The host Matnor is great. He is super responsive in terms of communication and left us breakfast outside our room twice and offered us breakfast a third time. He also let us keep our bags at the guesthouse while we went on an overnight trip. The room itself is functional and clean with a comfortable bed. Most rooms look out onto a garden area with tables and chairs outside so nice for enjoying breakfast al fresco. I believe there is also a washing machine and a basic food preparation area. Free water is also provided.

The guesthouse is located on the other side of the river to most of the sights. This wasn't a problem for us as there is a ferry service between 6am-6pm which is very cheap. We booked grab taxis after 6pm.

The location is good, in a kampung setting in Kuching City. There's easy access by boat (cost RM1 only) across the Sarawak river to Kuching waterfront. The owner Encik Matnor is very friendly, helpful and he gave us delicious homemade popiah for breakfast. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend it.

Matnor is an excellent host and is happy to help you in anyway he can. We enjoyed staying in the Malay Kampong as an alternative to the City Centre. People were friendly and an easy boat ride across the Sarawak River to the centre. Highly recommend. Andrew and Kerry

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. Bicycles are available to guests. A quick ferry ride across the water to buses, food markets and the Kuching waterfront.

Responsive & friendly host. affordable and reasonable price. comfortable. i love the kampung environment. it feels so calm. very near to the Waterfront if using penambang near jetty there. Uncle Matnor was so kind. He provide breakfast for us.

No

Friendly and helpful owner. Little extras like a shared washing machine and kitchen area. Great value for money. Set in an authentic Kuching kampung.

Not a problem for us, but be aware that this is a village setting, so expect to hear the mosque and a little traffic noise.

We enjoyed our stay in Merdeka Guesthouse very much and actually extended it two times. The host is incredibly friendly and gave lots of helpful recommendations as well as a snack sometimes, the room nicely equipped and clean. Definitely recommend!

cross the river, in a small boat, and arrive at a charming layback Malay village…

The toilet and the water problem.

comfortable

no

complete facilities with fridge, iron , kettle.near to restaurant.owner also very friendly

It's a spacious and clean room. You can use kitchen facilities and the washing machine which is great. It is located in a village just north of Kuching, so if you like local experiences this is for you; if you don't like quite places then you should go for the city center. You can reach the center easily by walking and ferry (from 6am to 6pm, for 1rm)

It's a very nice place with a big room. We booked the room for 3 persons, but we're just with 2 so we had a lot of space. We were welcomed with fresh watermelon. The owner gave us his number, so we could text him when we needed something. The location is good, it's just a 2 minute walk to the river which you have to cross to go to the center. To cross, it costs just 1RM pp.

The boiler didn't work, so there was no hot water.

Very good value for money this guest house. The owner uncle Mantor is top guy very helpful.

The room/house is very clean and very comfortable, very good service from the owner of the house, close to facilities & interesting places in Kuching city. I highly recommend that you come and rent at Merdeka Guesthouse and enjoy the comfort.

I like the host (Encik Matnor). He was very friendly. He served us breakfast on several occasions and he attended to most of our requests.

The mattress was rather saggy.

The rate is very cheap (in terms of the the facilities that you will get) and clean compare to others. Very suitable for all types of travel. Nice place to stay, not so crowded. The owner is very kind, gave me kuih for breakfast and can pay at anytime you want. Thank you Pakcik & In Shaa Allah will come here again.

exactly as advertised. host was amazing and kind.
