Absolutely amazing stay at The Best Homestay!
The room was superb—exactly like the photos, if not better. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and the amenities were incredibly professional, making the whole experience feel truly premium.
The location is perfect, with plenty of great food options just a short walk away. It’s an ideal place for families wanting to relax and enjoy their time in Johor Bahru. The facilities are complete and very family-friendly.
Definitely coming back again! Highly recommended for anyone traveling with family to JB.
Staying here with my family for two nights. The unit is clean, and it's suitable for our needs, which can fit many people. Good location and good service. Thanks to the owner, we really had a great experience staying here. 😆😆
Great place to stay in R&F, it is an apartment or in SG we call it as Condo. I stay in studio. Downstair can access to partial open shopping mall which is good enough. 13 Mar just opened the Cinema. There is supermarket open till 10pm, the food there is reasonable affordable. This studio have 7KG washer which is good for me to wash my clothes, only need to find way to dry the clothes. 15min walk to CIQ with bridge or along the KTMB train path. Overall, it is a good place to stay. I will definitely come back again. Great for work from JB-SG or for retirement.
Positive feedback:
*Unit 4105 was generally well maintained and clean.
*Was concerned that the unit may have cigarette smoke smell since smoking is allowed, but am thankful we didn’t find any malodour issues with it. *In terms of housekeeping, response from the team was quick - when I requested for additional floor mats and when I mistakenly enquired about provision of bath towels.
*We could get pretty nice views from the unit and the location is convenient to walk to the financial hub, food eateries/restaurants, KK Mart, beach, etc2. Opportunities for improvement:
*Had to follow-up and ask for check in info, which was sent just before 2.00pm on day of check in.
*Check in was delayed until about 4.30pm; was made to wait, follow up and chase, with reason given that property was fully booked the day before and there were too many units to clean!
*Check out time was revised from 12.00pm to 11.00am, but notification was sent through whatsapp at 9.20am on check out day, which I was not aware of until about 11.09am when I check my messages. (Note: But pic agreed when I said we will check out at 12pm since we check in late and they informed us late about the change of timing.)

The basic facilities are all there (but there is no toothbrush), and the cleanliness is good. However, from 8pm to the rainy time, no one delivers the takeaway. The main reason is that Tuas Link is a bit far, and it is still a bit tiring to go there from SG

The location is a bit far from the mall but it has a bridge connecting to it. The mall has a lot of restaurants and convenience store. The room was so clean and well maintained. Provides slippers (beware the slippers sole is not rubberized. Easy to slip and fall) and toothbrush and small bottle of water is also provided. Though only 1 tissue roll in each toilet. There's only1 cons in the room, the aircon at the living room keeps turning off which is a bit hassle.

For the amount that I am paying, is it more than fantastic! The homestay ambiance gives you a vibe of a pre-independence house in Malaya while providing various of amenities including a pool table. Hat’s off to the owner for having a nice property. If you are an easily-scared kind off person, I am not recommending it for you. But other than that, all I can say is I am absolutely repeating my stay in the future !
( p/s : even thought the bar is not operating , that area is great spot for a insta worthy photos :D )

GGuest UserWe reached the hotel at about 11.30pm from Songapore on 8/4. Upon reaching, we asked the security guard about the booking procedure. He does not know anything about it. He showed that there are boxes to collect the keys from near the laundry room. However, there were no instructions or information of password or room number to collect the keys. I tried to call the hotline and the internet phone but neither was successful in my attend. It was already past midnite. We were tored after the 11/2 hour of jam at the Causeway. We decided to search for another room at the agoda.com and found something for us to spend the night at Grand Landmark Hotel. It costed us $62 SGD. We stayed there until noon and decided to go back to the KSL Premier Residence. I checked my email and saw the instruction to the room coming in at 5.53am which is about 5hours from the time we alerted them via the apps. We went back before noon to the KSL Residence and checked in. Place is nice but we felt shortchanged and ill treated with this hiccups. We would like to ask for a refund for the first day and that Trip.com should pay for our sstay at Grand Landmark Hotel on 8-9 April for goodwill. It is not easy to move around with 2 msmall children. I hope your side exercise compassion and understanding for the negative experience we felt. w
We felt shortchanged and I
XXinjie OOWe stayed in that 2-bedroom seaview apartment at R&F Homestay in Johor. The view was pretty nice, but honestly, the pictures online were a little misleading – the apartment wasn't exactly like what they sent to me.
The apartment itself was good. However, we had a few issues. One of the bedroom lights was busted, and when we messaged about it, crickets. Zero response.
Also, the mop was broken – seriously, it was falling apart. Cleaning with a toddler is already a mission, and having to hunch over with a broken mop made it even worse. Because I had to clean up every day!
Overall, it was a decent enough place to stay, but those little things really added up. We'd probably stay at R&F again, but definitely not in the same apartment. They need to sort out their maintenance and communication!
JJOYTOTHEWORLD❤️We had a fantastic stay at Mosaic South Key! The accommodation was spacious and spotless, making our experience very comfortable. Louis, the guy from management, was incredibly helpful and friendly. We’re already looking forward to returning in January!

DDatin Sri Nor HarlinaLocation is very good. Quick respond and clear instruction from the person incharge. Private lift. Big room n clean. So happy to chose this apartment.
GGuest UserAir cond at living room was defective. Unbearable during these few days when weather was so hot. Ended up we had to check out earlier to soak ourselves in air cond malls. Heater at common bathroom was also not functioning properly. Water was still hot even though the dial of instant heater was set to “off”. We had to turn on both shower heads/taps to mix the hot and cold water ourselves. No hand soap was provided even though Covid taught us to be mindful of hygiene
GGuest UserHotel stay was good. Room was good as this is not the first time i stay there. Previously was directly under shama booking.
This round book under trip. Did not get any email from 3rd partty on his how to access to my room and the number provided by trip was wrong too. I was being scold by the person too.
I think trip will owe an explanation on this on what happening regarding the wrong number given as well as booking from trip how come Agoda have the details.
I have taken screenshot on trip and the number provided was wrong the other number cannot get through.(Refer to the photo for sceenshoot)
3rd party mention this.

[13/03, 22:56] +60 16-624 8422: We suggest you to directly contact with trip.com because we received your booking from Agoda channel instead of trip.com. For us as host, is confusing too because we didn't receive any of your information. We called agoda many times but they said already sent you an email and so on, we also waiting for them to give your contact number to us but nothing
[13/03, 22:57] +60 16-624 8422: We provide correct number to agoda as it is our official nunber, im not sure why it wrong when it comes to trip. Com

YyshahaThe overall experience was good but there were a few hiccups. First off, the customer service wasn't exactly on point. Since it’s a self check-in setup, I expected them to reach out with the check-in details, but nope, nothing. I had to chase them down myself on the day of the staycation. Sent a message, but the response was slow, ended up having to call them directly. Even then, the check-in instructions didn’t come right away, despite them saying they’d send it over quickly. I had to follow up again before they finally sent it over. It was honestly a bit of a hassle. Second off, the cleanliness was a total letdown. The living room had sunflower seeds all over likely the leftovers from whoever stayed before. It’s definitely a hygiene issue. However, the rest of the place was actually pretty decent. The bedroom was cozy and the bathroom was spotless. Plus, the location was super convenient and the overall vibe of the place was really nice once you settled in. It definitely had potential to be great if the small stuff like customer service and cleanliness got sorted out.
