    1 Bunk Bed Mixed Dormitory
    Stayed 3 nights in April 2025

    “Great beds for great value”

    The cheapest bed I could find at that time. With less than RM30 per night, I was actually worried about the cleanliness and condition but then I got surprised to get a comfortable bed, a locker, air conditioned room, and clean showers with water heater. The bed is actually capsule style but the cubicle is wide enough for me to stand up with a bit of hunch forward. But the cubicle is separated from the room with a simple curtain. The dining hall is spacious and clean, with utilities like fridge, microwave and stove available for guests to use. There is a washing machine as well. Check-in before 10pm, check-out before 11am. You can only book online so I never actually met the staff. Next time I'm in Kuching if I'm looking for a budget bedding again, I will choose Sunset Homestay again.

    “Comfortable and Clean”

    A great place to stay while in Kuching. The owner cleans the place every day, and is very helpful and give advice. Beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning is very strong. You can ask for an extra blanket if its too cold. Overall a great place to stay while exploring the mountains and nature nearby Kuching.

    A clean bed with linens, very clean toilet. A functional common area with a large fridge and cooking needs. Affordable laundry. Walking distance to a lot of landmarks. For light sleepers, better to have earplugs in case.
