Liked: Ray, the owner is very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The hostel is clean, modern and cosy. There is a kitchen with a fridge. Laundry is included. Our room was big enough, had a window and aircon. Tesco is just a 15 min walk away. 1 min walk to the beach. Close to batu ferringhi with a bigger beach and more.
Disliked: Long transfer to city (45mins) or airport (1.5h) with the bus.

Liked: Great location. Really good social area for guests
Disliked: No internet in the room, and this wasnt a temporary issue. Premises water pressure low so shower is very poor once washing machines are on or other guests showering. Upstairs rooms during our stay had no water for any bathroom functions. Property offers self catering facities but it doesnt have a microwave or a hob with a gas bottle. All gas bottles had been allowed to become empty. Offers DIY laundry but guests cannot access washing machines until the hostel laundry was washed which was after 1500 hours.Poor cleanliness in rooms, hairs in plugholes and bathroom draincovers. We washed the bedroom shelves before we placed our clothes on them because of the dirt. We stayed 3 days and the room bin was not empied once. We asked the hostel for help to arrange an early morning pickup -hostel doesnt have a relationship with local taxi firm, arranged for a non metered taxi that wanted to charge 30% more than the non metered taxi we finally arranged ourselves. This could be a great property but is in freefall at the moment due to what seems to be poor management.

Liked: Loved it! After traveling for 6 weeks and staying in few different places, baan talay ranked at the top. The room was very accommodating and clean. The beach was so close to the homestay. The service from the staff was outstanding. Definitely worth especially with such a low price.

Liked: Everything was just perfect. The brand new luxury bungalow house with beautiful decoration especially the lounge area with the fish pond and garden. The people was very helpful, attentive, and wanted to please and make your stay as comfortable as possible. It was only less than 30 seconds walking distance to the beatiful beach. We just loved it so much and would love to go back one day.
