Homestays in Pahang, Malaysia

I recently had the pleasure of staying at B&J Tioman Dive Resort on Tioman Island, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, it was clear why B&J has built such a strong reputation among divers and travelers alike. One of the first things that impressed me was the cleanliness of the accommodation. The room was well-maintained, comfortable, and spotless throughout my stay. Housekeeping standards were consistently high, making it easy to relax after a day of diving and exploration. The resort grounds were also kept clean and tidy, creating a welcoming and pleasant environment that reflected the professionalism of the entire team. What truly made the experience special, however, was the people. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, approachable, and genuinely eager to help. Whether it was assistance at the reception, advice on local activities, or help with dive logistics, the team always greeted guests with a smile. The dive instructors and divemasters deserve particular praise. They were knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Tioman’s underwater world. Their enthusiasm was infectious and helped create a fun and relaxed atmosphere both above and below the surface. As a diver, I greatly appreciated the balance that B&J strikes between enjoyment and safety. Every dive was well-organized and professionally conducted. Safety briefings were thorough, equipment checks were carried out carefully, and the dive guides remained attentive throughout the dives. Despite maintaining high safety standards, the team ensured that the dives remained enjoyable and memorable. Their familiarity with local dive sites allowed us to maximize our underwater experience while feeling secure at all times. It is reassuring to dive with professionals who clearly prioritize guest safety without compromising the fun and excitement of exploring the reefs. Another highlight of staying at B&J was the abundance of delicious food available nearby. The resort’s location provides easy access to a variety of eateries offering local Malaysian dishes, fresh seafood, Western options, and refreshing drinks. After a day spent underwater, it was wonderful to have so many excellent dining choices within walking distance. The combination of great diving and great food made every day on the island something to look forward to. Overall, my stay at B&J Tioman Dive Resort was outstanding. The clean accommodation, warm and friendly staff, professional dive team, strong safety culture, and excellent food options combined to create an unforgettable holiday experience. I would not hesitate to recommend B&J to anyone visiting Tioman Island, whether they are experienced divers, new divers, or simply looking for a relaxing island getaway. Thank you to the entire B&J team for making my trip so enjoyable, and I look forward to returning again in the future.

The suite was good and spacious. It has balcony and the facility around that area is quite good. The view also nice. There is a few cafe to choose from, and retail outlet like The News and KK Mart outlet. There are basic room item provided such as iron and iron board, slippers, toothbrush, soap & Shampoo, kettle, coffee & tea, mugs, TV, safety box and hair dryer, but there is no mineral/drinking water, small fridge or microwave provided. However the check in is quite tricky as you may find the person arranging check in staying in the alley nearby The News outlet, there is no proper reception counter available. The customer service will not answer your call. They only reply via what's app so do not bother to call, you may get scolded by the lady who answered. This can be said as not a hotel service, so do not expect that kind of services from this provider. It is more like AirBnB style. However it was a nice stay just during the night i don't know why there is strange shouting and yelling and disturbing sound once in a while came out from nowhere. so it's quite disturbing my sleep a few time wake up in a shock hearing something unwelcoming sound. But if your ear is sound proof while sleeping i think it will not becoming a problem to you.

It’s a homestay concept with rooms and kitchen tool. Everything about the property is ok except these: 1. Curtain at the hall sliding door accessing to the balcony should be a blackout curtain instead 2. There’s no stepper/door mat at each of the bathrooms. This made the floor wet and unsafe 3. Basic tv channels are there. It’s best to have more options to have entertainment indoor with family/friends 4. Door knob in the common bathroom and 2nd bedroom are faulty. One of our friend were stuck in the room till we discovered that it should be turned upwards

Fantastic! I absolutely loved it. Everything was so simple and straightforward. The self-check-in process was a breeze – no need to bother anyone. The customer service staff were also wonderful 😊. Nice and very good!

My stay at the Genting Ion Delmon Hotel was pleasant. I spent a night there and it's conveniently located close to Genting. The hotel's Garden Terrace on the 7th floor offered a good selection of food options. However, it wasn't a standard check-in process. To get the keys, you need to go to the designated parking spot on the 3rd floor of the parking level and find the car to locate the staffs. This Airbnb-style hotel, run by a company, had very helpful staff who explained how to use the hotel's lift. The room was clean, spacious, and conveniently provided essentials like bathroom tissues, shower gel, and towels. We paid a RM 200 deposit in cash upon check-in; our deposit was returned immediately upon checkout at the designated parking lot. Overall, the room was well-worth the value for money.

Overall, my experience was pretty good, and we stayed for two nights. The room was clean, comfortable, and the view was fantastic; we could see Genting Highlands directly from our window. The location is very convenient with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making shopping and dining hassle-free. Plus, it's a short drive to Genting Premium Outlet. The only downside was how long check-in took. We queued at the registration point in another building at 4 PM and didn't get checked in until after 5 PM, with a lot of people crowded together. Despite that, the overall experience was positive, and I'd definitely come back again.

This is my utmost best service ever received. After i left and checked out from the hotel i realised that i misplaced my watch and contacted the hotel and they immediately help to search without hesitation even if its off working hours. They contacted the cleaners and all the other staffs to search for my watch and even went to the location my watch was last found. And thankfully i found my watch that i accidentally left in the grab 😭😭😭😭 The staff is so friendly and helpful really love my stay here. The room is also neat and clean and the price is also reasonable. Location also great theres a restaurant just opposite to the hotel and many food nearby just by walking distance. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST CHOICE THE NEXT TIME I COME TO KUANTAN

🌲 Bala Chalet, Cameron Highlands • Pros: A truly wonderful stay, with the charm of an old English cottage. Cozy interiors, rustic atmosphere, and the refreshing cool air of the Highlands made it feel timeless. • Cons: None at all — everything was delightful. • Summary: This chalet captures the essence of a countryside retreat, reminiscent of a classic English cottage. It’s the kind of place that makes you linger, reluctant to leave, perfect for unwinding and escaping the bustle of city life.

Love staying here, it has many amenities perfect for couples or solo travelers. Will definitely stay again next time.

Location-wise, it’s not too bad. It is within walking distance of SkyWorlds Theme Park and SkyAvenue, which is approximately a 10-minute walk via a covered walkway. However, the route is uphill, so it may be challenging for those who are not comfortable walking uphill. The kitchen has an unpleasant smell. Although a water heater is provided and requires filling with water, it emits a bad odour. Need to pay for parking.
