The pictures are very deceiving and I am guessing taken some time ago. The place has been not very well taken care of and in desperate need of some maintenance. Walkway planks rotting, nails sticking up, no rice fields anymore, cabins need sprucing up. When our driver dropped us if he literally said “oh live like in the village…. 20 years ago.

Very enjoyable stay! We loved the somewhat open-air bathroom and the beautiful grass around the room. It was very entertaining sitting on the porch and watching the cows. At night, the stars were gorgeous. Though it’d be helpful if there was a way to get more water.

Really lovely traditional Malaysian bed and breakfast in a good location near Cenang centre, still nice and quiet but you can walk into town and to the beach in 10 mins. Continental style breakfast brought to your hut in the rice fields every morning, included in the price! Lovely staff, delightful private outdoor shower, cute cats, chickens, storks and water buffalo ... what more could you need?!

A new experience

Such a serene place for a getaway yet still very near to the happening pantai cenang. Plus, its something else than regular boutique hotels. How often do you stay in a comfy hut above the paddy field?

Lovely outlook on some former padis with views of birds and buffaloes, very comfy wooden bungalows with good beds, ac and a mini fridge. Free bicycles to explore the countryside. Nice breakfast served on your patio... So much nicer than the concrete hotels on Langkawi's main strip. Would def stay here again!

Most enjoyable stay in Langkawi

If you want a unique experience, go to the Gemalai Village. We had the best time there. The cottage was clean and comfortable and it was nice to have breakfast on our terrace every morning. The nature is close to you there: you can watch water buffalos, eagles, lizards and different birds all day. There's a supermarket close to it and it's walking distance from the beach. Customer service was also excellent, we got vegetarian breakfast when requested. Just a perfect place to stay!
