“Don't miss the chance to stay at this hostel! Great experience.”
I stayed in a single room with a private bathroom. It was small and very simply furnished but it had everything I needed: a hairdryer, towel, bath mat, air conditioning, a comfortable bed, a TV, a desk and chair, wifi and a hot shower. There are also small windows overlooking the riverfront. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can even do your laundry. You can't ask for more from a hostel at such a low price. Even the position is good and there is everything you need all around. But the real plus is Olivier, the owner. He's friendly, helpful, and truly cares about the well-being and serenity of his guests. He's always ready to provide you with any information you need to organize visits and excursions, and he gives you the best tips for making the most of your stay in Kuching, especially if you're a budget traveler. He'll advise you on how to save money by using public transportation with all the details, for example and recommend the best excursions. Olivier is the best person I've met during my trip to Malaysia and I recommend everyone to stay at his hostel. It will be a pleasant surprise.

“Location is amazing”
Woodpecker Lodge is in such a great location. There is quite a lot stairs but the location makes up for it. The owner has three adorable cats 😍. The room was a good size but was a bit grotty (nothing major just needs some maintenance) but once again the location made it worth it. We didn't try out the shared facilities like the roof or kitchen. The owner was really lovely and easy to communicate with. Would stay again for ease of location
