Mulu Diana Homestay

Diana's homestay is conveniently located outside the Mulu national park. By foot, you can reach the park entrance within approx. 30 mins. Also, the guesthouse team will arrange for your transport to the park, if you prefer that over walking. There is no alternative transportation (bus, Grab, Maxim) available, so make sure to let Diana know your ETA, so she can pick you up from the airport. The team at the homestay is absolutely lovely and very helpful. Helen is a great cook and I've enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners she prepared. She will also prepare packed lunch if you like. During my stay, WLAN was not available and power will only be available 6pm to 6am, when the power generator is working. Also, there is no hot water available and water pressure isn't great, but that wasn't a problem for me. The rooms are very spacious and beds are very comfy. I would stay at Diana's homestay again.

Typical hostel for backpackers and budget tourists, besides there is practically no other choice in the area. Nicely situated on the riverside, nice relaxing view from the terrace. Modestly equipped, fans in the rooms, tea and coffee available. The hostel has a pleasant homely atmosphere. Wonderful owner Diana who is the soul of this place. Helps with everything, arranges transportation, guide (private guide costs MYR 150 for half day, airport transfer MYR 5 per person), will prepare delicious home-made breakfasts and dinners.

The photos do not reflect the actual appearance of the building and rooms. It would be useful to clean up the surroundings of the facility a bit because it looks like a littered construction site. Rooms and especially the bathroom should also be cleaned more thoroughly.

great location on (swimmable) river bend. it is a Homestay… and Diana is brilliant. home cooked food is superb. Desmond is a park guide and recommend his tours.

it would be great if they had somewhere to sit outside near the river. any negative reviews about Diana can only be about false expectations of a Homestay. This was exactly as we expected and very chilled. there is some building work now until may 2023 (they say) but really it didn’t disturb as stopped by 5pm.

very friendly host, great food for a good price, fun pets :)

locations was a bit noisy with the pier and the construction works

The warm welcome and hospitality by Diana!

Air conditioner was a but loud, also the rooster crowed "actively" early in the morning.

Great place to meet other travelers and the food is so good!! Please note that there is no warm shower and no electricity during the day. It’s a 30minute (if you walk relaxed) walk to HQ but Diana can bring you as well (for a small fee at the end).

Diana was an outstanding host and we felt very welcomed at her home. She cooked excellent food for dinner and there were plenty of options for breakfast. The view from the balcony is beautiful when looking at the rainforest and the river right in front of the homestay. Even if the stay is a bit further away from the Mulu National Park, Diana always provides a ride to and from there as well as a drive from the airport and back.

The diesel generator is a bit noisy in the night but this is common in Mulu.

There is river in front of the house. Very nice view from balcony and relaxing atmosphere. In the middle of nature. Very tasty food. Diana also offered drinks etc eith the same price like in minimart.

There was no electricity one night but Diana was helpful and gave us power banks. Sometimes the distance from NP was hard to walk in heat. But overall everything was very good

Food, hostess and beds were great.

No air conditioning or power for fans after 6am so room was very hot. Shower did not have enough pressure to run. We enjoyed a bucket shower but this wouldn't suit everyone.

very nicely located near Mulu National Park, clean and with A/C Diana is a very friendly and super helpful host! she picked us up from the airport, drove us to the national park every time we wanted and cooked very delicious dinner for us! She was just wonderful! very recommendable Homestay
