But they should improve in terms of hanging place for clothes and towel. At the same time, 3 of the dining chairs should be replaced since it easily broken and may be dangerous to the customers. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee 7 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Lee Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### MOHD AZIM HANAFI 29 Nov 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### MOHD AZIM HANAFI Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I like the beautiful flowers and the place..

They had bbq pit so it was convenient for us to bring along fresh seafood for our bbq. Staff were very friendly. Bedding were comfortable. We lived in the villa which were spacious overall - all three rooms were spacious attached with own toilets. Rooms lack tables or even clothes rack. It would have been good to have somewhere to hang clothes or towels. Road is steep and Very limited space car park area. Villa could be updated. Surrounding area like the gardens and common areas could be better maintained and clean. Overall there’s potential for upgrades. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay 200m from KK park enyrance.
