A totally amazing stay at this wonderful, friendly lodge, which was way above my expectations. The staff were so attentive and because I have food allergies were only too pleased to ask and consult on my requirements. My room was comfortable and the food was really really delicious. Sadly the weather wasn’t good at times and I wasn’t able to do as much as I hoped, but nobody can control the weather. The boat rides I had I saw the most amazing creatures and birds. Our guide Jal had XRay eyes, and spotted so many animals and birds for me to see. The boatman was also on alert at all times and assisted this elderly lady in and out of his boat. I cannot praise Walter and his team enough for an amazing stay.

One night stay whilst visiting Sandakan. Lodge has all the facilities you need but remember where you are, ie. The rainforest. Lodges have ensuite facilities and hot water. Wifi in communal areas. Meals were of good quality and quantity and there is a bar, what more do you need?

Un’esperienza favolosa. Il lodge è sulle rive del Kinabatangan, immerso nella jungla dove giornalmente si avvistano animali. Noi abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vedere l’Orango e gli elefanti a pochi metri dalla nostra stanza. Le camere, senza pretese, sono pulite e dotate del necessario… bisogna sempre ricordarsi di essere nella foresta! I pasti sono ottimi, noi siamo stati 4 giorni e hanno sempre cambiato i menù: poche pietanze ma ben cucinate e davvero gustose. L’atmosfera è magica, tutto lo staff è disponibile e sempre sorridente. Una menzione speciale (ringraziandolo di nuovo) a Jal, la nostra guida: è stato sicuramente un valore aggiunto, di una simpatia unica e professionalmente ineccepibile… in ogni crociera sul fiume ha sempre cercato, con passione, di farci vedere quanti più animali possibili (riuscendoci appieno tanto da permetterci di tornare a casa con tantissime foto di tutti e 5 i big five del Borneo). CONSIGLIATISSIMO

The tours provided were excellent and our guide did his best for us We stayed 3 nights too long once you have done the river at 6am there is nothing to do except sit in your lodge or the restaurant which is like a canteen We were misled with the itinerary which said for you to explore the surrounding area and local village in your leisure time You are taken there by a boat there are no forest walks or nearby village The rooms are very tired need painting electrical socket hanging off the wall no light in bathroom these were fixed when reported but shouldn’t have had to walk into that the bathroom was mouldy and old The food was given to us on a plate couldn’t choose The bar was closed only beer or wine in restaurant Until 20 Australian arrived the bar was opened and the food was a buffet all guest should be treated the same Do your homework looking for the best lodge

Amazing experience, we had 2 nights in the lodge and a night on Turtle Island. Food was good, rooms basic but clean. The people are lovely. Special thanks to Loy, our guide for making our holiday, knowledgable and caring. He took the time to make sure we were ok at all times, quite important for 2 females on their own. Thank you l!

I do want to share my dissatisfaction with the Borneo Nature Lodge service and miscommunication I experienced. My understanding was it seemed every other group staying there had a boatman and a guide. I was only provided a boatman. When I checked in, no one explained to me that a button needed to be pressed outside of the bathroom for hot water in the shower, which caused me to take an extremely cold shower. I was told the last evening, 30 min before the tour that I had an evening cruise and was told that my transportation would be picking me up the following day at 10am and to be ready by 9:50am. I had gotten up early to attempt to pay extra to search for the elephants, but at that time there was no available boats. I had decided to go ahead and have breakfast and make my way back to my room. At 7:40am, I got a knock on my room door that the transport has arrived. I had to take a few more minutes to get everything together. I was unaware that I needed to pay a tourism tax. So I paid and was rushed to the jetty. The transportation got me to the orangutan sanctuary at 10:30am, passed the feeding time, so I missed the orangutan sanctuary, which was really disappointing.

Stayed 2 nights here .First night was with a lovely lady from Vancouver .2nd night it was just us so we got personal service.Staff were very nice.Cooked us a nice English breakfast each morning and a local evening meal..Loved arriving by boat.Lovely setting in nature of lodge.Quite Basic but fine.No wi fi in lodge just near the restaurant .Went on several boat trips on the Kinabangan river.Very lucky to see an Orangutan on first trip.Ended up seeing the Borneo big 5 plus much more with our guide Ehrmon and boat driver .A highlight was an elephant swimming right beside our boat and following it for ages till it left the water.It was like being in a nature programme. I hope the Canadian lady sees elephant pics as tried to send her one by email but it wouldnt work. Highly recommended.

Fabulous welcome and made to feel at home as a solo traveler. Amazing surroundings. It was very quiet when I stayed as things were just starting up again after Covid, and really appreciated the time and effort given to me while I was staying at the lodge. Great food and would definitely stay again!
