AI Summary
Convenient location near the river and accessible via road. Exceptionally attentive, friendly staff catering to guests' needs. Disappointment with breakfast quality, including frozen and chemically-laden items.

This place is falling apart, completely run down. The garden is nice and from outside the huts look ok, once you go inside it's just indescribable. Mold everywhere, almost no water pressure, etc. They could make it so much better with so little (painting the walls, new mattresses and beds would do it) but instead they are building new huts across the road. Meals are basic but ok, the biggest problem again is lack of cleanliness around. The state of the cups they provide is unbelievable (once again, with very little they could provide new cups as the ones they provide are by no means presentable). The reception is abandoned except during meal times and they sell no drinks there. The only good thing apart from the garden, was the tour guide. Nice, very knowledgeable and paying close attention to any animals around. We decided to leave one day earlier.

We stayed for one night in this Bed and breakfast. It’s to the river and not too big. In the afternoon we take a river tour which also booked at the B&B. They served a diner wich was very tasteful. The beds a comfortable and the rooms clean but simple. The people over there were friendly and helpful. In the morning also a breakfast witch was simple but oke.

A fairly basic room but the bed is surprisingly comfy. Everyone there is so friendly and the food is amazing. We had 3 river tours (afternoon, night and morning) and saw all sorts of wildlife. We saw 3 out of the big Borneo 5 on the first river tour (crocodile, rhinoceros hornbill and proboscis monkey)! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and great at pointing things out and getting the best angle to see. Great value for money!

We stayed overnight here and enjoyed 3 river cruises, 1 dinner, and 1 breakfast. Although we spent next to no time in our rooms, we were happy to find them to be clean! The bed was actually really comfortable! The meals were basic but tasty, filling, and just what we needed when on the go. Upon checking in, the staff even enquired about allergies and dietary requirements, showing a nice level of care and attention. Our guide was Alsam (sorry if I got that slightly wrong, I’m so bad with names) and he was a rockstar! On our first cruise alone we saw 3/5 of the big five!!! He was so knowledgable about the local area and its inhabitants. I loved how he was able to answer pretty much any question we had! Things which didn’t bother us, but you might want to note: no WiFi, cash only, towels are provided but bring your own toiletries or purchase them from the on-site store. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and experiences here, hope you do too!

We booked 3D2N. Which is actually less than 48h as you arrive around 3pm, have 1 full day and leave the next morning before 9am. The river cruises were very nice but don’t expect to see any elephants unless you pay an extra 150RM per person (we negotiated for 100RM). They advertise that you will have a chance to search for the elephants but the truth is they are very far away from that area and you need a special ‘private’ boat to take you there which was very misleading information and not communicated to us until the last cruise. If you’re coming to see the elephants it’s probably best to book single cruises and night stays instead of the full package. Nonetheless, you do get to see a lot of wildlife on the cruises and the guide is very nice. The breakfasts were poor, dinner was better. THERE IS NO WIFI. Make sure you take cash as there is NO CARD PAYMENTS available and the nearest ATM is 30min drive away. That’s if you’re lucky, because when we went there all the ATMs were empty and we ended up bank transferring them the amount after numerous conversations and nearly missing our bus. The rooms were nice, as expected for the price. Lots of nice cats and dogs, although the dogs should be fed more as they all seemed to be starving. Staff were nice.

I booked a 3d/2n package directly with the lodge and communication was smooth. The only exception was that I specifically requested size 45 rubber boots for the jungle walk by email but these werent available when I got there. Ended up having to wear my running shoes and cleaning them afterwards. The room is comfortable although a power socket by the bed would make it even better. Plenty of hot water in the shower and good pressure. Towel was a little stained but seemed clean. A/c worked well. One thing to be aware of is that this lodge is very close to the road so you will hear cars regularly while in the room. It doesn't feel remote at all until you go out on a river cruise. The cruises were great and we spotted plenty of animals (elephants, orang utan, monkeys, colourful birds, baby crocodiles). The staff were all amazingly helpful and friendly. The weakest attribute was the food. It consisted of tiny portions of chicken with rice and vegetables. Only had dessert with one out of three meals and it consisted of 6 tiny bananas. Breakfast consisted of noodles, fried egg, one small sausage and sliced bread on the first morning and second morning was the same but without the noodles. They should seriously consider offering a meal upgrade option....something I would have happily paid 200 ringgit for. All in all, this place offers excellent value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Con un par de detalles mejorarían mucho. Por ejemplo, a nuestra llegada el baño estaba sucio (taza sucia y el suelo lleno de bichos muertos y barro, se notaba que no lo habían limpiado). La habitación es amplia y agradable con el aire acondicionado. Las almohadas muy altas y duras y como sabana hay una especie de toalla. En alguna ocasión nos quedamos sin agua en todo el complejo. No hay wifi. Reservamos el pack de 3 días y 2 noches por 550 ringgits, incluye 4 cruceros en bote y 1 caminata por la selva, además del alojamiento y comidas. Decir que el guía Lan que realizó el crucero nocturno fue muy bueno, ¡era impresionante cómo podía ver a los animales! El otro guía con el que realizamos el resto de cruceros se esmeró menos, y un detalle que no nos gustó es que fumase durante los cruceros. Si estás en plena naturaleza no quieres tener a alguien al lado fumando con olor a tabaco y no quisimos mirar dónde terminaron esos cigarros. En resumen, con un poco de limpieza y dedicación la experiencia mejoraría un montón.

Bel posto semplice e adeguato. Il mustang é la gita in barca consiglio più di una noi abbiamo avuto una guida super simpatica e competente un ragazzo giovane che vive a Sandakan con un nome americano. Ci ha dato la carica e fatto vedere molti animali. Complimenti consigliato
