner in person, whom hand over the key and bring us to the hse and explain the hse. The owner young Chinese men friendly and good looking. with good english :). he helped whenever there is request (i whatsapps him). the hse condition clean/neat. well maintain. is a big hse and huge. we had all we needed as requested. The parking easy and safe. Also managed to talked/chit chat with neighbors next door, The Hse so nearby with Melaka Little India/River/Jonker Street/Menara taming sari/A famosa/etc. Thus easy to drive/walk. And also easy to find shop to buy grocery/food/etc. Is a amazing trip and stay. Thanks to the JAWA HOmestay owners/team. Will go again:)
Nothing to say/complaint. But good to have aircon at Hall (is recommendation).
Location walking distance to main tourist street.
Noisy at night. Was there on Christmas day and sounded like a rave party in building nearby. Cable TV didn't work
The room and place are clean. Availability of private/premise parking. Easy to go to place of attraction and near to Jonker walk
Road leading to premise is bit traffic heavy . Small road in between buildings
Seriously I love the stay very much. Very near to jonker and they even had private parking. So we only took our car when we check out because all the places are basically walking distance only. Huge house and very clean too.
Nothing
House is spacious. Car park is good. Location is perfect. The staff is friendly & helpful.
The road before the gate is too narrow.
Very close to the centrum, the owner is very friendly, I got some great advices, he helped me to arrange next trip in Malaysia.
The rooms where we slept, do not have a windows but for me it is not problem
clean, very near Jonker street
The house is spacious and comfortable
The water pressure at upstair bathroom is low
The location is very near to Jonker Street. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Also very responsive. As the houses were next to one another, we have to be a little more mindful about the noise level. It was thoughtful of the staff to provide us the mosquito repellent incense and that really helped a lot especially when we were on the ground floor. We loved the shophouse concept and will consider coming back here again in the future. There are many good food nearby and we had no worries about the lack of food.
The traffic around the area can be quite congested so it is good to walk around. Don't drive around the area if possible.
It looks far on the MAP but in less than 10 min - there I was - JONKER WALK. Ample Parking SPACES. Lovely big houses - the 5-BED was FANTASTIC, loads of private spaces with comfortable sofas, even for a group of 10. With 4 BATHROOMs and TOILETs - take your time - no one's knocking ! & you know you'll regret, if you don't stick with 1 of those must-eat highly_recommended list(s); ample toilets are ... quiet ... good beds, with fresh clean linens, sheets, ... You'll get a good night's rest ... Great HOSTs/Staff, the neighbours are warm & friendly, even better !!
Its in a nice location, central to all tourist attractions, big house for a family trip!
Daily cleaning/garbage collection from the kitchen would be better.
Location and old charm
Provide more bins especially in the bathroom
The location is fantastic. It's very close to the river, but not so close that you get the noise. It was very quiet, well furnished, well set out and decorated. Beds are comfy and there are air cons in each bedroom. Staff were friendly and accommodating. On site parking was a real benefit.
The place had multiple living areas which were great places to sit in a group, but as they weren't air conditioned, they were too hot to use. There is a 2 burner gas stove in the kitchen, but no pots, pans or cooking utensils. There are doors which join to neighbouring units which have large gaps under the doors, so noise from other units can come in. Having said all this, it was still a great place to stay.
great location, large home, gathering space with adjoining rooms
slightly better amenties like extra toilet paper, hair dryer would be helpful .
Location & space
Toilet and shower are shared and not attached to rooms. No aircond downstairs.
The place was clean and basic but the location was very good. Walking distance to Jonker street and most places that we wanted to go to. The owner was very friendly. Plenty of parking spaces too which was good.
The people who booked the unit next to ours was very noisy. The sound proofing in the place is not good. They should have a cut off time for noise. They brought their own karaoke set and so the noise was horrible.
Peaceful and quiet environment
None
Spacious, clean, decent price and good location. Free parking as well. Road in is a bit narrow but we had no issues driving an Alza in. The donut shop near the vehicle entrance was pretty nice.
Walls are not soundproof but thats expected of a shophouse kind of housing. The hall, toilets and dining area were not fully enclosed, probably for ventilation as no aircons there, so mosquitoes could come in.
