Love it!
I really enjoyed the time staying at My Chew Jetty. It felt like home to me. The host and her papa were the reasons for me to go back to Penang soon

Awesome experience. The family is very helpful and nice. Just reduced some stars for cleanliness since we found a dead lizard on a glass during breakfast. Otherwise a unique and great experience.

Nedlagt hotell
När vi kom fram och till sist hittade platsen så var hotellet nedlagt. Enligt personer som bodde bredvid var det nu en teater istället

Something different!
Good homestay in special place on jetty. Owners are really helpful! Help u with everything u need know. Really nice terrace to look sea/peoples on jetty.
Amazing homestay. Such an exotic, heart-warming and special experience. I loved the family so much. They took care of us all the time making sure if there is anything we need starting from cold water to fresh fruits. We will definatly coming back!
완벽한 시설의 숙소는 아니지만 제티 한가운데 있고 바다위에있는? 테라스 의자에 거의 누워서 일출 일몰을 감상할수있어요. 무엇보다 여긴 가족이운영하는 게스트하우스인데 주로 어르신들이 관리하셔요. 정말 친절하시고 과일도 계속깎아주시구 ㅋㅋ 찬물 계속주시구 테라스가면 하나도안더운데두 선풍기 가져와서 틀어주시구 가세요. 마음따뜻한 경험이었구 중국계 말레이시아 가족의 전형적인 모습을 보실수 있는 아주 좋은 기회에요. 모든 일정을 이곳에서 하시기보다 여기에선 하루나 이틀정도를 추천드려요. 꼭 방문하세요.. 평점 좋은데는 다 이유가 있습니덩 ㅠ

friendly host
That's a very beautiful and relaxable place. The house hosts are very friendly. They provide everything and every informations you need. The building is built over the sea. You can hear the sound of the waves when sleeping.

Experience
Good experience but not for everyone and a bit expensive for the value.
Owner is very kind though.
La seule location (à ma connaissance) sur pilotis dans cette endroit historique (habité par la communauté chinoise). Ce n'est pas un hotel mais plutôt une chambre chez l'habitant. L'endroit est vraiment spécial, il est visité par les touristes mais vous vous aurez le privilège de prendre un café le matin face au soleil levant. A essayer. Les chambres sont très propres, tout est mis à disposition, et tout est fait pour vous mettre à l'aise, vous vous sentez comme part de la famille. L'emplacement est plutôt pratique en arrivant par Ferry de Butterworths mais également pour aller à la chasse aux street Arts.
