I’ll be back
Pros:

Amazing service amazing vibes. So serene, so exclusive. I could stay here whole weekend if God allowed me. Alas, I have responsibilities. Food and bar menu are pretty reasonable, you don’t even need to leave the property bros.

Cons:

Parking can be a bit better, otherwise, no harm done.

Best hosts ever!
Pros:

The property is amazing - exactly as it looks in the pictures. However what stood out was the helpfulness of the hosts, Bai and Lin. They gave us loads of support, suggesting activities and being around for any questions (even via message). And the food was great too - we really enjoyed the breakfast! I would absolutely recommend staying here

Cons:

Nothing - it was perfect!

Pros:

We spent 4 nights here as a group of 4 (2 couples) and had such an amazing time. Our goal was to climb Mount Santobong, go on a river boat trip and to visit Bako National Park. We were able to do all of that from this location (getting a local hire to drive us to the spots) and come back to a really serene and peaceful accommodation. The Village House is a very peaceful and beautiful property - the curated menu was cooked fresh and was always delicious and we felt the staff in particular Bai and Lyne went above and beyond to make us feel really welcome. Easy communication, relaxing atmosphere and staff that felt like friends made our time here very special. I can only recommend and would love to come back someday!

Pros:

L'hôtel est idéal pour être au calme et se reposer. Les espaces communs sont très grands et confortables.

Cons:

La salle de bain du dortoir n'est pas très propre, le savon était vide dans toutes les douches. Il y avait pas mal de toiles d'araignées dans le dortoir.

Beautiful quiet traditional hotel
Pros:

This is a lovely small traditional style hotel set in a beautiful lush tropical garden. The rooms are set around a very clean swimming pool.
It's very comfortable, with lots of places to sit in the shade amongst some attractive antique objects.
The Raja Suite was spacious, with a comfortable bed , effective air conditioning and a clean bathroom. It had a great balcony facing into the trees.
It rained heavily most of the two days we were there but it's a great place to relax and do nothing.

Cons:

The breakfast is very limited with just a choice of three cooked dishes. The food is mediocre.
There are really no other restaurant options around unless you have your own transport.
Grab or taxis are almost non existent in this area especially for shorter distances.

Die kleine Anlage liegt zwar etwas abseits, ist aber wunderschön. Man wird sehr familiär aufgenommen und verwöhnt. Wir waren 4 Nächte dort und haben es sehr genossen.

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.

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.

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 👍!!!!
