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.

Situated in Mulu, Mulu Village offers accommodation with a patio.

The homestay offers a terrace.

It is 2.4 km to Mulu National Park. The nearest airport is Mulu Airport, 2.6 km from Mulu Village. I would definitely recommend this wonderful homestay in Mulu! It was a warm welcome from James, who grew up in this remote place. Authentic doesn't get any more authentic, I think. He explained to us all the things you can do and what to bring for a perfect experience. With Brenda we had a wonderful tour of the large caves and she gives us all the information about the animals we saw along the way. In the evening they showed us a documentary on a big screen about the history of Mulu and the struggle between the locals and the palm oil industry. It was very interesting! Thank you James and Brenda for our stay and the nice experience in this remote place. We will always remember it! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
