We have stayed at AA homestay for 4 nights, it’s kinda like a home in the rainforest. Room is spotlessly clean and offer free hot water to make coffee. And they will offer food in meal time. The location is a bonus, only 5 mins walk to the entrance of park. Besides, the bottle water and food price are lower than the grocery store in Mulu park.

Merdeka Guest House 2

Kuching

Offering garden views, Merdeka Guest House 2 is an accommodation situated in Kuching, 5.5 km from Sarawak Stadium and 10 km from Borneo Convention Centre Kuching. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host is just from another world. I arrived late (around 22h30) and even though he likes to wake up at 4h30, we kept talking for about half an hour. Then, he goes: "do you want me to show you around?" >> he went on giving me a guided kuching tour in his car. He even wanted to buy me a drink but no shops were open at midnight. Besides this, he would leave traditional sweets for breakfast every day. Legend!!

Mulu Tribal Homestay

Mulu

Featuring a garden, Mulu Tribal Homestay is set in Mulu in the Sarawak region, 1.4 km from Gunung Mulu National Park. The homestay features family rooms.

Guests at the homestay can enjoy an Asian breakfast. Very friendly and heartwarming homestay. Highly recommended. The host family was very nice, the home made food was superb, and rooms clean. The house and the host family are building an atmosphere of home after the trips to the national park. The location is quite central in regards of the remote Mulu. 20 min on foot to the entrance of the national park and less than 2 min on foot to the airport (no, you do not hear planes at night, as there are no flights scheduled). Water, snacks and coffee is included. Meals are safe made and are offered for a fair price as well as cold refreshments. They have an own jetty, where you can be dropped of from the national park guides, when coming back from the tours. No "warm" showers (not necessary, as the outside temperature is mostly above 25 °C). Water is clean 😊
