Rob provided great local knowledge of the park and made a delicious breakfast for us every morning at a time that suited us. Unfortunately Dina was away so we didn't meet her but Rob was a great host and we would definitely stay there again

AA Homestay is close enough to the park entrance that you can run home & pick up forgotten stuff! So convenient! Albert & Mary are super friendly and kind, Albert even brought some forgotten items to us at the airport—where else does that happen?? The accommodation is simple (so, no A/c) but the fan works great and bathroom is en suite. I would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at D’Cave Homestay. Dina, Robert and their friends were very welcoming and staying with them in the evening for dinner together was like feeling at home. Their advice on tours and how to prepare us were really precious. It was an experience that we will remember as one of the best of our trip to Borneo.

The hospitality is super good. Uncle David and the staff are very friendly. It is fun to hang out at the balcony, chit chatting with them after meals, listening to stories from Uncle David. The longhouse Homestay is basic but charming, it has everything you need. Transport from and to airport, looking for activities to do, buying rice and pineapple and salt, they would help you with your request. Amazing and personalized services. People from small town who has the biggest heart!

We loved our stay here for a night before heading into the park for the pinnacles tour. Amazing food and great to chat to our lovely hosts. Everything was so clean and the bed was super comfortable. Great location halfway between the airport and the park and we really appreciated the help with our bags when we walked into the park after checkout!

Just 'down the road' from Poring Hot Springs, so a good location for those wanting to spend time at the Hot Springs (warning park closes at 16:00hrs, despite Sabah Parks website stating 17:00 hrs, so we missed the only attraction in town). A quiet location with very friendly host family. Each room had an ensuite but the kitchen and TV room were in common areas.
