Exceptional hospitality, genuine slice of rural Langkawi, warm and welcoming hosts.
Stayed 4 nights at Lisdtari, Khalid and Lis made us feel so at home. A lot of thought has gone into the small but incredibly cozy and functional unit in the garden of their home. The bed was comfortable and plenty big enough for 2 (probably slightly larger than a UK double) the unit has a fan and Aircon as well as a beautiful en suite open air bathroom that is separable from the bedroom. It's the perfect spot to decompress and rest. The ambient sounds from their small farm and surrounding forrest are serene, as a city boy I never thought I'd get used to farm animal sounds in the morning, but the environment has a tranquil aura about it that made me feel entirely at peace.
Special note has to go to Khalid's coffee and Lis' cooking - breakfast is provided and was unbelievably tasty every time, they even got up early on the morning we were departing to make sure we were fed ahead of our trip, and to see us off. We did a cooking class with Lis who taught us to make Nasi Lemak completely from scratch, virtually every ingredient was sourced from her garden - anything else from local markets. It was one of the most flavourful things I've ever eaten.
Location was brilliant for us - Tanjang Rhu beach was the best on the island and is

The farm's location in the jungle, away from the hustle and bustle, provided a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Being surrounded by nature and the variety of animals—dogs, cats, chickens, butterflies, and more—added to the charm and tranquility of the experience.
Lis and Khalid's kindness and hospitality were exceptional. They graciously gave us a tour of their farm and shared their knowledge about permaculture and their garden cultivation practices, which was both educational and inspiring.
Our accommodation was immaculate, cozy, and comfortable. The bed felt like a cloud, ensuring restful nights, and the outdoor shower was simply dreamy, allowing us to connect with nature even more.

Everything was perfect. The guesthouse is located next to the main villa, surrounded by nature, with a little stream flowing through the garden. Lis and Khalid are such wonderful hosts—super welcoming and always ready with great recommendations on places to visit and experiences worth our time. On top of that, we could rent a scooter directly from them, which was incredibly convenient.
The place truly feels magical. The lush vegetation around the property is breathtaking, and we spotted so many birds, including a couple of hornbills. Even some monkeys greeted us every morning! They also have three super friendly dogs who occasionally joined us on walks around the farm, making the experience even more special.
And we can’t forget to mention the breakfast and coffee—absolutely delicious! It was the perfect way to start each morning.
