Iban Longhouse Overview

One of the most unique experiences in Borneo includes a stay at a traditional Iban longhouse. While sleeping arrangements vary, guests often sleep in the living quarters of a host family. Every family has their own section in a longhouse which typically includes a number of rooms, including a kitchen and bathroom. A communal area is included, a place for those who reside there to dine and socialize together daily. While it may not be a luxurious hotel stay with a wealth of amenities, it’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture and is often a highlight of a trip to Borneo.
