The rooms are old-styled (it’s nice) but there is a lot of small holes, that let the mosquitos ect to the room…

It’s very beautiful hotel, very unique. Nice pool for swimming. The breakfast is ok.

As it was hot & humid , would like the common area in the hotel with aircon but many hotels usually don’t in Langkawi

The staff went above & beyond to decorate the room with a surprise bday decor !

The food taste and quality could improve more.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. I love the traditional houses which has been converted to hotel rooms. It gives you the experience of living in a village - but luxuriously. The surrounding is very green, which is so relaxing and provides a brilliant tropical experience.

In some ways the location didn’t matter because it’s its own oasis but it’s a little isolated from the beach our house being on the 2nd floor looked out over a construction site beyond the property. It was also a bit noisy early hours with the mosque nearby but got back to sleep.

Loved the unique buildings and tranquil setting. The restaurant was great and staff helpful. For us it was the perfect place to unwind at the end of our holiday.

Air conditioning a colonial style property is not perfect due to the style of the building.

Interesting historically with all houses being colonial properties taken from various sites in Malaysia. Really nice old colonial style square bar. At the quiet end of Cenang beach(15 min walk) but has a nearby good place for coffee ( Smiling Buffalo) and the sister property at Bon Ton next door has an authentic Thai restaurant. Use Grab app for taxis as local taxis much more expensive but still not too bad. Would be good for larger groups as whole houses could be booked.

Everything was great but maybe the dinner buffet was limited in choice.

Johor house was amazing

The walls in the room were quite thin so it lacked privacy. Our shower room could've done with some updating on the flooring.

It was a beautiful unique setting with very friendly staff. The breakfast was a nice spread with good selection of teas/coffees and hot chocolate. The location was great as it was a short taxi ride to the main beach but there are local beaches close by too.

Cocktails were a bit too strong.

Beautiful buildings and great location - away from the busy beach but yet still easy to reach all attractions in just a short ride via taxi. Very tranquil setting and love the old houses which have so much character with lovely little touches and attention to detail. Staff were so friendly and helpful in organising tours and helped make a birthday celebration so special. Good breakfast too. Would highly recommend.

Building work adjacent to main house. Noise a bit intrusive and guests might have been better informed of this activity. One of waiters apologised in fairness but nobody else.

Restful place which all very relaxing. Friendly staff. Nice pool (larger one). Very kindly allowed us to use other room for shower etc. since evening flight home.

Such a beautiful place to stay. Loved the old colonial buildings and the pool. Very professional staff too. A lovely treat!

The room at the top level gets stuffy and hot during mid day even with both air condition and fan turned on

Love everything - from the friendly and helpful staffs to the whole resort's atmosphere.

Beach being further away wasn’t a problem, but direct proximity to a vast building site and some passing traffic was a bit annoying.

Amazing historical buildings making up this property. Elegant bar and dining area, a real colonial gem. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Bikes free to use need attention. One had no brakes!

Lovely staff, beautiful setting. Great accommodation, super comfy and a little quirky. Fab toiletries provided, food excellent. Pool unusual but very nice. Helpful sorting car hire.

Temple Tree is a beautiful, tranquil resort staffed by lovely people. Front of house manager Mini was warm and welcoming, the place is beautifully designed with so much careful attention to detail and appreciation of tradition. Incredible pool. Very well stocked bar and excellent martinis.

1) There is one fundamental problem to the concept: the allowance of children. If this property is to promote itself as a relaxing “retreat”, it must ban all children immediately. If it chooses not to, it might as well become a luna park. Regrettably the only negative during this stay is the number of infants, babies and children present. Some quiet and well-behaved, others hyperactive and expectedly loud from 7am. Some well managed, others under very bad parenting - a symptom of our days. It also appears that the property permits dinner bookings from non-guests, an even bigger opportunity for more children to come in and make noise. This issue is so significant that despite the magic of this property, I will not consider re-visiting until children are banned. 2) Some non Malay staff speak extremely limited English with sentences often half understood. Anyone working in the hospitality industry must be able to speak at least some intermediate English. 3) Digital check-in upon arrival: scrap it and move back to traditional check-in. I’m 33 and I’m making this comment - I can only imagine what a 60yo would say. Digital check-in is not consistent with this property’s ‘rustic’ vibe and it just serves to frustrate guests.

1) This is a particularly unique property architecturally, which bases its entire concept on rustic colonialist design. It is a fabulous idea that works well due to how unusual it is. The entire resort (or retreat) is well kept and makes for a special stay. 2) Special thanks to Mini who would always go the extra mile to satisfy us, always with a big smile. The property needs more Minis! 3) Food (including breakfast) is very good. 4) Location is excellent, very accessible to the main sites on the island. 5) Each house is well maintained on a daily basis, as expected

Not a lot to say here really.

I can't say how much we loved this hotel. Loads of characters, very comfortable. We stayed at colonial 2 and it was amazing. Staff where amazing and very helpful. They arranged a tour to the mangroves for us. The restaurant is also very good and reasonable. This isnt a modern hotel so does have some quirks which adds to it's charm but does have some mod cons WiFi Decent TV with netflix and AC.

There were no phones in the rooms in case we needed something urgent. Would have had to walk to reception, where no one would be. (No regular staff at night). Wi Fu broker down the very morning of our departure to the airport, and couldn’t call a Grab driver, as the app was down. Had to ask a kitchen staff in the rear if we could use his phone to call someone..it was cutting it close to catch our flight.

The rustic, colonial setting and grounds. Beautiful area. Concierge was kind, and showed us personally to our room, explaining things. Quite helpful!

Plantation House 5 doesn’t get a lot of natural light, therefore we eventually moved to Colonial House 4 which was beautiful and bright. They only had 2 high chairs at the restaurant, which was only a problem during one lunch when they were both already in use.

Beautiful and unique resort, made for an amazing first vacation with our 8 month old baby. Great food and lovely pool meant we didn’t need to leave the resort much, but Grab taxis were easily accessible. We enjoyed short walks to the smiling buffalo cafe and animal shelter/Bon Ton restaurant next door too.

Very close to airport which is convenient but at the same time it is noisy

Great staff and lovely restaurant.

Actually none but would have liked to have a coffee table or a QR code that links yo the history of the house, how it was dismantled etc.

1. Unique experience of staying in a kampung house with modern amenities. 2. Great surrounding landscape 3. No traffic!! 4. Nice decent cafe.
