Exceptional value for money excursions. And I mean *exceptional* - 3 river cruises, 2 walks and 3 meals cost just 360 Ringits ($85) which is amazing. The accommodation is also great value for money, staff are friendly and welcoming. Everything like the aircon works, which is vital, in the heat. Great place.

The room was very clean and comfortable with modern furnishings. I think they may have recently redecorated the rooms as the furniture looks a lot different (more modern) to the photos. The location for the kinabatangan river cruises was perfect. The river is about 20m away from the accommodation and makes it easy to do the river cruises. We opted for x4 cruises in total and saw lots of different animals including proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, crocodiles and various birds. JD was our guide for all 4 cruises and he was fantastic at spotting the different animals. I recommend if you're staying here that you book your ruver cruises through the bnb, for convenience but also because the prices are significantly cheaper than if you were to do it online. There's also a nice restaurant on the premises where you can have lunch, dinner etc

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The food was excellent, with a great variety and quality. Service throughout the property was good—staff were friendly and attentive. I was especially impressed by how eco-friendly the place is; it's clear they prioritize sustainability. A special mention goes to the guide, who was absolutely amazing—extremely knowledgeable and made our experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Do not expect anything fancy but the ratio value/price was excelent. The rooms are simple but beds are comfortable. It is not a lodge by the river (you have to walk for app. 5-10 minutes to get to the river) or in the middle of the rainforest but you get an excellent guides who are proffesionals at spotting the wild animals. We have seen elephants, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys and longtail macaques on our cruise. We havent seen orangutan on our morning jungle walk but the other group saw them by the cave and the staff organised a special trip just for us (for no extra fee) to the cave in the afternoon so we could track them. And yes - they were there! so if you prefer the experience over the quality of the accommodation (dont get me wrong, the rooms are just fine but simple), this is your place.

The room was amazing, super nice area, quiet and next to the river. People working there is very gentle and the food was great as well! We are vegetarians and we had a special menu, which was awsome.

We came to see Orang Utangs in the wild, wishing not to disturb them in their homes and approach passively. We got so much more. This camp is privately run by someone who keeps it natural rainforest and doesn't sell to someone making a palm oil farm from it. The people in this camp TRULY care about the rainforest, the animals, and their visitors. Main woman Linda makes sure you have absolutely everything you need at all times. Of course, you are in the middle of the jungle, so wifi only in the common area (but there is wifi in the middle of the jungle!) and there is no jaccuzi. But once you're over that it is 100% perfection! A true rural jungle experience! We stayed 3 nights and already saw the big 5 the second day! Food was plenty, very very delicious with seafood and meat/ chicken/ and really exciting vegetarian options too! Timings: Arrival day - 1pm lunch, 4pm 2h boat tour on river, 7pm dinner Typical day - 6:30am 2h boat tour, then breakfast, 1pm lunch, 4pm boat tour, 7pm dinner Check out day - 6:30am boat tour, breakfast, 10am check out and boat + bus to airport (takes ca. 2h) Top tip: if you love sweeties like me, bring some buscuits / chocolate / oreos

The 2 nights, 3 days I stayed here were some of the best days of my life! Absolutely incredible - we went for the nature and were not disappointed - we saw the Borneo Big 5 plus TONS more. Our guide Ryan was the best - his eagle eye and determination meant we were able to see all this. The staff were super friendly and catered for my vegan diet, accommodation is very basic but this is perfect for a few days off the grid, rooms were clean and comfy we even had a large Gecko for company :)

This is such an amazing place. The location is amazing surrounded by the jungle and the river. The staff was extremely thoughtful. Their coffee was good. The food was probably the best I have had during my whole Borneo trip. The cruises are great. Saw many wildlife including a wild Orangutan.. So amazing to be there. It has a cosy and homely vibe to it. I would definitely come back if I get the chance.

A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend...

A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend staying in a smaller family-run accommodation as you get a better personal service and excellent local knowledge. Early morning and late afternoon and night boat trips offer great opportunities to see the wildlife. We enjoyed walking round the local village, but there are not many places to eat out. We had all our meals at the homestay.

Amazing time on the river! This is a great place to stay.

Amazing time on the river! This is a great place to stay. Make sure you visit the Saturday/ Sunday market for a glimpse of local life. We would advise joining as many cruises as possible during your stay, to spot as much wildlife as possible. It seems the tours are all the same just the accommodation varies, so don’t worry about being on a budget. We did a 3D2N tour at sakau backpackers (we believe cheapest on the river) and it was absolutely amazing, comfortable rooms, but the important part was the great river cruises and passionate guides who would do all they could to hunt to find as much wildlife as possible. Out of 4 months in Asia, our time in Sakau and Sepilok has been our favourite.

The river cruise with a fantastic boatman and guide.

The river cruise with a fantastic boatman and guide. They did everything they could to please everyone and gave us plenty of time to take photos. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was simply fantastic!
