I came here on short notice, just before christmas eve 2011. wandered around for an hour, bumped to this place and stayed 3 days. I have got the back room garden and chicken view, but i wasnt really expecting sea view. Place is well located, simple breakfast was included, room was spartan and fairly clean. Best thing about the place... More

I stayed at Rumours Guesthouse for a week in December 2012. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the friendly owners, we were soon given a refreshing welcome drink and while we recovered from our journey to Langkawi in the hammocks by the bar we chatted to the staff to find out where was good to eat out, to drink...

This Guesthouse is not all that bad as some of the other reviews make it sound. The location is really good, the place is really relaxed and good for meeting other travelers. During evenings they play movies in the lounge area and drinks and food are available also. A little more effort could make this place really special, but we... More

I stayed here a couple of nights in July. Room was spacious but old with a comfortable bed and working air conditioning. Bathroom was not in the best condition. There was no hot water. It's maybe the cheapest accommodation in town, so you can't expect any luxury. The owner doesn't speak much English, but there's another guy who does and... More

We stayed 3 nights in Rumours and had a very bad experience. At first it seemed nice - the front area has a nice chilled backpacker vibe to it and we agreed to an airconditioned double room. The room was very dirty - clearly had not been cleaned for a long time. There was blood stains on the sheets, dead... More

I stayed here for a few weeks as my first port of call in Malaysia. At first I had a good impression of the place but that changed quite quickly. There was a leak in the roof of my room and water dripped straight on to the bed. As it was low season they just gave me a spare key... More

This was a mistake at the end of a long day that I regretted all night. Yes it was relatively cheap, but the room had clearly not been touched since the last person stayed there, and the bedding smelt like something had died. The towels were no more than heavily stained rags and the bathroom left me feeling more dirty... More

What can I say about this place! We came back twice on our 6 month trip through Asia because we loved it so much, good budget option in the main area of Langkawi, just across the road from the beach, good quality food for a reasonable price and the snickers milkshakes were to die for! Good area to hang out... More
