26.10.05Good near to gadong mall. Easy to check in and check out and this is what i really like about this place.
26.09.05If you are on a budget, and would just need a place to sleep since you will be out most of the times to explore Brunei, this homestay can be considered. The hotel is conveniently located near The Mall and Gadong night market.
26.08.29Good location, close to the night market — easy walking distance for food and evening strolls.
Room is small but works fine for a solo traveler at this price point.
Downsides: there was an unclear/off smell in the room, the toilet was broken during my stay, and the sheets weren't clean. Walls are very thin — you can hear absolutely everything happening in the neighboring rooms.
Overall okay for the price and location, but manage your expectations on cleanliness and noise.
26.08.14No drinking water is provided to guests. The bathroom is very tiny, dirty and water is leaking everywhere. There is no room for a shower. Also no toilet paper is provided either. I will never stay at this hostel again.
I believe other guesthouses in Brunei are same shit, different smell.
Bruneian city council should inspect all hostels/hotels before they could be rented out.
Poni Homestay provides filtered water to guests, and free simple breakfast to start the day, as well as a free airport transfer both ways to and from the airport. The bathroom is decent enough for a shower. Also toilet paper is provided and they have a cheaper price. However, it is about 30 minutes drive from Gadong, where travelers could wander around, and enjoy a night food market.
26.08.10Very worst experience
