Featuring a garden and a terrace, Anis View Perhentian is situated in Pulau Perhentian Kecil. The rooms are fitted with a balcony.

The rooms in the guest house are fitted with a kettle. Every room includes a private bathroom.

Anis is very polite and sweet, the accomodation was also good but unfortunately it's on top of the mountain, going up and down was abit tiring but overall it was a comfortable stay, will definitely recommend it...

The proper is in a village where you can meet and play volleyball with locals. But, kinda far from the main beach tho you can get a water taxi for 10-15mins. The owner is very responsive to the messages, she reply really fast when you have questions. And, her mom is so sweet and nice.

    Close to the mosque and locals. Very very welcoming. The only criticism I can make is that there is no hot water but given the temperatures, you will quickly forget. A pleasure to have been able to pray at the mosque which is right by the sea. May Allah bless the premises of Perhentian Island ♥️

    The staffs are friendly. We book our boat to perhentian through them and got rm10 discount on each ride. The room is big. The bathroom is also big. A good place to stay with family. If you want to eat, you can walk to the fisherman village to eat. You can snorkel in front of the chalet. You can interact with locals here.

    Neat, hassle-free check-in, situated at one end of the fisherman’s village on Perhentian Kecil. Cheap options for local food nearby and the locals are very friendly.

    The stuff is very very friendly and helpful. The rooms are tidy and clean, equipped with ac and fans. The burgers are really yammi (especially the egg burgers!). Pulau Perhentian is in general overpriced but tuna bay seems to be the cheapest place around Pulau Perhentian (except for the fisher village where the locals live). You can go snorkeling at the beaches, or trecking through the jungle. It has a lot to offer, we would come again. Thanks a lot! :)
