We read a review of this place before we booked and it sounded like Mat Leon did wonderful meals and was really helpful to travelers and would also help with arranging tours etc. Unfortunately this was not the reality that we found! In fact we never even met Mat Leon until we were leaving the place to move on!! When... More

I stayed in one of the basic chalets and it was great--large and clean. Food at the restaurant was excellent. I took the two-day jungle trek with overnight in a cave. I was lucky and was able to join a group that had booked the tour. The guide was very good.

We decided on this place after reading rave reviews on tripadvisor for Mat Leon.On arrival, we were informed that he does not act as your guide and only takes people along when he has shortage of hired guides with him. Most of the activities included in the package did not even require the guide services. Rooms were terrible, with mosquito... More

We booked a 3 days, 2 nights package with chalet accommodation. Leon (the owner) is very welcoming (came to pick us up with his car as soon as we arrived) and was very available. Mat leon Village is located 10-15 min by walk from the jetty (center of the "village") which is very agreeable because it's surrounded by the jungle... More

We stayed two nights in Mat Leon Village in March 2012. The location is good if you want to be far from the crowd. The rooms are basic but fine. The staff are friendly and helpful. We did a long trekking tour with a very nice guide. We went to the canopy walk and then walked for about 5 hours... More

I'm just back from an amazing long weekend in Taman Negara, made possible by Mat Leon and our fantastic guide B.E. We were a group of 9 seasoned trekkers looking for an experience with a difference, and that is what we surely got. Mat Leon arranged a 2 night 3 day trek through a less travelled portion of the Taman... More

A very overdue review. I have never done any reviews on TripAdvisor, but our stay here had to have a mention. We decided to visit Taman Negara at the end of January after a few recommendations from some Malaysian friends.. and what a trip it was. Hands down the most exciting part of our Malaysian trip, largely due to our... More
