Probably the best place to spend a night in Lahad Datu as everything was very clean and our host Mr. Teo went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. There are several day tours available, e.g. to Kinabatangan river. We didn’t know otherwise would have probably booked with them. The pool and breakfast were also great and Mr Teo made sure we had good suggestions for the other meals. Great stay overall!

The owners, Dina and Robert, are very lovely people and such good hosts. They help you a lot making your stay in Mulu unforgettable. They are also happy to share some stories about life with you. The rooms are basic but includes everything you need. In the jungle you don't need more. The breakfast is good. At the last day, Dina showed us a traditional dance and we could wear some tradiotional clothes. It was a nice experience!

The room is big, clean and comfortable. The bed is cozy. I really love the environment. It only takes less than 5 minutes from the cabin to the main roads and to pekan Kundasang. No heavy traffic. There is also a nearby mini restaurant that sells Kundasang famous barbeque honey chicken wings. The aunty probably the owner of the cabins was really friendly and nice, Overall, i really love this place and would like to stay here again.

AA Homestay is close enough to the park entrance that you can run home & pick up forgotten stuff! So convenient! Albert & Mary are super friendly and kind, Albert even brought some forgotten items to us at the airport—where else does that happen?? The accommodation is simple (so, no A/c) but the fan works great and bathroom is en suite. I would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at D’Cave Homestay. Dina, Robert and their friends were very welcoming and staying with them in the evening for dinner together was like feeling at home. Their advice on tours and how to prepare us were really precious. It was an experience that we will remember as one of the best of our trip to Borneo.

The hospitality is super good. Uncle David and the staff are very friendly. It is fun to hang out at the balcony, chit chatting with them after meals, listening to stories from Uncle David. The longhouse Homestay is basic but charming, it has everything you need. Transport from and to airport, looking for activities to do, buying rice and pineapple and salt, they would help you with your request. Amazing and personalized services. People from small town who has the biggest heart!

We loved our stay here for a night before heading into the park for the pinnacles tour. Amazing food and great to chat to our lovely hosts. Everything was so clean and the bed was super comfortable. Great location halfway between the airport and the park and we really appreciated the help with our bags when we walked into the park after checkout!

Just 'down the road' from Poring Hot Springs, so a good location for those wanting to spend time at the Hot Springs (warning park closes at 16:00hrs, despite Sabah Parks website stating 17:00 hrs, so we missed the only attraction in town). A quiet location with very friendly host family. Each room had an ensuite but the kitchen and TV room were in common areas.
