My husband and I were on long beach for 5 nights (2nd July - 7th July 2020) I didn't plan on doing my PADI open dive course and felt a little nervous about it, but after speaking to Nicole, I was assured I would love it, and I did. Aslam and Nicole were amazing. Very relaxed, professional and patient. Over the three day course we had so much fun. Every member of staff at Matahari were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to friends, and will be sure to go back for a dive when I am on the island again. Suzie took us on a dive after I finished my course, and was fantastic, she has a very calm and reassuring manner. Great value for money. Check them out! #aslamisawesome

Came here with friends to get our PADI. Became family in a few hours! Super friendly and professional instructors and staff. Room was tidy and clean. Mosquito nets provided but be nice if you bring along bug/mosquito spray. Expect electricity cut off from 10am to 6pm. Almost standard around Perhentian Kecil. We didn’t mind it cause most of the time we were out at the dive centre and out diving. Do come here to get your PADI or even just to chill. Thank you so much Jeng, Aslam, Nicole, Ajiq, Suzy for the superb treatment and experience! Wish I knew these guys sooner. Definitely will only come back here when in Perhentian! Thank you. Love you guys! Ps see you soon haha

We stayed at matahari chalets for 5 nights and had a very nice time. There are different options to stay in: - dorm 50 rm per night per person - longhouse 90 rm per night 2pp Own bathroom and fan - bungalow 110 rm per night 2pp Own bathroom and fan - Chalet 120 rm per night 2pp Own bathroom and fan - room with aircon 170rm per night 2pp Own bathroom We stayed at the longhouse so we do not exactly know what the other options look like. Breakfast is included in this one and it's a very good one with multiple options. Comes with coffee, juice and fruit plate. This accommodation corporate with matahari divers and angel divers but be aware that it's different management so contact them separately. I did my advanced open water with matahari divers for around 190 Euro. That's the cheapest I found and I'm traveling for a long time so... Fun dive is 15 euro for 1.

In my opinion this is the best value for money on long beach (tried several places) if you take a longhouse room. It's clean, has a mosquito net, allows for privacy, there is space to put your stuff. Breakfast is included (supposed to start at 7:30 but honestly do not hope to get it before 8). Very beautiful and quiet garden. As a solo traveller it really was a treat, but if you're 2 people then it is definitely worth it.

Understandable due to its cheap price we shouldn’t expect much from thefacility. No electricity from 930am-630pm. Breakfast provided. I can say the cheapest option on Long Beach if you want a complete package for accommodation and fun dives trip. But still not an excuse for poorly maintained room. Super humid in the room. Set the temperature at 16 but still temperature as if no air conditioner was on. Clogged toilet. Basically feet soaked in dirty water when you tried to take your bath. Quite sad to be honest.

Air conditioning was working like a fan and it not cooled down the temperature at all...place was dirty, I had a war with mosquitos all night long like in the morning there was a mosquitos cemetery on my bed. Electricity is on only between 7pm to 10 am and the price for that room is just too high. You can hear the bum bum music till 4am, I spent only one night there and I ran away, went to the other Perhentian island, Besar, which is a way better if you’d like to relax!!!

Stayed at Matahari with friends 2 weeks back for our getaway. The room is decent considering the price paid. The dive instructor was also very detailed and patience in preparing newcomers like myself for the discover diving. The only bad thing was the lack of free wifi even though their email states so.

Enjoyed my stay at the dorm, manage to meet some great people from around the world. Dorm was generally clean, attached toilet, air-cond & fan. Matahari restaurant has a good selection of breakfast and dinner was great, may not be cheapest but overall quality is there based on my opinion.

Me and my girlfriend stayed in one of the rooms in the long house, and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The room was very hot during the days when the electricity is out, but during the nights we had a fan making sure we were able to sleep in the warm climate. A big plus for the breakfast!
