I had a wonderful stay at the hostel. Everyone is super friendly, you get a small breakfast, free coffee/tea/water all day. The rooftop is amazing and everything is really what a backpacker's heart desires. I don't understand the bad reviews! I didn't have any bed bugs, the bathrooms were fine, the shower pressure is a bit low, but then again you pay so little and get so much for it! Also, the bus to Sepilok leaves right outside the door. I‘d come back!

Warning! Bedbugs in the female dorm. The lady in the reception was kinda and give us privet room after I saw bedbugs on the wall next to my bed in the middle of the night! They were kind enough to let me stay in the privet for 2 nights instead and not paying extra.

Bed in private room was ok, A/C was super powerful and good, wifi was also good. However, due to the placement of my room close to the front of the street, you could hear EVERYTHING outside (as there is almost no noise insulation), and as a local store nearby decided to constantly play really loud (and really annoying) music for most hours of the day and night, it was hard to enjoy staying in the room whatsoever. Bathrooms were filthy, trash never changed, covered in ants... would NOT recommend
