The best place we have stayed in Malaysia!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Jan 2013
We booked one nights stay at another guest house when we first arrived in Langkawi to give us time to find somewhere longer term and luckily we stumbled upon a Soluna guest house flier in one of the travel agents on Cenang beach. We went later that day to have a look and were immediately impressed. We had been backpacking already for 3 months so a clean bed, nice bathroom were the main things we looked for as a minimum but basic was fine. It wasn't always easy to find this on a budget but as soon as we arrived at Soluna we thiught we had struck gold! we were greeted by a friendly face, Claudia, one of the co-owners, amongst a few kittens, cats, a couple of chickens, two cows and a calf in the neighbouring field and a few smiling local Malaysian faces too. The place has a really friendly feel about it and us set amidst some farmland owned by both the guest house and the surrounding locals. It's literally only a 3 minute walk down the path to Cenang beach and the amenities there but as you are on farmland, it gives a really beautiful rural feel. Very tranquil and relaxing. Claudia and her husband and also their friend Shah were really helpful, friendly and gave us tips on where ti eat cheaply, places to visit and so on. We booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 9! It was like home from home. We had an en-suite double room in a little cabana/chalet which was brand new. Clean and Cosey. We paid extra for air-com but all the chalets have fans too. The price for the room was perfect for budget accommodation at 65 ringats for an air-con en-suite. You can stay for less in the dorm if you are backpacking as a group or single which looks great and t the same standard too. I would definitely recommend this guest house to other backpackers and flash packers who are looking for budget accommodation on Cenang beach. We loved it! I should also mention Ida, their neighbouring mother of a Malaysian family. If you go to her house next door, she will cook you delicious Malaysian food for around 3-5 RM per meal! That was also the best food we had in Cenang. Ida is the Malay ladies name who was amazing also. She didnt speak English, we didnt speak Malay, but between us we made friends and ate the best food. An amazing stay and experience all round
