"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."

Tanini Sepilok (Formerly Nature Lodge Sepilok)

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful! Credits to Hannah and Winnah who were so caring from checkin to our departure! We lost our luggage and they were so caring. Working with the airport staff and asking for updates and when we finally got the luggage back, they were so helpful and checked in with us to make sure we were okay! They also gave us great recommendations on where to buy the essentials when we got there without our luggage and we also wanted to mention the restaurant staff was very attentive as well. Thank you so much for the care and we can't wait to visit again! "
