The trip with Greenview Lodge was amazing! All people were so kind and did all that we have a good time.
 The safaris were amazing - the guides are well trained in finding animals :)

We were pleasantly surprised at how modern the rooms were great air con and large and comfy
 Communication about pick up was excellent organisation once were at the Lodge made everything very easy and organised the trips we did were excellent. The guys were very knowledgeable and really did the best to help find the big five unfortunately we only saw four but they pointed out lots of other wildlife and fauna. I would highly recommend this to anyone. We are in our 50s and thought it was amazing

The staff were great and informative on the trips and what we were likely to see.

The room was very clean, comfy bed, recliner chair and excellent shower.

The choice of food was great and we were well catered for our vegetarian meal.

The best of all were the boat trips, our guide was brilliant at seeking out all the wildlife that we wouldn't have seen without him.

We had a brilliant stay from start to finish.

Loved every minute of this trip. We did the 3D2N with the Sepilok Orangutan and Sun Bear add on and also the night cruise. We loved everything about it, it was really well organised and everything was on time and easy to follow. We ended up seeing 4 out of 5 of the Borneo Big Five thanks to our cruise guide Aloi with the highlight being a wild Orangutan which was amazing! Aloi was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny and we really enjoyed the cruises with him. Food was great and accommodation was lovely - all in all a really great experience I would recommend to anyone!

I really enjoyed the tour they organized. They are very well organized and friendly. It's a shame that we didn't get to see any elephants, but we still managed to see a variety of other animals.
 The first day was fantastic thanks to the guide. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the second day. A young woman guided us on the morning boat excursion as well as the jungle walk. Sadly, she didn't make the tour engaging at all. She didn't explain anything, and we were the ones spotting most of the animals ourselves. During the boat ride, she spent most of her time looking at her phone, and during the night walk, another group that had set off at the same time as us saw many animals and insects, while with her we only saw a spider eating a larva.
 When we pointed out animals or other things we had found ourselves, she largely ignored us. In general, she came across as quite arrogant, and at one point she even responded rudely to another guest.
 Despite this, it was still a great experience overall, and I would recommend it.
 I stayed in the 8-person dormitory. Unfortunately, there are only two bathrooms and two showers. In addition, the toilet is separate from the sink, which is located inside the shower area.
 The bed was very comfortable, and I slept very well.
 The food was decent, although we ate essentially the same meals every day: beef for lunch, chicken for dinner, and rice every day. There wasn't much variety in the main dishes, but the desserts and fruit selection did change from day to day. 
 Thank you for this wonderful experience

We got to see the probiscus monkeys in the jungle. There were two males we got to watch for quite a while. We also saw the dolphins we hoped to see. However, we didn't get great photos since they ate super fast. The guide had some good shots he shared with us.

Great trip! We saw Irrawaddy river dolphins, did snorkeling and saw one baby sea turtle. Nice lunch too and good explanations by Mr. Foo the guide.
