It was a two hour land transfer from Sepilok to the jetty at Kg Bilit, where we took a boat across the Kinabatangan to Nature Lodge Kinabatangan. We stayed at the rustic and charming Agamid chalet, one of the only two that faced the river. Comes with twin beds, an attached bathroom and fan. We ended up selecting Nature Lodge... More

We did the three day two night trip, and feel that it was just the right length. We stayed in a non a/c Agamid chalet which was adequate for a 60 odd year old couple. After looking at the rooms, I would have chosen an a/c one, because their bathrooms are bigger and nicer, with a superior shower ( very... More

Most travelers stay here a maximum of 2 nights but we stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of our stay. The Agamid Chalet that we stayed in was roomy, clean and quiet. The guides were terrific on our hikes and boat cruises. We would highly recommend Mohamed, Helson or Ramzon who were all very knowledgeable guides but Mohamed... More

As others have said, the rooms are basic and not particularly clean. However, the staff, particularly the wildlife rangers, are lovely, the food was different every day and very plentiful and the trips were great value for money.

Stayed her with an Exodus group in Feb 2013. Beautiful chalet accommodation directly overlooking the river. Food was excellent, but because of the small number in the hotel at the time, the choice was a little limited, but that did not spoil anything! Highly recommended

We stayed in the ensuite Agamid chalets with excellent fans but v expensive air con. We arranged pick up with the office at KK as it is only accessible by boat across the river. You get a... More

Had 3 days/2 nights package and it was right decision. We fly from KK to Sandakan and back and left our big suicase in KK. Transportation from/to Sandakan airport worked well. Activities were great and guiding and all the staff excellent. You must remember that place is not five star resort, accomodation is very basic. The reason why come there... More

We did the 2 nights package, and thought it was really good value! Days are packed with excursions maximizing your change to see wildlife- we saw elephants, crocodiles, tons and tons of monkeys including Macaques, Proboscis, Orang Utang, Hornbill and other birds, snakes; tons of other small mammals and insects and, the icing on the cake, a Tarsier during the...

We had booked a deluxe chalet, full-board, with wildlife tours included. The wildlife activities were all excellent. Our accommodation was not only basic but unclean, including stained towels & bed linen. The room was not serviced during our stay and we had to ask for clean towels. Overall this was quite expensive for Malaysia and compared very poorly to facilities... More
