    Nice place to learn about history of Langkawi. It's well made but people need to be considerate about throwing rubbish all over, one can see bottles, wrappers etc strewn around. Another thing that the authorities need to tackle is cigarette smoking in the compound. People should stop smoking and behave like civilized citizens. Otherwise it's a good place to visit and learn some history and listen to traditional music being played live.

    A must visit for those who love history and culture. You can learn the history of Mahsuri & Langkawi island. A beautiful place, I love the beautiful traditional architecture of the houses and the traditional music performance.

    Langkawi! For those who love history this is one of the place you shouldn’t skipped. I visited there on weekdays and also weekend. On weekdays no queue at all. Please expect more people will be coming on the weekend. To be honest, not much changed since I visit there 5-6 years ago. A bit boring. Authorities should work on something to attract the visitors.

    A must visit at Langkawi. Please watch the Mahsuri theater. On point performance by all the actors and actresses. Superb acting. Informative legendary stuff. Must try the kuih karas, etc. Worth the visit.

    Interesting place to visit. Get to know more about the Mahsuri history. Unfortunately yesterday we ran out of time so we didn't get a chance to discover more. I'm telling you, One hour is not enough okay 🤣 Definitely will come back again. A lot of spot to take picture.

    A good experience learning about Mahsuri's history. But sadly the place was a bit dirty and some places are not well maintained. Maybe due to MCO.

    Environment is clean, it was a great place to recall the story of Mahsuri. But I would prefer the management can arrange their staff to explain the story, artefacts discovered, and other buildings around. It’s still a nice place to hang around to learn Langkawi history and some Malays culture.

    Kota Mahsuri is one of the attractions in Langkawi. It is a historic place. This area has a car park. There is a gamelan performance. It's best to come early. Here there are also stalls selling souvenirs.

  • 5/5 Siti Nuraina J. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place to go during Friday they will have a mini theatre. You will be welcomed by the girls playing caklempong. Your ticket can be used as a voucher discount inside but only for certain items and one shop. I went there during a hot day in the morning so it was a bit uncomfortable. But Don't worry they sell ice cream too 😄

    It was overall a good experience. Love the story of Mahsuri. 5 star for Pak Ku Ahmad for the storytelling and the only person who actually entertained us 😅. I think the place needs to do better. Lack of activities to do for the price.

    Pretty much expected. Clean and nice environment. Historical land. Beautiful ❤️

  • 3/5 CHELLE Y. 7 months ago on Google
    It’s nice to have more things on display as I feel there are not much infos about history. Feel that the twelve ringgit I spend is not worth it. Plus they collect toilet fees(only in Malaysia).

  • 3/5 Suzanne T. 10 months ago on Google
    The arrangement of the segments is way off. The Mahsuri Museum should have come first instead of the end. The signages were not clear, and staff also were not helpful. The Mahsuri Museum was hidden by the toilet signages that made me think that was just the toilet

  • 2/5 Chris F. 1 year ago on Google
    Neglected museum with very few exhibits open and no staff available to play the videos or explain anything. The gardens are nice but not worth the extra have fee without the other exhibits being improved. Disappointing.

    A must see place even if you’re not remotely interested in the history of Langkawi. The story of legendary Mahsuri is beautifully told here complete with the telaga, costume, etc. i enjoyed it.

  • 4/5 Helme Athrah J. 9 months ago on Google
    Exciting site to learn about 'Mahsuri', the Legend of Langkawi. The surrounding area is a life like typical Malay village of yesteryears, with traditional Malay houses, architectures, etc. Entrance fee is RM17 for adult. Kindly support for the maintenance and improvement of this historical site.

  • 4/5 Noor A. 1 year ago on Google
    An iconic place to visit in regards to the legendary story of Mahsuri and her curse. You can visit her tomb, view many old stuff such as weaponry, clothing, etc with explanations. Some buildings replicating the houses of people during Mahsuri's time also available on site

  • 4/5 Alia A. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place to learn about history of the legend of Langkawi, Mahsuri. With a fee RM12, your presence welcome by a group of Malay culture like gamelan, congkak, the replica of Kedah Kampung house, the local kuih with how to make it on spot. You will feel like you are living in that era, traditional time while you here. Plus, its in front of paddy field so, you will see a great green scenery. Very natural and calming.
