Company information

I like to travel around the world to know peoples of other cultures, I'm very particular about the cleanliness and hygiene of the places I stayed. It has been my dream to host a place for travelers to stay with cleanliness and hygiene in mind, low cost and specially presented with Malaysian hospitality. Lastly, I do hope my guests come as strangers and leave as friends!
