I loved my jungle experience and stay in Borneo Jungle Adventure. Everything was very well organized; they took me from the airport, got me to the lodge and after two nights of staying there they brought me back to the airport. I didnt need to plan anything extra myself. The location of the lodge is PERFECT! Its a bit further down the river from the village and there is nobody around, just rainforest and wildlife. You can see many different animals, even very rare ones right at the yard. We were lucky to meet Orangutan at the backyard of the lodge!! The lodge itself was very comfortable and cute place. The common area where to relax, eat and observe wildlife is made comfortable and there is coffee, tea and water all the time available for you. The food was great, local homemade food. There was three meals a day and we were offered some snacks as well. You could buy a beer or cola as extra. Rooms were basic, nothing extra, but comfortable and had all you needed for your stay in jungle. If there was any other needs, the BJA team was helping immediately. During my two night stay we had multiple boat tours; two at morning and two at afternoon. We also did a walking tour at the rainforest. The boat tours were especially amazing, the boat driver Naen and lodge manager Linda are very talented at spotting different animals and they had so much knowledge about the wildlife and nature. We saw so many different animals! Even around the lodge the team members are always spotting animals, which are hard to spot for regular people visiting there. Last but not least the team of BJA is amazing and made my stay wonderful. They are doing everything to make sure your stay is perfect, comfortable and safe. I can totally recommend to stay with BJA if you are looking for relaxing holiday in the middle of the jungle.

Do not expect anything fancy but the ratio value/price was excelent. The rooms are simple but beds are comfortable. It is not a lodge by the river (you have to walk for app. 5-10 minutes to get to the river) or in the middle of the rainforest but you get an excellent guides who are proffesionals at spotting the wild animals. We have seen elephants, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys and longtail macaques on our cruise. We havent seen orangutan on our morning jungle walk but the other group saw them by the cave and the staff organised a special trip just for us (for no extra fee) to the cave in the afternoon so we could track them. And yes - they were there! so if you prefer the experience over the quality of the accommodation (dont get me wrong, the rooms are just fine but simple), this is your place.

It was more than the property - it was the overall experience that was amazing! The conservation focussed owner and has family went above and beyond expectations to ensure everyone was happy! They even organised private transportation for us to get there from Sandakan (cheaper then grab) and then personally drove us to Lahad Duta and got us mini bus transport to Tawau. The tours were great and only included their guests. We got to see so much - including Elephants up close. We chose all meals included and the price was a third of the prices I’d seen advertised as package deals. Whatever you need - just ask them!

Loads of activities on offer, well located and staffs very willing to help out to make stay comfortable

Very good location, comfortable bed and clean room with private bathroom. Nearby restaurant serves good meals, you can buy water and cola. River cruises are good, but... The morning one is too late in my opinion, it should start at 4 or 5 am. Definitely take the night cruise.

The place was amazing. Very friendly staff and always super good food. Surrounded by pure nature in a small village.

The attention to detail and care taken of the guests was exceptional - our guide was the best, what a great stay.

River tours and food was amazing, what a great place to stay and chill for a few days

Great location on the river and basic but comfortable rooms. The meals were good thanks to Yanti’s cooking. Yanti also helped to organise transport back to the airport.

This was a fantastic experience and stay - altogether. The attentiveness of Jason and the staff makes it feel like a 5 star hotel, whilst the location and rustic feel makes it feel like you are truly in the heart of the jungle. You fall asleep to a light breeze and the sounds of the jungle. My wife is pregnant and we were a bit worried about mosquito diseases - but Jason explained that the ridge at which the hotel is at has barely any mosquitoes because of the altitude. He also suggested a non deet mosquito spray that really works. We had 0 mosquito bites during our stay. I can’t get all the things into a review. But such a gem of a place. Thank all of you ❤️
