The pluses for this homestay during my 3 day stay.. - not too far or difficult to get to from the city of Kuching - excellent communication with hosts leading... read more up to arrival so you know exactly what is planned and what is happenning - great hosts, the family is very welcoming and hospitable, and the food is fresh and tastes amazing. They also have some amazing pets that are so friendly, 2 dogs and 3 cats. Also, everyone else you meet in the village is really welcoming and friendly so you don't feel out of place once you're outside the homestay. - Very interesting tours, with very knowledgable guides, and you learn so much you wouldnt from google and youtube. The tours are also quite varied and customisable so something to suit all tastes and energy levels. - A real genuine insight into how life is lived in jungle areas. - Accomodation is clean and for a junle homestay, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The minuses - Well just one minus really, if you're hoping to encounter or view lots of wildlife, it may not fulfil that wish. So I'd advise to also book a trip to Bako nature reserve during your stay in Sarawak. In some parts you can explore some quite dense primary tree and plant life, but it's quite uncommon now to encounter, or even hear bigger animals like monkeys or flying foxes...

The minuses
- Well just one minus really, if you're hoping to encounter or view lots of wildlife, it may not fulfil that wish. So I'd advise to also book a trip to Bako nature reserve during your stay in Sarawak. In some parts you can explore some quite dense primary tree and plant life, but it's quite uncommon now to encounter, or even hear bigger animals like monkeys or flying foxes which were very common in the area around 20 years ago. This is of course part of a bigger problem being played out around the world. You may see some bird species but there's plenty of interesting insects if you like that (luckily not in the homestay, but the jungle areas!) More

  Saloma's place is a wooden cottage right in the middle of dense Borneo Jungles. She is very well known in the jungle within village community and we/guests experienced first class... read more treatment. Me being a vegetarian, Saloma took extra care to make special vegetarian dishes like curry, salads etc. She took us on a wonderful trek inside the jungle to her farm where we saw countless pineapple trees and cocoa plantations. We ended the trek with a nice swim in a waterfall - it seems there are at-least 50 such water falls Saloma tells. Best part of the whole trip was no WiFi, mobile network whatsoever. If you like wildlife (orangutans), nature, rivers (kayaking etc.) and fresh organic food - visit Saloma's place.

Saloma is a very fantastic young woman, full of energy, who choose to develop ecotourism in her own village.

Thank's to Saloma, her family and friends for the nice stay I had.
I will come back certainly.

  Perfect stay in a clean and comfy guesthouse, surrounded by Salomas family.
Our kids -and so were we- were taken by this place: lovely animals, nice people and a stunning... read more nature! The hike to the farm with a jubgle-cooking-adventure was our hightlight of many others!
