    Wi-fi was not very good, but it's not a bad from the owner, but the issue of the whole village

    It was a nice pleasure to be guests of Diana! She was helping us from the very first of our steps in Mulu till departure. Answering all the questions, transport to and from the park, making for us tasty breakfast. The house is not a luxury property, but it contains all the necessities for travelers.

    The bathroom needed some shampoo which was not provided.

    The food was really good and so was the hospitality. Everyone was very friendly including the host and any concern I had was promptly addressed. I thought the food was the best part.

    The Homestay is still in the making & that you can’t see in the photos. However it also represents the poverty of this area where people still have a very basic happy life. Transport & communication is definitely a problem & needs improvement. Diana is working on it 😀

    Diana‘s Homestay is a nice little family business & everyone is very caring & friendly. Great for a solo traveler to meet likeminded people & having a great chat. I felt safe & the food was absolutely delicious. Drinks were very reasonable priced.

    Except for one day, there was no water in the head shower even during the hours where the electric was on (aprox 6pm to 6am), so one had to shower filling up a bucket with the regular tap, and water was cold. It was Ok though for 2 days and it was part of the experience of living like the locals, in a very simple way.

    Diana was very welcoming, helpful, and cooked the most tasty and abundant meals I've had in a while.

    it would be great if they had somewhere to sit outside near the river. any negative reviews about Diana can only be about false expectations of a Homestay. This was exactly as we expected and very chilled. there is some building work now until may 2023 (they say) but really it didn’t disturb as stopped by 5pm.

    great location on (swimmable) river bend. it is a Homestay… and Diana is brilliant. home cooked food is superb. Desmond is a park guide and recommend his tours.

    There was no electricity one night but Diana was helpful and gave us power banks. Sometimes the distance from NP was hard to walk in heat. But overall everything was very good

    There is river in front of the house. Very nice view from balcony and relaxing atmosphere. In the middle of nature. Very tasty food. Diana also offered drinks etc eith the same price like in minimart.

    Nothing really; we had realistic expectations about staying at a homestay.

    Our room was spacious and clean, and Diana is a great host and an excellent cook; if you're planning to spend the days at the park (which I assume most guests are) this is all you need. Overall, were very happy with our stay.

    Electric is only for a certain period of time as the place still rely on generator.

    Diana homestay is quite convenient as you can request for car shuttle service to/from airport and national park. Also you can dine in the homestay for lunch and dinner with a fee. Diana is also very welcoming and a good host to the guests.

    The house is a bit run down. Bathroom is praktically not working. A contrast to the friedlyness of the owner. Transport to and fro will be extra charged. But nevertheless a authentic place to stay in Mulu!

    Diana is a very friendly host. A good place to be a nearer to the people of Mulu. Interesting spot to see how the supply is done on the river. Good place to be just simple.

    We loved everything about Diana homestay. The peaceful slow life in the countryside with swimming in the river or just hanging out with the cats was restful. And then there was Diana’s cooking which is the best in the area bar none! highly recommend! Diana was also extremely helpful in sorting out trips to the park and picking us up even when it was late.
