Amazing owner/manager. We never met in person but they were always answering WhatsApp in one second. (Thank you for everything!) The room was very clean and nice. Cleaning and new towels possible every day. Some cosmetics in the bathroom. A bit small room but for few nights it was ok. Great WiFi and perfect location.

I would definitely recommend this wonderful homestay in Mulu! It was a warm welcome from James, who grew up in this remote place. Authentic doesn't get any more authentic, I think. He explained to us all the things you can do and what to bring for a perfect experience. With Brenda we had a wonderful tour of the large caves and she gives us all the information about the animals we saw along the way. In the evening they showed us a documentary on a big screen about the history of Mulu and the struggle between the locals and the palm oil industry. It was very interesting! Thank you James and Brenda for our stay and the nice experience in this remote place. We will always remember it! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

So calm, beautiful area at rhe foot of the mountain and just in the village (there are 3 cafes and 2 v little shops for some basic bits). We did the wetlands cruise with John at the jetty in town and it was a must! 15.min walk or the staff will drive you. Also got a lift to damai beach where there are some more food places and shops and the cultural centre $20 entrance for that. Pool is great. You can borrow bikes to explore the area. Note the sea in this area is not for swimming as mangroves/crocs! Can go down the road to Damai easily enough...

Although it was a bit further out from Kuching city the peaceful surrounding and essentially private beach was great. As long as you have a car there’s no issues getting around this area of Borneo. It’s a great concept as well!

Cafe was very good and well priced. Great view. Careful with mosquitoes. Best to wear long pants in that area. Liked all the walkways and natural pool was refreshing. The ocean beaches great and no crocs. We saw lots of monkeys and some birds and butterflies in the jungle by our cabin.

There are 3 different pools (Toddler, kids and adult). My son enjoys the water play area and beach very much. The sunset in the evening is superb. There is a fire dance show on Thursday which is so amazing.
