HOTELS IN SARAWAK

When you are in Sarawak, instead of staying in hotels, try doing homestays in the longhouse or Sarawak’s orang asli village. They are available for tourists as well so don’t be afraid that you’ll interrupt the locals. There are also accommodations available at the national park and the normal hotels scattered around Sarawak. Try to ask around for more information before you decide what’s best for you.
