Great Quiet, Rustic, Accommodating Stay!

Review of Min House Camp
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Sept 2016
We had the pleasure to stay in the floating house, hosted Aiman and the Min House Camp family. The Camp offers a quiet, comfortable, and intimate escape to nature within a genuine 'Kampung'-style environment.

We enjoyed The Camp's animal residents (most notably monkeys, snakes, rabbits, turtles, turkeys, chickens, and 'stingless' bees), joined a guided nighttime firefly tour by boat, kayaked the river alongside fish and monitor lizards, and took an archery lesson. We also enjoyed a small cafe restaurant a short walk into the local village. All the while, we were treated to excellent traditional food, offered great advice and information, and even given a ride to our train to Taman Negara.

We highly recommend staying at The Camp as either a connection stopover or as a destination, itself.

The Min house camp is a wonderful place to relax, learn about Malaysian culture, religion and villager life. But most important, it's a place where you can see what warmness and happiness means! Aiman is one of the greatest guys I have ever met. He and his family do everything to make you smile and happy.
Apart from great feeling they offer awesome food and activities like Kanu, karaoke,... It can't get boring there!
Aiman took me on a boat to see the fireflies.. Wow, that was incredible!

Everybody should go and visit the min house camp. You will love it! It's awesome!

We stayed just one night in Min House Camp but it's been a very nice experience. Far from the noise of Kota Bharu we have met very friendly and welcoming Malaysian people. We shared a meal with them and enjoyed a peaceful night in the nature. Thanks for everything. See ya

We stayed there for a couple of nights. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. The best way to communicate with them was by whatsapp. They helped us a lot with our onward journey and helped us organise day trips. Aiman, one of the owner's sons was very helpful and spoke very good English. The guest house does a lot for the local community especially for the disabled youth and I respect them for that. They have two lovely cats!! Other animals were also on site but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to get to know them. Strongly recommend firflies night trip and kayaking in the river. I will strongly recommend for people who are not after five star facilities but an experience.

Not far from Kota Bharu this place is much more pleasant and authentic than the city itself.
The beautiful countryside surrounding it's great to relax and enjoy the Malay daily live with a very nice family who will assist you in an exceptional way.
The atmosphere both the hostel and the neighborhood is excellent and you can enjoy delicious local meals in the buffet if you desire. It's a very good choice!

非常適合家庭親子出遊,或是好友聚會的地方,遠離城市的喧囂,像世外桃源一般。生態多元豐富,蜜蜂養殖、鳥、猴子、鵝、雞⋯⋯最特別的是可以划獨木舟看螢火蟲。Aiman和他的家人們都非常的友善和親切,我們分享彼此的經驗(旅行、深潛、美食⋯。由於時間有限,我們只待了一晚,若是時間充足真心希望能在這多待幾天,是一個值得再次拜訪的好地方。

We stay at Aiman place one night.the place is peacefull like paradise. Aiman is very friendly, interesting.His family is very hospitable and welcoming.I learn how to kayaking.it's pretty fantastic.special experiences in Malaysia! thank you for everything!
