This is like home. Sam, Georgette and Judith maintain a well run, comfortable and very affordable B&B. They will try hard to make your stay fun and worthwhile. They know Sarawak: What to see. How to get everywhere. They will call and make reservations ahead for you out of Kuching. You will learn from them about Sarawak as you sit and have a conversation in the kitchen. Everything works at Marco Polo: the air con, the WiFi..even a wide screen TV with cable. The best place to stay in Kuching!!

The owners Sam and his wife are among the friendliest guesthouse owners I have ever met. Sam picked me up at the airport (for a small fee, significantly less than what taxis would cost) and they always made sure that there was hot tea and fresh fruit waiting for me. Sam also was very happy to spend several hours talking about Malaysian politics, economics, world travel, and anything else with me, and had great recommendations for places to go and things to see. Would highly recommend.

I enjoyed my stay at Marco Polo. The shared toilet and bunk were really clean. There is free internet access too. I would certainly stay there again if I were to go back to Kuching.

What a wonderful stay! Very clean and well-kept guesthouse, with a great central location. Many famous food stores right next door, and the waterfront just a 10 minute walk. Such warm and genuine hospitality - they even cooked us all dinner one night after a trip to the Sunday market. Showers have good hot water and pressure, and wifi is also free. Breakfast and drinking water is provided free as well. Nice balcony and lounge for relaxing as well. What a comfortable and enjoyable stay thank you!

A wonderfully warm stay at Marco polo. It was quite quiet most of the time but I understand it is like this in a few places in Borneo. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and Madame Bong was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Even cooking me dinner one night. It was like being in a home away from home and would definitely stay here again . Thank you!
