Country Garden Danga Bay Sea View Homestay by Stayrene

10/10 Excellent

"Pool: Poor condition! Unit: Very clean. Location: Perfect, lotsa eateries and mini marts. Check in process: Need improvement between housekeeping & management. Despite advising our check in time and confirmation that we were able to check in at 3pm, our keys arw not available as unit still under housekeeping status. Keys collected close to 5pm. We could have done so much things in that 2hrs waiting!"

Potpourri Boutique Hotel

"Overall worth the price. The only downside would be the room door condition. Causing door banging sound can be heard frequently which can be very disturbing when you are asleep."

"Location is good and safe. One of the toilet water heater is not functioning. The stove area have ants and quite dusty on the cooker hoverboard. Few plates are oily so we need to do some wiping and cleaning before use. There’s Netflix well going. "
