Malinja Homestay

Booked Malinja homestay for 8 days and do our own cooking while on holiday. First impression took us aback to find the house lack of maintenance. We got loose taps, no bathroom sinks or mirrors. Loose door knobs at almost doors in the house. Understandably due to its location in Kampong area, expect some pests(ants, flying bugs and house lizards.. Water heater for display only. Furthermore with unpleasant/unusual smell every time we open to enter the house. And for WiFI, it’s totally never exist at all. Never expect the excuse given that the whole 1Malaysia Wifi is down at that period of time. Those really in the Budget for longer stays, please consider my experience as it would be suffice for few nights only. Neighbourhood feels safe but can be very dark at night. Be sure to reach back the homestay if not familiar with the area.

Everything was fine until the owner call to asked us a shocking question. "When we want to check-out?". Yes...I understand that check-out time is 12pm, but I've already leave a comment / special request during the reservation on expedia that, me and my family need a late check-out because our flight is 3pm. Not only that, I've also informed the staff during the check-in about our late check-out. she said it's ok because I request to out around 2pm. Please tell me earlier...not less than 1 hours. Still, thank you for compromising with us when I request before 1pm. If you want to out around 12pm or early...this place is ok. Air-cond not so cold...seem like they not top-up the air-cond gas and water is slow.

Pros: It's ok for family and location really near at Makam Mahsuri.

Cons: Alert customer in advance if we are not allowed to check-out late.

Location: Near Makam Mahsuri
