Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort
Lot 1, Kampung Bilit, Sandakan, 90200 Bilit, Malaysia – Great location - show map
The resort is really in the middle of nowhere so it's great they have activities planned throughout most of the day. The river cruises were great! Saw lots of monkeys (including orangutans!!!), a couple crocodiles, otters, and many birds. Our guide was really good at spotting minor movements in the trees. I thought dinner was pretty good and breakfast the next day was also okay. My room was really clean and all the power outlets and air conditioning unit worked. The staff was also really helpful in getting me to the resort since I wasn't going to be at their usual pick up spot, and they were very accommodating to my change in plans.

I didn't expect much from a lodge, but this one is a really great place! I loved the food, the staff, the surroundings (even the monkeys stealing your food) and the services provided

amazing location. good facilities considering we were in the jungle. Staff and guides were amazing. River cruises were really good. Kai our guide spotted animals we would never have seen on our own.

Room was lovely, very comfortable, spacious, AC & a fan, nice shower/toilet & mosquito nets on each bed. Very easy to get around the grounds too. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly.

Good fresh food, nice comfortable beds and nice guides. We had a really nice trip and saw some amazing wildlife.

This reserve is a fabulous location along the river. The staff are nearly all local and have great local knowledge. We were given a room overlooking the lake that we had requested on arrival BUT it was very hot and the air conditioning didn't work but we were moved to a much cooler room eventually. The food - the food includes local dishes and is cooked by locals. The temperature of the food is not important to locals, but when we explained that scrambled eggs were much nicer served warm they made an effort to do this. Overall the food was good -especially the local afternoon snacks The trips out on the boat were excellent - some trips you saw more wildlife than others, but it was always amazing to be out on the river

Fantastic experience, we were very,very lucky to see wild orangutans, large crocodiles, otters and lots of bird, on the river trips. The bungalows are very comfortable and ours was quite private. Guides and staff were great, staff hosted a little entertainment evening, dancing & limbo competition ! great fun. Food pretty average, but you are 'off the beaten track' ! Met some lovely people. Really enjoyed our stay.

The price incuded transport to the hotel and to the airport as well as jungle trakking and river cruise. Our guide was very helpfull and enthusiastic person. We had the opportunity to see many wild animals eg. hornbills, eagles, crocodiles, elethant, many types of monkey like Proboscis monkey, Long taile makkakis.

Great location overlooking the river, spacious room with ensuite. Food was lovely, good variety as well. Our tour guide Kabir was excellent and we spotted plenty of wildlife!

We did the 3d2n packages and it was wonderful. The chalets were lovely and clean and cozy and the location is perfect. We had a brilliant guide called Ben who did all our tours with us. He was very knowledgeable and he spotted so much wildlife for us and explained all about the animals in really excellent detail. He really looked us extremely well. The other staff were also very kind and really welcoming. It felt like a family. The food was very very good! I would highly recommend this accommodation!
