The accommodation is basic but it is clean, safe, comfortable amd excellent value for money. The location is ideal - 20 metres from the beach and just around the corner from the night market and the main strip of Batu Ferringhi but set back enough that you don't get all the noise from the main streeet. Baba and the staff are lovely and very friendly. I stayed there during the earthquake and they kept us well-informed and up to date. I would defintely stay there again.

性价比非常高的一家青旅,还有个厨房可以自己煮东西吃,超棒!Wi-Fi信号要是再给力一点就更好了。总体评价三星半。

We really loved to stay in Baba guesthouse! Location is perfect, and it is surraunded whit restaurants. There was many backpackers or just people on their holiday. The atmosphere was relaxed. Staff was really helpfull and nice. If we're coming in Malaysia again, you can bet we are staying in Baba's!

Simple and a bit "rough" rooms, but in all a nice place with a wonderful staff. The only downside is that the walls are very thin and the sound of neighbors at Baba Guesthouse and, more importantly, the neighboring mosque all sound as if they were right in your room. Mostly no big deal, but I got woken up at 6am by the mosque more than once...

Good location and friendly staff. Could use some minor, inexpensive touch-ups.
