Mulu Diana Homestay

The location and the surrounding of the homestay, simply, is what you are looking for when in Mulu. Diana apart from being nice provides a professional hospitality service to the customers, communication with her is quick and effective. She quickly arranges meals, transports and also activities such as night cruises if you like. You feel really comfortable in the homestay.

Having to leave was a bit sad.

Der Fluss, die Lage und das Essen

es gabr keine Klima und kein Wlan… ansich schönes homestay sber man könnte noch mehr daraus machen!

Gastvrijheid van de familie van Diana. Locatie aan de rivier. Grote kamers. Diana komt je overal direct halen. Diana kookt heel goed.

La Diana és un encant! I el lloc és fantàstic

Vam agafar una excursió amb un guia que no formava part del personal del park, I els preus canvien, són molt més cars (més de 4 vegades més cars)

Отзывчивая и гостепреимная хозяйка, отличные ужины. Отличная организация трансферов в аэропорт и в национальный парк.

В комнатах очень жарко, было бы хорошо установить кондиционеры. Но их и не обещали.

L'ospitalità di Diana è eccezionale. Persona gentilissima e disponibile. Possibilità di mangiare presso la struttura. Diana cucina divinamente. Il posto è molto tranquillo e le camere dispongono di zanzariera e ventilatori.

niente.

ダイアナさんの人柄は最高で私達を助けてくれました。また朝食と夕飯は美味しかったです。 ホテルで出会ったラーインさんはとても良いガイドでナショナルパーク外の滝に連れて行ってくれました！

Incredible family, lovely river to swim in just 10metres from the front door and they helped arrange activities

The setting is wonderful

The facilities are basic

アットホームで親切、川で泳げる、ごはんがおいしい、村の人も立ち寄る心地よく活気のある場所

Amazing place not far from the park entrance and the view of the park along the road is incredible

Diana is incredible at helping you with anything you need and very welcoming, it's beautiful to sit on the veranda and watch the sun rise over the river in the morning.

A lovely Homestay with a lovely family. Diana is a fabulous host, very helpfully l and good communication via WhatsApp. Good basic budget accommodation.

The photos on Booking.com show more communal areas and a shared kitchen which aren’t now available. The Homestay is undergoing building work.

Tutto,il luogo agreste, l'essenzialità dei servizi, la super gentilezza di Diana...

Diana was welcoming and helpful. Beautiful location.

The walk to the park is a bit long, but Diana will drive you for a small fee

The location, the local hospitality, the taxi service , and the yummy dinners cooked by the host. This homestay is only 5min ride from the national park, which Diana will take care of your transport.

Great property, clean, friendly and tidy definitely would recommend staying here if wanting to visit mulu, was made to feel welcome straight away. 10/10

Delicious food, clean rooms, and inexpensive. Peaceful and quiet.

Snídaně byly dobré,večeře jedna dobrá,druhá velice chudá Možnost přepravy po okolí za malý poplatek Možnost koupit pití Atmosféra rodinná

Majitelka na nás zapoměla,ubytovala nás tedy ve své místnosti plné jejích věcí a krámů,sociální zařízení v bídném stavu, jedinou výhodou byla klimatizace,které hostovské pokoje neměly

The manager was friendly, helpful and attentive, creating a special sense of welcome.

Piękny widok na rzekę

Diana è fantastica e risponde a tutte le necessità dei suoi ospiti, ottima la cena con cucina casalinga, a colazione banana pancake Hai sempre un appoggio se hai bisogno di trasporti o consigli

Purtroppo l'affollamento rende difficile la pulizia dei bagni, in una camera da 8 non è quasi utilizzabile

Fantastic food, wonderful host and beautiful location.

Really good food 😋

Rooms could be cleaner and better furnished

Authentic, great views, cool resident cat, excellent home cooked local food for dinner, comfy beds, excellent fans, happy and helpful owner.

Location, breakfast included with option for further meals as requested for a fee, transport for hire, room fans and a kind host family. A real stay-like-a-local Homestay with pending renovations and new buildings making a potential top stay 😊🙏🏽

No air conditioning or hot water shower but not a big issue as we managed… like a local.

Diana is a wonderful host. The food was delicious. Rooms are spacious. Fan ceiling. Beds were comfortable. A 25 minute walk to the Mulu National Park or if a 5 minute ride. They are expanding so expect some construction during the day. Also this is not a luxury stay, but a modest homestay.

Diana and her family are really nice and helpful. I really enjoyed ma stay there! The food is really good as well. Thank you again for everything Diana!

The owner, Diana, is very kind and friendly. The dinner and breakfast she made were very delicious. The garden is very big so we enjoyed fishing, playing football and walking with the dogs and chickens. The room was very clean. We loved relaxing on the balcony with the fresh air and the view of the river.

none

Friendly staff Comfy bed Clean rooms Breakfast tasty

A bit far from the national park and the airport

Lovely hosts, great food. Transport to and from Mulu was easy to organise with Diana. Right by the river. Bonus pets (dogs and cats). Diana did some washing for me and it smelt AMAZING, she had even taken the time to iron and neatly fold all the items. Diana and her family are lovely to chat to and will go above and beyond to ensure all your needs are met!

Air conditioning would be a good addition. For me the fans were enough for a good sleep though.

Everything!

The location

Charming Diana and family make everything to make you feel at home. First time in Malaysia and best food ever tried so far. Nice place with a terrace with great views on the river. Had a great time talking with other travellers and meeting new people at Diana’s.

Had all the basics you need as well as the view was very beautiful. Diana is an excellent cook and very helpful with giving lifts to and from the park.

There isn’t air con or wifi however this is very common in Mulu.

It was a nice pleasure to be guests of Diana! She was helping us from the very first of our steps in Mulu till departure. Answering all the questions, transport to and from the park, making for us tasty breakfast. The house is not a luxury property, but it contains all the necessities for travelers.

Wi-fi was not very good, but it's not a bad from the owner, but the issue of the whole village

The food was really good and so was the hospitality. Everyone was very friendly including the host and any concern I had was promptly addressed. I thought the food was the best part.

The bathroom needed some shampoo which was not provided.

In one word: authentic! Loved the place , the food, the family , the vibes and the host Diana!

Not to have stayed longer…

Diana cooking skills

Very friendly host, good value for money

Diana is very friendly and welcoming, making us feeling like home. The room is simple and has all the necessary to get the perfect Mulu experience. Excellent position, 20 minutes walking from the park. Reccommended

Diana is a very kind and helpful host; the place is simple but has everything you need. Breakfast and dinner are available, and are homemade and very good. The host will provide transportation to the park if you need.

Diana‘s Homestay is a nice little family business & everyone is very caring & friendly. Great for a solo traveler to meet likeminded people & having a great chat. I felt safe & the food was absolutely delicious. Drinks were very reasonable priced.

The Homestay is still in the making & that you can’t see in the photos. However it also represents the poverty of this area where people still have a very basic happy life. Transport & communication is definitely a problem & needs improvement. Diana is working on it 😀

Diana is an amazing host and her cooking super! Desmomd is the most dedicated guide we have met during our three weeks in Borneo! Swimming in the river in front of the house is a must!

This is a homestay. If you don't expect luxury this is a fantastic place to stay.

The place was amazing and Diana was so helpfull, the food was great and the rooms were really clean. We recommend this place if you're going to Mulu.

Nothing

Diana seems to be motivated to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast is quite simple and basic

It's 30 minutes to Mulu park, 45 minutes walking to the airport. Electicity only 6PM-6AM. You get notified after booking. While I walked from the airport, I met Diana half distance on her way back, after she dropped people at the airport. Also one evening after the park, she picked me up on the street while passing by. At check out she charged me for transport :( You can stay cheaper in the park with 24/7 electricity

Diana was very friendly and helpful. Property was close to the National park and was a great experience

Diana is super host. Food is fantastic. Top value for money. Highly recommended.

Nothing but do remember it’s a home stay not the Marriott!

Diana was a lovely host who made us a great dinner and breakfast. She was also available to give us transfers to and from the national park and was easy to contact. The beds are comfortable and facilities are as described in booking. We only needed to stay one night but would happily have stayed longer if needed.

the owner is wonderful and very kind. you can swim in the river which is lovely. the dorm room was very spacious and clean

it was a little far out for me and I later learnt I could stay in the park for cheaper and the electricity is 24/7 in the dorms in the park. the water pressure was very low also.

Diana's friendliness and Dinners

Very hot until the electricity is turned on at 6pm

The kindness of the host and her family, The cleanliness, The food, The very good value for money, The cleanliness, The comfy beds, The private bathroom

The main building would benefit from better simple heat insulation (shadow nets, ventilation, plants...).

Diana was very welcoming, helpful, and cooked the most tasty and abundant meals I've had in a while.

Except for one day, there was no water in the head shower even during the hours where the electric was on (aprox 6pm to 6am), so one had to shower filling up a bucket with the regular tap, and water was cold. It was Ok though for 2 days and it was part of the experience of living like the locals, in a very simple way.

the diversity of the guests and the variety in the meals served on the evening

sometimes it can be very warm

Diana is the excellent cook. she is very good host.

No electricity and hot water. But that’s government issue. nothing she can do about it.

Had the most beautiful stay at Diana homestay in mulu! Diana was a wonderful host who cooks the most amazing and authentic local food. From the minute I arrived Diana helped organise any tours and activities and organised any transportation I required. I would highly recommend this beautiful homestay in mulu. Thank you Diana x

I really liked staying here! Diana is very welcoming and makes some of the most delicious breakfasts I’ve ever had. Gunung Mulu park is a 20-25 minute walk or Diana is happy to drop you in her car if you ask. I was very comfortable and pleased with the property.

It’s an amazing experience to step out of your comfort zone and stay here. Diana and her family are so friendly and helpful. It was a relaxing stay and refreshing break from “normal”.

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

the food was decent, but not really as good as the other reviews claimed!

Be Aware - the owner will charge you 5myr per person for rides to and from the national park or airport... so that’s 20 myr a day extra for a couple. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but considering that’s the ONLY way to get to this far away location, its seems like it should just be included in the price! Also she kind of frowned anytime we asked for anything, so not super friendly either.

Our room was spacious and clean, and Diana is a great host and an excellent cook; if you're planning to spend the days at the park (which I assume most guests are) this is all you need. Overall, were very happy with our stay.

Nothing really; we had realistic expectations about staying at a homestay.

Diana homestay is quite convenient as you can request for car shuttle service to/from airport and national park. Also you can dine in the homestay for lunch and dinner with a fee. Diana is also very welcoming and a good host to the guests.

Electric is only for a certain period of time as the place still rely on generator.

Diana is such a nice host. She really cares about the guests and her food is amazing.

Diana is a very friendly host. A good place to be a nearer to the people of Mulu. Interesting spot to see how the supply is done on the river. Good place to be just simple.

The house is a bit run down. Bathroom is praktically not working. A contrast to the friedlyness of the owner. Transport to and fro will be extra charged. But nevertheless a authentic place to stay in Mulu!
