Bike and Tours Bed and Breakfast

I just want to leave a review for Bike and Tours, We just spent 35 days in Borneo and in that trip we stayed with Simon and his lovely wife Itisha and their staff, It was one one our best places we stayed in Borneo, The food was amazing with fresh products from their farm including their own juices, I don't write reviews very often for good or bad but I feel this is a review worth writing, Simon arrange for use to do a dive locally packed our lunch for us and what an amazing day we had. The house huge and is just full of character and it was great to that advantage of the swimming pool.

We wanted a comfortable place to stay for our last night in Sabah, after roughing it somewhat in the rainforest. What did we like about the property? In a nutshell, the people and the food! Tisha and Simon (and their helpers) are as friendly and hospitable as any hosts we have ever stayed with, and their home-cooked meals are off the charts. Our welcome was delightful, with warm, family greetings and delicious home-made flowery drinks under an awning. We were made to feel like a cross between VIPs and old friends. We played with the gorgeous household cats and relaxed in the quirky swimming pool until dinner. Tisha had been in touch in advance about food, and she had been incredibly solicitous about what we might want, but what she produced was remarkable. There’s not space here to go into detail, but the main dish was an extraordinary mixture of Malaysian with one surprising Italian ingredient, with a family story to accompany and explain it, made with the freshest, most aromatic ingredients from Simon’s own smallholding, complex without being fussy, and personalised to our individual tastes (eg level of spice). It was truly gourmet comfort food of the highest order; in fact as good as I’ve ever eaten. Starters and dessert were similarly fresh and home-made, and breakfast the next day - porridge oats with a range of home-made and local additions, served like a work of art - was impeccable. Our room (two big double beds with an en-suite shower room) was clean, comfortable and nicely air-conditioned and we slept well, but the reason to stay here is Tisha and Simon’s exceptional hospitality. I cannot commend it highly enough.

Can't speak highly enough about our stay at Bike and Tours. Such a fantastic warm welcome from Tisha, and linda who brought us our delicious welcome drink. The property is well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. We had a delicious dinner and breakfast, and also a fantastic night's sleep in an extremely comfortable bed!! Tisha and Simon are the perfect hosts and they have an amazing team working with them. Stay there, you won't be disappointed!!!
