Stayed here for the normal 3 days/2 nights and on reflection would like to have stayed longer. The staff were great, friendly, attentive, relaxed and enjoyed a laugh. Our boat navigator / guide Uding (Ding Dong as he was known - I wonder if he knows of Leslie Phillips) was fantastic. Our first afternoons river trip was curtailed because of... More

This place was the best part if our 2 week Malaysia holiday and exactly what we were hoping for. Picturesque scenary and a great tour guide meant we really made the most of our short stay. By the end, the bugs and insects got a bit too much but I guess they are unavoidable if you want an authentic experience.... More

Our family of 5 recently booked and went on a 2 day wildlife adventure program on the Kinabatangan River at Bilit which is about a 2 hour drive south of Sandakan, Sabah. We didn't know what to expect when we arrived at Bilit as we had been recommended the trip by a family member. The accommodation was basic, but comfortable,... More

The guide told us it was his second encounter in the years he was there (around... More

Stayed here for a night as part of an organised tour. We had 2 river cruises included and a walk to the nearby oxbow lake. We turned down a night walk as the weather had been poor during the day and we expected there to be poor conditions. The room was very clean and tidy, with comfortable beds, effective and... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. The accommodation was basic but very comfortable. The air conditioning was great to have, the bed was comfy and the shower ok. We saw plenty of wildlife and were lucky enough to see the elephants which was a highlight. Unfortunately it rained for almost all of one day so... More

I stayed here for two nights in September 2011 and I cannot fault our experience. Our guide, Rony, was fantastic and he went out of his way for us. He even made his way onto the muddy bank of the river to check for elephant tracks. Through his sheer determination, we were one of the few (if not only!) groups... More
