      Great place to stay”

      Really friendly guest family, great location in the jungle, open minded guests

      My friend and I had perfect holidays at the butterfly guest house. At the beginning we had just booked for 6 nights but we liked it that much that we stayed one week longer. The guest house is surrounded by a beautiful nature. It's the perfect place for relaxing and calming down in the holidays. i liked most that the location of the guest house is in the jungle so you could watch monkeys and hornbills and other animals. In addition to this the guest family was really open hearded and very friendly. They picked us up and drop us off the airport. I also think that you can't find anywhere else so many friendly people on one place. We had so many interesting one reaction with other guests and the host family. We also layer one night sing star with the kids of the host family which was realy nice. The kids were really cute and interested. In resume we had really great holidays and would recommend everyone this guest house who would likes nature and good conversations. Thanks for everything. :-)

      A wonderful Family , House in a beautiful Garden, Like at home

      The Butterfly Guesthouse is a wonderful Place...Beeing away from the "fancy", loud and supertouristic places of Langkawi, like cenang beach, it is close to the locals,a good location to explore the island with a scooter, which is a must on langkawi (very easy going traffic)and stay a few days...the longhouse dormitory is a wonderful place to sleep on the first floor of the house, with a view until the ocean...you won't find a fairer priced stay in langkawi...

      best value resort in the area ”

      the hosts, clean, quiet, away from the buzzing noise,the best value for money

      When I arrived late at night the host was out there greeted me with the warmest welcome. I was offered to have some of their home cooked food (for free) - delicious. In Langkawi Island you really need a car or a scooter (or pay the expensive taxi for every trip) if you want to see the Island and this is no matter where you stay. The host was so friendly and helpful he took me to the airport to exchange some ringgit and hire a car. I cannot thank him more for this. Breakfast is included with pancake, eggs, toast coffee and tea. The place is basic which sits well if you are on a tight budget. It is clean and surrounded by a nice bush and garden herbs, very quite. To me it's a very unique place. I initially booked for 1 night but ended up staying 5 days here. For this price I get more than I paid for really. Thanks to Butterfly for makings trip to Langkawi a very memorable one.

      Peacefull place”

      Located in Kuala Periang this guest house is far from the touristic places BUT they rent scooters 35MR / day so you can go wherever you want by yourself. The house is in the middle of the forest so it is very calm and quiet. There are some local restaurants at walking distance. You can use a large terrace with a kitchen if you want to cook your own food. You sleep on confortables matress on the floor with a net and fans. The family is very nice. I recommend if you want a wild and peacefull place!

      Breakfast with Monkeys”

      Really lovely home stay. The staff always smiling, polite and helpful. A taxi to to the hostel cost about 35RM and its about half an hours drive from the ferry port, but once you get there you can rent scooters and save yourself a lot of money getting around Langkawi. Anyway, every morning when we woke up we'd see families of wild monkeys roaming around! Definitely recommend this place for nature lovers.

      The location was semi-forested with possible monkeys roaming in the early morning. Has a very kampong feeling. If you like a more natural housing location this is it. The location was not easily accessible and there was prayer in the middle of the night from the neighbouring housing not sure if it is due to Hari Raya Haji period.

Fresh homemade pancakes, bananas and eggs in the morning with tea and coffee. Near the cable car and seven wells waterfall. This place was perfect.

      If your taxi can find it, you’re in for an experience ”

      Basic, a little rustic, but full of charm. You’re out practically in the jungle. You’ll likely see monkeys out the windows and the sounds at night can be intoxicating or unnerving. Depends on your tolerance to such. There’s no A/C but the fans will keep you comfortable. The mattress is descent with a mosquito net. If people are visiting in the common area, you’ll hear every word. Walls are thin. The breakfast is simple but filling. This place is recommended if you want the experience, not the comforts of a villa. It’s good if you’re an early riser because among the 6:00 am rooster, geese, and chanter from the nearby mosque saying morning prayers over loud speakers, you will likely wake up then anyway. The family is very nice & helpful. You can rent scooters on premises. Now that I’m gone, I actually kinda miss the place.

      The staff and the people stay here very friendly. Great place for people that prefer nature more than fancy. Located "in the middle of jungle" and have such fantastic views with villages vibes. The location pretty far from the tourists spots. The breakfast also taste good. Meet alot of friends from another country. I would say that this place like hotels with "5 stars people". The best part is like people from different cultures and backgrounds just hang out with each other since there are no enterment here.

      I stayed for a week, location is further from the hubbub but so many nice locals and such good hawker food in walking distance, the dorms are clean and open planned with plenty of outdoor areas to relax, the surrounding jungle provided a relaxing theme tune to the place. The family are so so lovely and accommodative. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone who wants an alternative, authentic experience to the well trod tourist path.

      Cheap but FAR from the beaches”

      Met cool people, cheap

      First the disadvantages: no where near the beach! If you can't rent a car or ride a motorcycle, you are gonna have to pay for taxis to take you around for 25RM or more. Right now they have a baby which doesn't sleep well through the night and morning so we kept waking up because of the crying. It's really rustic, but has cheap pricing. If you don't mind staying far from the beach and getting around via your own transportation or cab, it's a good place to stay. But if you want a more convenient location stay near the main beach area.

      Excellent”

      If you want stay outside the tourism path, with friendly People surrounded by nature, then this accomodation is a big experience and it is only a 10 min trip to the Harbour, where the ferry to Koh Lipe starts.

      Beautiful family homestay”

      This is a family owned sanctuary in a garden in the jungle. A sacred place for the soul to get well surrounded by nature and beautiful children.

      In the middle of nowhere”

      Quiet, staff, people

      Location is inconvenient as you are far away from everything except the cable car. No great restaurants, shops or convenience stores nearby. Rooms downstairs are loud and hot with no bug nets. Upstairs is better with more of a breeze and bug nets. Owners are really sweet and accommodating however their small children can be a raquet.

      The best stay ever in Langkawi”

      If you love to chat with other people while relaxing in a tropical area then this is just your place. However own transport especially scooter is very much needed as this place is quite far from the main road. The toilet is clean and has hot shower. You can leave your bags no worries. But you must call the owner first because when peak season ( I went there during LIMA 17) they are often overbooked and you might have to sleep in a tent. Overall this place is fun and relaxing.
