Hotels near Bako National Park, Kuching

"So far stay di sini memuaskan. Just hari check in, ada staff receptionis rambut color keperangan kuning, agak tidak mesra menjawab soalan dan nampak mimik muka pun seolah annoying dengan klien. Agak sarkastik. Overal lain2 staff semua ok dan memuaskan. Front service tak melambangkan institusi pengajian yang ada course Hospitality and tourismm. Btw utk service di restaurant / breakfast pagi tiptop, staff pun friendly. Keep it up. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"

"We had a lovely 3D2N mother-daughter and intergenerational friends’ stay at Cove 55, Santubong, and it was exactly the sort of peaceful break we were looking for. The grounds are beautiful and very calming, with a real sense of tranquility and serenity. The staff were lovely — warm, attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay. Our mothers are in their 80s, and the pace and setting were perfect for them. Two nights felt just right for a restful getaway. The room was spacious, bright and comfortable. The bed was firm and very comfortable, and the air-conditioning was powerful — an absolute godsend in the Santubong heat. The complimentary water, coffee and tea provided were adequate. The weather was generally nice, although scorching during certain parts of the day, so we were glad to have a cool room to retreat to. Our stay was simple and very enjoyable: we basically ate, chatted and swam. The food was good quality, with generous portions, and we were very satisfied with the meals. The place feels lived in rather than brand new, but it is respectably clean. I would not describe it as immaculate, but it is by far cleaner than many hotels and retreats in Kuching. The only thing I wish we had done differently was to request ground-floor rooms in advance. As our mothers are in their 80s, it would have been easier for them to avoid climbing the stairs. For anyone travelling with elderly guests or anyone with mobility concerns, I would suggest requesting ground-floor rooms when booking. Overall, Cove 55 is a beautiful, serene place for a quiet escape, especially for families or friends wanting to slow down and spend time together. I would happily recommend it."

"Excellent experience during my recent stay at this hotel. The check-in procedure was exceptionally smooth and welcoming, thanks to Mr. Nasrul at the reception desk. He was incredibly helpful, professional and efficient, ensuring we felt valued from the moment we arrived. His warm hospitality and attention to detail set a wonderful tone for the rest of our stay. The entire experience was fantastic and I will certainly recommend this hotel to others. Please convey my sincere appreciation to Mr. Nasrul for his outstanding service."

"Friendly staff, clean, very comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet is excellent. Central and quiet position and the roof terrace is a nice place to relaxe in the evening."

"I stayed here for 6 days to relax, and it truly is a haven of peace. I really enjoyed the beautiful pool, and the bed is super comfortable. I felt pampered by the service and kindness of Bai and Ling. The food is excellent too."

"Great location and views! The room was a bit dated though. The air conditioner's outdoor unit was right on the balcony, which was handy for drying clothes, but it made a bit of noise at night. There were no complimentary toothbrushes, but you could get two for free at the front desk. The phone was broken, and the towels were a brownish-red color, so it was hard to tell if they were clean or dirty."

"Great experience overall. The service was excellent – staff were friendly, helpful, and responsive throughout the stay. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable for families. Everything was convenient and easy to access."

"My stay was disappointing. The room was very hot when I arrived and remained uncomfortable, definitely not ideal in warm weather. The surroundings and ventilation need improvement. The toilet was dirty, and the sliding door did not close properly it hung awkwardly over the rim. I have to do it myself to make it inside the rim so it can slide better. Breakfast was okay only and not attractive. They mentioned a tablet would be provided, but it wasn’t. Also, no one answered the contact number for inquiries. I expected much better for the price. Overall, this place is only for Instagrammable."

"Note: Make sure to read carefully when booking. This building houses both a hotel and apartments. I booked an apartment-style stay, similar to an Airbnb. Someone will meet you for check-in, and all communication will be via WhatsApp with the 'housekeeper,' which is convenient and easy to understand. Check-in was quite smooth and easy to find. The environment and cleanliness were both good. There were no slippers in the room, and the hot water wasn't very hot. I booked for two days, and there were only two bottles of mineral water. Perhaps you can ask the housekeeper for more mineral water, or something else, I'm not entirely sure. These are minor issues; I bought two large bottles myself. There was only one roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. The housekeeper I dealt with was quite helpful, polite, and nice. Communication was smooth. However, check-in is strictly at 3:00 PM, and there's no luggage storage available. My flight arrived very early in the morning, and I had to wait until 3:00 PM to check in. I can understand this, as most hotels have similar check-in times. What I don't understand is the lack of luggage storage. I was already super tired, sleepy, and hungry. With such a long wait until check-in, trying to go eat or explore while lugging around my baggage was extremely inconvenient!"
