I stayed here 4 nights.Taxi from airport 20Rm. Check in at the laundry shop in front. Large room and bed. The AC & fan worked fine. I gave my used towels at the laundry for an exchange. No one ever changed bed sheets. I empty the garbage into the courtyard like everyone else did. Dont expect too much normal service... More

The room is big as well as the toilet. Downside - hard pillow. Location wise is ok to me, have to walk a bit to the beach but it's not like a trek or anything. Surrounding is quiet. They have a malay stall and laundry in front of the guest house and another malay stall across the road. What I... More

Great value place. Big rooms, friendly enough people at reception. I assume linens are all clean since the front is a laundry. Let them know early and they can help arrange motorbike rental. Women at reception speak good english.

A little back from the beach and main street of Chenang, Langkowie. Clean and simple. Great for the budget traveller. I only spent one night in a double room. No natural light was a bit of a bummer but the bed was comfortable and the AC was powerful. There is a laundry service also available but I didn't use it.... More

Don't judge this hotel by first impressions. It is tucked a away behind a laundry but the rooms are clean and large with good showers and facilities. There is free wifi, a TV, fridge and a patio area outside. It is quiet in the rooms and just a few minutes walk from the beach. It is on the quiet end... More

My husband and I stayed at Desa Motel at Langkawi for 2 nights in the deluxe villa. I would say it was totally worth the money. We were greeted by the friendly staff and especially Mr Yusuf at the reception. He was helpful with getting us taxi and providing important information. A/C room with clean sheets welcomed us. Although the... More

It's known that this motel belongs to a laundry and shares reception with them. This did not affect us in any way. Rooms are spacious and clean. But walls have a rough finish and is not luxurious. Bathroom too is clean and spacious. Tap was not fixed properly but was not leaking. As my wife says, its not cozy, but... More

We found this to be a small, quiet and very friendly place to stay on the western side of Langkawi (Kampung Lubok Buaya). Check in took about 30 seconds and we were shown to our room - all are set out around a shaded courtyard with well tended gardens. Having a laundry on site was very useful too (approx £1... More
