Homestays in Perak, Malaysia

"I really enjoyed my stay at Tambuna Retreat. The room was super spacious, beautifully designed and modern, with a comfortable layout that made the stay feel very relaxing. I especially loved the private back balcony, which was a great spot to unwind and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The hotel also feels very private and exclusive, as there aren’t many rooms, making the overall atmosphere quiet and peaceful. One of the highlights is definitely the beautiful mountain and hill views around Tambun, which give the place a serene, nature-filled feel. Overall, a lovely retreat if you’re looking for a spacious, modern and peaceful stay surrounded by nature. Definitely a place I would consider coming back to."

"This place is an absolute steal! For just over HKD 200, we got a two-bedroom apartment with a large living room. It's brand new, clean, tidy, and feels incredibly spacious. Perfect for a family of three or more, you won't feel cramped at all. There's also an Instagrammable rooftop pool and a garden downstairs for some great photo ops."

"Centrally located yet quiet, off the main roads, avoiding noise. Close to attractions and restaurants, with plenty of authentic local eateries for all meals. Self check-in/check-out: You need to contact staff in advance to get detailed instructions. Check-in and check-out are done via machines in the lobby, and the whole process was smooth with clear self check-in guides. The room and living area are spacious and well-equipped, and the cleanliness is acceptable."

"Overall, the stay was quite good. The room was clean and tidy, with a panoramic view of the water park. The downside was that the hotel contacted me a bit late after booking, which delayed check-in. Also, having to check out at 11:00 AM the next day wasn't very convenient, and I hope they can improve this. The hot water boiler in the room was broken and wasn't fixed in a timely manner."

"Had a wonderful stay with family. The hotel has a beautiful concept with stunning white and blue aesthetics that make the whole place feel peaceful and luxurious. The room was very clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the swimming pool area was absolutely amazing — perfect for family staycation. Overall, highly recommended stay in Ipoh. Would definitely come back again!"

"The hotel was easy to find and had ample parking, which made arrival really convenient. Check in was smooth with a proper check in counter available and having Bila Bila Mart nearby was a nice bonus for grabbing anything we needed. There’s also a swimming pool and gym, the pool was a little crowded during our stay but the gym had plenty of space and was well equipped with the basic equipment you’d need for a workout. One thing I particularly liked about the room was that the shower and toilet areas were separated which made the bathroom feel much more practical and comfortable to use"

"🔑 Check-In & Service Seamless Process: Check-in and check-out are incredibly easy. I really appreciated that they don't require a deposit like other hotels; you simply return your room card at the end of your stay. Outstanding Hospitality: Mister Bernard was so friendly, helpful, and hospitable throughout our entire stay! All the staff at Voyage Retreat are equally helpful and friendly, and it's wonderful that they are all locals. Easy Accessibility: Even though the pathway leading to the rooms is quite hilly, you can easily request a buggy service to get around. And for those with elders and kids, I think you can highlight to them for they to give you to a lower room. 🛏️ The Room & Comfort Spacious & Bright: As you can see in the pictures, the room itself gets plenty of natural lighting and features really high ceilings. Because of this, the room barely feels stuffy or hot during the afternoon and evening. Aircond/Fan: The air conditioning gets pretty cold, and there is also a ceiling fan provided. High-End Bedding: The bedsheets, pillows, and blankets are all spotless, clean, and completely odorless. The mattress is quite firm and thick, reminiscent of what you would find in a high-end hotel, and the pillows are fluffy and very comfortable to sleep on. In-Room Amenities: They provide a water purifier/filter machine right inside the room, which is incredibly convenient so you don't have to walk out to the receptionist or cafe area just to get water. Privacy with a View: The balcony and windows face directly toward the forest, giving you excellent privacy. 🚿 Bathroom & Amenities Spotless Cleanliness: Both the bathroom and toilet are perfectly clean with absolutely no musty smell. The provided towels are surprisingly absorbent, spotless, and fresh. Shower Facilities: The bathroom features both a standard shower and a water heater. The provided shower gel and shampoo smell absolutely amazing. Other Amenities: They provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, a shower cap, and even sanitary bags. 🍽️ Breakfast (Le Pont Cafe) Breakfast is served at the Le Pont Cafe right in front of the lodge. The food is excellent and went way beyond our expectations, with portions that are more than generous for one person. Menus: Crab Curry Mee (The Winner): Absolutely delicious! The broth is thick, flavorful, beautifully balanced, and not too spicy. It was the absolute highlight of the menu. Nasi Lemak: A very interesting take as it includes fish and prawns. The taste is good, similar to a standard hotel nasi lemak. Western Options: Both the English Breakfast and the egg mayo croissant were great as well. The croissant is flaky and fluffy. Desserts/Kuih: They serve fresh watermelon alongside a rotation of traditional local desserts that change daily, including seri muka, karipap, kuih ketayap, koci, and keria. 🛡️ Safety & Peace of Mind Secure Environment: At night, there is a guard doing rounds, so you never have to worry about safety. Honestly, the island itself feels very safe, and the property is surrounded by local houses. Really recommended to stay here if you're looking for a private, quite, clean, comfortable, picturesque place to stay in Pangkor. The only downside is the parking space is very limited. However, everything else is perfect! ps: kinda sad I cannot upload the full video of the room tour in here, as the room is really pretty. It's inspired by Bali vibe :')"
