    Nothing. Property was beyond expectation.

    Beautifully presented room with freestanding bath, spacious and comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent and they recommended several points of interest in Malacca which was helpful. Drinking water was provided and refilled. Great to have a coffee machine and Netflix. Location is right next to Jonker Street and a local mosque so can hear call to prayer which was nice. Lots of halal food options close by.

    nothing. everything's perfect! oh. only one thing - if there's a discount / voucher for carpark, it will be awesome. (for the weekend rate at Carpark Kg Hulu, it was RM 30 per night & and u have to wait for the available spot)

    this place is superb & beyond my expectations! yes, there were mosquitoes, but the host has prepared the repellent inside-out. we ended up cancelling most of our plans just so we can have more time to stay in - it was that great! the host is very friendly as well :)

    Some mosquitoes around outdoor shower and toilet area, as to be expected.

    Perfect location. Right next to Jonker St. market/China town and close to local cafes, bars, massage, and historical red square. Comfortable bed. Very clean. The outdoor shower was very nice.

    No bedroom slippers is provided and I don’t feel so good having bare foot on the carpet.

    The location is fantastic but what’s come with such location is the noise from vehicles on the main road nearby, especially after midnight. It didn’t bother me much but my companion had hard time falling asleep on first night. I also like the view from the window of the bathroom area. The alley below is clean and looks serene.

    My friend and I have really enjoyed our stay at this charming guesthouse. Especially loved our room with semi open balcony. The bathtub was really cute and the flowers and plants around the windows were highlight of our morning wake up! Owner was very nice, showed us all rooms with different designs, and how they made. Also very quiet even it is in the center of everything. I will come back for sure!

    Our first-floor room at The Opposite Place had a real vibe. Loved the decor, the atypical arty feel, and the greenery views from the six windows! It’s perfectly located in the center of Melaka, making it ideal for exploring the old town. Great communication with Winnie, and Joy was very helpful.

    The toilet position, and the plant which was hanging there maybe need to relocated to avoid the dropping of leaves into the basin.

    The facilities so unique, the atmosphere staying there was wonderful.

    I would like to suggest adding a few additional facilities such as an iron, ironing board, and toiletries bag in the rooms. I believe these would further enhance the comfort and convenience of your guests.

    It was not only very clean and well-maintained, but also beautifully designed with a cozy and aesthetic atmosphere. It made my stay all the more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail.

    Nothing much to dislike

    Love the heritage vibe and environment especially in the king suite room. Convenient fridge in the hall for some beers and wine. Very near to Jonker street and riverside. Location is fabulous, there’s a 2 minute walk open space car park. Don’t really have to bother much about parking since Jonker is very Jam. Will definitely come back here, our host Winnie is very kind and friendly too!
