I had an amazing stay at Tuan the home! Ismail and the locals in the village made me feel so welcome and showed me so much kindness! I got to attend a local traditional sports day during my stay which was such an honour and a unique experience! This place is great for connecting with nature as there are rice paddies surrounding the village which look stunning, especially at sunset! The homestay tasks are straightforward and will only take up a couple of hours in the morning leaving the rest of the time to explore the local area!

My experience in the home was unforgettable . First of all, the tasks were really easy and I had a free time to explore the place . Also , Ismail and his family were really helpful and friendly . They even invited me to a family ceremony for a childbirth so I learned a lot of things for their culture , which was really interesting . The place is really quiet and near to nature . I totally recommend this experience to other volunteers .The only thing that you should know is to rent a bicycle from here to explore the town as it is a little far from the center .

Volunteering at the home was a great experience. Ismail, the owner, is kind, open-minded, and always ready to help. The work was fair and flexible, allowing time for personal tasks and exploring Sabah. Most guests are local, making it a great chance to connect with the community and learn about local habits and culture. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a meaningful, balanced volunteering experience in Malaysia.

Host, Ismail, is a beautiful soul with a relaxed welcoming nature, provided comfortable accommodation in a calm atmosphere. My tasks were mostly "handyman style", some repairs and painting, also carpentry projects, usually taking place in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day where possible. Ismail encouraged exploration of the local area... There's Rice field walks, beach sunsets, produce market or family run food stalls/restaurants, and hiking to scenic viewpoints in the downtime. A great experience overall, a beautiful reminder of what travel can be.

I had a wonderful time at the home and wish I could have stayed longer. The tasks were easy and enjoyable, giving me plenty of time to soak in the beauty of the area. The village itself is stunning, and the people are incredibly friendly and hospitable - I even had the amazing experience of being invited to a local wedding! Ismail is a great host - friendly, relaxed, and always up for a good chat. He generously share knowledge about the Bajau people and Malay culture, which made my stay even more enriching. The amenities are basic but more than sufficient. I recommend it!
