It is rather an apartment than a hostel. We were the only ones staying there and enjoyed the clean kitchen, living room with DVDs, clean bathrooms and bedroom. The owner was extremely nice and helpful, he gave detailed information about what to do and where to do. The location was also good, 10 minutes walk from the waterfront, 5 minutes from good restaurants and 15 minutes from the bus stop towards the national parks. We really enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend to everyone!!!

From the moment we were collected from the airport till we checked out a week later Wes was friendly & helpful beyond anybodies expectations. All the local information we could handle he gave in a welcome presentation. The hostel was a clean/tidy perfect base, it was like having our own apartment while we toured national parks for the week.

This guest house is an amazing place, and we really enjoyed our stay. We had a private room, but we were the only people staying there. There are only three rooms anyway, but it was great to have the place for ourselves. It felt like a home from home with a kitchen and lounge area. It is unmanned, but Wes and Teresa were available to answer any questions. They were really helpful in telling us how to get to the Bako National Park, and the Orang Utans at Serrengoh. Great place.

Not enough words to express how good we felt here. Teresa and Wesley (owners) made us be like at home. Very recommended to enjoy Kuching in 100%

We stayed here a few days and most of the time were the only people here, so it was like having our own apartment - nice to have your own space. The owner, Wes, was great, friendly and had lots of useful tips about places to go and things to see. On his recommendation we visited Bako National Park and he only charged us for luggage storage while we stayed the night in Bako, despite us having booked for that night.

Got good tips of what to do in Kuching. Too bad we couldn't stay long enough. An advice is to be there on weekdays, since a lot of places seems to be closed on weekends. The Sunday market was interesting though :)

Very friendly hosts! Great place, it feels like your own apartment. Only 1 dorm and 2 rooms. Will definitely return.

No doubt one of the nicest placest we stayed during our 3 months long trip. The owner picked us up at the airport, and was kind enough to show us around Kuching while we drove to the hostel. As there's no staff full time at the hostel, and no one else was staying there at the same time as us (low season) we had the big apartment all to ourself, fully equipped with tv- room, computer and kitchen. Every morning the owner came with bread for our breakfast. Allowed us to leave our bags while away
