I truelly believe that you can’t find any better place to stay than at the Asma. The bed is very comfortable, you have a nice shower and a balcony. What made the experience unique for us was definitely the host. Aziz and Liya helped us for EVERYTHING. It is a true blessing to have found such exceptional host for the perhentian as you have to organize a lot of things from transfer to activities, everything was taken care by the staff. It is so resting for us as vacationers to not to worry about airport transfer etc. Above that, all the activities were so fun and exciting. We saw sharks, turtles, corals… For having stayed in many many places all around the world, it is the first time that we are so sad to leave a place… Thanks again Aziz and Liya for everything and we will sure come back

Was worried looking at the bad reviews before going, but turns out everything is great and exceeds my expectations! 1. They do provide filtered drinking water, LOVE THAT. 2. For those who worry it would be hot, THERE IS A/C IN THE ROOM (yayyy!!! it runs from 7pm to 7am during my stay. And there are a lot of fans. 3. For those who worry it would be noisy at night, it wasn’t that noisy really (well at least during my stay. The guesthouse itself and the restaurants next door were quiet at night, only the restaurants at some short distance away were blasting music at an acceptable volume. 4. Perfect location at the Long Beach, come out and you can see the sunrise. Can sit and lie down on the balcony overlooking the beach and people playing volleyball. 5. Despite stating electricity only runs 12 hours from 7pm to 7am, I noticed there was electricity in the afternoon when I came back to rest (A/C off tho in the morning and afternoon)

Helpful and friendly staff! perfect for an off grid stay. Loved the hammock. A little hot at night if on top bunk but fans are in the room! Right on the beach and great dive centre next door with flexible times for dives. Lovely bar and restaurant next door with great food.

the accommodation was good and clean, u won’t stay inside a lot apart from sleeping, most of the time u’ll be on the beach or diving. The Quiver dive instructor were simply amazing, a special thanks to Yola, Greg, Brett and Abi, they made my experience even better. I really recommend this Dive Center if u fo to Perhentian Kecil

    Best hostel in Perhentian for sure. Beds are comfy, staff are so nice, the communal areas are great. Water pressure in the toilet is amazing, there’s a place to hang wet clothes. Free breakfast until 10.30 and it’s off a menu!

    Great little place. The reviews don't do it justice. Solo female traveller, I felt safe and it was clean and easy. **you get a free dive with every night you stay. It doesn't say it on booking.com but totally worth it for the price. Cheapest dive and accomodation combo I've ever had.
