Relaxing
I want to talk about the good and the bad qualities of this resort so that they can improve better and have some encouragement too. First I want to compliment the atmosphere of the surrounding resort area. I really love the unique designs of each and every single house available there but still retain the rural village concept. The environment is so peaceful and calming. I really don't mind not having much company from nearby neighbors. I've swam at the swimming pool and I love it. Good thing there weren't many people swimming at the pool but the pool is big enough for us.The design of the swimming pool is also beautiful. I didn't realize there is a gym close to the swimming pool though. Unfortunately, the toilet flusher tank in our room aren't working properly as I need to manually make sure the hole is covered so the water can be refilled once we flush the toilet. Then there are some leakings here and there, broken tiles and rotten wooden structures in the bathroom. Did I mention some of the switches are also not working? All in all, I'm assuming they don't have the budget to do the occasional maintenance for that place. Nevertheless, I love it that they provided us with television with adequate channels, refrigerator and also iron. Lucky for us, we got ourselves a room with front balcony to enjoy the fresh morning air.

Love the traditional in the jungle setting
I had a good time.Reception staff was friendly.Room spacious and for the price I paid I was impressed with the space allocation.Just if you have neighbours next door you can hear them or worst smell if they would smoke cigarettes as the design of the rooms are made with wood and not sound proof.The whole resort will be dark after 12 am so that is eerie and so be careful when you are driving in the dark as the roads could have sharp turns and steep descends.However I came for the quietness and slept well and woke up without any headache or care in the world as fresh air is guaranteed!I would come back again as I have found a little sanctuary

Excellent location
Housekeeping was terrible... very dusty and dirty...bathroom sink and toilet were never cleaned properly. Floor was never mopped. The room phone never worked. We called from my friends room to sort out batteries for tv remote control. My beach towels disappeared from my room....I threaten to deduct from my bill and it showed up in reception 2 days later. The reception overcharge us for taxis until we found our own taxi. But the island is beautiful. We had great fun visiting the island.

Great place to experience "Kampung" life
Great place to stay in the natural surrounding and out of the city busy lifestyle. Feel like living in between the edge of jungle and paddy fields Have a great swimming pool that we really enjoyed in the morning. Buildings are older, the one that we stay in is still in good condition, but going around you might see some really run down ones. At night is really quiet until having a mysterious scary feel if alone. Overall a great stay and experience, way different from the normal ordinary hotel.

very Old and damaged room
The room is big but klunky. the furniture (like Sofa) look like being used for decade and moldy. not dare to sit on it. there is a wood floor with some big hole, lack of maintenance. The worse part is there is no sound proof at all, you can hear clearly neighbor talking, walking, TV sound etc.

very nice resort but it's quite eerie at night
It's a very comforting to stay at the resort. It's far from the crowd and the room is nice and cozy. However it's quite creepy at night as they don't provide enough street light. I would love to go again but I'm quite scared actually due to dark surrounding at night.

Dirty and in need of renovation
Although the staff were friendly here, the hotel rooms and linen were just not clean, and it took them a long time to solve the problem (bringing 'fresh' still dirty towels didn't help). Having splashed out more for a hotel for the Christmas period I was seriously disappointed as the cleanliness and service in a hostel would have been much better and a LOT cheaper. Although the location is beautiful the rooms are in dire need of renovation and i wouldn't recommend the place to anyone until that is done.

An anachronism in the jungle
Having traveled extensively throughout Asia, and having reviewed many resorts and motels, Kampung Tok Senic presented somewhat of a challenge. It is so good in so many ways, yet so ordinary in others. The whole resort appears as if stuck in a time warp. One can see it must have been absolutely magnificent in its day, but sadly those days are long gone. Buildings and fittings, eg. Furniture, bathrooms, electrics etc are still pretty much as they were when it was built, probably in the 70s. However, what you want to know is it value for money, overall I would say yes. The resort (and I use that term loosely) consists of a large number of separate timber rustic buildings in a park/jungle like setting. The rooms and amenities are basic but functional. If you are picky, or must have modern decor, go elsewhere. If you appreciate nature and a relatively peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle of the main areas you will love Tok Senic. The pool area is quite large, and although we didn't swim there it looked rather inviting, surrounds again could do with some TLC though. Included breakfast was quite good, mainly Malay, but lovely. Staff were always prompt and courteous. This resort covers a big area and is quite hilly in places, making for a challenging walk to breakfast or the lobby (which we enjoyed I might add). Nature abounds here, lots of monkeys, birds, and other animals can be seen regularly. Overall we enjoyed our seven nights there. Hire a car or bike!

Very peaceful stay far away from everything else
Kampung Tok Senik must have been a truly beautiful hotel in its heyday. Today, you can still see the beauty although, it's not very well maintained. It is an enormous property in the jungles of Langkawi and gives you a bit of a spooky feel. It is situated very far from the beach and all the other sightseeing places making it a bit inconvenient. The rooms are of the cottage type and are huge! They are well maintained with wooden flooring and lovely balconies, although lighting could be improved. I think it's a nice place to stay if you are not interested in sightseeing and just want to relax. I just wish they would put up more lights.

Privacy and an authentic traditional stay
The hotel compounds was great, surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery. It was a nice escape from the heat of Langkawi. Mornings were especially great looking out and only seeing green from every direction we looked. We really liked the traditional kampung feel of the hotel, although it seemed a little run down and poorly maintained. The bistro was never open in the afternoons, but the pool next to it had a good view and was hardly occupied and we liked the privacy. You need to have a car to stay at this hotel cos getting to your room from the hotel lobby is quite challenging especially at night. The hotel is severely under staffed, only one lady at the front desk but she was very pleasant and helped us out a great deal. The room conditions were ok, considering what we had paid. Large space with a seating area and balcony. The front desk lady hooked us up with a room that had a great view but wasnt too far off from the main lobby. She even gave us extra bedding free of charge cos we had friends over the first night we stayed. The toilets were in need of maintenance though, desperately. Generally, we loved the hotel and could tell that it was once in its hay days a wonderful place to stay. However mismanagement and a lack of an update has run the hotel down. I really hope something is done by the hotel management cos this place is really a gem and unlike any other hotel we have stayed at in langkawi.

Very old and rundown hotel.they should improve overall on bed linen, sanitation and everything else. Very thin walls you can hear the neighbours when they talk at normal volume. Perhaps the more expensive rooms are better but the cheaper one we had was pretty bad

Bad Service, Creepy Room
Seriously, if you desperate enough and there is no other choice unless you have to sleep at the airport arrival hall - and it's 3am, you might wanna consider after serious consideration. This place not suitable for vacation. Creepy environment. We were told at our room area side-by-side will be another guest, but obviously no! A liar receptionist can make your stay even worst when air conditioning doesn't work, water heater too! While a creepy sound in the middle of the night. Who else wanna go for running in the room next door when there is no guest? Pre-mix 3 in 1 coffee didn't get restock for next day our stay. WTH you only get to sachet for two days?

Very worth for money
I was impressed on the facilities and staffs hospitality which i can say very good. This resort will recall on your childhood memory on your grandma house surrounded by trees, paddy field and totally village scenery.In one house, there are 3 room interconnected to each other. My room (Rumah Harun) is very spacious and simply can accommodate up to 5 persons in a room. We were given breakfast voucher amounting RM40 for ala carte order. Drinks are free. Even our order exceed RM40, (to be specific RM44), the staffs did not charge us extra. I would definitely repeat again my stay in future. Thank you Tok Senik Resort staffs for making my stay a pleasant one.

Comfortable stay.
The resort is far away from the beaches especially the cenang beach. It is kind of in the middle of Langkawi so you have access to all parts of the town under 45 mins by a car or a bike. The rooms were ok. Spacious for a couple with big windows. Bathrooms were clean. The resort overlooks a huge area of paddy fields. The breakfast at the hotel was decent. Overall a fantastic stay for the money.

Close to nature
We were greatly acquainted with nature. It's so remote that it's an awesome place for nature lovers. I am ok with it, as I don't need pish posh hotel just to stay a couple of nights to roam around Langkawi. So this is certainly a good place to set the night. However you need to rent a car if you are staying in this hotel. Not much to do if you are thinking of just lazing around.

Lovely scenery but low maintanence condition
We love our stay here. It was very enjoyable as the place was peaceful, the scenery was beautiful. We wake up to the birds and watching sunrise with paddy field view. The staff was pleasant and helpful. However we feel bad with the condition of the building as if it was not well maintained. When we reach the hotel, it was dark and very limited of light. It can be quite scary to some who are new to 'kampung' enviroment. The tv channel reception was quite bad and had to watch the football match with a very dizzy view. The breakfast buffet was limited and lack of choices. The dinner was very nice (it was famous for char kuey tiaw). I recommend this place to travellers who wanted to venture out and away from hussle and bustle. We enjoy our privacy and the time spent walking around the area. We also got the chance to feed the monkeys :)
