My girls and I enjoyed our stay here, we took the hike up the Dutch hill as the local call it bukit Belanda. Daytime river cruise where we saw a crocodile and 3 species of hornbills, and some long tail monkeys. It was a relaxing trip.
We also enjoyed the array of food served 4 times a day during the duration of our 3 D 2 N stay.
The owner and staffs were very accommodating and kind making sure our stay was comfortable and memorable.
Our final trip was to visit the Gomantong cave, on our way back, we experienced the encounter of a orang utan in the wildlife.
I would recommend this place to nature enthusiast and a change of scenery from the city.

Nice getaway from city life
Liked · Great service from the staff! Very yummy cooked food.
Interesting activities like jungle walk, river cruise and kampong walking.
Disliked · It’s a little isolated from every where else, it’s basically a lodge in the midst of a river and kampong. Wouldn’t recommend staying longer than 2-3 days as it gets boring after a while. Lots of mozzies in the jungle so do bring lots of insect repellant!

I and my friend visited the Kinabatangan wildlife lodge. We love this peaceful property and the staffs were also very professional. They offer a lot of activities like jungle trekking, night walk, River cruise morning and evening, caving and local cooking class. We did the evening cruise to see the wildlife especially the Orangutans. The evening cruise is the must-do activity if you are staying at the lodge. The reception manager was able to arrange that for us. The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. I will be travelling again and for sure will stay at this lodge again.
