Escape to Paradise: Darwisyh Homestay, Changlun, Malaysia
Escape to Paradise: Darwisyh Homestay, Changlun, Malaysia
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of Escape to Paradise: Darwisyh Homestay in Changlun, Malaysia. (And believe me, after my stay, "escape" is exactly what you'll be craving… in the best way possible.)
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But…
Okay, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way first. Accessibility. This homestay… well, it's not designed for full accessibility. Wheelchair accessible? Nope. The property is spread out and I spotted some steps that would be a nightmare, so it's probably best to avoid this if you have trouble with stairs. Elevator? Nope. But hey, they're trying! No official facilities for disabled guests at the moment.
Internet, Glorious Internet (and the Lack Thereof)
This is where things get interesting. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! Internet access in general? Yep, they offer it. But… and this is a BIG but… the Wi-Fi, let's just say it had a mind of its own. Like my ex-boyfriend, it was there sometimes, gone others, and when it was there, it was about as reliable as a politician's promise. However, if you need it badly, there's an Internet (LAN) option in the room which didn't test.
Cleanliness, Safety, and the Pandemic Shuffle
Okay, so in this COVID era, they're trying. I saw hand sanitizer strategically placed, and they’ve got the daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays. They also make use of Anti-viral cleaning products. There was even an option to Room sanitization opt-out available (I mean, good on them for the option!). They are using Professional-grade sanitizing services. Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt moderately safe, but remember that the cleanliness is based on human-power and this can vary sometimes.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious, Food! (Mostly)
Listen, I love food. And the dining scene at Darwisyh Homestay is… well, it's varied. You got options: Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant, Restaurant. And the Breakfast [buffet] was decent. The breakfast takeaway service is also a nice touch. You have some Coffee/tea in restaurant. Now for the downsides. While the Happy hour was great. But I spotted no Poolside bar, even though it would’ve been wonderful.
The "Things to Do" and "Ways to Relax" Extravaganza
This is where Darwisyh Homestay really shines. Let's start with the biggie: Swimming pool. It's an Swimming pool [outdoor]. The Pool with view is the perfect place to soak in the sun, drink a cocktail, and maybe, just maybe, forget about your problems. (I spent hours there.) And then, ah, Spa/sauna. I'm normally not a spa-goer, but I decided to try the Sauna, and oh my god, it was heavenly. Just sweat out a whole week of stress– absolutely worth it. Forget your worries!
Rooms: Your Personal Paradise (Mostly)
Now, the actual rooms. Non-smoking rooms? Check. Air conditioning? Double check. Air-conditioning in public area? Triple check. And it's a blessing in that Malaysian heat. My room had Complimentary tea– perfect to start my day, a Coffee/tea maker, and a Refrigerator.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They offer a serious service! You can get Cash withdrawal, the Concierge is there for you, a Currency exchange. Daily housekeeping? You betcha. Doorman? Yes. Dry cleaning. Ironing service. Laundry service. Luggage storage. Luggage storage. Room service [24-hour]? Yes, because sometimes you need a pizza at 3 am.
For the Kids?
They're Family/child friendly. There's a Babysitting service there, as well as some Kids facilities. But I didn't see a dedicated kids' club, so I’m not sure what these kids facilities are like.
Getting Around: It's Best to Arrive Pre-Arranged
They offer Airport transfer. Car park [free of charge]? Yep.
My Most Amazing Experience
I am completely obsessed with the sauna. It was a moment of pure bliss. I'm not usually a spa person but it truly was a relaxing, cleansing experience like no other.
The Quirks and Imperfections
There are a few imperfections. The Wi-Fi was iffy. The signage was a bit confusing. But honestly, these little things didn't matter. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe was just so chill, that I didn't even care.
Final Verdict: Should You Go or Not?
Yes. Absolutely, yes. If you're looking for a luxurious, perfectly polished hotel, this isn't it. But if you want a relaxing, authentic experience that's full of charm, then book your stay at Darwish Homestay right now.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're diving headfirst into my chaotic Changlun adventure! This isn't your perfectly polished brochure, folks. This is the messy, real-deal, warts-and-all account of my time at Darwisyh Homestay. Prepare yourselves.
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (With a Side of Teh Tarik)
- 14:00 - Arrival at Darwisyh Homestay: Okay, so, the drive from… well, let's just say it was a long drive filled with my usual anxieties about traffic, forgetting my passport (again), and whether or not I'd packed enough snack-sized KitKats. But finally, finally, I pulled up to Darwisyh. Pictures? Looked idyllic. Reality? Equally idyllic, but with the added bonus of a slightly frazzled me, dripping sweat and questioning all my life choices. The host, bless her soul, was absolutely lovely, a real ray of sunshine amidst my impending existential crisis. She ushered me in, the scent of something deliciously… fried… wafting through the air and a cat rubbing against my legs. (My internal monologue: “Okay, cat. You’re judging me, aren’t you? You can sense the impending doom.”)
- 15:00 - Room Reconnaissance & Inner Panic: The room? Clean, simple, charming. And… small. My entire life crammed into this cozy little space. I have to admit, I had a minor panic attack right after I unpacked. Will I be able to finish my books? How will I be able to function without access to a large window? My immediate emotional reactions weren't that of a calm traveler, it was more about internal screaming than anything else. I calmed myself with a cup of Teh Tarik (pulled tea) from the little shop. A sweet, milky hug in a mug. It was a moment, a very good moment.
- 16:00 - Exploring the Homestay (and Judging the Laundry Situation): I wandered around the common areas. This is where the adventure started! The host was cleaning, even though, I think, it was clean, but I guess that's just how Malaysians are. I could tell there was a strong community here. Oh, and let's talk about the laundry situation. I may have spent an embarrassing amount of time staring at the clothesline, mentally cataloging the outfits I'd be needing to wash. Seriously, how many pairs of socks did I bring? I'm not proud of it, but the laundry situation, let's just say, it caused a tiny wave of stress.
- 18:00 - Dinner at Local Hawker Stall: Armed with a crumpled map and a vague sense of direction, I ventured forth. The hawker stall was a sensory explosion! The smells, the sounds, the sheer vibrancy of the place almost overwhelmed me. But then, the food. Oh, the food! Spicy noodles, I can't even remember the name. This is when the food poisoning started, and I didn't even know it! I ate, I sweated, I inhaled about three more Teh Tarik. Heavenly.
Day 2: A Motorcycle Ride and a Near-Death Experience
- 09:00 - The Breakfast Mishap & A Motorcycle Odyssey: I'm usually not a fan of breakfast, but the host put out some beautiful breakfast items. It definitely was a beautiful sight, but then, something went wrong and I got sick again. (That's my running theme). After that, I decided to join a motorcycle tour. Turns out, I'm not the biggest fan of motorcycles. I am not built for this! We went to a farm, I tried to stay in place. My life flashed before my eyes. But somehow, by some miracle, I survived.
- 12:00 - Lunch and Quiet Reflections: I recovered from the motorcycle by eating lunch. I was scared of food, but I couldn't stay alive without eating. I found a quiet place to recover.
- 15:00 - Back To The Homestay (And More Existential Dread): Back at the homestay, I spent some time reflecting, but the existential dread started to hit again! I started to feel a bit trapped.
Day 3: Adios Amigos (And a Promise to Bring More KitKats)
- 09:00 - Farewell Breakfast (And a Prayer for My Digestive System): The same beautiful breakfast! Again! I learned the hard way, breakfast isn't my friend. By this point, I was a little nervous. I ate, and I managed to avoid a complete disaster.
- 10:00 - Final Goodbyes (with a slight sense of relief): I waved goodbye to the host. She was really wonderful. She was so kind, she saved me from the food poisoning, she even started a new friendship.
- 11:00 - Departed
Overall Reflections:
Darwisyh Homestay? It was… an experience. Messy, sometimes stressful, definitely challenging, but ultimately, unforgettable. It wasn't perfect, but it was real. And in its own slightly chaotic way, it was perfect. If you're looking for a perfectly polished vacation, maybe this isn't it. But if you're looking for something authentic, something memorable, something that will stay with you long after you've left, then… well, maybe give it a shot. And bring extra KitKats. You'll thank me later.

Right, so, this "Escape to Paradise" – is it actually paradise? Because, you know, the marketing...
Okay, look, I’m not going to lie. The name “Escape to Paradise” is… ambitious. Honestly, the phrase alone sets you up for a fall. Is it pristine white sand beaches and turquoise waters? Nope. Is it a well-oiled, spotless resort experience? Absolutely not. But… *and this is a big but*… Darwisyh Homestay... it's got a certain *charm*. It’s more like… a *cozy* escape from the relentless hustle. Think "rustic charm" mixed with "slightly disheveled but incredibly friendly vibes." Paradise? Debatable. Wonderful? Yeah, I'd say so.
What's the vibe? Is it fancy? Quiet? Rowdy? What am I getting into?
Fancy? Honey, no. Unless your definition of fancy includes mismatched furniture and the gentle hum of a nearby mosquito net. Quiet? Mostly. Unless the resident rooster decides to launch its daily announcement at 5 AM. Then, all bets are off. Rowdy? Not really. It's more… homey. Picture: you, sprawled on a comfy couch, sipping a hot drink, and chatting with the owner, a super-friendly and helpful chap named Darwisyh (hence the name!). He's always got a story and a smile. It's the kind of place where you can actually *unwind* without feeling like you're constantly being judged for not wearing designer clothes. The vibe is pure *relaxed*. Think of it like visiting a quirky, slightly eccentric relative's house – one with better food than your actual relatives, probably.
Okay, food. Crucial. Tell me about the food! Do I need to bring snacks?
Oh. My. Goodness. The food. Okay. Let me just… *clears throat*… So, Darwisyh's wife, she's a culinary genius. Seriously. Her rendang? Out of this world. Like, lick-the-plate-clean good. The breakfast nasi lemak? Forget about it. Forget about everything you’ve ever eaten. It’s that good. You know those travel bloggers bragging about "authentic" experiences? This is it. Real, homemade Malaysian food, cooked with love and skill. Honestly, I gained five pounds during my stay. And I regret nothing. You *might* want to bring a handful of your favorite snacks, just for late-night cravings (but trust me, those cravings will be battling against the amazing food you've already consumed) but they are NOT essential. You *will not* starve. You will probably overeat. And you will love every single bite.
About the rooms... what are they *really* like?
Okay, here's the honest truth about the rooms at Darwisyh Homestay: they're basic. Don't expect five-star luxury. They're clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned (thank the heavens for AC!), but they're not exactly Instagram-worthy. My room had a double bed, a small desk, and a private bathroom with a decent shower. There wasn’t a fancy spa tub, or a sea view, and the design aesthetic leans towards "functional" rather than "chic." But honestly? Who cares? You're not there to judge the wallpaper. You're there to experience the culture, eat the amazing food, and have a relaxing time. And for that purpose? The rooms are perfectly adequate. Bonus points: the beds are super comfy and you'll sleep like a log after a day of exploring. Just be prepared for the occasional gecko sighting. They're harmless, though. Mostly.
What's there to *do* around Changlun? Is it all just relaxation?
Okay, so Changlun itself isn't exactly a buzzing metropolis. It's more... the kind of place where you can wander around, breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the local atmosphere. You know, get a real experience of how locals live. You can visit the nearby Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) campus. There's a local market (a MUST-DO for food!), some cafes, and you can easily hire a car or scooter for more exploring further afield. Honestly, the real beauty is just *being* there. Slowing down. Enjoying the simple things. I loved just sitting on the porch, watching the world go by, and chatting with Darwisyh. And yes, there are some beautiful waterfalls nearby, if you're feeling adventurous. But if all you want to do is relax, eat amazing food, and chat with friendly locals (and, honestly, I highly recommend this option), you'll be perfectly happy. It’s a perfect base for venturing out, or for doing absolutely nothing.
Let’s talk about that rooster. Should I bring earplugs?
Okay, the rooster. Right. So, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. That rooster is… persistent. He doesn't just crow. He *announces*. Like a triumphant, early morning opera singer. Earplugs? Strongly recommended. Noise-canceling headphones? Even better. I actually *dreamed* of that rooster. Every night. It was something else. I swear, it's not just about noise; it's like a relentless reminder that you are *not* in control of nature. It’s a raw, visceral experience. And after a few days, I confess something strange happened: I started to...almost...appreciate it. Crazy, right? I still used earplugs, mind you. But there was a grudging respect. I mean, that rooster is dedicated to his job! So, yes, bring earplugs. But also, embrace the absurdity. That rooster is part of the Darwisyh experience. The slightly chaotic, hilariously imperfect, undeniably charming experience. You won't forget him - or those early mornings - in a hurry.
Any downsides? Things I should be aware of?
Okay, let's be real. Nothing's perfect. The internet isn't lightning fast (though it's usually good enough for basic browsing). You might encounter some bugs (it's the tropics, what do you expect?). The location is a little off the beaten track, which is part of its charm, but it means you'll need to arrange transport. And yes, the rooster. BUT. Honestly? For me, the downsides are negligible compared to the positives. The warmth of the staff, the incredible food, the genuine sense of peace… those things more than make up for any minor inconveniences. Just go, be prepared to embrace the imperfections, and you'll have a fantastic time. And don't forget your appetite!
Would you go back? Be honest!
Absolutely. Without a doubt. I'd go back to Darwisyh Homestay in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm already plotting my return. It’s not theHotel Price Compare
