    Dirty hotel, the matress was very old and the room was very dirty. Seems that wasn't cleaned before the arrival. It's sad because it has the best spot on the beach. If the hotel changes and take care of the costumers it will be top but sadly, not now

    It had a lot of bad reviews in here but I thought it could not be so bad, but unfortunately it was. The bathroom conditions were horrible and there were many insects such as spiders in the room. The whole property seems to not have been taken care for years. Also when you get to the place the real name of the hotel is Empire which sounds a bit suspicious to have a different name from the listing here. I certainly would recommend any other place in the island.

    Loved the location and the beach. Very disappointed with level of cleanliness. Some of the rooms we had (had 4 in total) had no toilet paper another had no rubbish bin in and was scattered wity rubbish on bathroom floor under the sink. Another had no towels.

    Nice location at the end of the beach. One of the best sites there. This part of beach is without boat traffic and with basic snorkeling possibilities. Rooms/cottages are well maintained, clean, most of them really large. Everything works (a/c, fan, hot water). Unfortunately the "garden" area is quite full of mess. Some better care would help. It doesn't look like 'luxurious resort' but it is not as bad choice as some reviews say.

    This property is in a prime location on a quiet beach on Besar Island. The staff are friendly. I stayed in a dorm which is very basic. Has AC and fan, towel was provided. The shower and toilets are outdoors so there will be bugs, naturally. There are frogs in the toilet stalls so be aware if you are afraid of frogs. No hot water but not really needed in that weather. It was very peaceful there as there weren’t too many guests. It’s the lowest rate I could find, which provided the basics needed during my stay at Perhentian Island.

    I had read the bad reviews, but I consider myself a seasoned traveller SEAsia-wise, and a backpacker with pretty low standards. This place still managed to shock me. There is just no excuse for the moldy mattresses in the dorms, the years-old dust collecting around the walls. It's just plain dirty. Maybe the non-dorm rooms are nicer?? The owners were very nice, but I don't understand how they can let their rooms get so filthy. Sorry. If you're a backpacker, watch out here.
