Hello . I sayed at Sama- Sama Guesthouse and got bitten badly by bed bugs. Another guest at the same night also got bitten badly. They used a heat gun which is used to strip paint off walls to try and get rid of the bugs on the mattress, which is useless!!!! I cannot recommend anyone stay there.

I have had an rather unpleasant experience at this guesthouse. I booked to stay in the Voyage Home guesthouse (MUCH NICER!!!!!!!!) but when I arrived, they did not have my booking. The reason they didn't have my booking is because they shut down their cafe for Chinese New Year and weren't checking the internet to log their confirmed reservations. They... More

I just came back from malacca this afternoon and stayed in this guest house for one night. This guesthouse lies right in the Chinatown area, very easy to find and there is a lot to see nearby. The guest house is in an old chinese-style two level building. There is a small garden in the center, surrounded by the wooden... More

We would totally agree with all the ratings, friendly staff, cozy and nice place. But unfortunately we had to discover after a few hours in bed that a lot of bedbugs were sharing it with us. So currently not the best place to stay.

Sama-Sama is a charming place with a great location. The rooms are basic, and there is a shared bathroom but's is great value for money. The only complain I have is that there is very thin walls (or floors) so it can be a bit noisy. The people there are laidback and freindly and they also have a nice cafe... More

We stayed at Sama Sama's guesthouse for two nights in the beginning of March. After a first night at a hotel that was promised to be brand new and at a great locatin (which turned out to be neither), we was very happy to check in to Sama Sama's. We got a good feel when we came here. Yes, it... More

We stayed at sama sama guesthouse double room for 1 night. It's on the street parallel to Jonker Street and is away from all the noise. The room facility was really just a bed, fan, bookcase & rubbish bin - very basic. The guesthouse is decorated with plants. The staff was very friendly. I read in some other reviews about... More

I went to Sama-Sama Guesthouse on the strength of the reviews here - I was terribly disappointed. I felt I should give you my own impressions, so you can better judge if this is your kind of place or not. Good: The staff is super-nice. They are laid-back, easy-going, and friendly. You get a sense that this is the kind... More

A friend and I shared a double room here for just a night, but it was enough to leave us with great memories of Sama Sama. At 35 ringgit per night, it is very good value: the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the house is charming and clean, the staff friendly and helpful. In the evening, we came back from... More
