This was far and away my favourite place to stay in Kuching. It has everything a backpacker could expect and so much more (the Malay-style brewed coffee available all day is a particularly brilliant extra!). The lovely old 19th century building is decorated in a relaxed chinoiserie style and with the view of the river from the lounge, and glimpses... More

The name of the hostel, 'wo jia', means my home, attracted my attention when i was planning my trip to Kuching. The place is cozy, relaxing, and i wouldn't complain anything bad about this amazing place! The staffs are super friendly, especially the 'john lennon' (u know who u r!) Wojia is just located in front of the waterfront, with... More

As someone who has now stayed in quite a few South East Asian hostels I can say that Wo Jia is as good as they come. The establishment essentially ticks all the criteria for a good hostel and is an excellent base from which to enjoy the beautiful state of Sarawak. To give some context about my trip and thus...

Perhaps one of the best guest houses I've stayed in Malaysia . Comfortable accommodation,homely decor and simple complimentary breakfast . Additional plus points would be its super friendly staff and the location of the hostel. Nicely situated within the heart of Kuching city over viewing the waterfront area and accessible by all modes of transportation. Keep it going guys!!!

This place was my home for a week, during my travel around Asia. Shouldn't expect special facilities (it's cheap though) but extremely friendly and helpful stuff (these guys love to have a laugh!), clean sheets, hot water, 24 h breakfast and general atmosphere of the place that makes you feel comfy and welcome. If I come back to Kuching I... More
