Wafi was great. He was very knowledgeable on the area and everything Brunei related. Having a washer and kitchen on site helped as I had been travelling for a while and needed both those facilities.

We arrived late night. Wafi arranged a pick up for us. He provided detailed information for sights and things to do, and brought us breakfast the day after we arrived. We went out together for dinner a day later. He answered any and all questions we had quickly and was even in contact via WhatsApp before we arrived. Everyone else at the house was also lovely.

It's basically being home, but in Brunei ! The house is very quiet and comfortable, our room was spacious and our host, Maya, was responsive, welcoming and very helpful. I would definitely consider Taman Mawar for a short or long stay in this very interesting country :)

Maya

Taman Mawar property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and is a 3-storey Guesthouse with 4 private bedrooms and shared kitchen, dining and living rooms. All bedrooms have adjoining toilets. The area is a short drive away from major landmarks in Bandar Seri Begawan: 15 minutes from the airport, 5-10 minutes to the city centre, Jerudong Theme Park and main shopping areas. There is a small grocery shop across the road from this residential area. Area is easily accessible via taxi, car or bus. There is a bus stop 300m from property, take bus no. 55 to get to the capital. The property is suitable for families and travelling couples.

My name is Maya and I host and manage this entire property. I like meeting people from all over the world and enjoy sharing the beauty of Brunei as a country with our guests. I have travelled extensively and lived in other countries, and now I would like to extend the same hospitality I have previously experienced with foreign guests. I stay nearby Taman Mawar and will meet you at the property to check you in upon arrival. Please let me know your arrival time in Brunei when you confirm your booking to stay with us because otherwise you will not be able to enter the property. I look forward to meeting you!

Nothing really - I rented a car so didn't have the location problems as other people did. Would recommend you rent a car if possible! There is private (and free!) parking at the guesthouse and it's a great way to see beyond BSB.

The location was not the greatest. It was away from the city center so Darts (Uber or Grab) were harder to get and took longer. On the flip side, there was a little bit more privacy here than there would have been at some of the downtown hotels.
Wafi was great. He was very knowledgeable on the area and everything Brunei related. Having a washer and kitchen on site helped as I had been travelling for a while and needed both those facilities.

Clean, spacious rooms with great aircon and WiFi. A little far from downtown BSB but easy to get around with Dart or public transport with a little help from the friendly locals. What really made this guesthouse stand out though was the owner, Wafi. Hands down the nicest, most helpful host we’ve had on our 7 month trip around SE Asia!

Place is a bit from city center, but there is bus stop very near. Getting to city center takes about 20 min.
I give 12/10 to this property. Waffi is super host and super friendly person. He invited us to his house to spend with him and his family Hari Raya. This was for sure memorable experience! After staying week in Waffi's place we fell as having new friend! Room in property is very spacious and comfortable. Huge common area and well equipped kitchen. Restaurant and grocery nearby.
