Myoldhouse

Lahad Datu

Fitted with a terrace, the units offer air conditioning and feature a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with bidet and slippers. The homestay provides certain units with mountain views, and units have a kettle. At the homestay, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. I like the view, the surrouding, even the girl help me check in is kind and helpful. The room is spacious, every facility is well prepared. Although ironing is sharing but it is considerate for a homestay. The balcony is large and chilling, if staying with friends, we will be able to fully utilise the balcony as the balcony links all room together.

Merdeka Guest House 2

Kuching

Offering garden views, Merdeka Guest House 2 is an accommodation situated in Kuching, 5.5 km from Sarawak Stadium and 10 km from Borneo Convention Centre Kuching. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host is just from another world. I arrived late (around 22h30) and even though he likes to wake up at 4h30, we kept talking for about half an hour. Then, he goes: "do you want me to show you around?" >> he went on giving me a guided kuching tour in his car. He even wanted to buy me a drink but no shops were open at midnight. Besides this, he would leave traditional sweets for breakfast every day. Legend!!
