Had a wonderful experience and such a highlight of the trip! Got to see all Borneo 5, most more than once, plus so many other creatures thanks to our amazing guides, Ivy and Zack. The itinerary was packed with activities and very well organized. Food was good, dorm was clean and environment felt comfortable as a solo female traveler. Pick up and transfers were on time and smooth. Highly recommend!

our 2D1N trip with the guided river cruise tour was excellent, we have a great group of people having the tour with, very skilled and easy going, nice tour guide,(Azizie) who explained very detailed about the animals out there, we saw a full herd of elephants enjoying themselves in the river, Hornbills, crocodiles and other birds and little snake during the night cruise. Our favourite was the early morning cruise, beautiful lights, good weather. the double (private) room is outstanding, we love that, i recommend it if you prefer comfort and private own space instead of sharing the same room with others- which im pretty sure a satisfying experience here at Greenview lodge, as well. Thank you for the staff as well for having us with good care. Highlight of our trip for sure.

Awesome experience, great guides and many animals!!

All in all it was a very nice experience. The Boat Cruises are very nice, we did the Elefant Searching tour with Roder and it was such a nice experience and he is such a nice Guide. The Coffee Time before the Morning Cruises was a bit short. Sadly was no warm Water in the lodges.

Probably the highlight of visiting Borneo for me. I’m the heart of nature. Got to see a wide variety of animals. Really enjoyed bring plenty of bug spray

Amazing river cruise experience in the jungle. Our guide Jack was very knowledgeable and found so many different animals along the river, including all the Borneo big 5! The package included a variety of activities, all of which we really enjoyed.
Our accommodation (twin deluxe room) was really clean and comfortable, with great air conditioning. The food was good, and as a vegetarian I was well catered for (after registering my dietary requirements, staff brought me a vegetarian option for lunches and dinners).
Transport to and from the accommodation was easy and well communicated, with friendly and professional drivers.
The whole experience was really well organised and we had an amazing time. Would recommend!

We had an amazing stay! The rooms were beautifully clean and comfortable, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. The food was also very tasty, adding to the overall great experience. During our trip, we had the chance to see around five different species of monkeys, which was an unforgettable experience. The guides were also fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help.
Our only minor point would be the price, which is quite high. Of course, it’s up to each guest to decide if it’s worth it. However, at this price, it doesn’t seem appropriate to charge extra for Wi-Fi, especially since it’s only available in the lobby.
Highly recommended overall!

We enjoyed this 3d/2n stay at Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit. It definitely felt like a great value for what we paid. The lodge is well organized and has a developed program for your stay, though it did feel like a bit of a machine processing you and it could have been more personal and welcoming. The river cruises were well done - they are really focused on spotting the Borneo Big Five, as other reviewers note, but try to ignore that and just enjoy whatever you see. The lodge is right along the river and the private room was large enough for two. Food was adequate and served by buffet - we especially appreciate that they had some tofu and vegetables set aside at each meal for vegetarians, though that wasn't clearly communicated. Flexible pickup and dropoff locations included Sepilok (so we could stay there the night before and just walk to the orang and sunbear sanctuaries before the 1245pm pickup).
