Everyone in the hostel got along well and it was really nice having the bar attached to it. The only bad things were that it often ran out of toilet paper, the beds were super squeaky and it is quite a distance from the open air market. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 23 May 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### MuhammadHidayat, Kulim, KLM 25 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Boleh la didiami tapi tandas kerap tak flush terutama oleh penginap mat saleh ##### MuhammadHidayat Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was a very pleasant stay indeed.

However, you may want to know some little details: there is no towels unless you pay. Shared bathrooms, no handtowels. No safetybox! There was no staff members available at all times. If you have bad knees, notice that there is lot of stairs and no elevator. Smoking is possible inside the smoking area in the living room. All in all, we had a nice stay there! No cockroaches or ants, that is always ++. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Elisabet 22 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Trivsamt. Kanske inte tipptopp rum, men det vinner i längden. Gemensamt kök o badrum, men inte många gäster så det blir aldrig kö. Otroligt bra stab som hjälper till med allt. Lugnt, sköna sängar, nära till det mesta. Mycket för pengarna. ##### Elisabet ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom, Melbourne, Australia 10 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Inviting hostel, perfect for backpackers Great location, lots of delicious cafes and restaurants near by offering vegetarian and meat options!

Der eigene Anspruch ist es nicht den Aufenthalt des Gastes, sondern seinen gesamten Urlaub besser zu machen und dabei zu helfen, wo es nur möglich ist. D.h. Guidetrips buchen, von diversen Touren rund um Kuching erzählen, uvm. Sehr sehr cool. Familiär und hatte alles (und noch mehr) was wir brauchten. Dank geht raus an Ben, Nick und Flo :) ##### Felix ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 10 Mar 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice and cute guesthouse/hostel Pro: Nice experience due to the lovely atmosphere. The owners made a real effort to make it a nice place (for instance flowers in the room + toilet). Felt like home. Also the place has a nice home-cinema with plenty of recent movies. Also has a nice collection of books. Furthermore the toilets are nice. Con: The place is not sufficiently clean. We were bitten by many insects in our room, which made our experience less than comfortable. However when we told the owners about it action was taken and we got a new room. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Mollie 17 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort ##### Mollie ### 8/10 Good #### Mollie 5 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Mollie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica 5 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay in Kuching! I can't say enough nice things about the place and the service! My room was just like it looks in the photos. Clean and quiet and I had everything I needed! The guesthouse is in a great location, minutes away from the waterfront and shopping, restaurants, massages, etc. But best of all was the service. Ben and Andy were great, super helpful, they helped me booked day trips, called the airline for when my luggage was lost on arrival, lent me a travel adapter as mine wasn't working, and were overall super welcoming and nice. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Monica ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 9 Sept 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Das Zimmer war sehr hellhörig.
