3-Star Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

⭐️ (Strongly Not Recommended) My stay at A Coral Reefs Resort from 21–23 March started off acceptable, but what happened after check-out was deeply disappointing and raises serious concerns about the hotel’s professionalism and integrity. After I had already left the property and arrived at the airport, I received a call accusing me of being involved in a missing RM1200 reported by three foreign guests. This accusation was based solely on a vague CCTV clip showing me sitting in the lobby and putting something into my pocket. Let me be absolutely clear: such an allegation, made without concrete evidence, is irresponsible and unacceptable. The hotel’s account of the incident was inconsistent and unreliable. I was first told the money was left on a table, and later it was claimed to be inside a pair of pants. The inability to establish even the most basic facts seriously calls into question the credibility of the entire claim. Even more concerning is the timeline. If the alleged incident took place on 21 March, why was I only contacted on 23 March, after I had already checked out and reached the airport? This delay reflects either poor internal handling or a lack of proper investigation. The CCTV clip provided was incomplete and unclear. It merely shows me placing my own personal belongings (my phone and medicated oil) into my pocket. There is absolutely no evidence that I handled or took any cash. Relying on such selective and inconclusive footage to imply wrongdoing is not only unprofessional, but also unfairly damaging to a guest’s reputation. We have formally requested the full CCTV footage to ensure transparency and proper verification of facts. Failure to provide complete and unedited recordings will only further undermine the credibility of this accusation. If this matter is not handled appropriately, we will not hesitate to escalate it through formal complaint channels. Guests should be aware that without clear evidence, this establishment is willing to cast suspicion based on assumptions rather than facts.

This hotel is super cool, I really liked it. The room was clean, with a smart TV, and the lobby was very stylish. There's free popcorn. The pool area is also great, with a beautiful view of the jungle. The food is delicious, and the bar has a rich selection of drinks. My only minor complaint was the lack of towels – only a bath towel and a foot towel were provided. I would have liked towels for my face and hands as well. The main downside was the walk to the beach… I never did find the shortcut that people mentioned in reviews, so I always took the long way around. It felt quite spooky walking there because Langkawi gets very dark, and on one side there's an empty, fenced-off lot, and on the other, a hotel and construction site. Overall, it felt pretty safe, considering I walked alone at different times of the day and nothing happened. But the hotel itself is just superb, I'm thrilled!

There were 2 nights in the hotel, the area was tidy but no comfort. The people in the hotel are few, the pool is small and green, and the child was very interested in swimming in the basket. It was chosen with the pool, but it was not possible to use it. The location is good, close to the oceanarium and the Chenang Square. Nearby is excellent varung, only there and with whom they met advised it and often met there. Hotel on 1-2 night will go, but not more

I loved the location – right by the sea, quiet and incredibly relaxing, perfect for unwinding. The owner was also fantastic, very warm, welcoming, and attentive to guests. It’s centrally located, so everything is within easy reach. The bed was really clean, which is something I always prioritize. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely choose this place again next time.

Lovely Stay – Great Value, Super Comfortable and Friendly Staff! 🥰🥰 We stayed here for one night and had such a great experience! We booked the family of four room even though it was just the two of us — we wanted a big bed each, haha — and it was perfect. The beds were king-size and super comfy, so we both slept really well. The room was clean, spacious and very affordable — great value for money. A kettle and tea were provided, which was a nice touch. There weren’t many amenities, though — just a wall-mounted body wash (no separate shampoo or conditioner) — but for the price, it was still excellent. The staff at reception were so kind and helpful. We asked for a hair dryer and they brought one right away. There’s also a refillable water station between the rooms with both hot and cold water, which was really convenient. We liked the outdoor seating area too and they kindly ask that smokers sit outside with doors and windows closed — which keeps everything fresh inside. We took a Grab to Tengah Beach in the evening — it was quick and cheap both ways. The only small thing to note is that there aren’t many shops within walking distance, but taxis and Grab rides are very affordable. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again! Thanks TC Garden Resort 🪴🫶🏼

Best Star Resort is the best place to have a beach view from your room, enjoy breakfast in the cool morning breeze of the sea, night life is also very thrilling and the food and nearby places adds value to your stay..I was thrilled to stay in Langkawi. My family is happy with the stay here and hope that you too will love it.

For a budget hotel, it's not bad. We stayed at Malibest before this, and we liked this hotel more. At the very least, the towels were clean. We stayed in bungalows by the sea, which was very convenient, only a 3-minute walk to the beach. We were lucky with the weather, and there weren't many people, so jet skis weren't zipping around much. We could swim peacefully, and the mornings were absolutely perfect. The shower in the room was very inconvenient, and there was no safe, but everything else was fine. Breakfasts were okay, but very repetitive. Every morning, a sparrow would eat the peanut butter, and no one chased it away. Housekeeping was daily, and the view from the rooftop was beautiful, but no one ate lunch or dinner there while we were around, so we didn't either. We only went for breakfast.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute gem – the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in Baba Boutique House Langkawi is, without exaggeration, the best hotel I have ever stayed in. From the moment I stepped in, it didn’t feel like a hotel — it felt like a warm, stylish home that genuinely cares about its guests. The lobby itself is amazing: beautifully designed, cosy, and full of life. There’s a pool table, board games, and plenty of comfortable seating areas where you can just relax, chill, and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to hang out instead of rushing back to your room. One of my favourite highlights has to be the three adorable resident cats 🐱. Every morning when I stepped out of my room and every time I came back from my outings, they were there — playful, calm, and an absolute joy to be around. It added such a personal, homely touch to the entire stay. Another huge plus: all drinks at the bar are complimentary, and breakfast is complimentary too — something you rarely see, and it makes the stay feel incredibly generous and thoughtful. But what truly sets Baba Boutique House apart is the staff. Their service is nothing short of impeccable. Every single staff member made me feel genuinely warm and welcome, not in a forced way, but in a sincere, caring manner. They anticipated my needs, checked in to make sure I was comfortable, and went the extra mile to ensure my stay was perfect. If you’re looking for a place in Langkawi that feels personal, welcoming, relaxing, and truly special — this is it. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to stay here again, and I’ll be recommending Baba Boutique House Langkawi to everyone I know.

Amazing stay. Hotel has everything you need, including a prayer mat for Muslim guests, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. The view is absolutely beautiful, really on the sea. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options. Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
