We had a good stay. The location is ideal but the breakfast was too repetitive and staff there was not friendly and accommodating. They were more engaged with other staff members rather than the guests. The front desk staff was good and initiated conversations. This is important as I felt like he was ensuring that we were comfortable and happy.

We stayed in one of the newer units and the room and bathroom were clean and big. However, Expedia advertised that daily housekeeping is offered and water is provided daily which is not true. Expedia should verify with Nature Lodge and if they don't provide daily housekeeping, Expedia should update their listing. Housekeeping was responsive when I asked to have the room clean but that only happened once during our 4 day stay. There are a lot of stairs but they do provide a porter if you asked for one. There is usually no one at reception so the best way to contact them is via Whatsapp.

Despite several message to the hotel in advance. We received no reply regarding transfers and late check in. Our flight was delayed and we needed to check in late. Only that Expedia contacted them were we able to get this sorted. Even on arrival the staff could have been more helpful. The rooms were basic but clean and the location was easily within a 15 minute walk to the sanctuary which was good as there want always transport around ie Grabs available. The breakfast was very basic and we went across the road to the other hotel for dinner which was nice. All in all it was fine for a couple of nights to be close to the sanctuaries.

Good location for nature activities
This hotel is in a great location for exploring the surrounding attractions. Just a few minutes walk from the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries, and even closer to the rainforest centre. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the rooms are comfortable. The breakfast food was great, the dinner food was average. The nearby restaurants are overpriced and food is sub-par (except the one in the Rainforest Centre which I found to be really good). But you can order Grab delivery to the hotel so many options are available.

Great experience. The staff were very kind and attentive. The property is simple but clean and well maintained. You can tell they take pride in ensuring their guests are happy and their property is presentable. Meals at the restaurant were very good and affordable.

So Very Disappointed
After a lot of research we decided to stay here for 1nt on our travels around Borneo. ..Superb 9.0 was its rating. Let me assure you this accommodation is far cry from what was promised!! On arrival we had to drag our luggage up a huge steep stairway with no assistance. The place was characterless, the adjoining shop was closed, the restaurant was closed just a very desperate looking place, but hey-ho 'only for 1nt'. Checked in and shown to our room which again was another great slog of uneven steps. When we got to the room I could not believe what we were confronted with..the place was a building site immediately outside our room...please look at my photos.. unbelievable!! We checked out and sought another hotel. Receptionist agreed room wasn't acceptable and would authorise a refund which we will have to acquire through hotels.com which is the biggest disappointment of all, as it has taken 3months of calls and all they are willing to do is offer a voucher.. so no refund even though it was not fit for purpose. We found alternative accommodation at Sepilok Forest Edge and it was superb.
