Mantanani Island
Located in Mantanani Island, GreenHouse Lodge provides accommodation with access to a garden. The property boasts reusable plastic materials, using energy-saving lighting and conserving rainwater.
Some units feature a terrace and / or a patio with sea or garden views.
We had a fantastic time on Mantanani Island. Superb location, right on the beach, no other hotels in the area.
We were spoiled by Fred's wife (owner) who is in charge of the food. As vegetarians, we could not find a better place! No other restaurants in the area tough.
Kayaks and snorkeling gear available, which we recommend. Nice walk to the nearby village too.
Swimming in the sea here is very nice, no strong currents.
Transfer is well arranged. Pick up (early!) in your hotel in KK, boat is waiting to bring you to the island and visa versa.
Kinabatangan
With a terrace and barbecue facilities, Borneo Jungle Adventure is situated in Kinabatangan and features free WiFi.
At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Chinese, Malaysian and Grill BBQ cuisine. Vegetarian and halal options can also be requested.
We came to see Orang Utangs in the wild, wishing not to disturb them in their homes and approach passively.
We got so much more. This camp is privately run by someone who keeps it natural rainforest and doesn't sell to someone making a palm oil farm from it. The people in this camp TRULY care about the rainforest, the animals, and their visitors. Main woman Linda makes sure you have absolutely everything you need at all times. Of course, you are in the middle of the jungle, so wifi only in the common area (but there is wifi in the middle of the jungle!) and there is no jaccuzi. But once you're over that it is 100% perfection!
A true rural jungle experience!
We stayed 3 nights and already saw the big 5 the second day!
Food was plenty, very very delicious with seafood and meat/ chicken/ and really exciting vegetarian options too!

I like the fact that the auntie feed us with more than we can eat! Comfortable lodge, peaceful and serene place to get away from the bustling cities and work life.

It was a dream come true! Everyone and everything was great! Staff is friendly, helpful and polite, they speak very good English, so communication was easy.

Had a great two nights stay in this nature paradise. Howard, the owner, has a deep knowledge of the region and its culture. He will make your stay super easy going and can drop you around if you have no vehicle.
Accommodation is very basic and that's exactly why you're going there! If you are scared of little insects, you shouldn't be in Borneo at the first place so move on!
Thanks for this stay, loved the refreshing shower after a hot day! Wish you all the best for your future plans.

Good location, staff running it were very good, and very helpful. Lodges were clean and well maintained.
Hill top lodges were amazing. Clean, spacious, leads right onto the private beach. Also far enough from the day tourists to feel separate. Cheaper than other resorts in these islands.
The river safari was absolutely amazing. It’s a small walk to the pier from the lodge but we managed to see elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, loads of birds and even 2 orangutans! Kai was an excellent tour guide.
Lodges were spacious cool clean and brand new bathrooms. Resort location is perfect. Much quieter than the other resorts.
Stayed one night. Rustic charming lodges with all facilities. Helpful staff, great lounge/restaurant sitting area. Can have a meal or a drink there and buy supplies of water etc. Fantastic location for Orangutan rehabilitation centre and Sun Bear centre both next door to each other 10 minutes walk from the property. No bags even small ones allowed in Orangutan centre but free lockers provided. Swimming pool closes at 17.30 Great jungle walkways around the site
The lodges are conveniently located in the National Park and walking distance to the amenities. Good view of Mount Kinabalu from the lodges. The breakfast in the restaurant is excellent! The xmas decoration is nice and bring out the festive ambient.

Perfect location for walking to the Rainforest Discover Centre and Orangutan Sanctuary. The complex is quite large with multiple lodges. The room was comfortable and large with AC and fan. The breakfast is okay and there is a restaurant which serves food until 8pm. You can pre order for eating after the RDC night safari.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. The lodges are situated within the Kinabalu park so you wake up to a breathtaking scenery of the mountain. It gets chilly in the evening and early morning. Our large king bed was super comfy. Breakfast was decent.
Howard was so passionate and informative, he went above and beyond to make this a great stay for us. Nothing was too much trouble and his family were so welcoming and hospitable. The lodges are a great location in the jungle, but also a 25 minute walk to the beach. It's an interesting but also peaceful environment to spend a few days exploring the area. The beach walk recommend by Howard was amazing, it's like paradise!
