JQ Seaview City Centre 5 Pax near Suria & Gaya Str
It's near Jesselton Wharf, so it's a perfect location for those who go on a hopping tour. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Suria Mall, and it's quite close to Gaya Street. The inquiry was quick to respond, and the wifi didn't work on the first day, but you did your best to solve it. I stayed☺️ for a week, and I had a cozy stay before heading out! I recommend it.👍👍

Downtown Urban Suite @ Jesselton Quay/Midtown View Suite
Really great stay in KK. Air bnb is in a good location, close to the jetty. Apartment was as described and perfect for four. Beds were comfortable and linen and towels were clean.

Api-Api Studio #A @Downtown City Apartment 2/4pax
I had a very nice stay at Catherine’s place. This place is highly recommended for a week’s stay and I really recommend Catherine as a host. She knows how to entertain guests and in my experience of booking Airbnbs, she was the friendliest I met. The place is really spacious, and there’s even a TV, microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine inside. It was like being at home even if I was actually in a different city. I highly recommend people to book her place. Thanks Catherine for the hospitality and for being approachable. You even adjusted my check in and check out times just to fit in with my flight and move in schedules. That’s superior service. 💯

Rainforest Home Jit@Git
We traveled with friends, and the six of us (four adults and two kids) stayed at Welyne and Gilles' home during our visit to Sarawak. We all had a wonderful time. The house is situated in a peaceful and scenic location, perfect for relaxing and recharging. It’s also conveniently close to the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, about a 30-minute drive from downtown. The house itself is well-maintained, comfortable with pool, and very well equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. Welyne and Gilles were excellent hosts—very friendly and accommodating. We especially appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the local culture, enjoy delicious meals, and take part in a durian tasting that Welyne kindly arranged. Thank you for a lovely stay. We hope to visit again in the future!

Picture Perfect Private House on Mabul
It was a super place and my family and I had a very memorable 2 days.Everything including the views, the food, the drinks, and the service were so perfect and everyone of us loved it.Nor is a really great diving instructor, he knows so many snorkeling spots, and although it's not the first time for snorkeling, we reap a new wonderful experience here.Everyone sees the turtles as they wish, as well as a variety of beautiful fish and corals.It's worth mentioning that the food is fantastic, and every meal is delicious and abundant, and my family especially love Nor's well-cooked sea fish and blended lemonade.Also, it's not a pleasure to buy seafood here and the Ba Yao people.I very much like tiger and jiji, tiger relatives are calm, jiji is lively and cute, in such a nice environment, spending time with two small cute, also good memories of our trip.Finally, thank you to all the staff here for everything, they were friendly and attentive.Special thanks to Nor for the tuna meal (he heard that Chinese eat fish when they celebrate the New Year).Would recommend for all to come and experience it was definitely more than I could have imagined and a great value for money.Hope to be back again.

D'Beranda Kasih Homestay Lundu
I would say that the home felt very cosy and a quiet place for family. On top of the all excellent amenities and facilities such as bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, the host really pull an effort to make the place feels like home by providing indoor boardgames such as scrabble, carrom and congkak, which lighten up the moods for my kids. Overall, excellent stay and highly recommended.

Overall, I had a comfortable stay, and I appreciate the host's hospitality. Thank you!

Great, a family of six, 3 rooms, a large living room.The host was very nice and we negotiated to put our luggage in early and the communication was very smooth.The room is very clean, the water stops when you check in, and they also have a spare water tank, the overall stay is great, the area in the center of the city, where you can easily pick up and pick up. The downside is that it's not that quiet at night
