A truly unique experience! Highly recommended for travelers who are looking for a laid-back and relaxing type of lodging experience! They have a balcony where you could just lay down, have a drink, and watch the world go by. Don't expect 5-star facilities (which is not impt to me anyway) but you can certainly expect a 5-star experience and a... More

Good things Peaceful location Terrace to sit out on English speaking owner called in twice during our 4 night stay Not so good things Rather smelly at times, though we did get used to it Very basic accomodation for the price we were paying Various people seemed to turn up to use the shower and toilet, who we had no...

We love the place and it is kept exceptionally authentic. The home itself is famous because it is a site for one of the mural paintings famous on the island. The owner is friendly and information on what to see and eat is provided free of charge. Basic necessities provided and rooms come with air-conditioner. Hot water heater, shampoo, shower... More

We only stayed for one night but we loved it here. The jetty area was very picturesque. The home itself was great; the rooms were very nice, complete with drinking water, fan, double bed, wifi, maps, and even lonely planet info for the area... there was also a table in the kitchen set up with lots more information - some...

The good: Staying at the historic jetty, Ms Chew was very helpful and sweet, and the rooms and bed were clean and comfortable. I wanted to like this place, I really did... The bad: The bathroom. Its a squatty potty which is OK, I don't need a western toilet, however I had a hard time seeing all waste just dropping... More

My wife and I have stayed here twice now and loved it each time. The location is perfect and if you enjoy taking photos you'll be very busy here! The sunrise from the Jetty is simply breathtaking. The owners of the house are wonderfully friendly, and Siew Pheng (the very attractive daughter) was exceptionally helpful at all times. We were... More

Breakfast is pretty basic: toast that you make yourself, jam, and self-prepared instant coffee. Bathroom is VERY basic; others have described it. The room is, on the hand, very comfortable, assuming you don't mind a very firm mattress, with air conditioner and fan, adequate storage space, and quite clean. If you need other bed covers or an extra pillow, just... More

Staying at Chew Jetty is like staying at your grandma's house! If your grandma lived in the historic jetty area. It's an interesting combination of the very prosaic (elderly aunties and uncles sitting outside their houses), the touristy (amateur photographers coming down the jetties every morning) and the beautiful (the mist over the sea in the morning). It's also somewhere... More

This place has very good reviews, which it deserves. One thing to bear in mind is the accommodation really is quite basic. Small rooms, and for me the bathroom situation wasnt very appealing. But if you are ok with that, then it is certainly an alternative option.
