We stayed at Mulu Backpackers because of the good reviews. It is located in walking distance to the airport. It's a little farther away from the entrance to the National Park but still walkable. There might not be enough time to walk back and forth between the scheduled hikes though. We had a private room which was large; the showers/toilets are downstairs. Some of the days it's not possible to flush the toilets. It can become annoying. The owner (wife) tries to keep everything clean and in working condition. She is very nice. It's a basic accommodation with just cold water.

We stayed at this place for 4 nights (at a total cost of RM320 / £64 for all four nights for a private room plus breakfast). I couldn’t rate this highly enough. It’s a lovely little family run place by a river where you can swim or bathe, with a beautiful garden you can relax in. If you want dinner Helen will cook you some basic rice or noodles for RM10. We also got a load of clothes washed while we were there which was very cheap.

Obviously at this price it is BASIC ACCOMMODATION so if you want luxury or air con book somewhere in the park (at probably 10 times the price!). But for me that was part of the charm, it was lovely living with a local family for a few days.

Mulu gets very hot (it’s in the jungle) ... but there was a decent fan in the room that kept us cool enough. Basic toilets and cold water showers (trust me you won’t want a hot one!) that are super clean (they were cleaned every morning while we were there).

There’s obviously no WiFi... but if you want WiFi then you probably shouldn’t go to the jungle on the back end of nowhere!! Personally I loved being completely off grid for four days, that was relaxing in itself, and the park is awesome. Would recommend Clearwater Revival adventure caving... just the right level of challenging / scary but very doable as long as you’re fit, not claustrophobic and don’t mind getting very wet and muddy!!

Good hostel to stay a couple of days when you visiting Mulu. Mulu is basically one road so no matter where you stay everything is within 15 minutes walk. This place is very close to the Airport but don't worry with only a couple flights a day and no night flights this will not bother you at all.

Some General tips that you should know already:
- No ATM bring cash
- Expect rain and take appropriate clothing
- No DATA signal (Only Maxis seem to get some data if your lucky)

Other than that great place have fun.
