I had a wonderful time at this guesthouse! Firstly, the location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to reach tourist attractions and nearby restaurants. Moreover, I was impressed by the room facilities. The room was tastefully and comfortably furnished, with modern and well-maintained furniture and amenities. The bed was cozy and soft, allowing me to rest well every night. I also enjoyed the added bonus of the swimming pool within the building. It was a delightful surprise to have the pool mostly to myself during my stay, providing a serene and private aquatic experience. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my stay at the guesthouse, and I'll definitely choose it again next time I visit. Thanks for the warm hospitality and excellent service provided by the guesthouse!

The apartment was extremely clean. My kids love the play area. If only there's a ladder to climb. My girl couldn't climb herself up since she's still 1 year old. But she loves it. My son was extremely happy. I love the minimalist decoration and the facilities.

    I stayed here before for an extended period. It was great! The room was great, clean and had everything I needed. The view and the location - just wow! The facilities were OK but I had my my own car so going to nearby villages/towns to eat/get supplies was easy. Much of this was the same this time - except they put me in a different room ....

    Our stay at Borneo Beach Villas was an absolute delight. The villas were beautifully designed, offering stunning views of the ocean right from our balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. We particularly loved the spaciousness of our villa, the well-maintained private pool, and the convenience of having a fully equipped kitchen. The resort's amenities, including the fitness center and spa, added an extra touch of luxury to our stay.
