Deliberately chose Vila Sri Kampung as it was in the middle of the Jungle full of nature.
My review will be slightly biased as I am already used to the tropical “happenings” like ants etc. as I am from Singapore.
The stay was amazing as I could literally see the wild dusky leaf monkeys and hornbills right in-front of me across the glass panel.
Pros:
1. Have nature right in-front of your face.
2. Experience nature like literally
3. Aircon works
4. Surprisingly no mosquitoes
5. Hot shower works fully functional
6. TV works with Netflix preloaded
7. Breakfast offered is super awesome. Had the best Roti Cenai (or roti prata in sg term). The Malay style breakfast was top notch. Mango is super sweet and juicy as if you hydrated a pack of 7D mangoes.
Cons:
1. In the middle of nowhere. Definitely rent a car and use google map to guide yourself through the jungle.
2. The owner is pretty much uncontactable on this platform. Please please use watsapp to contact her. Also best to have a Malaysian friend/partner that speaks Malay with Malaysian number so that he/she can contact the owner swiftly so that you can enter the villa upon arrival.
3. Guard dogs if you’re scared of dogs
4. Ants if you’re not used to the tropical norms. To be honest, just follow basic camping ethics: after eating don’t leave wrappers lying around, don’t drop sugar crumbs. Dispose leftovers or wrappers into plastic bags and tie them properly.
5. Shower is functioning but bathtub is not as I was not able to switch water from the shower-head to the bathtub tap.
6. Wild insects like bees entering your villa at night if you on the lights. Just adopt the healthy lifestyle and follow the sun.
This place is definitely for you if you want to experience the jungle first hand and feel like an explorer in the comfort of air-conditioned villa. Great escape from the digital world. This is not a place for you if you’re whiny ass cosmopolitan kid that has never touched grass or have short temper as things are definitely slow.
The resort villa would be a better choice.
