Great stay in Kuching!
I can't say enough nice things about the place and the service! My room was just like it looks in the photos. Clean and quiet and I had everything I needed! The guesthouse is in a great location, minutes away from the waterfront and shopping, restaurants, massages, etc. But best of all was the service. Ben and Andy were great, super helpful, they helped me booked day trips, called the airline for when my luggage was lost on arrival, lent me a travel adapter as mine wasn't working, and were overall super welcoming and nice. Thanks for a great stay!

Borneo seahare guesthouse
I had a fantastic time at his hostel and the location was great. Everyone in the hostel got along well and it was really nice having the bar attached to it. The only bad things were that it often ran out of toilet paper, the beds were super squeaky and it is quite a distance from the open air market.

Staff was nice and we took one tour they arrange, it was cool. However, you may want to know some little details: there is no towels unless you pay. Shared bathrooms, no handtowels. No safetybox! There was no staff members available at all times. If you have bad knees, notice that there is lot of stairs and no elevator. Smoking is possible inside the smoking area in the living room. All in all, we had a nice stay there! No cockroaches or ants, that is always ++.

Trivsamt.
Kanske inte tipptopp rum, men det vinner i längden. Gemensamt kök o badrum, men inte många gäster så det blir aldrig kö. Otroligt bra stab som hjälper till med allt. Lugnt, sköna sängar, nära till det mesta. Mycket för pengarna.

就價格來說沒什麼好挑剔了
不過我們住的雙人房，兩邊的床頭燈一邊正常運作，一邊燈泡被拿掉不亮，讓整個已經很暗的房間亮不起來。另外對行李很重的人來說會比較辛苦，因為沒有電梯。 床還蠻好睡的~

Bestes Hostel in Kuching
Sehr sehr cooles Hostel. Der eigene Anspruch ist es nicht den Aufenthalt des Gastes, sondern seinen gesamten Urlaub besser zu machen und dabei zu helfen, wo es nur möglich ist. D.h. Guidetrips buchen, von diversen Touren rund um Kuching erzählen, uvm. Sehr sehr cool. Familiär und hatte alles (und noch mehr) was wir brauchten. Dank geht raus an Ben, Nick und Flo :)

Nice and cute guesthouse/hostel
Pro: Nice experience due to the lovely atmosphere. The owners made a real effort to make it a nice place (for instance flowers in the room + toilet). Felt like home. Also the place has a nice home-cinema with plenty of recent movies. Also has a nice collection of books. Furthermore the toilets are nice. Con: The place is not sufficiently clean. We were bitten by many insects in our room, which made our experience less than comfortable. However when we told the owners about it action was taken and we got a new room.

Prima hostel voor enkele nachten.
Kleine gezamenlijke douche. Aardige eigenaren. Goede communicatie vooraf maakte het makkelijk te vinden.
