"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"!" … "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." … "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...  more »

"Situated just a two minute walk from the centre of Kuching, B&B Inn is ideal as a base for checking out the city. It is a fifteen-minute taxi ride from the airport or an hour by bus (we would suggest a taxi as it is not the easiest place to find) The hostel occupies the first and second floors of the building next to the Borneo Hotel. To be clear, this is budget accommodation. The staff are very friendly and helpful though. They arrange tours and the like for you and give you a town map. You must take off your shoes upon entering but...  more »

"A gem of a place - Located right on the waterfront facing the Sarawak parliament, the lodge occupies a tastefully restored 3 story Chinese merchant's house, now surrounded by the majority of Kuching's antique and artifact traders. Priced slightly higher than some of the other options, it does however take your ringgit that much further. All rooms, other than the dorms, have TV, phone, aircon, sheets, towels, and en-suite -- some behind a 3/4 wall with saloon doors. Rates compare favourably for a luxurious double with the cost of two dorm...  more »

"Strategically located along Ewe Hai Street in the heart of beautiful Kuching City, Berambih Lodge is only a few paces from the famed Kuching Waterfront and 50 feet from the oldest Chinese Tua Pek Kong Temple. Straddled between the old and new city hubs, you could spend the morning walking along quaint narrow alleyways in old Kuching where tin-smiths noisily go about their work, spice and textile traders selling their merchandise and then spend the afternoon wandering around modern malls in new Kuching afterwards." … "… between...  more »

"Highly recommended - Small, but not crowded. and wasnt busy during my stay, felt like I had the place to myself. Well set out with good kitchen area and the private room was roomy. Quite a comfortable stay. Walk to to most places from here is easy -- it's a slight uphill coming back but not a problem. Small shops very close. Hosts are not always on site, but whenever I saw them, they were full of information and interested in what I had been doing. Probably best let them arrange airport pick up rather than try to guess your timing to meet...  more »

Good breakfast, clean. Thanks for making our stay so convenient." … "Amazing, perfect, what every traveler wants! - I had a vision of a perfect guesthouse -- Clean, friendly, tasty free breakfast, free/cheap internet, charming rooms, fun hosts, book exchange, easy travel help, and a rooftop bar with free movies and hammocks. No joke, this hostel is...  more »

"As close to home as we have come in a month of traveling - 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...  more »

"Good alternative accommodation for backpackers - the rooms are very cheap, even by backpacker's standard. I've stayed there in 2007. Got the whole room to myself for only RM18. Room with 2 single bed, a desk and a chair. Common shower rooms at ground floor are massive (no hot shower). Location couldn't be better. Just a stone throw away from old town centre and riverfront. Would definitely stay there again in future visit to Kuching." … "I have stayed there a number of times - always with a nice atmosphere, and conveniently placed for...  more »

"The City Chime Square is a three-story guesthouse located in the centre of the Heritage Trail area, very close to the waterfront, bus stops, and attractions, all within walking distance. This guesthouse is new -- it opened in April 2007 -- and has a lot of potential, but at the moment it's functional and a work in progress. Within six months it should have loads of character. The entrance is down a small street and fairly easy to miss, so take care. The ground floor has the reception area full of information, the TV lounge (currently...  more »
