Lodges in Malaysia

"Gee Tatt, Muin and Osman were excellent hosts. They were welcoming, friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed interacting with the orang asli that lived in the area. Muin demonstrated to us how they used blowpipes and traps to hunt. It was a very enlightening and educational experience. Coming from a very hectic and stressful city environment, the soothing sounds of the waterfall and nature really helped to refresh us. We enjoyed the different varieties of breakfast every morning. They...

"Such a beautiful, reconditioned traditional Malay house set amidst rolling padi fields. The owner, Michaela, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and went out of her way to meet all our needs. She also makes the most delicious home-made sour dough bread!"

"Excellent rooms and restaurant. Wonderful staff who are very friendly and welcoming. Amazing location. "

"The most amazing stay. The kitchen excelled with all our food allergies and nothing was too much trouble for them. We saw wild Orangutans near the lodge. Only 4 rooms, so quiet and less mosquitoes than those places on the river. I loved my stay and highly recommend to others."

"Such a gem in Sabah, nice private beach and real infinity sea water pool!"

"Beautiful old buildings that have a rustic charm. Two adorable cats live on the property and visited us at our villa. The staff was also very cheerful and friendly, and made us feel so at home and welcome. We hope to visit again."

"I must say the host Nik and Suzy are fantastic... They are genuinely interested in your welfare whilst you board with them... I am going back for sure... Would highly recommend Spyder Hill for a weekend get away from city life... "

"Very conveiniently located for bird livers as only 600m to Rainforest Discovery Centre. Room is well designed with outsidet but secured toilets which is great for us as we could leave our cameras there during the night to avoid to ac condensation. Staff is hepful, food is ok. Only minus is the steps to reception and room."

"Room much nicer and bigger than expected (family room) with lovely views. Nice breakfast options and lots of trip options and lifts if needed. Limited food options in evening but food good."

"If you like a hotel with character this is the place for you. Reception staff were great, there is a pool where you can chill. Wifi was good and if you don't want to leave the grounds, nice reception rooms to read. Will be back.. "

"The property is basic, but well maintained and food is pretty good mostly. Beer available to buy. No wifi - but you can get a poor connection from receptionist's phone acting as hotspot. Friendly atmosphere. 3 days, 2 nights, equals 4 boat journeys, 1 day walk and 2 night walks. First 2 boat trips were disappointing - didn't see much except same monkeys who hang around camp. 3rd saw orangutans and crocodiles. 4th saw whole herd of pygmy elephants with calves on riverbank and swimming. The...

"Awesome place . Good vacation with family. You look like in village . Intresting for big family party for bbq and swimming"

"My second time stay here.. Beautiful place, many activities with animals in morning.. Very good place for kids and children.. Friendly staff, very helpful with sweetest smile. Suggestions for management, could add some lamp or spot lights on right side block C. Recommended place for family with kids."

"We stayed at Johnson Villa and the View from that villa was supernice, the kitchen utensil provided were good and almost everything was perfect. But they should improve in terms of hanging place for clothes and towel. At the same time, 3 of the dining chairs should be replaced since it easily broken and may be dangerous to the customers."

"Staffs are so friendly especially the housekeeping staffs are very efficient and very fast respond..."

"The facility was poor. No proper shops or restaurants around. Not much activities to be done beside swimming."

"Wake up to a magnificent view of Mt Kinabalu just infront of our unit. They could improve on the water system. The unit we stayed has no hot water and the pressure was very low. I was freezing cold after a cold shower. Other than that we loved the place and enjoyed our stay. "

"Arrived well before official checkin time. Room was ready. Although they tried to upsell their newer renovated rooms which were empty. They were nice but it wasn’t a free upgrade. Their initial remark was my booked room requires stairs climbing which I did not find an issue to begin with. The basic room was pretty much the same as the one I stayed in many years ago. Clean but ancient. There were kettle and fridge. Wifi never seemed to work but I never inquired further as I have my mobile data....

"Accommodation was clean and well kept. Diving centre next door was excellent "Leisure Divers" Malay cuisine for breakfast each day was repetitive and could be better eg more fruit etc and add some western. Location was not so good in that the "beach" was mostly mud flat throughout the day with no sandy bottom and so not really suitable for casual swimming. Staff were good and friendly."

"Nice views from room "
