"Great Introductio to Judgle In Malaysia"

The staff at the lodge are very welcoming g and accommodating. My bungalow was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well.I was relocated to this property because the tour I booked which included other activities ended up being full at my original accommodation.My only downside was that construction was going in but the staff are wonderful a d the food very good.They offer a full program of nature activities which I appreciated.

"Amazing Experence"

I stayed here during November 2023 for a 3D2N trip and it was great! We stayed in the bigger dorms which had 3 bunk beds and to be fair they were clean, with mosquito repellent. The bathrooms could be better though as it was a shared one between the us and the other guests and was semi-outdoors. It didn't have water sometimes but was never fixed despite informing the staff about it. We went on a 6am morning cruise every day and an afternoon one, with breakfast included. The breakfast is a typical buffet with lots of food options.

"Amazing"

We stayed here for 2 nights. We were picked up from Sandakan by Alan, a really nice friendly driver, who took us on to Sepilok. There we had lunch (as we didn’t do the orangutan and bear sanctuaries with the company the lunch was not covered). We then had a two hour drive to the jetty on the Kitabanangan River.When we arrived after a short river crossing we were amazed by the place itself. They’ve done so well to incorporate the place into the jungle, it really did feel as though we were right in the heart of the forest.

Very good experience in Kinabatangan River. I highly recommend this resort to expend a few days doing different activities such as night walk in the jungle, boat cruise (if you’re lucky you could see Elephants). Good food, well cleaned!!!

"Orangutans and Elephants!"

Great boat tours, and night walks with friendly, knowledgeable staff. We saw lots of birds, orangutans, proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants! We were picked up from our hotel in Sepilok and taken straight to the lodge which was very convenient.

"The best nature and wildlife experience"

Very much alive with trees and wildlife. Its a must for nature lover and those seeking solace and sanctuary away from the busy and hectic city life. Staffs are very professional, our sales person Jane is easily contacted and very helpful during our trip.

"3D2N visit via Borneo Dream bookings"

Comfortable jungle amenities, well organised logistics, experienced punctual guide (thanks Mohamed!). Stayed in AC chalet, good food, gum boots provided for small fee for walks. Must bring - strong insect repellent and binoculars. Very lucky on river cruise to see heaps of proboscis monkeys, hornbills of all kinds, macaques, sea eagle, langurs and one huge croc (on last day thankfully, otherwise we’d be full of nerves). Walks - civet cat, frogs, owl, kingfisher, fly catcher.

"Brilliant Experience"

A fantastic experience and a great place to base yourself while exploring the Kinabatangan River. I did 3D2N. The hotel is nestled in nature, the rooms are clean, the toilets are clean and the food that is served buffet style in the restaurant is fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable and happy to help in every way. I highly recommend staying here.

"Kinabatangan River Cruise"
Such an amazing place. I had Mohammed as my guide and he is such a great guide, he knew loads about the wildlife and the jungle, as well as being able to spot everything! July, front of house, was so kind and helped me book my bud onwards. Great food and value for money!

"A once in a lifetime experience - thank you Mohammed!"

We booked through Borneo Dream and had the most wonderful experience. Our guide Mohammed was fantastic - his ability to spot animals from hundreds of metres away was so impressive and his enthusiasm for his job made the experience even better. Thanks to Mohammed, we managed to see the Borneo Big 5 - pygmy elephants, proboscis monkey, crocodile, orangutan and rhinoceros hornbill. It was an experience I will never forget. Our accommodation at the lodge was comfortable and spacious. The meals were good and there is drinking water available to refill water bottles.

"River Safari"

The guides were so knowledgeable about all the wildlife and pointed so many things out we wouldn’t have noticed. The receptionist was incredibly kind and friendly and the food was really good and had lots of options
