Mulu Village

This was a little piece of heaven:):):) I enjoyed the place so much. It was just nice and quiet,next to the river. I had a really good night sleep there. James was really really nice:) haven't met Brenda,but her husband was really nice and really helpful and I really wished I stayed for at least a week more. This was the best part of my Borneo trip. Just peaceful:) Bonus - you can see fireflies after dark just 5 min away from the accommodation. I love this place, honestly. 10/10

-it was about 30-40 minutes walking from the entrance. Personally,I didn't mind,even in the dark or during the rain as it was safe. But it might not be very convenient for someone. The hosts can give you a ride for RM5.

Staff James and Brenda took good care of me during my time there...

Nothing

La guesthouse è carina, in mezzo alla campagna, con una bella area comune. L'host è gentile, volendo c'è una colazione semplice ma buona a 12 myr. Stanza e bagno erano puliti, con ventilatore ben funzionante.

Posizione non comodissima, a 2.5 km dal parco. C'è un ristorante vicino, Stella Cafè, ma era chiuso nel periodo in cui siamo stati, perciò gli altri posti per mangiare erano a 15-30 minuti a piedi. Problemi nel pagamento con Revolut (ma possibile pagare con PayPal, anche se ci sono commissioni).

James and Brenda are wonderful host. They are very personable and my wife and I had nice long chats about their lives and the history of this historic property and village . There is a restaurant right across (which was closed the week we were there) and a grocery store a short walk away. You can use the fully equipped kitchen to prep your meals (small MYR 1 fee to cover expenses) and store your food in the fridge. Nice common area where you can meet other guest and two huge signage about the property history and significant events. Brenda offers guided tours and recommendations for visits to nearby settlements for day trips (e.g., Long Iman). Spent 6 nights at Mulu village and enjoyed my time . We had long conversations with other guest and long discussions with James and Brenda. James can drop you off and pick you up from the airport/park entrance (for a fee) or you can hitch a ride on the Marriott shuttle or locals on their 2 wheelers (for free). It’s on the banks of the river and some interesting bird life in the trees in front of the long house.

It’s 2.5+ kms from the NP entrance , so you will need to avail of James transfer service which comes at a small fee of MYR 5 pp per trip. (Alternatively hitch a ride on the Marriott shuttle 🤪 or flag down a local).

Mr James , the boss and Brenda, his wife are very friendly and helpful. They offered a ride from the hostel to the park office with their 4-wheel drive for RM5/ per person. They also served their guests with free local fruit (jambu air) which they plucked from their neighborhood garden

The rooting smell of dying rat or lizard (carcasses) at certain corner of the room but hardly can be discovered after searching around

I can’t speak highly enough of my stay here. Jame and Brenda are not typical hosts – they have a deep, genuine connection to this land. At first glance, they may seem like ordinar owners, but after spending time with them, I came to learn so much about their own past and the rich history of this place. I feel truly honored to have been welcomed so warmly into their lives. Instead of just being a guest, I somehow became part of their daily rhythm – climbing tree to pick fruit, sharing meals, stories, and laughter. We even became good friends by the end of my stay. Everything about this experience touched my heart. I loved every single moment here and sincerely hope to come back someday. Highly recommended for anyone looking for more than just a place to sleep – this is a place to connect, learn, and belong.

My stay wasn't long enough to fully experience everything in depth.

Die Lage direkt am Fluss war toll. Die Größe des Zimmers war super. Die Besitzer waren sehr lieb und haben sich um alles gekümmert, wenn man etwas wollte. Die Unterkunft war sehr einfach, reicht aber völlig aus.

Das Frühstück war ein wenig spärlich. Die Bettdecken sind für Europäer zu winzig.

Gospodarz otwarty i przyjazny.

W łazience był tylko papier toaletowy. Nie było podstawowego środka do kąpieli czyli mydła. Był aneks kuchenny, w którym za podgrzanie wody trzeba było płacić 1 RM. Obiekt oddalony jest od Parku - ok. 30 minut pieszo.. Gospodarz oferował zawiezienie/odebranie z parku za 5 RM od osoby. W pokoju są tylko wiatraki.
