Homestays in Pahang, Malaysia

I recently had the pleasure of staying at B&J Tioman Dive Resort on Tioman Island, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, it was clear why B&J has built such a strong reputation among divers and travelers alike. One of the first things that impressed me was the cleanliness of the accommodation. The room was well-maintained, comfortable, and spotless throughout my stay. Housekeeping standards were consistently high, making it easy to relax after a day of diving and exploration. The resort grounds were also kept clean and tidy, creating a welcoming and pleasant environment that reflected the professionalism of the entire team. What truly made the experience special, however, was the people. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, approachable, and genuinely eager to help. Whether it was assistance at the reception, advice on local activities, or help with dive logistics, the team always greeted guests with a smile. The dive instructors and divemasters deserve particular praise. They were knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Tioman’s underwater world. Their enthusiasm was infectious and helped create a fun and relaxed atmosphere both above and below the surface. As a diver, I greatly appreciated the balance that B&J strikes between enjoyment and safety. Every dive was well-organized and professionally conducted. Safety briefings were thorough, equipment checks were carried out carefully, and the dive guides remained attentive throughout the dives. Despite maintaining high safety standards, the team ensured that the dives remained enjoyable and memorable. Their familiarity with local dive sites allowed us to maximize our underwater experience while feeling secure at all times. It is reassuring to dive with professionals who clearly prioritize guest safety without compromising the fun and excitement of exploring the reefs. Another highlight of staying at B&J was the abundance of delicious food available nearby. The resort’s location provides easy access to a variety of eateries offering local Malaysian dishes, fresh seafood, Western options, and refreshing drinks. After a day spent underwater, it was wonderful to have so many excellent dining choices within walking distance. The combination of great diving and great food made every day on the island something to look forward to. Overall, my stay at B&J Tioman Dive Resort was outstanding. The clean accommodation, warm and friendly staff, professional dive team, strong safety culture, and excellent food options combined to create an unforgettable holiday experience. I would not hesitate to recommend B&J to anyone visiting Tioman Island, whether they are experienced divers, new divers, or simply looking for a relaxing island getaway. Thank you to the entire B&J team for making my trip so enjoyable, and I look forward to returning again in the future.

The suite was good and spacious. It has balcony and the facility around that area is quite good. The view also nice. There is a few cafe to choose from, and retail outlet like The News and KK Mart outlet. There are basic room item provided such as iron and iron board, slippers, toothbrush, soap & Shampoo, kettle, coffee & tea, mugs, TV, safety box and hair dryer, but there is no mineral/drinking water, small fridge or microwave provided. However the check in is quite tricky as you may find the person arranging check in staying in the alley nearby The News outlet, there is no proper reception counter available. The customer service will not answer your call. They only reply via what's app so do not bother to call, you may get scolded by the lady who answered. This can be said as not a hotel service, so do not expect that kind of services from this provider. It is more like AirBnB style. However it was a nice stay just during the night i don't know why there is strange shouting and yelling and disturbing sound once in a while came out from nowhere. so it's quite disturbing my sleep a few time wake up in a shock hearing something unwelcoming sound. But if your ear is sound proof while sleeping i think it will not becoming a problem to you.

Cleanliness - The unit is clean. But found that toilet rug was not changed as it looked dirty and partially wet. Towels with stains. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good stay. Good location - walkable distance to restaurants and convenience stores Good and fast service from service crew - no long q for checking in and out Swimming pool - so many people in swimming pool on weekends, looks like soaking in water instead of swimming, the water didn’t look clean (abit yellow/greenish), recommend to skip swimming ya

Fantastic! I absolutely loved it. Everything was so simple and straightforward. The self-check-in process was a breeze – no need to bother anyone. The customer service staff were also wonderful 😊. Nice and very good!

Overall, my stay at Ion Delemon Premier Suites Genting was decent and worth the price. The staff were friendly and helpful 👍 Just a heads up — make sure to bring cash for the deposit, as not all payments are accepted cashless. Parking was convenient and easy to access, but it is charged separately (not included in the stay). The room was clean and comfortable, although the amenities were quite basic. Still acceptable considering the affordable price. However, one major issue that needs improvement is the presence of bed bugs. I personally experienced bites during my stay. That said, I do appreciate the staff’s quick response — even at around 3AM, they came to assist, sprayed the room, and changed the bedsheets. Still, this is something the management should take seriously and ensure the bedding is thoroughly cleaned for guests’ comfort. In conclusion, it’s okay for a short stay, but cleanliness—especially the bed—needs improvement.

Overall, my experience was pretty good, and we stayed for two nights. The room was clean, comfortable, and the view was fantastic; we could see Genting Highlands directly from our window. The location is very convenient with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making shopping and dining hassle-free. Plus, it's a short drive to Genting Premium Outlet. The only downside was how long check-in took. We queued at the registration point in another building at 4 PM and didn't get checked in until after 5 PM, with a lot of people crowded together. Despite that, the overall experience was positive, and I'd definitely come back again.

I recently stayed here for a business trip with four colleagues. We booked five separate rooms, choosing this location based on its competitive pricing and convenient location. While the physical property itself is impressive, the management process left a lot to be desired. The Good: Comfort & Space Rooms: The rooms are genuinely clean, neat, and very spacious. For the price point, the value of the actual living space is excellent. Parking: Finding parking was easy and secure, which was a major plus for our group as we had our own vehicles. Location: Perfectly situated for getting around Kuantan efficiently. The Bad: Maintenance & Missing Basics The property feels slightly neglected in terms of upkeep. In my specific room: The shower head holder was loose, making it difficult to use. There were no floor mats provided, which is a basic necessity to avoid tracking water across the room after a shower. The Ugly: Management & Customer Service This is where the experience fell short. The administrative side of this stay was disorganized and stressful: Automated Communication: Their chat system is powered by an AI that provides ”canned” answers. It failed to address any of our specific questions, making communication feel like a dead end. Check-in Delays: We weren't sent the check-in passwords on time. We had to track down a separate person-in-charge just to get access to our rooms late in the day. Pricing Inconsistencies: The documentation stated a RM50 deposit per room, but we were charged RM60. While the amount is small, the inconsistency feels unprofessional and creates a lack of trust. Final Verdict: If you value space and price above all else, this is a solid choice. However, be prepared to fight for your check-in details and deal with a non-responsive service team. I hope management fixes their communication flow and updates their facilities soon.

The environment is so so nice and British English style ! The scone was so so perfect ! We had enjoyed it so much Hot water supply is good at least it worked well 👍🏼 They would be better if the room provide extra slipper ( if the storekeeper is around might request from them , I request from the front counter they said they don have the store key, well I don think this is a reason 🌝🌝) the bedsheet has some stain but is ok And please try out their lunch n dinner set , curry smel so so good

Best for a one-night stay. Might be a bit difficult for tall people as the room size is small, but overall good ✨

Location-wise, it’s not too bad. It is within walking distance of SkyWorlds Theme Park and SkyAvenue, which is approximately a 10-minute walk via a covered walkway. However, the route is uphill, so it may be challenging for those who are not comfortable walking uphill. The kitchen has an unpleasant smell. Although a water heater is provided and requires filling with water, it emits a bad odour. Need to pay for parking.
