Great
AAnonymous UserThe homestay is very spacious and clean, making our stay comfortable. An extra bed was provided, which was very convenient, and having a washing machine was a big plus. The condominium itself is nice and well maintained. Customer support was fast and responsive, and everything was well arranged from pre-stay instructions until checkout.
A deposit is required to be prepaid, which was handled smoothly. The only downside was that slippers were not provided in the house. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend this place.
CCHEWLocation was great and within 10 mins drive to all the popular eating shops and 15 mins to shopping area of Ipoh city centre. Free car park helps a lot and we enjoyed the rooftop swimming pool with nice aerial view of the mountains at the background. Host was responsive as they only had 3 mugs for our booking for 6 people. When we requested for more, it was brought to us quite promptly. Except for the kitchen and dining area which is a little cramped and a huge stain mark on the kitchen flooring area, it was perfect as the place was clean.
GGuest UserA mountain-view room that purifies the soul. The air was fresh and humid after the rain. Swimming at the foot of the mountain was a great escape from the heat. Playful long-tailed macaques roam around. The security guards were also very friendly and helpful. Great value for money and a wonderful host – I accidentally left some personal belongings behind, and both the host and security guards promptly helped me communicate and retrieve them. Looking forward to enjoying life at The Cove again next time! ❤️⛰️
GGuest UserThe decoration inside the hotel is very beautiful and you can take a lot of photos inside. There are counter staff during the day and guards at night.
The room service takes an environmentally friendly approach, and many items will not be replaced unless you ask for it. What was a little unusual was that most hotels would help make the bed, but this was not the case during my stay. After returning to the room, I was confused as to whether anyone had come in to clean it.
GGuest UserTypical ‘Airbnb’-like experience , everything is digital, just follow instructions you’ll be fine. Online WhatsApp to contact the management team, they are pretty responsive.
2 issues
Our unit in 08-07A, the common toilet started to stink after a shower, think the plumbing needs to be rechecked. Strangely the stink went away the next day after the toilet dried out by itself.
The car park for this development is REALLY NARROW and u have to park designated lots. We drove 4 levels up and sharp turn saw many cars scratch their side on the pillars. Not the fault of the accommodation but be wary if u r driving a car and a new driver, go SLOW!
Good stay overal
CCatherine scI had a generally pleasant stay at this homestay. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The location is also convenient, with easy access to nearby amenities. A special mention to the security guard downstairs, who was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the overall experience even better.
However, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low—so much so that it made showering quite difficult and uncomfortable. Additionally, for a two-bedroom unit, only one access card was provided. This was quite inconvenient, as the card is required not only to enter the unit but also to use the elevator, making it challenging for multiple guests to move around freely.
Overall, while the stay was comfortable and enjoyable in many aspects, addressing these issues would greatly enhance the guest experience.
GGuest UserStudio room walaupun sderhana tapi kebersihan Dan suasana yg selesa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ tapi the most important tuan RUMAH amat memahami tq next time kita repeat lagi ❤️🔥❤️🔥 recommend sgt utk ssiapa yg nak 2h1m
GGuest User1) car park is a bit challenging to drive up in circle, at least not to high
2) Very new building, everything in the room is very clean, cosy. It has bath shower tub, baby cot. Just that if the group does not need the baby cot, can consider keeping it. As the room has some constrain. Shape of unit is long, with the baby cot, the room is a bit difficult for elderly to move. We let elderly have room with toilet.(main bed room)
3) nice view of Ipoh, easy to find unit. Never use facilities, so no comment on that.
4) Easy to find food nearby, short drive
TTerence Yong RenThe property is a newly built bungalow just beside a hill and a temple. there are plenty of local foods around within a few minutes of walking distance. the check in check out is very simple, and the host and caretaker are friendly. since it's slightly further out from the city, the air is fresh especially so because we are beside one of the big hills.
One downside: at night, there will be a low pitch humming, which I presume is the pump running for the water tanks. it didn't bother me, but soundproofing could be improved for the rooms.
there's enough parking at the property or beside it for about 6-7 cars, so no issues there.
