Close to the animal sanctuaries. Loved that they will happily refill your water with filtered water. The showers/toilets were plentiful and never had to wait for one. They were also kept pretty clean. Strong AC and water pressure. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything in good condition. Spotlessly clean. Efficient friendly staff. Excellent value for money. I am over 55 and travelled alone, so was a bit hesitant to book a dormitory room. But I need not have worried as the quality and cleanliness were wonderful.

Staff were not forthcoming with information about tours provided by the lodge.
Lovely spacious rooms and clean bathrooms in a beautiful natural setting. The breakfast is delicious and the lodge is very close to all the main attractions. Great WiFi as long as it is working. There is a pretty cheap restaurant across the street if you don't want to pay for the buffet dinner.

“A nice getaway with some problems”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Checkout is at 10am for some reason and there's no breakfast while their restaurant is really expensive. Wifi doesn't reach to all of the rooms so you have to sit in the outside lobby in the heat to effectively use internet. It's rather expensive but they are one of the few games in town.
The rooms were really nice and the atmosphere is very peaceful being essentially in the forest. The bathrooms were some of the most modern I have used when staying at hostels in Borneo or Indonesia.

Wifi in rooms would be good. Breakfast finishing at 9 is a tad early for a sleep in?
Great location about 700m from the Rainforest Discovery Centre & 1100m from the orang-utan centre. Wifi only at reception but worked well. Breakfast was solid. Dinner menu OK but better restaurant literally right over the road and we saw most guests eating there every night. We had a dorm all to ourselves which was spacious and great value.

We stayed in dorm room and we missed some wardrobe or locker where we could keep our personal belongings. We had to leave all our stuff on the floor. The plugs on the desk where we could charge our phones didn’t work that much and also the showers in the bathroom.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially girls on the desk. They helped us to organize our trips, transport, they kept their area nice and clean and you always could see the smile on their faces. We also liked a lovely garden around. All facilities were super clean.

If the main reception foyer had a fridge to store things like fruit it would be faultless in my view.
Brilliant place - impeccably clean, organised and top location. Site has a small shop for snacks and water, there is a site restaurant and another local run restaurant opposite. All the main centres are within walking distance and Grab also operates from there I noted. Shuttles and other tours organised at the desk on request. Highly recommend.

Beautiful well kept grounds and spotless accommodation. Excellent air con and freshly cooked breakfast. Walking distance to all 3 centres. Perfect location for all ages. Strongly recommend doing the night walk but you need plenty of mosquito protection and a torch. This place is a proper little gem.
