Staff were welcoming and helpful, food was great and... More

“Best of the best”

We had the opportunity to go to Borneo Nature Lodge in the end of january (low season) and have the lodge entirely to our-selves. The staff, the management, the river trips, the animals, the guide. Everything was just great. Prior to visiting we had our doubts since the price was really high, but now, afterwards, we really see it as... More

“Amazing animals, comfy beds and super people!”

Reviewed March 14, 2013

We stayed here on 27-28 Feb 2013 and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Glen, 'The Mad Buddha' to his friends was very funny, knowledgeable and amiable. The lodge had a relaxing atmosphere, the staff were lovely and we had a sound sleep. The river animals are amazing! Cannot recommend this place enough! Would love to go back.

We stayed here in January 2013 and were happy with the pick up from Lahad Datu and the safe 2.5hr drive to the lodge.

“Jungle Bells”

I took my girlfriend and parents (retired) to BNL for Christmas. The accommodation was clean, relatively new and reasonably priced. Access to the boats was easy and safe for my parents and the staff were super helpful. For those who like their jungle in small, easy, doses this is a great place to stay. We had some awesome wildlife encounters... More
