Sukau Rainforest Lodge

What an incredible experience! From the warm welcome upon arrival (greeted on the jetty by staff and handed a welcome drink) to the informative staff on hand throughout our stay - it was one of our favourite places to stay in Borneo! We stayed in Villa 19 which was set a bit further away from the main area than the rest of the lodgings but that suited us, it allowed for a stroll along the wooden walk ways listening to the surrounding jungle and dodging bats at night. The boat tours are wonderful - we managed to see a 10ft Croc up close...(some would say too close) & the pygmy elephants at a distance! And then snakes, birds, monkeys along the way. Truly magical. Our tour guide was very funny and provided so much info along the way! The dining area is nicely presented and offers great views of the river as you eat and drink - but the food itself got a little repetitive and bland after a few days. But thats a minor detail. The staff were attentive and regularly cleared away tables and plates. The bar and pool areas (2 separate pools) were clean & peaceful and provide ideal spots to cool down and refresh with a cocktail or beer. There are also events and regular expert talks about rhe wildlife and history of Borneo - well worth sitting in on one evening We miss this place!

This is a once in a lifetime experience! Such a tranquil setting within the rainforest with its own walkway to explore and just stunning way to start and end your day dining overlooking the river. Such a serene experience wildlife searching up and down the river, so close to nature and the guides are bursting with knowledge, experience and passion. Rooms, families and staff…. It’s all amazing!

This was just a beautiful place to stay. Stunning views whilst eating your meals of the river. The rooms were huge and extremely comfortable. Great air conditioning. They went above and beyond on everything. The boat trips to see the wildlife. The guide Arwan was fantastic. The staff, happy to help. Just a dream place to stay. You sat on your veranda and watched macaques and other wildlife. My husband had a stroke and was in a wheel chair. We booked before the stroke. We had nothing to worry about. There wasn't anything we couldn't do. We loved the river cruises looking for wild life. We stayed a couple of days before going to our next resort. Each and every place just stunning. It made our dream holiday perfect.

Fantastic experience. We had a lovely time visitng the sepilok centre and the sunbear centre on the first day. Later that day we left by bus to get to Sukau. The lodge was beautiful, built inside the jungle on the side of the river. We did three cruises which lasted 1.5-2hours each. Managed to spot many proboscis monkeys and hornbill birds but unfortunately no wild orangutans or pygmy elephants. I would have liked to also do the jungle trek because i prefer to stay active but had only booked the two night package. I would recommend a three night stay for some extra time to enjoy the lodge and add an extra activity. Also, the food was truly delicious - many thanks to the chef. Also many thanks to our guide Vincent for sharing so much knowledge about the wildlife, the very friendly staff at the lodge and to our tour consultant Oviera Cyril who was super helpful and responsive during our online booking process. As a tip for things to improve, i could only sat that the room could have been a little bit cleaner. Generally top quality. Thank you.

We saw the Borneo big 5 during the 4D3N tour~so lucky, fantastic and unbeatable experience, really worth it, if you like the wild animals, there is the paradise. The resort will ring the bell if the Orangutan visit, there was 3 times bell during our stay, guests all came out no matter what they were doing, very interesting~ I will come back definitely
