First and foremost this is not a hotel but an active field centre where you’ll find researchers and students amongst the visitors. Service is thus patchy as the property is not set up in the traditional resort sense. However, as a base, this is fantastic place from which to get deep into the heart of one of Southeast Asia’s greatest rainforests and see a wonderful array of wildlife.
The resthouse rooms are fairly basic but comfortable with fans and ensuite facilities. The meals on site are simple but good and they are served in the shared cafeteria, a hub for guests and researchers to swap stories from their days (and nights) exploring the beautiful 130 million-year-old Borneo rainforest.
Basic - The 'Basic' category covers places which are very simple indeed, with extremely rudimentary facilities. These places are used when they are part of the experience, such as a village homestay, or when there are no other hotels available in an area.
Include this hotel as part of your Experience Travel Holiday of a lifetime.

Customer Feedback
ETG's Matt was always accessible (even though we are based in Hong Kong) and efficient in replying. Will be happy to recommend and use him again! Our guide Bryant in Abai was a real gem. He was very polite, incredibly well spoken, informative, intelligent and gentle. He foresaw our needs, such as ordering chips for the children's lunch, and went out of his way to make things comfortable for us. He was a pleasure to spend time with.
