tanabendang banglos

Scenery, kampung vibes, birds, cats, comfy beds, beautiful.

We were quite nervous about the location as we didn't know what to expect of a village but it worked out well, the bungalows were traditional Malay style wooden construction but very clean and with all essential facilities. We had the shared pool to ourselves as we went in the quieter rainy season. As for the village, traditional Malay and Western style restaurants were within walking distance and English is widely spoken so nothing to fear.

WIFI was flaky but the side effect was much needed electronic detox. d

rumah yg klasik. tenang dengan suasana kampung. ada banyak kucing2 comel teman.

ada sawang2 sikit

A tranquil and more authentic local style accommodation, with a lovely host and a lovely collection of feline friends to keep you entertained as well. Good facilities, with access to a fully equipped kitchen, and a pool. With a car, most places on the island are very accessible and you are only minutes from the airport and pentai cenang.

It's good to be aware that this is a rustic style accommodation. The room may feel very hot when you check in, but the AC will cool it down pretty quickly or you can leave the windows open during the day to air things out. It is best to have your own transportation as you are not on a main road, though you could probably get a Grab easy enough, we found having a rental car made everything very easy.

The place itself is really nice and well maintained. It feels like you’re in the middle of nature. Hostess is very friendly.

The nearby mosque starts calling for morning prayer at about 5.40, no chance to not get woken up by this. Also the bathroom isn’t too comfortable, especially the shower isn’t since there’s barely any water pressure.

Lovely warm welcome and beautiful apartment.

To get the best from staying here, rent a car or motorbike.

Ontzettend mooi en authentiek

Het eerste gebed van de moskee gaat erg hard af door speakers om 5.45 sochtends.

We have bed bugs

Proximity to nature, authentic feel, lovely host

Will be noisy (beside mosque)

A tranquil and charming homestay. The owner Leena is really helpful and friendly. The pool is amazing. The location is great for exploring the island. The room is spacious, comfortable and clean. Great value for money and would highly recommend.

The owner and the accomodation were just amazing. We felt so comfortable and the house was designed in such a beautiful Malaysian style, we were completely in love with it. Everything was super clean and the owner was so friendly and welcoming. We also loved the cats on the properties. Right from our house we could observe the water buffalos and different kind of birds. It was an excellent area, quiet and serene (except the mosque in the morning starting the prayer around 5/6am, which can unfortunately not be overheard and we needed some time to adjust to it). Again, the houses and the property are designed in such a beautiful way, a visit is definitely worth it :)

Bengalos sympathique en pleine nature mais assez proche de pantai cenang, hôte très sympathique

I like the authentic design of Kampung house! It could be hot in the afternoon even though with air-cond on. The temperature will get colder after midnight. Spectacular view of paddy field scenery. At night I can hear night bird sound and cricket sound as lullaby. Small kitchen which we can cook own meal but there are restaurants nearby. We can get breakfast at 'smilling buffalo", dinner at "The Edge" or "Mimosa Cafe". Very friendly host! Clean swimming pool.

Mosquito... Morning call at 5.45am by nearby mosque

Rien

Super basen, wygodnie można dojechać Grabem wszędzie. Przemiły personel.

The owner is exceptionally friendly and responsible. The guesthouse is home to many adorable cats, and the prices are quite reasonable

we hadden met ons gezin twee huisjes, heerlijk verblijf gehad, mooi uitzicht, rustig; Tanabendang ligt centraal, net buiten de drukte, makkelijk bereikbaar, kleinschalig. Er is een keukentje en koelkast, je kunt zelf ontbijt meenemen. Gastvrouw is zeer aardig, maakt gezellig praatje en geeft goede tips. Zwembad is heerlijk om even af te koelen. Een aanrader voor wie Langkawi wil bezoeken.

Je hebt wel een auto nodig of je maakt gebruik van Grab om het eiland te bezoeken; hou daar rekening mee.

Really beautiful bungalows with a nice clean pool. The owner is very sweet and made our stay even better with her caring personality.

Ok

Ok

Owner was wonderful and extremely accommodating, and the cats there were so friendly, some would even come into our room for hours at a time and sit on our laps! Definitely would stay here again :)

The owner! She helped with mosquito repellent free of charge Very charming cabins, with wonderful verandas. The cutest domestic cats.

A bit far from the beach, but we like to walk ( 15-20 minutes ) But just take af Grap (taxi) so easy and cheap 6-7 RM A but disapointing that the mosquito net didnt cover the bed totally, but with help from som clothing clamps and extra mosquito repellent from the owner it worked out fine. Overall absolutely satisfied with hour stay.

The poster bed and pillows were so comfortable. Quiet and serene Close to pantai cenang about 20 min on foot Close to food eateries Nice and friendly cats Beautiful view and landscape. Good water pressure Nicely decorated There is a clean common kitchen near the pool area if you want to cook

Mosquitoes

Tanabendang is an oasis with with characteristic houses surrounded with luster vegetation. We enjoyed the swimming pool. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

The beauty of the place and the team, themselves. Nothing was too much and such lovely people. The views are incredible and the pool was great.

Little bit out the way so getting around took more effort. Still, you wouldn't have had the same peace and quiet nearer the action so it is personal preference!

The host is lovely and really attentive. The bungalows have a nice little veranda to sit and enjoy. It’s close to Cenang beach. It’s extremely quiet.

The property is a bit tired and has loads of mosquitoes(proximity to the paddy fields). The bungalows have spaces between panels so there is no way to prevent the mosquitoes from entering which meant that no matter how much we used the machine or spray, it didn’t help. Eventually I had to spray myself even in the face to get atleast a couple of hours at a stretch. The property is close to a mosque which means the prayer call will wake you up at 5:30 am and then again many times in the day. If you like to sleep in, it’s important to know this. The property has no sound proofing at all so even if someone walks by, you can hear it clearly. Again, this might not bother many people but if you’re a light sleeper like me, it is good to know.

Privacy, peaceful, nice pool, loved the friendly cats. Nice and kind owner. Nice view. 30 mins walk to Pantai Cenang.

All good 👍🏻

The location. The owner Azlina was a wonderful host.

Nothing, it was great.

We had a fantastic two-night stay at Tanabendang Banglos with our family. The traditional architecture and peaceful surroundings made for a perfect retreat. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. A special mention goes to the adorable cats on the property—they were a delightful surprise and added so much charm to our stay. Our kids loved them! One suggestion: it would be helpful if the location were added to Google Maps and Waze for easier navigation. It would make finding this hidden gem even more convenient for future guests. Overall, Tanabendang Banglos is a gem in Langkawi, perfect for families seeking a cozy, relaxing getaway. We can’t wait to return!

this is the most horrible hotel I HAD ever lived!

Too noisy and too far away from sea

It is so calming beautiful bungalows near to town but also enough distance away for the peace. The host is amazing, nothing is too much trouble, her personality reflects the property calm and peaceful

Nothing

We loved the little secluded huts and the field with cows that would come overnight and leave in the day. It was nice and calm, which was a good break from the tourist packed beaches and perfect for a nice swim in the pool after a long day. The owner was the nicest woman and had the cutest cats. She was always ready to help us. She had excellent recommendations and told us stories about Langkawi’s history and legends, which only added to the magical feeling of this oasis. A lovely stay that made this trip so memorable!

The host was lovely and incredibly helpful. The accommodation is unique and quirky which we loved and the swimming pool warm and welcoming. The setting was on the edge of a paddy field and had lovely sunset but my favourite part was the cats around the accommodation

the ambiance

no tv in our room😊

Nice and quiet rural location. Pool is good. Staff very helpful.

Lighting in rooms a bit dim.

The banglos are beautiful and the host was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Felt like part of the family.

Nil

Scenery, banglo was amazing

We stayed during weekdays, so most of the banglos were unoccupied. So it was very quiet and quite scary especially during midnight 😅

Azlina treats you as family, so warm, welcoming, and the cats are the best! The location is quiet, peaceful, and calming. Will definitely be back.

The bungalow was very comfortable and lovely... great view into the garden where many buffalos were grazing. Azlina is a very lovely and helpful host who does her best to make us feel very comfortable during our stay. I highly recommend this homestay!

Nothing

good breakfast, clean room with ac and fan, nice area, staff

Good location away from main beach area, but walkable. Rural outlook. Nice friendly and helpful owner. Good communication

Some midges, not a big deal. Just take your insect repellent.

I love everything about my stay here. I went here for LIMA for work and me and my friend decided not to stay in a typical hotel and resorted for this place instead. We wished we stayed longer! The location is superb as out work was mainly around MIEC and the airport. I'd like to describe this as a hidden haven. The place is very proper and well maintained. I love everything about the room/chalet that we stayed. Even though it's a rumah kampung, but it's giving the bali-vibe. The toilet and bathtub is amazing, and hot water is available. The room is air conditioned but you can always open the window to see the amazing view of the bendang and kerbau. It's a typical kampung feeling with an elevated service. Since it's kampung built, expect mosquitoes but they provide you with equipments to prepare yourself - mosquitoes spray etc. they provided fridge, basic toiletries and iron. There's also a TV. By the way, the host is a very friendly nice lady. She'll contact you in advance about your arrival information and basically very hospitable.

Maybe could add bottled water or bigger size one in the fridge for everyday consumption.

Incredible location among fields and nature and a beautiful property. A completely unique experience in Langkawi. The rooms were clean. Pool was lovely too.

The bed was a little hard.

Love going to bed with the crickety yet serene kampung vibe and waking up to it (rooster and chirping birds, sun rises, the sawah padi ) ahhhhh lovely....Tenangg...go experience it yourself

Wish the lights are slightly brighter ..a bit to dimmy...but the rest are just superb

Love the banglo itself. Plus the kampung view. So peaceful. And the owner is nice too.

Only the mosquitoes.

Its a calming environment. The staff was quite welcoming and it feels homey to me. Not that far from the airport and the beach. Overall I loved it

My mom said that theres noises everywhere and its hot but that is to be expected since the house is made out of wood. The noises came from crickets, animals and etc. And at night it was not as hot as we thought it would be. Aircon made the heat bareable

I loved the location. so close to Cenang yet far away among old Padi fields, the isolation. Loved the design of the chalets using old material and modernizing them as well. Loved the fact there were so many plug points and trust me they were needed. Good and adequate shower facilities. Lots of thought went into the design. I loved the friendly cats that roam the property. The sounds when it rained one night were heavenly.

The air con was either underpowered or unmaintained OR it was just overwhelmed by the fact that it's a wooden hut with lots of holes. It was impossible to nap in the afternoon when it was hot. Thankfully after 2 days the weather changed and got cooler. Yes, the mosquitoes had a field day with me.

Nice setting n prompt response from owner

Bathroom, toilet n washbasin not up to standard.Cat poo in the corridor outside the room

super friendly host. It felt like ‚home‘ from the minute I walked in.

Kampung feel back to nature with a great pool and pool terrace to have our own grab sent meals.

Less green in the paddy field.

Just outside of town. walkable, I had a scooter. The cottages are stunning, the balcony a great place to spend the hottest part of the day, or evening. A kitchen if you want. The call to prayer, I really liked from the nearby Mosque. Aslena the owner/manager was great, engaging but no over bearingly so.

Wonderful authentic bungalows set in a rural location, for those who enjoy peace and tranquility. The swimming pool is an added bonus. Azlina and her cats are charming hosts.

We loved everything about our stay here. The bedrooms were super clean and spacious. The host was sooo lovely and welcoming and gave great restaurant reccommendations. Location is close enough to walk to the beach and restaurants or a very quick scooter ride. Highly recommend!

Nothing!!

The hostess is very kind. Easy to talk to and always happy to help.

The mosquitoes and spider webs. Even with a mosquito net and spray, we got a lot of bites. Need to clean the spider webs and the top of the bed net.

The Malay kampung house villa is nicely touch with antique deco!!! Is a very unique experience stay there ❣️ coz the villa is surrounded by padi field!!! The owner of this villa is very friendly and helpful. She texted me a day before my arrival just to confirm my arrival time 😊 also she shares with us the story of her villa ... It's lovely to meet and know her during our stay...

At night , there are tons of mosquitoes 🦟

the owner was very helpful with pick up from airport chrged 15 MRG in compare of Grab 9 MRG but worked perfect, thank you

the room is enclosed with shutters, so you stay in a dark room, there are no closed windows only the shutters what makes the AC not working. except the noise from airport activities you are also entertained with noise from very close moscue. in my opinion room with outdated furniture and a run out place is not worth the price what is aked for.

The owner is a very lovely lady. She took 9 years to built this place what it looks like today. I enjoyed my stays here with traditional banglo and decoration inside.

Location, pool,, garden, comfy beds, very friendly and well-cared-for cats, and Azlina who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. A truly wonderful host

Nothing

fabulous rural Malaysian location with buffaloes and egrets all over the old paddy fields. fantastically helpful owner.

no restaurant and very basic cooking facilities. significant walk to beach but good taxis everywhere

loved the experience! bungalows were unique felt so relaxed. Pool bonus for cooling down. We really like location far enough to be peaceful with comfortable walk to beach and busier centre.

Nothing perfect!

The staff is very helpful. The hotel itself has a really relaxing vibe. Highly recommend!

Hot shower was unavailable.

The stay at Tanabendang Bangalows was amazing! If you are looking for a nature getaway the location is perfect. Nice options for breakfast/lunch only a walking distance from the Bungalow. Azlina, the host was exceptional <3 she is an amazing lady, super friendly and helpful, she even ordered an amazing masseuse to give me a massage at the bungalow :) really appreciate all the help and advice she gave for an amazing stay! Would definitely recommend to my friends and hopefully come back :)

Remember to take with you mosquito repellant cz it is next to the rice field

Such helpful staff. Shariffah messaged me prior to know when arrival would be. She also let me check out later for a very small fee (very helpful with a night time flight). Very kind lady!

Thank you kak azlina for having us. Great place to spend your holiday. Traditional concept architecture and interior. A lot of classic material and design.

maybe mosquito cause nearby paddy field, but still can manage if got ridsect

Everything. Place clean and beautiful. All was peacefully. In the room is a hair dryer that we didn't expect. Before arriving, we were reading bad comments about no breakfast but you can buy food for breakfast and keep it in the kitchen, that is for share. Also, there close is "smiling bufalo" and the breakfast there are super good.

If you haven't a deeply sleep is better bring something for the noise. The place is near the mosque and, for us it was ok, but remember the prayers start really early in the morning.

classic malay kampung house, surrounded by paddy fields

none

Nice place to be. A little bit offside the tourist area but with grab app all distances are no problem. The owner Azlina is always very helpfull (beaches, breakfast location, car rental). The beautyfull landscape around the place can't be desribed... you have to experience it.

Room service can be improved e.g. emptying the wastebaskets. Mosque nearby is bit loud during prayer but part of the culture.

Great place and a nice cooling pool.

I havent been or heard about this place before. Was first stumbled upon this place on Booking.Com website.. with good review.. so I thought I just wanna check it out. True enough! It was fantastic for me... from the pracious host, Azlina .. to the lil malay house , the serene paddy field and also the friendly cats!! The house was very well maintained, despite it being old wooden house. Spotless clean. and no mosquitoes at all even if it is surrounded by paddy field. amazing! Highly recommended!! Thanks Azlina for the wonderful time... I will be back!

None!
