We drove through kampung road before arriving at MHC. But after driving out in the evening, the kampung route wasnt scary no more. We stayed two nights in MIn House Camp. four to a room. Good aircond. Very small toilet and bathroom but adequate hot water shower albeit at low pressure. Parking is not an issue unless there is a big group here for meeting. Yes, they have a small conference room!! We went canoeing in the evening. We had char kueh teow timur-style for dinner with the local specialty teh limau madu. The next morning we had nasi kerabu kambing/daging berasap for breakfast. The dinner and breakfast outlets were just outside the kampung on the main road.. Kak Yah shared with us on composting and aquaponics. We collected lokan or clams in the evening when it was raining. It was an experience wading in the knee-deep mud and using bare hands to feel for the clam shells. After dinner we walked to a nearby bridge to look at fireflies. The fireflies here are of the synchronous kind. The following morning before departure, we had a look at stingless beehouses and sip a small sample of pure honey from the egg-shaped pots. This is a must thing-to-do if one travel to kota bharu. Thank you Kak Yah and family.…

I have stayed in Min House Camp for multiple times. Firstly, you must don't have a mind set that this is a world class resort that have an office and staff like a fully operational modern resort nowadays. It is a nature resort manage by a family but this resort is now is an attention for tourists around the world. Many comers from various countries such as France, Spain, UK, United States and many more have come and stayed here. You can come and do many activities such as watching fireflies and learn about herbs and plants inside the camp. You can also do kayaking, organise team building and they event have a program especially for kindergarden named Young Farmer Educational Program. You will experience fun and traquility whenever you are in the resort. For any enquiries you can contact Mrs Wan Noriah 019-922 8440.…

A place where you have honey bee (kelulut species) guided tour at RM 10 per person but this money is actually to help the down syndrome association. The owner will personally explain and bring you around the bees farm. This place is not those commercial honey farm. As such you could only purchase their "kelulut" honey if you are lucky. Was told you can have camping and home stay here but we are here only for 2 hours.

We stayed here for 2 nights on our way to the Perhentian Islands. We came straight from the airport, and the taxi driver had no problem finding it. The setting is lovely, surrounded by lush vegetation, a river flowing by, and an extensive garden. The people are a highlight, super friendly and hospitable hosts who are happy to give local advice and organise taxis, ferry tickets etc. We enjoyed being shown around the extensive garden, learning about the bees and tasting their amazing 'sweet and sour' honey, and a short trip on the river in canoes (be prepared to get a bit wet!) to see the fireflies. We went for a walk through the nearby village, hoping to eat at the local cafe/restaurant, unfortunately, it was closed, so we stopped in at the noodle shack by the bridge for a great lunch, simple but tasty. On our way back from a walk, we had fresh coconut there and a chat with locals who were very welcoming. We had breakfasts and dinner in the dining room at Min House Camp, and I enjoyed trying different local food. The rooms are simply furnished, we had aircon and attached bathroom (some dorms don't), chair, tv, small fridge. Outside there are places to walk, sit, read, watch the river. This is a place to slow down, breath deeply and enjoy the setting and if that is what you are looking for you will love it. Min house camp also hosts large groups and conferences so while we had a very quiet day, by the evening there were two larger groups staying there. The only thing that marred our stay was a school camp who were there on our second night and were anything but peaceful through the night, so it could pay to check who else is sharing the complex with you! Other than that, we loved our stay.…

I booked the room 2 months in advance , only to be told on arrival that they had no rooms available. Initially they offered to put us in a display room with no a/c, but after discussions we were given one of the staff's room. But the a/c didn't really work, so it was a fitful night. One staff member was very apologetic but the damage was done. They did knock 1/3 off the price. The camp is in a rustic locale.

Beautiful location beside river on outskirts of KB. Breakfasts great. Think they are hoping to upgrade rooms which is needed imo. Looked after very well by Simon who took us on fireflies trip which was amazing and sorted us out with kayaking trip and made us feel welcome. Grab taxi service was lifesaver as it enabled us to get out and about to sightsee and visit restaurants in the evening.

This place is great for those seeking the best experience in the nature. Owners are really nice family people. My son loves the place. Only thing is make sure you bring your own food like bread and biscuits.

I did not stay here so can't comment on that side of it, but this is a wonderful place to visit - and I did wish that I had planned to stay for the night to see the fireflies. The welcome was warm and the place is just lovely.

location: 10km from centre transport: 99% taxi (40 ringgit) food: no food provided. the nearest shop with "instant noodles" is 1 km away i stayed few days, and that's all i had. some foreigners stayed 1 night, and.....fasted. the place is used by huge groups, 50/100. shared facilities can be.....challenging! being on a river in the middle of a forest, it's full of mozquitoes, insects. and the dorm is nt properly "sealed". ideal place for someone who fasts and don't mind huge noise and using taxi not ideal if one needs to eat, quiet, some private space, and relies on a budget for traveling.

Response from ime h, Owner at Min House Camp
Responded 23 Feb 2017
Thanks for review. Its 5km to city center. He is coming under CouchSurfing which is being rejected by one of CS in KB and sent to my place. He willing to be a voulenter and we inform him that we dont have exact job everyday since its a small place in malay village. He will be in room at 6pm cause too scared with mosquito even its a flies,and woke up at 11am, gerting angry no food at 11am since my family and other voulenteer had breakfast at 8am. We ask to help in our organic garden at 8am, he got accused by only can help after 12pm which is hot in malaysia. Should we provide food for this type of people who is looking for free accommodation and negative mentality? Rm40 for taxi is totally not logic, its max rm25 if you take a taxi, bus is passing by every 25min which only cost rm1.80 per person. He got sore throat and wanted us to arrange him with ENT speciallist which is not possible directly for specialist since its goverment hospital must be in que list. Its not stayed for a few days and and all he had, he was chased away after being complained by other voulenteer and also we got report from our guest that he told them not to stay here cause nothing is special, even the guest is already a week here. Thanks
