We loved our stay here. It's a perfect place to relax in the tranquility of the jungle. The boat trips were great and we loved the night walk. You can rent wellies and leech socks which was a plus. The food was delicious and the staff all exceptionally friendly.

- Simple and basic facility but perfect for jangle! - Staff are very friendly and helpful - Food was simple but very tasty! - I think the price is very very reasonable as it includes river cruse (early morning and late afternoon) and 2 hours walking. Plus staff are very good at spotting wild animals! We were so lucky to see monkeys, beautiful birds and crocodiles (big one and small one).

We loved the river cruises and seeing the animals which is why we were there. Night walk was awesome. Food was awesome and great for vegetarians.

From the moment our guide, Ben & our driver Moses, collected us from our hotel in Sandakan we were taken care of . Ben was so knowledgeable with excellent English. Ben took care of us every minute of our 2 night stay. We were lucky to be put into the brand new villas which were very nice with comfortable beds & pillows. They were very clean. The buffet meals were also excellent with lots of choice. All the staff were so nice & friendly. The daily boat tours were also excellent with Ben & our boat driver doing everything possible to find the wildlife for us & we were fortunate to see an orangatan, a pygmy elephant, numerous other different monkeys & lots of birds. Overall this was an excellent stay & an excellent experience.

“Nice but Not a Second Booking ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Sadly we were impacted by the virus restrictions. Having paid a lot of money for 3 of us to stay and do activities for 2 nights, we paid about $80 each per night just to stay there, no refund or discount. We were offered a 10% discount for the next place, but when we got there they did not honour that. They were very keen to get rid of us and we were happy to leave on the first available flight. They could have handled the situation with a bit of genorosity since we will be coming back to Borneo when things improve, but wont be using these guys or their sister resort.
The food is great and the guides / staff were lovely given the situation. The location of the lodge is fantastic and we saw a lot of wildlife there.

“Fraud! Dont go to this place!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
A complete fraud, never book this lodge! Room: very dirty, full of bugs with dust and lotion from previous guest underneath the bed. Very poor buffet, if you don t go first you re left with nothing to eat and the food is not even good. Dont think you ll get any privacy, we can hear all the talks and noise coming from the room in the cluster. Didnt sleep the whole night as we had drunk neighbours... Cruising along the river: always going to the same spot. Dont think you ll be alone... minimum 4 boats at the same time to look at a poor monkey. Management: when you tell them about the situation they almost laugh at you and dont offer any solution or any commercial gesture! Never seen something like this before Left a day earlier as it was awful; they made us waste a morning on purpose, making us wait for more than an hour in a van! Not talking to us or pretending not to understand, acting rude and being insulting. This resort is a proper shame, a complete lie and I will not recommend it to anyone!
Nothing at all.

“Great to see the animals”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
There is far too much free time in the day. We paid $640 for 2 people for a 3 day 2 night package. Which was only really 1 day at the camp we had hours to kill between boat rides, from 10 till 4pm and you can't really leave the camp. Some activities in the day need to be put in even a simple language class of Bahasa or some fruit tasting or something to break up the day or another boat trip mid morning. Also after paying so much money we shouldn't have to pay 20Rm to hire Welly boots!! That should be included. We also think while on the river that the boats should be making an effort to remove plastic and rubbish from the water with a net. If this was done every day by every boat it could make an impact. Also ''all inclusive" should include large 5 or 10 litre bottles of water in the room, not tiny little ones which just create so much plastic waste...
We loved the river cruises and seeing the animals which is why we were there. Night walk was awesome. Food was awesome and great for vegetarians.
