We had an excellent ‘deluxe’ chalet overlooking the river, with excellent views from the veranda (which included a spa bath). The chalets are well furnished, are comfortable, and have a great bathroom, with an excellent shower. As expected no air conditioning (all the power is locally generated) but this is a close as you get to 5 star accommodation in... More

If I could rate BRL higher than 'excellent', I would. We stayed here for three days, two nights at the end of a trip to Malaysia and Borneo and we weren't disappointed. The location, rooms and food at this Lodge are outstanding and the staff are considerate, attentive and friendly! My husband was unfortunately quite unwell during our stay (a... More

Great venue with super staff. The treks through the jungle were excellent - the guides were extremely knowledgeable and if you showed interest (we did) much more was provided. The catering was excellent with wide range of good quality and fresh food available. Game viewing was fun ... quite alot of aggressive elephanta action + good sighting of orangutans

We (young couple) have spent 3 nights in a Deluxe River View room which we had booked online from home. Driving there: 2.5 hrs in a jeep...if you are lucky you will spot animals on the way to the lodge/ Room: Jacuzzi (great after a sweaty walk in the forest), spacious, clean, bed very hard / Staff: Everyone there is...

Stayed here with my wife for 4 nights, and it was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Borneo. After a 2 hr drive on a track through the rainforest I wasn't sure what wad coming, but as we arrived I realised it was going to be good.....I was wrong, it was amazing. We upgraded to the deluxe bungalow,... More

Stayed here with an Exodus group in Feb 2013. Couldn't fault the accommodation, food or location. Superb location in the middle of the jungle (we did need ear plugs to sleep with all the jungle noises just outside our room), the food was first class, and the bungalow was just perfect. Highly recommended!

We have a 4y, 3y and 1y old and were debating whether or not to go to BRL in the middle of jungle. We decided to do so as it is a very unique experience. All turned out very well! Staff was very helpful. They did have a baby-cot as well as high chairs in the restaurant. Although not needed... More

Everything about this place exceeded expectations. We were picked up promptly in Lahad Datu and driven to the lodge. It's about a 2 hour drive, mostly through the rainforest on an unpaved road which is in quite good condition. We saw elephants on the road along the way. The free standing, individual cabins are quite nice by any standard. They're... More

We took the 4 days/3 nights package and then wished it had been longer. Everything about this experience was excellent. The staff, the food, the lodges and the guiding, from being picked up, looked after and then dropped off again at the airport a few days later was a joy. Do go for the deluxe lodges, pay a bit more,... More
