Osman is the guide! Osman really finds everything to see out there, he's really an amazing guide and a great person. We had interesting discussions regarding the wild life, environment and life as such. Really recommend staying with Osman and his family.

Carl Sweden

The very best experience of our whole time in Borneo. Osman and his family are truly wonderful people who made us feel very looked after and welcome. Yanti is an amazing cook and Osman an incredible wildlife spotter and genial host. Our room was clean and comfortable. A fan to cool things down, screens to keep the bugs out. If are are looking for a 4 star international hotel this won't be for you. If you are looking for memorable times up at dawn to watch wildlife on the river, peaceful times, good food and early nights you couldn't do any better than Osman's.

Jen United Kingdom

excellent hosts, Osmann is an unmatched Jungle guide. we have all animals, mini 🐘 proboscis monkeys, various monkeys, the long-nosed monkeys, many orangutang and much more. the food was outstanding and the price includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. the price for the river tour is RM 50, sensational. It was a special experience that I will not forget. very family atmosphere. Thanks Osmann for the great tour and thanks Yanti for the good food. Highly recommended this home stay

Mario Austria

Osman took us on a boat in the evening and also in the morning, show us a lot of wild life on the river (crocodiles, various monkeys ... ) and his wife prepared for us good food. You cannot reach his house with a car, it is possible just with a boat, but they will arrange it for you. Very nice family, we had a basic room but clean with protection on windows against insect. I totally recommend!

Nikola Slovakia

Osman is an excellent spotter! He managed to spot animals that other guides along the river missed. We even saw a flat headed cat ( a rare, endangered and tiny species), Osman spotted it in the dark from across the river using only a hand held torch! He is always telling jokes (so if you're a more serious person you might find it wearing). I was really well fed whilst there. They accommodated for me being vegetarian. Osman and his family looked after me (as a lone female traveller). I would probably go back to Osman's in a year or two when he has built his guest house which will have en suite toilets. Osman went above a beyond so we all saw the species we came out to see.

Jaquie United Kingdom

Osman is the best guide in Sukau. Highly recommend.

Jan Malaysia

River Cruises was excellent, Osman is really good to spot and showed us different animals in forest. We saw many different monkeys, pregnant pygmi elephant,many crocodiles, lots of birds and night cruise we even saw slow lorice, it was very difficult to spot at dark forest with flash light and binoculars, but Osman was patient and drived us different spots and showed it us until we saw it. Food was excelent every meal we ate. Osman and his wife Yanti was great hosts.

Mikko Finland

Superbe location at the kinabatangan river, friendly family, delicious food, clean rooms, Osman as an extraordinary safari guide (he takes you further than anyone else and shows you special places in the area). We felt warmly welcomed in his homestay and we can highly reccomend to stay there too.

Céline Switzerland

Osman and his family are kind and helpful people, Osman’s eyes in the river are just amazing, he can see everything far and hide! Good food and amazing talks

Annalisa Italy

Amazing Kinabatangan river Safari! Osman is an excellent guide - of course you always need some luck.. But we saw wild Orang Utan, Pygmy Elephants, countless birds and large crocodiles. The home cooked food was amazing as well - even for my wife, who is vegetarian. Osman also helped us organize transfer to /from the place.
