We ended our 8 day adventure in Borneo with Saloma. She and her family welcomed us into her home and gave us an amazing and authentic experience. Food... read more and accommodations couldn’t have been better and were true to the culture. She took us to her community’s Longhouse and another close by. She also took us on a beautiful hike to a waterfall we swam in. For every meal, she sat with us and genuinely wanted to get to know us. We would definitely recommend Saloma’s Villagestay.

  Saloma and her family give a genuine kampung experience. Their home is very clean, beautifully maintained and so welcoming. A shout-out to Selena, a beautiful young Bidiyuh woman who... read more even took me to church last Sunday.
The daily programme is very well organised behind the scenes, with each small group of guests having a similar yet uniquely personal daily experience.
William is a star, he should be retired by now but his physical strength is incredible. The full day waterfalls experience concluding with pomelo at his house that he climbed to pick....
On the farm-walk day with Nicholas, Andy and Saloma's mum we saw this is truly a genuine hunter-gatherer-cultivation village. Cos we twigged a can of sweetcorn was the only bought food we had eaten in 3 days.
Saloma's vision to bring outsiders into her kampung was bold but it is clearly successful and respectful on both sides.

  To visit Saloma Village means to enter the heart of hills kampung life of Sarawak. No touristic fakes or artificial reproductions. You stay with the family, in the family house... read more and eat the local (delicious) food. The place is simply beautiful and clean, all made of wood and totally surrounded by nature. Saloma and her colleagues are awesome guides who explain you the local flora, fauna and traditions with mastery. This is a unique experience not to be missed!!!
Thank you Saloma for letting us love Sarawak and the tribes living on its mountains!!!!!!

  I did the 3D2N tour with Gregory, Saloma's brother. We visited the local village, the family's rice farm, went on night-walks and trekked to a couple of waterfalls. Gregory was... read more a great guide and was able to explain village life and Bidayuh customs in great depth and detail. Saloma's family were also very hospitable and lovely and served up some truly excellent food.

The accommodation is basic but I think that adds to the fun and their house is spotlessly clean. Thanks so much Saloma, Gregory and family for a very relaxing weekend spent in your home!
