Fab hotel in a sleepy village
Pros:

The place is top notch, professional service with a smile, lovely breakfast, comfy bed in the dorm room with cosy duvet! (I was the only one in the dorm and lived it!)

They even made my bed each morning.

The pool is lovely and lots of chill areas around the pool and grounds.

There's also a sitting room/music room upstairs with guitar, cajon sit in drum box and traditional instruments, with a TV and sofas.

Locks royalty stayed here during a traditional music festival, booked the place for thenselves.

I love Santubong village, it's a really calm place with beautiful backdrop of the mountain, next to the water. The people are friendly and food it delicious in the cafes.

Cons:

It can be difficult to get ehailing service like grab it maxim, but the staff happily sort a ride locally for you if this is an issue.

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.

Pros:

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.
