Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The room is spacious..the interior decoration brightens up the lights at night. the important thing is that the price is relatively cheap compared to others.

    I went to Perhentian with a friend for a one night stay and it was worth it! For anyone who plans to come here but has a small budget, AB guesthouse is definitely the right choice. Although they offer the cheapest prices, their facilities are complete, high speed unifi, hot and cold water filters for drinks, and the rooms are well maintained and clean. The owner and his staff provide the best service. They gave us a souvenir bag for memories..We really enjoyed our stay and will recommend this to our friends and family

    Great little place. The reviews don't do it justice. Solo female traveller, I felt safe and it was clean and easy. **you get a free dive with every night you stay. It doesn't say it on booking.com but totally worth it for the price. Cheapest dive and accomodation combo I've ever had.

    Overall experience was good. Nice place to hang. This is budget resort cannot expect 5 star facilities. Sea view room was awesome. Got balcony to hang out and clean. Provide basic toiletaries and towel. Staff was super nice. Eventhough they dont have enough worker but they try hard to fasilitate the need of guest. Nice view and cheap.
