Villa Molek

A retreat from all the tourist traffic and crowds in Langkawi. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, markets, shops and rental car office A small older style Malaysian hotel with super attentive staff in a sheltered forest setting with an open air restaurant and a lovely small pool. Our unit was a one bedroom king with living room, small kitchenette and a large covered outdoor balcony.. Fantastic breakfast with cook to order omelets and European style breakfast buffet overlooking the courtyard. A wonderful alternative to the big tourist hotels on the island

Warm welcome on arrival and such a lovely room. Much bigger than the pics suggest and set around a great (and quiet) pool in a tropical garden. It really is like a huge apartment, massive comfortable bed, cosy sitting room, spacious kitchen area, great dressing room area near the bathroom and big terrace to sit and listen to tropical birdsong and see monkeys swinging through the trees. Such a change from big impersonal hotels, the staff are all really lovely and the breakfast is a real treat. You are a few minutes walk from the beach and a 10 -15 walk to the busy Penang strip. Plenty of eateries around both Western and Malaysian. We loved it.

It was a real gem of a place. It was so peaceful it had a lovely little swimming pool & the villas were absolutely brilliant. If you were lucky enough, you could live in them. A great breakfast in the morning buffet style. The villas are super clean and well equipped. The staff were so kind and helpful ☺️ it really was a little oasis. With bars and restaurants right on the doorstep if you didn't want to go out & explore

We booked the villa without much expectations except for its close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and convenience store. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality of Peter, his caring staff, and the six resident cats! The villa had a homely feeling. During our stay, we spend much time indoor due to the rain. However, everyone made us feel at home with their smiles and hospitality. The cats roam around the villa freely but if you are not a fan of one, they leave you alone. All in all, we would recommend this villa for anyone visiting Langkawi.

I ❤️ Villa Molek! So many things to tell you but I'll start with the welcome drinks. That's a... welcomed surprise, top class hospitality. The manager, Rosli, is soft spoken and professional. Let's get this straight. I'm not in anyway affiliated to VM, not paid to write this review. Paid for my own accommodation, in fact 2 villas. VM is built to resemble a Malay village set amongst the tropical trees, palms and bamboo so expect it to be rustic. Someone complained that the "location in front of the hotel is not very nice but this is usually the case". Please check out Malay villages and reassess your feedback. Nothing wrong with the front. There are steps as well as a ramp. It's a tidy gravel driveway. I hi-5 those giving 10 points, they get it. I concur with each and every review. I'll add that it's a home away from home but without having to lift a finger, just kick back and chill! In the villa itself the ambience, as some call it "vibe", is rustic. The wooden furniture, timber wall panel, and lovely four poster bed complete with mosquito netting, all tie in with the, I'm going to introduce a new concept to some of you, Kampung culture. I'm totally in love with it. None of the "brand new" plasticky, artificial things that so fill our lives (as someone mentioned the room facilities are old, well at least the furniture lasts). It's old world charm. A big plus, power sockets are dotted throughout the villa. Someone complained that the pool needs to be cleaned regularly. Well that happens when the pool is built near trees, so are just leaves, naturally doing their thing with gravity's help. Yet someone complained about the breakfast. I find it sufficient and coffee is good. I had poached eggs one morning and scramble eggs the next, thank you chef. I don't get those who leave a one word 1 point review.
