Guesthouse familiale. Acceuil chaleureux, nourriture excellente. Je recommande cet endroit avant tout à celles et ceux qui recherchent un endroit convivial, dans environnement calme et reposant. Ma chambre était simple, mais me convenait pour les quelques jours passés sur place.

It had a lot of bad reviews in here but I thought it could not be so bad, but unfortunately it was. The bathroom conditions were horrible and there were many insects such as spiders in the room. The whole property seems to not have been taken care for years. Also when you get to the place the real name of the hotel is Empire which sounds a bit suspicious to have a different name from the listing here. I certainly would recommend any other place in the island.

Loved the location and the beach. Very disappointed with level of cleanliness. Some of the rooms we had (had 4 in total) had no toilet paper another had no rubbish bin in and was scattered wity rubbish on bathroom floor under the sink. Another had no towels.

Nice location at the end of the beach. One of the best sites there. This part of beach is without boat traffic and with basic snorkeling possibilities. Rooms/cottages are well maintained, clean, most of them really large. Everything works (a/c, fan, hot water). Unfortunately the "garden" area is quite full of mess. Some better care would help. It doesn't look like 'luxurious resort' but it is not as bad choice as some reviews say.

This property is in a prime location on a quiet beach on Besar Island. The staff are friendly. I stayed in a dorm which is very basic. Has AC and fan, towel was provided. The shower and toilets are outdoors so there will be bugs, naturally. There are frogs in the toilet stalls so be aware if you are afraid of frogs. No hot water but not really needed in that weather. It was very peaceful there as there weren’t too many guests. It’s the lowest rate I could find, which provided the basics needed during my stay at Perhentian Island.

I had read the bad reviews, but I consider myself a seasoned traveller SEAsia-wise, and a backpacker with pretty low standards. This place still managed to shock me. There is just no excuse for the moldy mattresses in the dorms, the years-old dust collecting around the walls. It's just plain dirty. Maybe the non-dorm rooms are nicer?? The owners were very nice, but I don't understand how they can let their rooms get so filthy. Sorry. If you're a backpacker, watch out here.

Bad management, no facilities. People are not polite, they don’t have anything there. It’s a complete fake place. I was the only person who was staying there with my family! Management charged 10 ringgit every day as a tax! Expedia didn’t mention about that. I moved to the new place- they didn’t ask for this tax. This place seriously considers how to treat the traveller and how to manage the people and their convenience. I paid quite a bit of money:) ~650 AUD for 8 nights!!! I didn’t get any refunds. Expedia is saying - eco Marine is not refunding the money. Eco marine is saying Expedia is taking all the money. You guys stop blaming each other. It’s a trap to stay this place through Expedia. Expedia shouldn’t recommend to stay anyone there. Even they put a 4/5 recommendation through Expedia in front of their reception! I didn't want to ruin my holidays...so I decided to move somewhere else. Book at Florabay, Semudra...they are nice and cheap. Good friendly staff. Eat at Ocean beach boyz...
