I was staying elsewhere and came by around 9:30am to check this place out. I looked at one of the A-Frames for 50 Ringitt and said I would be back in an hour. Unfortunately, when I came back 45 minutes later, the guy I had spoken to had already forgotten me and had given it away. It took me a... More

Been here twice - first in the air-cond room, and the 2nd time in the bungalows (too bad not the ones facing the sea). It's all very basic, and thats okay if we gonna spend most of the day outdoors. The restaurant is a nice touch and enabled us to get dinner while catching the Movie of The Nite! Can... More

The guy at reception was very very chilled out when we arrived, I think we might have disturbed him from sleeping beside the reception desk. We checked into an a/c room which was basic but it was clean. We then moved to a cheaper fan room which was very basic. I thought it was a little expensive for how basic... More

I have done quite a lot of travelling over the years, staying in all sorts of accomodation both cheap and more expensive and I have to say this is one of the worst places I have ever stayed. I went to the Perhentians with two friends and were recommended Matahari by the people who we got the boat over with.... More

One and only the good thing of this chalet is that it located at the middle of the beach. It is quite a distance from the beach, if compared to other chalet on the long beach and there is a dirty and smelly pond beside the walkway. The rooms view is not nice enough as it is quite far from... More

After more than an hour walking the length of the beach to find a vacancy during Raya, we settled in a Matahari chalet without air con. During the day, it appeared to reflect its price tag and it seemed suitable (Kecil is notoriously overpriced compared to other Malaysian islands). However, as night came, the absence of lighting in the bathroom,... More

The disgusting swamp of stagnant water that guards the entrance to this group of tired-looking wooden chalets is an appropriate metaphor for the level of service you can hope to receive while staying at Matahari. We stayed in two rooms here over a week-long period (in neither of which the toilet worked). After bed bug problems in our first room... More

I've been there with my friend from Kuala Lumpur. It's a long journey and we arrived at this chalet early in the morning. Nice view,its not a 5 star resort or hotel and is really suitable for bagpacker's. Well, can say this is the nice place to stay and value for money.I personally think it was the best of all... More

We arrived in Pulau Kecil without reservation and chose Matahari Chalet, we got an AC room with hot shower. It was clean and simple for RM150 a night. We did not use the AC but the fan was enough at night. Wifi did not work when we arrived but it was later fix. We did not have electricity during the... More
