The Gemalai Village

THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU!!! Unless you're someone who loves sleeping under nature's songs... Crickets sing whole night long, but not being too loud - just pleasantly nice. I genuinely enjoy it. The room has air conditioning so it's properly sealed but don't leave your doors open in the afternoon otherwise you'll get bugs entering and disturbing you at night. For those seeking to "go back to basics", this is a gem. Wake up to lush green paddy fields (call them to enquire first if it's paddy season). Love it!

Can't go wrong with staying here. Location couldn't be better. View is beautiful, room is very comfortable and air-conditioned, plus we have a residential bull!! The people running this place are so lovely, I'm so glad we found this joint. Would recommend

The Gemalai Village provides flawless service and all the necessary facilities for visitors.Stay connected with your associates, as complimentary Wi-Fi is available during your entire visit.

Room is big and takes a long time to cool down esp during the day. It’s not far from the beach and food but it can get very hot during the day so make sure you take your umbrella! There’s no block out curtains in room. It’s a small establishment and housekeeping is as what you need.. so be sure to ask. No issue with mosquitoes. Town is quite dead though so don’t expect so much…

What a great place to stay and unwind. I woke up to the sight of buffalo, the sound of singing birds, and blooming morning flowers. It’s a beautiful reminder that the simple life is still peaceful and amazing. 😉

Only really saw it when taking photos of the Buffalo in the paddy fields that surround the accommodation.Looks idyllic close to all other amenities.

A very beautiful environment, ideal for spending time in nature. Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds and the cool morning breeze is truly soothing to the mind. However, if you plan to stay here, it's essential to bring mosquito spray or cream, as the surrounding trees and paddy fields result in a mosquito problem. Due to its location by the roadside, there is significant noise from vehicles, which might disturb the sleep of some people. Renting a car or bike is highly recommended to make your stay more convenient.

Room Review: If you’re a light sleeper, this definitely isn’t the place for you as you can hear the traffic, dogs barking, people talking and, in the morning, the mosque call to prayer. The bed is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever laid on! I could feel the springs in my back. The pillows are also really hard. No sleep whatsoever! There were no mosquitos, but there were plenty of other insects and spiders, especially in the bathroom during the night. Rating: 1/5 Bathroom: Definitely needs a bit of a face light (See photos) Rating: 2/5 Service/Communication: They didn’t respond to messages I sent through Agoda. Rating: 1/5 Additional Comment: At night, it would definitely help if they added some lights. Considering all of the above, I don’t recommend you stay at The Gemalai Village.
