Borneo Jungle Adventure

De kleinschaligheid. Het programma, de mensen en het eten was heerlijk!! De avondexcursie is echt een must! De olifanten excursie daaraantegen is aan de prijzige kant

Alles was prima! Je zit midden in de jungle dus verwacht niet veel luxe, maar daardoor wordt het verblijf wel avontuurlijker. Een minpuntje is dat je geen schone handdoeken krijgt bij een verblijf van 4 dgn en 1 rol toiletpapier is echt te weinig!

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist super! Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, es herrscht eine fast familiäre Atmosphäre. Die Bootstouren waren sehr informativ und spannend. Das Essen war sehr gut!

Das wir leider bei der Elefantensuche (5h) keine Elefanten gefunden haben, der Trip war sehr hochpreisig. Das Team hat aber alles gegeben und versucht. Das ist eben die Natur und kein Zoo. Das andere Besucher während der Bootstour Netflix geschaut haben und Chips gegessen, trägt auch nicht zum Dschungel Feeling bei. Dafür können allerdings die Mitarbeiter ja auch nichts. Sie sind viel zu freundlich um darauf zu reagieren.

总体还行，但游京河向导在观动物观鸟方面还有提升空间，去那里的游客基本都是观动物观鸟，而向导基本不会主动找动物或鸟，也没有专业的讲解，都是我们看到了才让停船，这样会失去好多机会。

希望能在向导专业方面再努力一点

La struttura molto semplice ma sicuramente ben tenuta e pulita e le escursioni sono organizzate benissimo con delle guide sempre molto disponibili. Fate assolutamente l escursione alla ricerca degli elefanti perché se si riesce a vederli è qualcosa di incredibile! Il cibo davvero ottimo e tutto lo staff molto cordiale sempre.

Very friendly staff, food was very nice. Elephant boat tour was excellent, managed to see the Borneo 'five' with fantastic spotting by Marc and the team.

Given the cost, the food was quite limited and for an almost 6 hour optional tour it would have been good to have had some snacks provided with the two free bottles of water. We knew there wouldn't be air conditioning in our room but we hadn't appreciated quite how hot and humid it would be. The accommodation package is pricey for what you get in terms of the room and food. But the staff are all really lovely and make a big effort to make people feel welcome.

La comida espectacular y la situación donde se encuentra. Gente muy amable.

ALLES! De sfeer, de locatie, de ruimtelijke opzet van het verblijf, het personeel, de gids(en). Alles was perfect geregeld! Alles keurig op tijd, goed verzorgd eten, prima boten, iedereen heel toegankelijk en behulpzaam. Bedenk wel dat je in de jungle zit - dus de badkamer is basic maar dikke prima. Geen insecten binnen gehad.

NIETS! Bereid jezelf er wel op voor dat het hier heeeeeel klef is. Dus je hopt van airco op je kamer naar airco in de gezamenlijke (eet)ruimte. Tip: je kunt hier niet even een snackje ofzo halen, dus als je dat wilt neem het vantevoren mee. Er is nog een minishop voor je op de boot stapt. Wij hebben het totaal niet gemist, maar misschien jij wel :)

Location. Food was decent. Did see all the Big 5

Very basic. Nothing to do and nowhere comfortable to sit when not out on river. Felt like staff going through motions rather than really trying to ensure each guest had best possible experience. Had to pay extra to see the elephants whereas other lodges boats seemed to travel to them without extra charge.

J ai beaucoup aime les deux jours que nous avons passes. nous avons eu la chance que le temps soit beau et de ce fait avons profite des sorties proposées; Nous avons vu pleins d'animaux différents. l 'accueil est sympathique, les hotes sont adorables. les repas sont simples mais variés. l'emplacement est bien aussi; C'est au milieu de la nature. c 'est un peu rudimentaire mais ca va pour 2 jours; c 'est typique ! Les singes sont présents tout au long du séjour.

la chambre et la salle de bain meritent un petit rafraichissement; Tarif un peu elevé pour voir les grottes de gomantong.

Die Lodge liegt mitten im Dschungel. Die im Preis inbegriffenen Bootstouren waren super !!! Auch das Essen, die Transfers und das Personal war immer sehr zufriedenstellend!

OK, die Unterkunft liegt mitten im Dschungel. Trotzdem sind die Zimmer höchstens 2* Niveau..

C'est une petite aventure en soi que d'arriver jusqu'au lodge : le taxi vous dépose à la jetée et on vient vous chercher en bateau. Le trajet jusqu'à la jetée peut être long - nous venions de Semporna, il a fallu quatre heures de route (pour 500 MYR). Ça fait partie du voyage et on se sent presque plongé au début du XXème siècle. Les chambres sont un peu sommaires, avec un équipement minimum, mais il y a la clim et le lit est confortable. On ne vient pas chercher le confort d'un 4 étoiles de toute façon, mais une immersion dans la jungle, et c'est réussi. Il y a peu de chambres, on se sent comme dans une pension de famille ou chez l'habitant et c'est très agréable. Le personnel est charmant, notre guide Marc est drôle et connaît bien son sujet, la nourriture est bonne. 2 sorties en bateau sur la rivière par jour et d'autres activités en option, qui permettent de fréquenter la vie sauvage - il faut quand même un peu de chance, les animaux ont leur vie et n'apparaissent pas sur un claquement de doigt. Il vaut mieux prendre une formule 3 jours / 2 nuits ou plus pour multiplier les chances. Que dire de plus ? Super séjour !

Rien : le confort est sommaire, mais ce n'est pas ça qui compte. L'expérience en vaut la peine.

We liked everything, from the minute we were picked up from the hotel, the transfers, the food, the communal area, the room, the surroundings, the tours and most of all, staff were super friendly, funny and very accommodating.

Nothing to do with the accommodation, but we think tourism or government bodies need to do something about the pollution in the river.

Bello il contesto sul fiume. Camere spaziose. Lo staff super accogliente da 10 e lode.

Bagno da rivedere.

Un’esperienza generale davvero incredibile! La location è immersa completamente nella giungla e, nonostante la struttura sia molto basica, offre un’atmosfera unica e autentica. La guida Mark è stata bravissima e ci ha regalato un’esperienza fantastica: abbiamo visto elefanti, scimmie e molti altri animali. Anche tutto il personale è stato molto gentile e disponibile. Nel complesso, un’esperienza davvero speciale e assolutamente consigliata per chi vuole vivere la giungla in modo autentico.

L’unico vero punto negativo è il caldo nella stanza: il ventilatore è praticamente inutile e, con queste temperature, sarebbe necessario un ventilatore più potente oppure, ancora meglio, l’aria condizionata.

Da disponibilidade dos funcionários, que nos ajudaram com o transporte para Semporna, do nosso guia Marc e Rossi que foram incansáveis na tarefa de nos mostrar os big 5. A comida era excelente, não faltava nada, mesmo no meio da selva 😊

My room was at the end of a row and wonderfully quiet. The rooms themselves are not particularly soundproof, but everyone goes to bed fairly early as the first activity starts at 6:30 in the morning. I really enjoyed the activities, especially the river cruises. The included food was excellent throughout my stay. Compliments to the cook!

This may partly have been down to my expectations, but seeing wildlife in the wild is much more difficult than I had anticipated. There are also additional charges for some activities, such as the elephant search. At MYR 450 per person, I thought this was very expensive for essentially two extra hours, especially as wildlife sightings can obviously never be guaranteed. Fortunately, we did manage to see the elephants. There are many different companies in the area offering similar packages. I booked quite late and was simply happy to find an available room, so I did not compare prices beforehand. Especially for families, where an optional activity like this can become very expensive, it may be worth comparing the different packages before booking.

Très bonne expérience. Pour notre part nous avons fait 2 jours et une nuit. Nous avons adoré les tours sur la rivière. L’équipe se rapproche au maximum des animaux tout en restant respectueux de leur environnement. L’hôtel organise les transferts depuis Sandakan / Sepilok au point que vous souhaitez. Les équipements sur place sont simples mais correctes (sans oublier que nous sommes dans la Jungle). Les repas sont également compris. La nourriture est satisfaisante.

De dieren waaren cool.

Niks

Camere belle e pulite, cibo buonissimo e staff eccezionale. Marc, la nostra guida, ha fatto davvero la differenza: simpatico, gentilissimo, preparatissimo e un vero amante del suo lavoro, ci ha coinvolti con passione e divertimento e ci ha fatto amare ancora di più questo posto meraviglioso. Grazie a lui siamo riusciti a vedere tutti i big 5 :) Spero di riuscire a tornare prima o poi!

Amazing tours, friendly staff and fantastic food. They cater to special diet restrictions really well.

A little overpriced and you had to pay a lot more to go and see elephants.

Le personnel, tous les animaux sauvages autour du campement

Logement très basique

Struttura pulita. Ottimo cibo e acqua sempre a disposizione. Le camere sono ampie e dotate di fan o AC. Il personale è stato molto disponibile e cordiale. Molto ben organizzati anche per i trasferimenti da/per Sandakan. Optate per il soggiorno di 2 notti/3 giorni così avrete più opportunità di avvistare i big5 del Borneo.

L’avvistamento degli elefanti pigmei è un escursione a parte e costa 450RM. Con le escursione incluse nei pacchetti non c’è la possibilità di avvistarli perché al momento del nostro soggiorno gli elefanti si trovavano a una ventina di km di distanza dal lodge.

Lodge pulito e ben tenuto. Cibo vario e di qualità. Staff molto disponibile. Siamo andati per la nostra luna di miele e ci hanno fatto trovare una torta, un bouquet di fiori per mia moglie e hanno trasformato una serata qualunque in una serata karaoke con tutti gli altri ospiti del lodge! Ci siamo sentiti coccolati. Presenza di aria condizionata e bagno privato. Acqua depurata direttamente dal fiume per i servizi. Grazie a tutti!!

Nulla in particolare.

El alojamiento está en mitad de la selva lo que hace que sea encantador. La habitación es amplia y sencilla adaptada al entorno. La comida estaba deliciosa y las mujeres que estaban allí eran encantadoras. Buena organización del transporte, nos bajamos del avión y ya estaba un chico esperándonos. Pudimos ver en el lodge gatos, monos y lagartos…además un día estábamos en la habitación y un guía ( que no era el nuestro) nos tocó la puerta para avisarnos que estaba el orangután casi delante nuestra.. fue increíble!!!

Cuando contraté este lodge, hablé con ellos para ver cuáles eran la excursiones opciones. Me hablaron de una que me llamó mucho la atención como es visitar un pueblo ya que nos encanta ver como vive la gente local. Me dijeron que aunque solo fuésemos una noche no habría problema en hacerla, que ya sacaríamos tiempo, así que me quedé tranquila. El día que llegamos nos ofrecieron las excursiones que había y le dijimos al guía que queríamos hacer la del pueblo, pero nuestra sorpresa fue que nos dijo que no daría tiempo. Después de nuestra insistencia dijo que si queríamos ya haríamos un hueco que la haríamos al día siguiente después del desayuno. Nos quedamos contentas y tranquilas. Al día siguiente hicimos el crucero diurno y nos dijo que al final no iba a poder ser, que no daba tiempo (cosa que no puedo entender porque ya habíamos quedado en eso). Con nuestras caras de pena nos dijo que aunque sea iríamos a ver la escuela, (les habríamos traído unas cosas a los niños y niñas ya que cuando hablé previamente con él lodge me dijeron ellos mismos que les haría mucha ilusión) no era la excursión que queríamos, nosotras queríamos vivir toda la experiencia pero al menos la escuela era mejor que nada. Pues lo sorprendente vino cuando después de desayunar estábamos con nuestras mochilas, y simplemente vino un chico a buscarnos (que no era nuestro guía) y nos llevó de vuelta al embarcadero. Nadie nos dio ninguna explicación de por qué ni siquiera fuimos a la escuela. Puede parecer una tontería pero para nosotras era importante y si no llega a ser por eso hubiera sido una experiencia increíble en un entorno precioso.

Location was amazing with focus on the wildlife which is why we were there. Staff were amazing and tour guides made sure we saw everything we went for, often being the first or only boat there. Highly recommend.

Very little

Struttura organizzatissima nonostante sia in mezzo alla giungla sulle rive del fiume, staff cordiale e preparato. La nostra guida Marc é stato fantastico.

Abbiamo atteso un po’ all’aeroporto per riuscire ad arrivare lì, da sottolineare che la colpa era di un altra coppia di turisti in ritardo

Mitten im Regenwald, super Essen mit viel Engagement gemacht

etwas heruntergekommene Substanz

Wir haben drei Nächte bei Borneo Jungle Adventure verbracht. Pro Tag sind zwei Bootsfahrten inkludiert: eine am Morgen und eine am Nachmittag. Außerdem hatten wir noch einen inkludierten Jungle Walk. Die Bootsfahrten waren allerdings deutlich besser. Außerdem können wir eine Nachtfahrt für 150 RM pro Person empfehlen. Dort kommt man noch mal ein deutlich näher an die schlafenden Vögel heran und sieht auch noch teilweise andere Tiere und den Sternenhimmel. Wir hatten besonders Glück dass wir bereits auf der ersten Bootsfahrt alle Borneo Big Five gesehen haben! Besonderes Lob geht an unseren Guide Marc von dem wir viel über die Tierwelt gelernt haben und der auch immer einen Witz parat hatte. Außerdem muss man erwähnen dass die Bootsfahrten meist etwas länger als die angegebenen zwei Stunden gingen. Das Essen war ebenfalls sehr gut. Es gab immer Fleisch/Fisch mit zwei Sorten Gemüse und Reis. Für Vegetarier wurde eine besondere Mahlzeit gekocht. Für einen Gast der Geburtstag hatte wurde sogar eine Geburtstagstorte gebacken.

Das Zimmer hätte einen neuen Anstrich vertragen können und ein Fliegengitter im Badezimmer wäre ebenfalls gut gewesen dass man auch besser lüften kann. Die fehlende Klimaanlage hat nicht so stark gestört, da es nachts gut abgekühlt hat.

El personal y el guía encantadores. Vimos varios elefantes, monos narigudos, pájaros, cocodrilos, nutrias… de todo. Está en medio de la selva. La mejor comida que probamos en Malasia

Habitación sin aire, entraban mosquitos a pesar de tener mosquiteras y las ventanas cerradas. Baño olía muchísimo a humedad

Right by the river Guides were so keen to make our stay enjoyable and get to see plenty of wildlife Food was great and they catered especially for my vegetarian wife Team was so friendly

We did upgrade to Air-conditioned room which was a bit expensive but worth it Maybe Wi fi in the rooms but it was good on terrace

Lodge molto tranquillo, ottima accoglienza ti fanno sentire in famiglia, buon cibo cucinato al momento. Stanze grandi un pò da rinnovare ma nel contesto del luogo ci si può passare sopra. Molto silenzioso. Durante le crociere organizzate da loro siamo riusciti a vedere tutti i big five del borneo, siamo stati fortunati a vedere l'orango anche se da molto lontano, inoltre abbiamo visto anche le lontre e i macachi. La guida e il ragazzo che guida la barca si sono impegnati molto per trovare tutti gli animali facendo anche durare di più le crociere. Ben organizzati per i trasferimenti di arrivo e partenza, a me hanno aiutato a trovare la soluzione per raggiungere la mia tappa successiva

Wifi funziona solo nella zona comune

La posizione della struttura, la gentilezza ed accoglienza dello staff , pulizia e cibo ottimo

Bagni nelle camere potrebbero essere rinnovati

La situació i les activitats en barca.

Instalacions totalment abandonades i deteriorades. Brutícia per tot arreu.

Great facility. Good value for money. Great guide (Marc) and staff. Food was good. Slept well.

Basic but didn’t need more

The only positive part of our stay was our fantastic boat guide, Kay. He was incredibly talented. He made the boat tours enjoyable and was the highlight of an otherwise very disappointing experience.

This was by far the worst overnight stay I've ever experienced. The room was filthy, with visible mold and unidentified growth on the bedroom walls and bathroom floor. It clearly hadn't been cleaned properly and, in my opinion, posed a serious health risk. I'm genuinely surprised this property has received positive ratings based on our experience. I would not recommend staying here. For the same price there is a luxury resort nearby.

Fantástica estancia en mitad de la selva. El hotel tiene todo para estar a gusto y pasar unos días muy buenos. La comida bastante buena y nuestro guía Marc, el mejor. Los recomendamos 100%.

Buena comida, buen trato por parte de todo el personal y de los guías Marco y Rossi que te hacían sentir como en casa. Excursiones muy completas y divertidas.

La cama no era muy cómoda.

Lo mejor de este hotel es su ubicación, es el hotel más lejano de la civilización. Marc nos hizo especial nuestra estancia y su mujer nos preparó la mejor comida de los 21 días que pasamos en Malasia.

No esperes grandes lujos, con la ubicación magnífica de este hotel te permite ver animales desde el restaurante.

Excellent staff Amazing wildlife Good activities Decent food

Facilities very basic and old but clean enough

Jak na dżunglę to obiekt spełniał oczekiwania. Nasz pokój super. Łazienka troszkę gorzej, no ale jak na warunki dzungli I tak dobra, prysznic, toaleta, umywalka. Posiłki w ośrodku bardzo smaczne, domowe jedzenie. Wycieczki po rzece super. Transfer bardzo dobry. Plus za kameralny pobyt, wycieczki tylko kilka osób. Jak pływaliśmy po rzece widzieliśmy inne lodzie przepełnione turystami.

Ośrodek mógłby dbać bardziej o czystość łazienek zeby nie zniszczyć ich.

We booked the 3D2N package with Borneo Jungle Adventure, including accommodation in a lodge with fan but no AC, airport transfers from and to Sandakan, three delicious home-cooked meals per day, coffee, juice, tea and water all day long, one jungle day walk, and the daily river cruises. From the very first pickup until the moment we were dropped off at the airport, everything was perfectly organized. The entire team works together like a well-oiled machine, yet they make you feel as though you are part of their own family. The hospitality was simply outstanding. Every single staff member welcomed us with genuine warmth, kindness, and beautiful smiles. It is rare to meet people who care so deeply about making their guests happy. And the food… honestly, some of the best we have enjoyed anywhere in the world! Every meal was freshly prepared, incredibly flavorful, beautifully varied, and clearly cooked with love. We looked forward to every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The cooks were even kind enough to share a few of their recipes with me, which I cannot wait to try back home. Thank you so much for that special gesture! The two daily boat cruises (6:30 AM and 4:00 PM, approximately two hours each) were another highlight. Our guide, Mark, together with our boat captain, worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible wildlife experience. Their knowledge, passion, and sharp eyes made every trip exciting. We were incredibly fortunate to see 4 of Borneo’s Big 5 wildlife species. Sadly, we did not see orangutans in the wild, but that is simply the reality today, as they have become increasingly difficult to find due to the ongoing loss of their natural habitat. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a private en-suite bathroom. Although there was no air conditioning, the fan was more than sufficient, and we slept very well while enjoying the authentic jungle atmosphere. We’ve had no insects or geckos in the room!

An AC in the room would make the stay really comfortable

La posizione. Immerso nella natura. Le escursioni sono state molto belle. Il cibo molto buono. La camera ampia e pulita.

Avrei dotato le camere di aria condizionata ed aggiungerei una piscina per ingannare il tempo tra una escursione e l'altra, sono stato anche in Amazzonia in un posto simile a questo e li c'era una piscina a disposizione dove potersi rinfrescare ed aspettare l'inizio delle escursioni. Essendo molto caldo ed umido ed essendo le camere sprovviste di aria condizionata, l'unica cosa che si può fare nei momenti morti è attendere nell'area comune dove vengono serviti i pasti sotto ai ventilatori sperando di non essere aggrediti dalle zanzare.

An incredible adventure in an extraordinary place - a must-do when in Borneo! You’ll have a very immersive experience because you’re located right in the jungle, so it’s common to see animals such as monitor lizards and macaques wondering around the site. The food is delicious and plentiful, and takes into account dietary requirements. Best of all, the guides, Kai and Marc, are highly knowledgeable about the wildlife and local area, and they speak excellent English. They facilitate magical rainforest experiences.

My bed and pillows were pretty hard and my back was in a bit of pain afterwards. I’d recommend replacing them.

Le guide est vraiment top, ainsi que l’emplacement au milieu de la jungle ! Les repas sont bons

Les chambres sont rustique et la salle de bain laisse à désirer, on a l’impression qu’on essaie de nous prendre de l’argent pour tout : des jumelles pour 2h à 8€ ? Il faut payer 100€ de plus pour pouvoir voir les éléphants… L’enfant présent crie à répétition et nous jette de la terre dessus sans que les parents ne disent rien

The location is wonderful, the staff are the nicest people , the guides really know their stuff and the food was good and plenty of it

L'immersion dans la jungle

Des structures vetustes. Manque d'animations, de vie en dehors des activités et options.

De lodge ligt op een prachtige lokatie midden in de jungle. Van te voren een paar keer gemaild met hen en ze reageren meteen. Het is heel makkelijk om er te komen, we werden opgehaald uit Sandakan. Terug werden we meteen bij het vliegveld afgezet. Het eten was heerlijk. De Safari tochten zijn goed geregeld. We hebben mooie dieren gezien waarbij 3 keer Orang-oetans, heel bijzonder.

Het enige wat ik kan bedenken is dat het iets beter onderhouden mag worden. Het was allemaal een beetje smoezelig.

Es la experiencia completa de la jungla. Lo recomiendo si esto previo está en los planes. Muy amables los locales.

Muchos bichos, algo normal en la jungla. Recomiendo llevar snacks. La comida es limitada, si eres especialito, puedes pasarla mal. No hay muchas opciones. Pero todo casero.

tout était parfait Big Up Markinioo Karlitoo BiiBi et toute la team 👌🏼 des guests incroyable excursion 100/100 surtout celle de nuit nous recommandons x25 La nourriture était incroyablement bonne.

The staff were amazing!! So friendly and the food was delicious. Sadly didn’t see much on our river cruises but that wasn’t for lack of trying! No aircon but the fan was powerful enough as long as your windows were open which have a bug screen. Good wifi in rooms and communal area.

Only issue for me was the pillows were rock solid but I still slept ok!!

Sehr schön im Dschungel gelegen. Die Verpflegung war gut. Die Bootsafaris waren sehr schön und man konnte viele Tiere in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung beobachten. Die big Five von Borneo habe ich sehen können. Marc ist ein toller Guide! Auf jeden Fall würde ich am Kinabatangan nur diese Lodge buchen.

Leider hat am Abend eine Party stattgefunden mit lautem rumgegröle und Karaoke singen in einer unglaublichen Lautstärke bis in die Morgenstunden. Da sollte man schon auf die Gäste Rücksicht nehmen, schließlich kommt man in den Dschungel um die Ruhe zu genießen und die Dschungelgeräusche zu hören. Es war eher wie in einer Diskothek und an Schlaf war gar nicht zu denken. Da es sich an den anderen Abenden nicht wiederholt hat,ist es für mich dann in Ordnung gewesen.

Absolutely wonderful stay. The location is close to river bank, in the jungle, quiet and peaceful. Our guide Kai was very attentive and knowledgeable, I really enjoyed every boat trip with him. All staff is very friendly, and food was plentiful and always yummy. My spacious bedroom had a fan, what was effective and quiet. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for adventure on Kinabatangan river.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike.

Everything!

Nothing!

The place is incredible, right in the jungle and near the river, you can see monkeys and squirrels all day long and at night the wild civet cat is coming to eat cigales. Marc was an amazing guide, he really gave all his heart to help us find all the animals possible to see, with him in two days we've seen all big 5 including Elephants and orang-outan

Good hosts and helpful staff Great river cruise experience

Nice staff. Experience guides and boat drives.

The meals were delicious. The staff were helpful and very courteous . We had Marc as our guide and his knowledge of mammals and birds found on the river was exceptional. We had a great time staying there. My wife had a birthday while staying there and the staff even produced a birthday cake, they went over and above our expectations.

Air conditioning would be helpful, but the overhead fans worked well.

Marc el guía nos acogió muy bien y nos hizo pasar una maravillosa estadía, las salidas diarias en barco fueron increíbles, vimos muchos elefantes, cocodrilos y monos

Es un poco caro (debes agregar una salida en barco de pago para buscar los elefantes por ejemplo).

Lovely communal area to eat and relax. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff were absolutely lovely and the food was superb: freshly cooked, generous portions and varied. We particularly enjoyed the aubergine curry and the beef rendang. We had a really lovely two days here and saw loads of wildlife. Highly recommend as very good value for money.

The flying cicadas at night.. but what do you expect if you’re in the jungle.

Amazing location and the communal area is great

I thought the property bathroom was lacking. The public bathroom was fine - if the property bathroom had been the same, my score would be higher.

Die Lodge liegt am Fluß im Wald und verfügt über einen gemütlichen und offenen Ess- und Aufenthaltsbereich. Es gibt drei Mahlzeiten am Tag. Frühstück, Lunch und Dinner waren hervorragend. Auch der Service war sehr gut. Wir haben die Bootsfahrten und das Wildlife mit dem Bootsführer und dem Guide genossen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten. Dass die Zimmer recht einfach waren, hatte hier für uns keine Bedeutung.

Es war alles in Ordnung!

Fantastic experience only accessible by boat offering a authentic experience. We were very lucky and managed to see the big 5, Bornean orangutans, Pygmy elephants salt water crocodiles, proboscis monkeys and rhinoceros horn birds. Food was good and the staff were amazing.

I think the boat trip to see the elephants should be added to the price at booking so everyone could then experience what was the highlight of our stay

- great location - good food - helpful staff

- rooms are below standard - bathroom and rooms need updating - lack of ventilation in rooms

The river location was great. It certainly was a jungle adventure. The river cruises were exceptional. Lots of wildlife . Staff were very accommodating, the meals were very tasty.

The accommodation was very basic. It is a hot and humid area so difficult to cool off.

We loved our 2 nights in the jungle. The central area is great, lots of tables & chairs & lounges. The staff were lovely. Mark & Kai the guides were great and tried to spot wildlife for us. Unfortunately we didn’t see any elephants or orangutans. Lots of crocodiles, monkeys & birds. We even found some otters which was fantastic. A fun experience.

Rooms are basic and the bed and pillows are hard. Bathroom is pretty run down. All part of the jungle experience

Hele leuke staff, geweldig eten, mooie locatie, gave tours!

Geen airco in onze kamer, maar hoorde wel bij de experience in de jungle.

Good location Very clean Confortable room Very nice staff

Die Freundlichkeit und hilfsbeitschaft.ist wirklich erwähnenswert. Es gab sehr gutes Essen! Die Touren auf dem Fluss waren sehr gut arrangiert. 👍 die guides sehr bemüht Borneos big 5 zu finden, damit man tolle Fotos machen konnte.

Man sollte in sachen zimmer nicht zu viel erwarten, man ist schließlich mitten im Dschungel.

Fantastic remote location in the jungle, accessible by 2 hour drive from Sandakan plus a 10 minute boat ride (they will pick you up from a hotel or airport). Wonderful guides Marc and Kai were so knowledgeable and friendly, and went out of their way to ensure we saw lots of wildlife - we were able to see the Big Five during our 3D2N stay. Delicious meals, comfortable room, Starlink WiFi, just a great place to stay and I can't wait to come again someday.

Lovely big beds but the pillows could have been softer.

Die Lage am Fluss ist wunderbar und die Bootsfahrten waren sußergewöhlich schön. Unser Guide Kay war sehr freundlich und sehr gut im Tiere auffinden. Das Essen war sehr gut.

Der Guide war super freundlich und erfahren!

Es wäre schön gewesen, wenn noch mehr Platz zum chillen gewesen wäre, z.b. Hängematten

Nice staff / knowledgeable guide / cooking ladies (loved my extra sambal per request)

Out of five activities 3 had shaved off time hike : 45 min in stead of 90. Elephants searching 3.5 hour in stead of 5. Morning cruise 30 min in stead of 120. Luckily I did see the big five so the experience gor saved by the animals. But it’s very unprofessional to make people wake up at 6 when you only head out for “early morning cruise” at 7:45 in stead of 6:30.. just a shame cuz most animals are more active during dawn / dusk.

Das Personal war durchgehend freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Verpflegung war mehr als genug. Kaffee, Wasser, Tee und Saft war inklusive. Andere Getränke, wie Softdrinks und Bier müssen gekauft werden. Preislich völlig im Rahmen. Die angebotenen Touren waren wirklich beeindruckend. Die Guides stammen alle aus der Region und geben sich wirklich Mühe. Wir haben die big five von Borneo gesehen, auch wenn es dafür natürlich keine Garantie gibt, da man hier in der Wildnis ist und man nie weiß, wie sich Tiere verhalten.

Für alle sensiblen Schläfer ist empfehlenswert ein eigenes Kissen mitzunehmen, da die Kissen dort sehr hart sind.

Séjour magique Un coin de paradis sur terre l' emplacement exceptionnel, le personnel au petit soin, très accueillant,arrangeant , à l' écoute . La chambre était propre . La nourriture est très correcte et variée merci aux cuisinières . Les activités comprises ou proposées sont fantastiques,en pleine nature seule au monde loin de la foule ,du bruit . Les sorties bateau ou on voit de nombreux crocodiles,des singes de race différentes, des oiseaux magnifiques et une flore exceptionnelle . Un grand merci à Marc et rossi pour leur bonne humeur ,leur gentillesse ,leur accueil quel bonheur d' avoir pu vivre ces moments exceptionnels a leurs côtés. Un vrai exemple à suivre Ils se sont démenés pour nous montrer le big 5 . Je recommande a 1000 %

Rien

Die Organisation war super, von Abholung über Versorgung bis zurück bringen, alles top. Wir haben die big 5 von Borneo gesehen und Orang Utan. Sogar einer der im Gras saß, das hat der Guide sogar bisher nicht gesehen. Einfach toll. Die Bootsfahrten morgens und abends sind inklusive. Andere müssen extra bezahlt werden. Einer der schönsten Sonnenuntergänge dort erlebt.

Meilenweit nichts, auch kaum Tiere an der Unterkunft, außer vielleicht mal die normalen Affen und ein Waran.

Great location fabulous food our guide mark and boat driver rossy were outstanding. Communal room comfortable and unlimited water and hot drink and juice.boat trips twice per day included and outstanding scenery saw 4 out 5 Borneo and Mark tried his best to find elephants. Even provided packed breakfast as we had to leave early. All staff went above and beyond to make us welcome.

Rooms need deep clean and very basic no aircon but fans work well . Be prepared you are in the jungle.

primer de tot la ubicació del hotel es excelent en mig de la jungla. l’excursió per veure animals va ser fantastica i el nostre guia en Kai era un guia excelent, ens anava avisant de tots els animals i era un expert en la fauna del riu. Però el millor de tot va ser el tracte del personal. Era el 30 aniversari del meu promés i ens varen preparar una festa d’aniversari que va fer d’aquest dia tant important i tan lluny de casa un dia inoblidable. Gràcies gràcies i gràcies, mai oblidarem BJA!

Best place to be there. The two boat trips have been super, Lukas was very good guide. A lot of spare time, bring something to read with. Good Wifi at the main Hose and in the rooms.

Night tour was again 150 R. That is too much. But you come very close to birds. The smell of the toilet cleaner was also in the room

Personeel zette alles op alles om het naar je zin te maken. Kamers waren schoon en eten was super lekker! Tip: Neem een goede camera mee, de tours zijn voornamelijk vanuit de boot en je moet dus flink inzoomen (wat met een iPhone 14 Pro niet goed genoeg lukte)

Het verblijf alleen al is super duur. Niet inbegrepen tours verdubbelden de kosten bijna. Huren van verrekijker kwam hier nog bovenop, wel een must, want je ziet zo de dieren het best.

Niesamowite miejsce w dżungli. Natura, natura i jeszcze raz natura! Rejsy były bardzo interesujące, a przewodnik opowiadał wiele ciekawych rzeczy. Udało nam się zobaczyć Wielką piątkę Borneo!
