Sukau village view stay and backpackers offer different activities including river cruises and jungle walks. The guides are brilliant, really knowledgeable and clearly love what they do. We were lucky enough to see all 5 of the big 5 on our river cruises, the highlight was definitely seeing the elephants crossing the river! Everyone at the hostel was really welcoming friendly and helpful, and we definitely recommend this as a base for exploring the Borneo rainforest. Meals are available too and the food is really tasty. There are also local restaurants along the river - we went to Restaurant Simpang Tiga (next to the hostel's jetty) and can recommend this too

We had a great few days at this Homestay. The family of Mr Bam was great. The river was high which made this Homestay a bit more comfortable than some on the river (some flooding). We did a lot of cruises and saw a lot of animals 4/5 of the Big 5. The water levels made seeing crocodiles very difficult as there was no terrain for them to hang out. Rooms were rustic but comfortable. Overall a great experience! Thanks!

Affordable but comfortable place, very near to the river. I was sick (nothing to do with the property), and staff insisted on checking up on me regularly. Boat tours are great, and several times per day, and you only pay for those you choose to go on. Saw fantastic wildlife.

Our stay in the Borneo Jungle Adventure lodge was nothing short of spectacular! From the seamless pick-up and drop-off from Sandakan to the incredible activities arranged by the lodge, every detail was perfect. The lodge itself was well-equipped and comfortable, and we were thrilled to find reliable WiFi in the common area. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the river cruises, expertly guided by Linda and her team. Their knowledge and dedication were evident, and they went above and beyond to ensure we saw the best wildlife the region has to offer, including the elusive Big 5. Linda's passion and expertise truly enhanced our experience, making each cruise an adventure to remember. A special mention goes to the food – the best Malaysian home-cooked meals we’ve ever had! The lodge graciously accommodated our vegetarian request, and every meal was a delightful culinary experience. This stay comes highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Borneo's jungle while enjoying excellent hospitality and thrilling wildlife adventures. Thank you to Linda and the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!

The highlight of our 3 week Sabah roadtrip. Can't recommend this place enough. Rooms are nice and clean, though basic, as one would expect in the middle of the jungle. The people who left bad reviews because of that reason really dont belong in nature. You can't expect untouched nature beside massive 5* resorts. Anyway the river cruises was by far the best thing we did in Sabah. All thanks to our Amazing guide, JD, who is super respectful of the animals in the wild. We could feel that JD truly cared for the rainforest, and its inhabitants. He knows exactly what to look for to spot different Species. We did 10 river cruises during our 5 days there, and both felt we could have kept doing more, as every river cruise was unique, with a new once in a lifetime wildlife encounter.

The TOURS! Our gude Rex was the best. He was very knowledgeable about the fauna in the area. You could also tell that he loves his job and he has a heart for conservation, especially the forests and the animals in it. He was also very concerned with his guests. We saw a lot of primates (including the Borneo Orangutan), birds, snakes, and a lot of borneo pygmy elephants because of Rex. He really made our three days very special because his competence and passion for his job, and giving a lot of information about the wildlife and forests in Sukao and Kinabatangan River. I highly recommend Rex and Sukao Greenview. It’s the best value for money place in Sukao. 👌👌👌

I cannot rate this place highly enough. Firstly the staff were the nicest bunch of people, who genuinely care that the guests have a great trip, and are passionate about the environment and the wildlife. Secondly, this is the only place in the area actually inside the jungle, rather than on the river. And that matters because you're much more likely to see an Orang utan in the wild staying here. We were lucky enough to see one, and the guys running the place were overjoyed for us. It was a truly breathtaking moment. And we saw monitor lizards and Hornbills causally wandering/ flying around. The guys running the place could not do enough for us. Also the food was great, and included. Travel is quite a hobby for me, I have been travelling the world regularly for over 30 years now and I have stayed in a lot of places, from luxury hotels to eco-resorts etc. This rates as high as any experience I have had anywhere. I wish there were more places run this well and with this much passion in the world.

    A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend...

    A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend staying in a smaller family-run accommodation as you get a better personal service and excellent local knowledge. Early morning and late afternoon and night boat trips offer great opportunities to see the wildlife. We enjoyed walking round the local village, but there are not many places to eat out. We had all our meals at the homestay.

    Amazing time on the river! This is a great place to stay.

    Amazing time on the river! This is a great place to stay. Make sure you visit the Saturday/ Sunday market for a glimpse of local life. We would advise joining as many cruises as possible during your stay, to spot as much wildlife as possible. It seems the tours are all the same just the accommodation varies, so don’t worry about being on a budget. We did a 3D2N tour at sakau backpackers (we believe cheapest on the river) and it was absolutely amazing, comfortable rooms, but the important part was the great river cruises and passionate guides who would do all they could to hunt to find as much wildlife as possible. Out of 4 months in Asia, our time in Sakau and Sepilok has been our favourite.
