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.

Guest review
Hands down the Best hostel where I have been! The common area was super nice and comfortable, the kitchen was very nice and had free water/coffee/tea available for the guests. Free breakfast was soo good you had 2 options to choose from. Everything was super clean and you just feel like at home. Then to the best part THE BED ohmy it was the best bed I have been sleeping in Malaysia so far. I was in 8ppl dorm room. You get 2 fluffy pillows and a blanket and the mattress is just perfect. The beds are wide and with a curtain. And then the STAFF. Wenesa my dear hosted us a wanton night so we made them together and ate together. Just had the best time here with a bunch of lovely people. I couldn’t recommend it more. It made Ipoh special for me thank you so much for all the staff❤️
