Traveller Homestay

We stayed in the Traveller Homestay for three nights in November. This was the first time we have stayed in a homestay and it certainly won’t be our last. Our double room was quiet, comfortable and very clean. The air conditioning in the room was useful after a day in the humidity of Kuching. There are tea and coffee making facilities as well as a comfortable lounge area and roof terrace area. The showers are powerful, hot (if needed) and always clean. The homestay is located above a very tasty restaurant (can recommend the almond biscuits, char sui buns, laksa, homemade lemonade). You could hear movement at opening and closing time but it was otherwise quiet. There are numerous shops and restaurants on the doorstep, the centre of Kuching was a 10 minute walk away. Moi, our host, was wonderful. She helped us get to Bako National Park by public bus (stops 2 minutes away from the homestay) and kept in contact to make sure we had arrived. As we were travelling in low season and the rooms were not fully booked, we were able to leave our bags in our room overnight while we stayed in Bako. A great place for travellers who want a quiet place to stay and are missing some of the comforts of home.
