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.

Little maintenance could save more good reviews.

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.

Late check-out....consider first

Near to makam maisuri , skycab 
Surrounded with mountains and people who need fresh air and good place for couples have honeymoon .no need air conditioner because when raining ,the place is cold , recommended for couples and family.

Group vacation

3 adults 2 kids

Pros 1. A working refrigerator.
2. Out of 4 rooms, 3 rooms with aircond. Airconds are in working condition.
3. Clean floor.
4. Nice paddy field view from one of the room.

Cons. 1. My worst nightmare staying in a homestay, is the house having an old musty smell. Guess what, they have it. Luckily is just one of the room, not the whole house. But then the smell  already put me off.

2. Kitchen - We have young kids. We planned to do some cooking. However, utensils are not suitable for cooking. Old Aluminium pots, a rusty pot, stained plastic cups, stained plastic kettle, scratched rice cooker. All plastic cups, cant make hot beverage. 

3. Bathroom - clean. Water flow is slow, can't do much about it. Small bathrooms, don't expect a bathroom sink.  No water heater - Adult have no problems. For my young kids and elderly, we have to boil hot water. Luckily stove is working. 

4. Red ants spotted randomly in the house. Lizard droppings on the blanket sheet.  Its a kampung area, not to forget. Great educational session with the kids though.

5. Clean.. problem is the interior fittings are not up to the par. Loose door knob to greet you, some paint on wall peeling off, mouldy bathroom wooden doors, poor workmanship of the tile floors ( uneven floors), sofas PVC skin is peeling off. All these can be improved.
