Verdict
Swiss Cottage is a small beachfront guesthouse in Kampung Tekek, founded in the 1980s and run by a family. Tioman Dive Centre shares the site.
Check-in runs from 2 pm to 6 pm, so tell them when you will arrive, and check-out is by noon. Quiet time runs from 9 pm to 8 am.
The catch is the uncertainty and the terms. The website still shows a 2021 promotion and old flight information, and the newest dated guest review we found is from September 2025, although partners still take bookings. Direct bookings need a 50% non-refundable deposit.
Good for
Divers and budget travellers who want a simple room on the beach in the main village.
Not for
Anyone who wants a pool, a large resort or a refundable direct booking.
