Straddling the Asian mainland and the island of Borneo, Malaysia is a wonderful jumble of multiculturalism, wildlife-rich jungles and vibrant cities.
Among Malaysia’s urban hotspots is its culturally diverse capital Kuala Lumpur (‘KL’ to locals), home to the iconic Petronas Towers, mammoth shopping malls and nightlife of the Golden Triangle. George Town, capital city of the island of Penang, is widely renowned as the food capital of Malaysia. Delicious street-food treats include grilled satay skewers, Chinese congee (rice porridge) and otak otak (steamed fish curry).
This part of Southeast Asia is ideal for picturesque wildlife wanders wand watersports. Some of the best scuba diving spots and powdery soft beaches can be found around the islands of the East Coast peninsular. You can also hike through some of the oldest rainforests in the world and take up whitewater rafting within one of the country’s many national parks.
Whether you’re looking to camp in Malaysia’s national parks or stay with the locals in a homestay, you’ll find accommodation to suit your needs. Main cities and beach resorts also offer a wide selection of hotels, hostels and guest houses.

I absolutely loved this hostel. It was clean and the dorm rooms are very spacious. The staff are super welcoming and so friendly. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. They provide information of the area on the boards in the breakfast room but they are always happy to help/offer tips.

AMAZING!
It was the best guesthouse while our Trip through Malaysia :) The Captain and his wife we're so friendly - we had good talks and good food too! The Captain invited us to a cultur Dinner and a nice evening. Unfortunally we stayed only for one night, but it was the best night wich we could have asked for!
Even Lip's dream came true and they organized him a durian Fruit. Sooo kind!
The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Our bed was very good and soft. We slept very well. The Captain's wife (Mommy) helped us to get a taxi to the Airport. We want to come back again as soon as possible! We loved it so much!
Kind regards Sa and Lip 🙋🏼♀️🇩🇪
