Bagus Bay Homestay

I was quite disappointed with my stay at Bagus Bay Homestay. The room I was given was not at all like the one shown in the pictures online. It was poorly maintained, and the toilet was very dirty. To make matters worse, the bathroom was shared, which was not made clear during booking. The staff, especially one of the girls, seemed indifferent to my concerns and didn't show much care for the guests. While the owner was more approachable, he dismissed my complaints by saying that it’s a cheap hotel, which felt dismissive and unprofessional. The issues I raised were about basic cleanliness and honesty in their listings, not about the price. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you are prepared for a very different experience from what’s advertised.

easy access by boat from pelabuhan tiga raja, good homestay for solo traveller

Very nice and attentive staff. A large green area with its own entrance to the lake, with board games and active games in the air. Good European food. Good internet in common areas. A wonderful place for a relaxing holiday alone with nature.

The guesthouse area is expansive with green, lush garden by the lake. It has a beautiful lakefront where you can enjoy the sunset. This is such an underrated place and good value for money.

This quaint little homestay/guesthouse was ideally rustic with a very chilled manner. The lady who appeared to be in charge, her name was Nita, and was exceptionally helpful and spoke perfect English. She led her team well and was so helpful. The food was standard and priced accordingly. The rooms were better than basic (we had a first floor Deluxe Room with balcony over looking the lake with attached bathroom) with clean sheets, towels and hot water showers (the hot water are solar based so best to shower around 4pm). Would we stay here again? For sure. The location was very convenient with loads of little restaurants around. We managed to secure one of the four parking lots, so that was good. We booked a speedboat for one day and went to a really cool waterfall followed by lunch in an eco-village on the lake shore.

This place was ok to stay a few days. The rooms are fine but one power point to charge only, no fan and no cleaning in 3 days but maybe I had to ask. Also you must ask for towels. Wifi is in the restaurant only. You can walk down to the lake for a swim and sunbake which is nice. The restaurant food is quite nice and the staff are friendly. Anyway as it's cheap it's good for the budget traveller and the location is good right near the ferry drop off.

We had such a Nice stay here. The staff was really friendly and always ready to help, especially the guy Bacon from the reception, he was really nice! They had a lot of nice food too in their restaurant.
