Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … The location is superb and equally matched is the hospitality. Bidas, May & family treated us like their own. They showered us with kindness that we'll never forget. There was morning coffee and they made our stay in Kuching so memorable and fun!
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … Thanks for everything. It was nice staying here, and your hospitality has warmed in my heart. It was nice having dinner (local foods) with the whole family. You guys can go a long way! Best wishes!
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … This was the best place I stayed in during this 5 month trip. I really enjoyed it -- it was very difficult to leave again.
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … I stayed at Borneo B&B for a second time in March 2006. I came back because May and Bidas were so wonderful to me the first time I was there. There was absolutely no problem with the communal bathrooms, and a number of rooms had private bathrooms. Many of the rooms were freshly painted, and May and Bidas were as wonderful as always.
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … I was recommended to come and stay at the Borneo B+B. It was a little bit hard to find but well worth the effort! Very comfortable and very friendly place. Will come back if I come back to Kuching.
Cozee Hostel in Kuching … We stayed at Cozee Hostel for five nights in late October-early November 2007. Wesley made a point to meet us at the hostel and spent probably an hour outlining all the travel-tourist options for the area, which made our visit a great success. The hostel is spotless and offers many "extras" including umbrellas to borrow, a place to wash and dry laundry, use of a stereo, a fridge. The hostel is also quite secure as it's on the third floor and has room, front door, and gate locks. I don't know why any traveler would stay elsewhere given this great budget find has everything you need for a pleasant stay in Kuching.
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … This B&B is by far the best guesthouse I have ever stayed in. The Iban owners, Bidas and May, are truly the most hospitable and caring individuals, always putting their guests' needs first. It's the only B&B in the area owned by an Iban couple and is clean, tidy, and comes with hot showers and breakfast! There is even internet in the common area. The owners are often around and can help organize trips to longhouses, National Parks, and the local sights in and around Kuching. This being my second trip to Sarawak, I highly recommend Borneo B&B as the only place to stay in Kuching!
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … Much less traffic noise than the only other hostel in town, but still centrally located. Clean. Very pleasant common areas, including TV lounge, small outdoor patio and homey breakfast area. And you actually get a good breakfast! But what makes this place really stand out is the people who run it, Bidas and May. They are both genuinely kind and intelligent people, and they make every effort to ensure that their guests have the best possible experience. They can even arrange a very non-commercial trip to the longhouse where Bidas grew up. I went, and it was terrific!
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … We have been travelling for 6 months and this is absolutely the nicest guesthouse we had! May and Bides are so friendly and helpful, it feels like a "second family"!
Borneo Seahare Hostel in Kuching … Whether staying for a day or a month, I'd definitely recommend staying at Borneo Seahare. From the moment they picked me up from the airport, Wesley and Teresa were fantastic hosts for the month I stayed there. The hostel is spotless and really well maintained, and there's all day breakfast and water which is great, as well as hot showers. Location is very central and you can easily walk to everything important. Even better is the huge amount of information and advice they can give you about all the amazing things to see around Kuching. I think it was also the little things that made this place so good -- thoughtful things like making sure you can eat the bread if you have allergies. If you're staying for a bit longer then, be warned, you may be involved in various city festivals! Great fun though. Overall I had a great time staying here, great place and even better hosts.
Borneo Bed & Breakfast in Kuching … It's one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. The whole family was wonderful, welcoming me with a warm smile. Always polite and helpful, they made me feel at home. The hostel is bright and spotlessly clean. Fine location. Thank you for everything! I will always remember them as my friends!!
Borneo Seahare Hostel in Kuching … I was met at the airport although my flight was one hour late and Wesley and Teresa were nonplussed by this. They also took me to the hospital as I had to have some stitches removed from a head wound. Very helpful and pleasant couple. They explained where to go and what buses to use. At the time I was the only guest so it was fine. It was very clean and the cutlery and crockery was spotless. They left cereal, bread, tea,coffee, and milk. As they were not there, Wesley's mother came one day with extra bread and some cakes, a very nice gesture. My recommendations would be to have a mirror in the bedrooms or the passageway and a settee or easy chairs near the computer would make it feel more cosy. Also a decent TV and or a radio would have been nice, especially as I was alone. My only fear would be that if the hostel was full, it would be rather crowded as there were only two toilets/showers. However overall a very pleasant place to stay and not too noisy.
