Everything was perfect. I got upgraded to a double dorm bed with Seaview. It was very comfortable. The dorm also had AC. The view from the bed and living room was gorgeous! The main chill area is super comfy as well. All-day breakfast is a nice addition. Free drinking water and towels are provided. They had enough showers and toilets in separate cubicles. The location was in the city centre. Lots of information on tours and activities. In the evening, a lot of people came together to watch movies or chat. Spacious lockers in the dorms.

Normally I don’t rate a stay a 10/10 (I travel often), but this time AJ residence proved that they deserve the 10/10. Firstly, the communication was perfect, they responded very quickly and I felt very welcome with their messages. The room was comfortable and very clean, I mean very very clean and not a bit of dust! Amenities was great and nothing was missing. The staff was very kind and they make sure you feel home, that’s their motto. The location was great, lots of shops, eateries, malls, nightmarkets nearby. Thank you Vinah for your care!

Hosts were fantastic. When your friendly host is also the best trained guide in the region and can organise everything, you're in good hands.

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.
