17 November 2009	Customer review The location is great - the beach is right across the street and there is also a great bar that does gorgeous cheap food. There are other hostels on this quiet street so it is a real backpackers place. It is run by a family who are friendly and do their best to help. The room is basic but for the price what do you expect - its actually alot roomier than other doubles we have had in Singapore and KL. We had room with fan and it was fine. There are no powerpoints in fan rooms but you can charge things out on balcony area. The shower head is in the shared bathroom and not in a seperate cubicle so it wets the toilet seat - this isn't an issue for us but I know it can be for some people so its worth noting. I enjoyed our stay there.	77%

09 July 2009	Ruth Dear The Staff were really friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, right next to the beach. It is a little way out of Georgetown but the area has plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and hotels so there are lots of people around. The markets are really good and there is also an excellent food court where you can get all sorts of different cuisines really cheaply! We had an amazing stay.	92%

01 April 2008	claire thomas We really enjoyed our stay at Baba House mainly cos the staff there were so accommodating and so friendly. It was a stone's throw from the beach and Baba House let you borrow their beach mats for use on the beach. It was right next to a row of restaurants and bars which was handy. The room we had had an attached bathroom but there were also rooms with shared bathrooms. It wasn't the most fanciful place we've stayed but it wasn't pretending to be either. Staff friendless more than made up for this!	87%
