It's quite good but Wi-Fi is not good. The room is nice. The pool is good but it looks smaller than the photo. Convenient location. No restaurant though.

The Goods and the Bads
The first impression: I was deceived by my booking site. The hotel is not on the beach. It is not on the same side of the street as the beach. It is not across the street. It's back a ways. However, the atmosphere of the hotel grounds is quite relaxing. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for. The room. Lighting is minimal, a/c doesn't come on until the card is inserted and it wasn't exactly inviting. Yet the bed was decent. The room had space. While the shower was not enclosed, the water did drain and the tiles on the floor dried quickly so there was no slipping a half an hour later. The site says daily housekeeping. Not for me. Every other day. Sheets were never changed (I could still see the dark spot and the two white paint spots), but they did sweep and tidy up on those days. The pool is nice. It has a relaxing atmosphere. If you're lucky, you, too, may end up with fresh coconut water by the pool. (right time, right place issue) Anyone who worked there while I was there was fabulous, incredibly helpful and friendly. Also, if you tour in the ocean on your check-out day and leave your luggage in the office, when you return they have a shower off the office you can use to clean off and change. Very nice to clean up!

Overrated
4 of us stay for 6 days at 2 queen-size room. It spacious enough to swallow 4 cabin size and 1 big size luggage and with a space to spare for light stretching. A balcony for 2 to enjoy hot coffee. Those are the only good things I could remember about the hotel. The location is perfect. Walking distance to eateries, duty-free shops, mall, and beach. For delicious local foods at local prices, 10 minutes walk toward Asiana Hotel, turn to the left, and just after the traffic light. Ask for "Peknga" with fish "Gulai Panas" The things I don't like about this hotel are the supply of tea kits, bottled water, and toiletry which happen every alternate day, stained toilet bowl, low-pressure shower and noisy a/c. I have asked a friendly staff to get a daily supply of bottled water to the room during our long stay but nothing she could do as it is the hotel policy. The hotel offers a water dispenser at the lobby and lucky for us that it is located just across the room. Pity for those who stay away from the lobby, hope there are other water dispensers located nearby too. Lack of hospitality here. I'm fine with the sustainability initiative but in the hotel business, hospitality demands attention too. Would not recommend this hotel to family and business traveler alike. There are plenty of new vibrant facilities to choose nearby. For the savvy traveler who needs a comfy bed to crash at night, perhaps this a good alternative. Overall, I found this hotel is overrated.

1)the location on the map that provided in trivago was wrong, when I'm there I realized some other hotel or chalet also not in the right location as the map shown us... I'm was looking for a chalet that close enough to the beach, information from trivago is 100m , but in the end is 500m. That location in the map really need to improve. 2) the room are full of sand, i need to mop the floor twice by myself

Location of the hotel was good, short walk from underwater world and beach. Walking distance to cenang mall and other food or shopping area. Reception was good and friendly. The pool is salt water and is closed quite early at 7pm. General cleanliness of the room is not great. Lights were dim, floor felt sandy even after room cleaning. The toilets wal and floors had stains as well. Water pressure not great. It's ok but for the price of the family room I think other newer options are far better.

Nicely set out hotel with rooms by the pool.close to the mai. Strip, but tucked away off the main drag. Lovely pool and garden area. Rooms are very dark, lack of good lighting seems common in Langkawi. Bathrooms are appalling and I desperate need of an upgrade. Cheap and cheerful hotel.

Beautiful pool and garden oasis!
Very friendly staff and lovely surroundings at this hotel! Just off the main drag, it gives a lovely escape from the sometimes very busy main st of Pantai Cenang. Rooms are being updated and all have air con which is a must in the heat. The pool in particular was a highlight - beautiful gardens surround it, giving the feel of a tropical oasis - very relaxing! Also super close to both Tengah and Cenang Beach and all the action. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent value; oasis from busy Pantai Cenang
We stayed at the White Lodge for four days during the December holidays. We found it excellent (note: my range of hotel stays in any given year ranges from rundown cabins to five-star hotels) - it was clean, comfortable, and our particular room was very quiet. The pool area is lovely and was nice respite from the busy 'strip' of Pantai Cenang.

budget hotel with nice private pool~
Didn't expect much with the price I paid for but surprisingly the hotel is pretty good and my parents enjoyed it. Since it was a free & easy family trip, so we do have time to swim in the private pool & it was well maintenance. There is no telephone in the room, if you have any request, you need to walk to the receptionist (don't worry, just 2 min walk from room). They refilled water & shampoo & clean the bed everyday. Overall experience is good.

Lovely hotel close to the beach
The staff were very nice and welcoming. The room was clean and comfy. There was no hot water In the showers but it wasn't much of an issue as it was hot and beautiful weather anyway. In a really good spot, on the main street near all the great food but far back enough to not keep you up all night. I'll definitely be coming back to Langkawi, and I won't think twice about staying in White Lodge.

Lovely hotel with central location
I was pleasantly surprised by the White Lodge - for the price I wasn't expecting such a nice place! The rooms are facing a lovely shady garden area with a pool which was big enough to actually swim in. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I used the laundry service the hotel offered for a very reasonable price - I got my laundry back the next day, as soft as it's never been before! The room was nice and big; the only minus was that the air con wasn't very cold, and it was quite noisy, but in combination with the ceiling fan it did the trick. It's about 10 minutes walk to Pantai Tengah, and restaurants and shops are close by. Would definitely stay there again!

Decent but not remarkable chalet
The room is decent and clean but not remarkable. It would be nicer if it had a swimming pool which was under construction during my time staying there. The only part I found disappointing was the fact that breakfast is not served there although for RM160/night, you would expect that. Overall it is a decent hotel to stay in.

It is a pleasant place with a very nice garden. Since we changed the rooms due to a late hour repair work, we can say that some rooms are in a better condition than others, but in general they are worth the money you spend on them. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We don't rate high the surroundings, bcs. the whole Pantai Cenang area is currently under a massive construction, which we didn't know until we got there.

The room was spacious and clean and we ejoyed it. The best thing for us was the garden, located in front of our room, where we had breakfast in the morning and drinks in the evening. The only negative thing was the mattres/bed, it kept making weird noice. Also the price was a bit high.

Simple stay with great service
Stayed for 3 days, 2 nights. The room was spacious and tidy. Beds were of a good size with clean bedding. Lights were a bit dim but acceptable. Amenities are simple but sufficient: hot running water, electric kettle with tea and coffee, small refridgerator. Don't expect much from the TV and wifi, though. But if you're in Langkawi, you should be spending more time on the beach and less time on your phone anyway ;) A free water refill station is available outside the reception area in case you need extra water. Reception area is located quite close to the rooms and any additional requests may be made there. It is located within walking distance of Pantai Cenang and various shops and eateries. The highlight of the White Lodge is the staff service. Everyone was very accommodating and friendly, ready to help with any queries/requests.

Feels like a home away from home :)
A very beautiful hotel, nice garden courtyard, surrounded by forest (one hotel nearby), and secluded. We went in late Sept/early Oct which is a down-time for tourism in Langkawi....possibly more insects/wildlife than usual there at the time? Overall a very nice hotel, highly recommended for someone on a budget wanting to be close to activities. Cons: -WiFi was spotty in our room (the grounds are quite big, so forgivable) -no Elevator (quite daunting to go to the 2nd floor (3rd for Canadians/Americans)) after a looooong day of activities -Each room has a separate, outdoor entrance so bugs and things are sometimes an issue at night :( -Only change the sheets if you ask Pros: -BEAUTIFUL rooms and garden and backdrop -Convenient location, close to everything and still secluded -New towels every day (sometimes in a swan :) -Spacious room with AC and ceiling fan -Private balcony and entrance -Great staff, very friendly -Really beautiful sink in the washroom :)

Very nice hotel. Yes you get what you pay for, but this hotel is designed to be simple. Going Langkawi, most likely you will spend most of your time exploring the island rather than staying at the hotel. It is comfortable, staff are lovely, free wifi in rooms.
