"Very tired resort that needs some investment. Nothing terrible, but nothing great, other than the location. Pool water was not clear, and only about 9 sun beds for the whole place."

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good"

Hotel Meliden

8/10 Good

"A basic hotel used as an overnight before our Kinabatangan River trip. Excellent value for money and in a good location for us."

Sepilok B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night so that we could do the night walk at RDC. Only 5 minute walk away. Breakfast was lovely and access to a drinking water machine meant we could fill our flask. Needed in the heat! All in all, very nice stay."
