The accommodations was just cool, my room on the 1st floor was an antique, the place is very airy so a fan room is just fine, the staff is always friendly and around although they may seem somewhat chilled out which actually gives this place it's character. The location of the hostel is also pretty central to the sights and... More

Sama Sama is a unique hostel with such a peaceful ambiance. It's open and airy, with an internal courtyard featuring what was once probably a fountain, with lethargic cat that lazes around half interested in the goldfish. We stayed in a double room upstairs, which was very basic but charming with wooden floorboards, antique furniture, large windows and a mosquito... More

We arrived late in Melaka and checked into the first place we saw for one night. We walked into sama-sama and asked for a room and the man led us to voyage guest house so I assume they are owned by the same person. We stayed in a fan double room for 40 ringgit. The room was an oven right... More

In the 14-bed dormitory were an awful lot of bedbugs... It was a bad night... And an itchy morning... The bathrooms are poor as well... Wouldn't recommend this place at all... There are better places in town...

This is not a guest house for Flashpackers, Culturephobes or anyone expecting a chocolate on their pillow each morning. I have travelled extensively in Asia over the last 3 years, and found the 'manager' John to be one of the sweetest most endearing people I have met along the way. He is in charge of running Sama Sama. His approach... More

Hello . I sayed at Sama- Sama Guesthouse and got bitten badly by bed bugs. Another guest at the same night also got bitten badly. They used a heat gun which is used to strip paint off walls to try and get rid of the bugs on the mattress, which is useless!!!! I cannot recommend anyone stay there.

I have had an rather unpleasant experience at this guesthouse. I booked to stay in the Voyage Home guesthouse (MUCH NICER!!!!!!!!) but when I arrived, they did not have my booking. The reason they didn't have my booking is because they shut down their cafe for Chinese New Year and weren't checking the internet to log their confirmed reservations. They... More

I just came back from malacca this afternoon and stayed in this guest house for one night. This guesthouse lies right in the Chinatown area, very easy to find and there is a lot to see nearby. The guest house is in an old chinese-style two level building. There is a small garden in the center, surrounded by the wooden... More

We would totally agree with all the ratings, friendly staff, cozy and nice place. But unfortunately we had to discover after a few hours in bed that a lot of bedbugs were sharing it with us. So currently not the best place to stay.
