An ideal place to jump of the merry-go-round that is modern life
Pros:

Liked room - balcony looked onto verdant backdrop with amazing exotic birdsong. The pool was ours to ourselves as for a couple of days we were the only guests. It was an oasis of calm. The cocktails that were available were great. İn all of Malaysia alcohol of any form is not cheap. Bicycles are available to use to explore the village. The new Wallace Centre in the village is a must. Sarawak is a great escape from KL heat.

Cons:

Breakfast was ok. The malaysian breakfast was perfect but the western options could be better with regard to quality of ingredients and portions. Due to it being out of peak season, the drinks availability was limited. İn all of Malaysia alcohol of any form is not cheap. Getting a Grab taxi to different local areas is difficult. Airport and Kuching are easier.

Great accomodation for a relaxing and comfortable stay close to nature.
Pros:

Peaceful little oasis, very comfortable rooms, terrace and pool area.

Cons:

Smaller / more remote property so fewer food options, but wasn’t an issue for the duration of our stay.

A romantic and zen oasis ♥️
Pros:

The Village House was a boutique hotel in a zen oasis. More so because I was the only person on the first day and only joined by 2 others the following days. Staff, Rubaini and Lin were friendly and extended warm hospitality throughout my stay. Food was delicious and guests had access to bicycles which I used to explore Kampung Santubong and its beach. I’m so grateful for the amazing stay and also the stunning sunsets viewed from nearby beach (5 min ride). Thank you for one of the most relaxing and luxurious breaks. 🙏🏼

Cons:

There was nothing I dislike about The Village House although it would have been nice if the beach was onsite and I could swim in it.

The best getaway in Santubong!
Pros:

Very good location in Santubong, where you can visit the Wallace Center and you will be very well located to visit the Cultural Village. Excelent neo-traditional housing style with open space terrace (very tastefully decorated) around the pool, which is long enough for you to swim. Hyper friendly staff (my warm regards to Lin and Bai!). The perfect getaway if you wish to be located in a quiet rural area! It was very easy to get Grab to go to the Cultural Village and also back to Kuching.

Cons:

Cleanliness of the sared bunk bed room bathrooms can be improved.

Pros:

L'hôtel est beau et bien entretenu. La literie est incroyable. On peut choisir entre la climatisation et la ventilation. Environnement fantastique. On a voulu faire les parcs nationaux et on a été pris en charge complètement c'était l'expérience la plus merveilleuse que l'on a fait surtout la nuit. On vous fait parvenir nos photos d'animaux. On a très bien mangé également. Merci pour le dévouement de Bai .

Pros:

Wir waren als Paar im Nov. 2025, in der Nebensaison dort! Wir hatten außergewöhnliches Glück und waren die einzigen Gäste dort...alles für uns 🤩 allein...Personal, was sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend war, den wunderbaren, erfrischenden Pool und vorallem diese Ruhe, die wir sehr genossen. Die ganze Anlage wunderschön und sehr gepflegt. Die Zimmer waren zweckmäßig und sauber, tägliche Reinigung. Beim Frühstück hatten wir Auswahl zwischen englischem, asiatischem und süßem Frühstück...wir entschieden uns für süß...Pancakes mit frischem Obst und Joghurt. Kaffee mit Toast und Marmelade standen zusätzlich aus. Das Abendessen haben wir auch dort genossen, da der Ort eher "ausgestorben" war zu dieser Zeit. Beim Buchen von Ausflügen stand uns das Personal helfend zur Seite! Empfehlenswert ist ein Spaziergang bei Ebbe am Strand. Gern hätten wir das 8-Gänge-Menü probiert, nur wurde es zu dieser Zeit leider nicht angeboten! Wir danken für die wunderschöne, sehr relaxte Zeit in diesem Hause ❤️! Klare Empfehlung unsererseits 👍!!!!

Awesome!
Pros:

Everything... the ambient was calming and nostalgic. Staff were friendly, definitely the best place to unwind after hectic busy days in city...

Cons:

Breakfast was nice but wished for more variations, like buffet styles maybe. Little bit difficult to locate the place, wished for a signboard at least.

Lovely place
Pros:

The Village House is a beautiful and very special place. It is beautifully decorated and very peaceful, located just a 5-minute drive from Mt. Santubong. We made a last-minute reservation, and they kindly contacted us on WhatsApp to check if we wanted dinner and even sent us the menu.

On arrival, we were greeted with a glass of iced tea, shown around the property, and served a delicious dinner. The room was beautiful, and the whole property is lovely, filled with flowers, local antiques, and an amazing pool. They also organise trips to different places in the area, including night tours in a nearby national park.

We only discovered it on our last day, but if we had known sooner, we would have joined some of the trips organised by The Village House. If you are looking for a place near Mt. Santubong, don’t look any further. If we come back to Sarawak, we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for making our trip to Borneo even more special.

Tranquil place, kept exceedingly clean and well maintained
