“Wonderful Hosts ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

The Borneo Seahare was a great surprise. The Seahare is located on the second storey of a small shopping center. Despite this location, it is very quiet at night as the center closes quite early.

“Lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2009

Wesley and Teresa were absolutely wonderful. Very helpful for giving advice about transportation, places to visit and they pointed us to some great places to eat! The hostel has a very relaxed atmosphere with a 24 hour breakfast on the table. We felt really at home during our stay here. Fantastic value for money.

“simple and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2009

a group of 10 of us stayed at this simple backpackers' dorm tucked away along a row of shophouses in Kuching. it was affordable, homely and very comfortable. never mind that there's no air conditioning. Wesley was very accomodating and made us feel right at home. Would stay longer next time. :)
