Homestays in Johor, Malaysia

Convenient lift access, simple self check-in, serene environment… The best homestay experience I ever had. Appreciated the tip-top condition maintained. Every corner clean, nicely decorated. Comfortable bed & sofa, sparkling clean bathroom! Highly recommended, definitely will book again if travel to JB.

This is my second stay here, and the place feels once again like home...super friendly and clean and cozy...good value budget accommodation with hot shower, strong fan, self service kitchen with free coffee and tea and drinking water... it's located a bit outside the center of JB but still very walkable... I'll be back!

To the host: Although R&F are closed to custom but the location are really inconvenient. By walking at least 20-30min even covered walkway. Less shop lot and local restaurant surrounding the stay. Check-in instruction was unclear and mismatched the information with booking. Ultimately led me to wrong location and only found out there’s a mistake upon arrival. The network connection at the place are bad connectivity too. Spoiled the entire travel vibes by dragging the heavy luggage and caused inconvenience to traveller. At the end only got sincere apologise by the host since they found the mistake upon arrival. To Trip platform: CS and duty manager lack of empathy. Robotic replies. Duty manager does not know how to write an apology letter and need me to teach how to storytelling and combine all info in one sentence. Just sent multiple messages to interrupt me in chat box . In order to resolve the issue they provided trip coin as compensation but less sincere attitude. Which I understand they only a worker not the boss.

It is a bit tedious when doing self check in, but no problem, the security was very helpful to guide & show from taking the keys & card from the mailbox until ur parking location. Basic amenities are provided, but if u come with family, no worries, utensils for basic cooking are provided. Basic amenities from toothbrush, bedroom slipper & towels r provided but no iron & ironboard. I would say that the bed is the most firm mattress I've slept on. As for me, I like it, but for some others, it is like sleeping on a pile of cardboard boxes 😂.. disappointment is no sea view as shown on the photo & parking is seriously stressful 😕... overall, satisfied with the stay.

After all, it is a homestay, and the facilities and services cannot be compared with those of a big hotel, but it is also very good, and the cost performance is still very high. The best thing about the hotel is the view, which is really a super sea view room.

The house is clean and tidy, the balcony has a good view, and the commercial area is downstairs, which makes life convenient. Some small suggestions for the boss: 1. Some socket panels in the room can be replaced with universal panels that can be plugged into domestic sockets. The hair dryer provided by the boss is a double-port socket, and the sockets are all British and cannot be used. 2. The air conditioner in the small room does not cool well.

Princess Cove was a pleasant place to stay. During the weekdays the stores are a bit empty, but Friday-Sunday it picks up with local food and trucks. Everyone was very helpful and nice. The room was excellent. Everything worked well and up to date. The facilities were also good. Used the gym, but didn't get to use the rest of the facilities because I was alone. Management was really good as well, replied to my messages on time. Would stay there again. Thank you.

super nice n superb i enjoy very much. Everything is fine n the hotel ppl r helpful

This is my first visit to Muar and I had chosen to stay at MUO Resort. I am glad I had made the right choice as it met my stay expectations. I had boarded a coach from Singapore to Muar, whereby I had alighted at Terminal Bentayan Muar. The bus terminal is 2.1km from the resort, which is situated at the fringe of the town centre. After alighting, I headed for lunch nearby, followed by a 20 mins walk to the accommodation. As the resort is nestled inside and not very visible, you would need to look out for its signage at the main road. It is situated between Bei Boutique Hotel and Cok Cai Yan Vegetarian Restaurant. So, keep a lookout for these two places and you will be able to find the property. Upon entering the site, I could not locate the reception. I walked to the back of the compound and enquired with the restaurant staff, only to find out that it is located beside Zuzu Coffee. Opened in 2018, MUO Resort is a 29-room property that offers an interesting theme, whereby the rooms are located in a farm house setting. At the back is a mini zoo compound with animals like goats, sheep, deer, rabbits and cats. There is also a large garden that is ideal for the hosting of events. I had booked the Business Suite (Room No. 205) for my one night stay here. The room is spacious at 28 square metres, which comprised of a living room and bedroom. The rubberwood furnishings supplied by a Muar company, Natural Signature, provided an unique and interesting theme to the room. There are two television units, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom. Besides local channels, there are Cable TV channels like AXN and Astro SuperSport. If you are feeling bored, log in to the bedroom’s SMART TV and be entertained with YouTube and Spotify. The Wi-Fi works well during my stay here. The two air-conditioning units did their job of cooling the room, despite the warm weather. The bathroom has a comfortable size and offers a bathtub, hand held shower and rain shower. The shower pressure is good. However, as there is no partition, the shower water will wet the floor after each bath. In the room, you can find amenities such as bath towels, shower gel, shampoo and hair dryer. Unfortunately, there are no dental kit, mini fridge and electronic safe. A kettle is provided which you can make coffee and fruit tea during your stay here. The resort has two food and beverage outlets namely, Pak Cik Kopitiam (Opens 8am - 2pm) and Zuzu Coffee (Opens 11am - 8pm). Whilst I did not have breakfast there, I headed out to a coffeeshop called Heng Mui, located just 50m away. This is a popular coffeeshop which was frequented by the Sultan of Johor. I had a hearty breakfast which comprised of toast, half-boiled eggs, Nasi Lemak and coffee. Next to this coffeeshop is a 24hrs 7-Eleven store. Come night, a Ramly Burger stall known as Fendy Fast Food operates beside this convenience store. I bought a burger there for supper during my stay there. The resort is a 15 mins (1.1km) walk

this is shared home, you just rent the room. no privacy at all!! one house have 3 rooms, and 3 tenants you didnt know

I originally booked a room with full sea view for two nights, but because I arrived very late, the room I booked was no longer available. I changed it to a three-room room with half sea view, and the equipment was relatively old. I had to walk around so late. After some reasoning, I just got a better three-bedroom sea view, but of course it's not as good as the full sea view I originally requested. But it's too late and too tired. I don't want to argue. The other problems are not big, I just want to book it. The full sea view is gone. Secondly, the transportation here is inconvenient. It is best to have a car or grab a car to get there.
