This was such a unique and peaceful experience! We loved staying here and learnt so much about Sarawak’s indigenous history and culture. Saloma’s family are all so friendly and welcoming, this was a really special trip that I’d definitely recommend.

Booked: 3D2N Immersive Sarawak village stay | Semenggoh, Longhouse & Cooking

Good evening, we are Stefano and Jessica, and we have just returned from the longhouse tour with Malindo. It was an amazing experience, perfectly organized. Malindo provided us with incredibly interesting insights and took care of us for two days like a longtime friend. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!

Booked: 2D1N Batang Ai Longhouse | Orangutans, Iban Tribe & Beyond

We loved our 3 night 2 day stay at Saloma so much. The activities (bamboo cooking, foraging, walk to the waterfall, tour of another village, night time walk) were all excellent and the rest of the time we were free to relax in the hammocks and take in the surroundings. All of the food we were prepared was delicious. All of the family were friendly and welcoming and particularly Wuui our guide who was so warm and made our stay extra special. Would highly recommend!

Such a unique experience! Loved the home stay, sitting in the hammocks listening to the rain was pretty special. It’s about 90min out of Kuching but the remoteness is part of the charm. Be aware there is no hot water, and family cats and dogs around the house. The food was so lovely - Salomas aunty Junim is beautiful!

Booked: 2D1N Homestay with a Bidayuh Local | Orangutans, Village Life, and Jungle Trek

Very knowledgable and patient guide Musa. Punctual and accomodating. The local Iban people were very pleasant, welcoming and hospitable. The accomodation while basic was tidy and spacious. Would definitely recommend bringing gifts that can be split between various families residing in longhouse and be prepared for very basic amenities. But lovely to experience a day in the life of an authentic asian villlage. We shared in luak and rice wine and had a great time sharing instruments and dancing the traditional iban style :) would recommend for those who are not afraid of roughing it a little bit.
