this is unique for Malaysia. you have modern style like expected in Scandinavia (concrete, wood and glas). rooms are spacious and on lake side nice view. the restaurant is offering good dining facilities. but you are not feeling the rainforest because the main road is nearby. there is no pool (under construction) and rooms don't have balcony.

We stayed at the Belum Rainforest resort as the only choice for a stopover while traveling from the East coast to the West coast of Malaysia. We had booked rooms with lake view. Upon entering the room we found the the "view" was obstructed by trees. The room prices are charged at 5 star rates although the service and the... More

A nice hotel on a beautiful location but with one big downside, the reconstruction works! The resort is extending the capacity and adding more facilities to it but work runs from at least 9 am until 6 pm. If you don't mind the sound of power tools instead of birds singing then this is the place for you! Work should... More

the resort room is good but there is not much thing to do except kayaking and forest trail trekking. the charges for the activities of the resort is pricey. it will be nice to come with a group of friends. We enjoyed our stay here is not because of the resort but because we have fun ourselves with friends. there... More

We decided to try this resort when i was in Gerik. I was disappointed with the choice to stay there. The resort looks quite impressive from the outside but looks can be very deceiving. We arrived at 2pm and my room was still not ready but the hotel staff didn't offer us a welcome drink while waiting for the room.... More

Travelled from Penang with two other families and kids. We didn't expect much. But our stay turned out to be satisfactory. Great natural rainforest and clean air. Room condition is good and clean. Buffet dinner is better than expected. Breakfast needs improvement. Service is ok. Will consider to come again. More

This resort is situated on Pulau Banding, an island in the middle of Temenggor Dam which is surrounded by virgin forest. Driving to this resort from either way(Jeli in Kelantan dan Gerik in Perak) was quite challenging for me for the first time.It was a worthwhile trip and it was enjoyable for my family as it was a new experience......

Took a special 3 day / 2 night package from Groupon for a quick weekend getaway with a friend. The resort is located in a pretty magical place and has a really good location. What you see on the website is really what its like in real life. Alot of wood and bamboo which gives a very calming and natural... More
