The host was very kind, cooked dinner to my taste, and gave great tips for visiting Mulu. Thanks to their advice, I went to Deer Cave on the first day and saw the bat exodus before the weather turned bad. The room was comfortable with air conditioning — a very pleasant surprise!

Set within 10 km of Borneo Convention Centre Kuching and 15 km of Sarawak Stadium in Kuching, Seladah Stay provides accommodation with seating area. This guest house offers free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property offers soundproof units and is situated 37 km from Fort Margherita Kuching. We had a wonderful stay at Seladah Homestay. The property consists of two combined houses, making it quite spacious with a total of eight rooms (two rooms downstairs and the rest upstairs). It features an RFID door lock system and an automatic gate with a remote, so there’s no need to use a traditional key. We arrived late at night, but self-check-in was convenient, allowing us to settle in without waiting for the owner. The homestay also offers high-speed Wi-Fi, estimated at around 500 Mbps. Since all guests live under the same roof, you’ll have the opportunity to meet your housemates. Our rooms, located upstairs, were designed for two people and came with private bathrooms, which was very convenient. The living room has TVs available for use, and a washing machine is beneath the staircase. The parking area accommodates about three cars inside the compound and two additional cars outside. The owner was also very responsive to my inquiries. Thank you very much for a great experience! I will definitely return for my next stay. :)
