"We were the only guests on that day which was really special. We were treated like a king and a queen, with excellent service and very delicious food. We went for a nice short walk around the fruit tree farm and was interesting to see and try to identify all the different fruit trees and fruit growing on them. We also had the whole pool to ourselves which was great, especially because there were spectacular views of the sea and seaside down below. It was a pity that it wasn't durian and mangostene season! The dinner atmosphere was beautiful with the sunset and accompanying music. Even when a storm came in later, the staff served us food directly into the entertainment room which was very cosy! The staff even provided us umbrellas without us having to ask. The chef was kind enough to create an authentic Burmese breakfast followed by one of the best chicken dishes I have ever tasted, honestly! They came out to us for a short chat and was nice to hear their stories. The only negative we could think of was that we had some difficulty getting there on our own. Taxis are few and far between at Balik Pulau, and they don't know of Malihom. Even though there is a sign to indicate where Malihom is, our taxi driver missed it. So it would be nice if transport was provided from Balik Pulau as well as from the aiport and Georgetown. Thanks so much to all the staff for their hard work to make our stay so memorable! I'm planning to take my parents there soon! "

"I see South West Penang is not so convenient and famous, but it has a great natural forest where you can just relax and enjoy the scene. You should not expect a neat stay-in-a-hotel kind of experience here. It is a bit hard to travel from places like Georgetown (though it is not so far, if you go from the airport), and I needed the local people’s help to figure out the way through. But it if you are kind of person enjoying adventures, you will not be disappointed. The hosts are very kind, friendly and helpful too. The place has dorian and other fruit firms at the back of the house, and if you are especially into Dorian, you should not miss the stay in May through June! "

" It is such a wonderful resort in Penang as it is hidden on top of the hill. Many fruit trees along the journey to the resort such as Rambutan, Durian, Langsat, mangosteen, jackfruit etc. You'll be served with the fruits if you happen to be there during the fruits season. The price is reasonable for such a huge villa with 2 bedrooms, living hall, bathroom and dining area. We relax ourselves and spend quality time with my family with no technology interruption, I think that is the whole purpose of holiday instead of just facing the phone and not the person infront of you. It is a very unique and beautiful resort indeed. The Balinese style villas give us a total different kind of experience as compared to the concrete hotels in town. It is very relaxing, close to nature, woke up to birds singing in the morning. Wonderful place to spend with family and friends. I'll come back for sure!"

"Stayed for one night. Since it's located in the middle of nowhere you can't do anything out there without a motorcycle. A walk to the next smaller shop takes you about 45 mins each way. Woke up because a Chinese family had a children's birthday party (8am). Dead insects in the beds, dorms haven't been cleaned ages. Staff is friendly though. The pictures reviewed in the Internet must be months old (and show the best condition the guesthouse could have, it looks way messier there and the terrace isn't really opened) They don't provide any food besides toast and noodles, breakfast is 5rm. Place isn't secured at night, everybody could walk inside. And it's about 2.7km away from the last bus stop in balik pulau (bus ride from Georgetown to balik pulau takes about 90 minutes). Next beach is about 3-5 km away. Wouldn't go there again. "
