I had a wonderful time during my stay there and had gained knowledge about the beautiful history and culture of the Bidayuh community. The Bidayuh community really make me feel welcomed. No regrets, I'm definitely coming back here and extend my stay! :) More

We did an overnight stay. Learn about the traditional ways of the longhouse people, ear some great food, hike to a gorgeous waterfall and, see how modernity has impacted the village. A fun overnight experience. More

Was not planning on visiting here but as we passed it to go to the hot springs I decided to have a look. It was a nice touch to have a glass of rice wine at the entrance and I found the people friendly enough but it was not as I imagined a longhouse would be, it seemed a real... More

Visited with friends and family. On arrival, the dyak origins of my friend were 'questioned' by the staff at the payment counter. So based on looks alone, my friend did not receive the indigenous discounted rate they were entitled too, and instead had to pay as normal. Very rude staff and had it not been for travelling such as long... More

I am not fascinated by the zinc roofs of the individual houses built so closely to each other. There are more authentic longhouses in Ulu Skrang area than this one. More

Maybe I checked in during the wrong time of the week (saturday afternoon, when half of the village is gone to the Kuching Weekend Market), but this place struck me as a bit dull. I had a great time exploring the surroundings and photographing the sleeping kitties, but the inhabitants itself were mostly busy minding their own business. There was... More

Well, it is a nice drive to get there. My problem was probably due to coming there in the afternoon for an hour as a stop over, so just browsed around the place aimlessly, nothing was happening at the long house. Would rather go and spend more time in Bako or the Caves. More
