Sukau Backpackers Bed & Breakfast

We stayed for one night in this Bed and breakfast. It’s to the river and not too big. In the afternoon we take a river tour which also booked at the B&B. They served a diner wich was very tasteful. The beds a comfortable and the rooms clean but simple. The people over there were friendly and helpful. In the morning also a breakfast witch was simple but oke.

A fairly basic room but the bed is surprisingly comfy. Everyone there is so friendly and the food is amazing. We had 3 river tours (afternoon, night and morning) and saw all sorts of wildlife. We saw 3 out of the big Borneo 5 on the first river tour (crocodile, rhinoceros hornbill and proboscis monkey)! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and great at pointing things out and getting the best angle to see. Great value for money!

This place is falling apart, completely run down. The garden is nice and from outside the huts look ok, once you go inside it's just indescribable. Mold everywhere, almost no water pressure, etc. They could make it so much better with so little (painting the walls, new mattresses and beds would do it) but instead they are building new huts across the road. Meals are basic but ok, the biggest problem again is lack of cleanliness around. The state of the cups they provide is unbelievable (once again, with very little they could provide new cups as the ones they provide are by no means presentable). The reception is abandoned except during meal times and they sell no drinks there. The only good thing apart from the garden, was the tour guide. Nice, very knowledgeable and paying close attention to any animals around. We decided to leave one day earlier.

Bel posto semplice e adeguato. Il mustang é la gita in barca consiglio più di una noi abbiamo avuto una guida super simpatica e competente un ragazzo giovane che vive a Sandakan con un nome americano. Ci ha dato la carica e fatto vedere molti animali. Complimenti consigliato

I booked a 3d/2n package directly with the lodge and communication was smooth. The only exception was that I specifically requested size 45 rubber boots for the jungle walk by email but these werent available when I got there. Ended up having to wear my running shoes and cleaning them afterwards. The room is comfortable although a power socket by the bed would make it even better. Plenty of hot water in the shower and good pressure. Towel was a little stained but seemed clean. A/c worked well. One thing to be aware of is that this lodge is very close to the road so you will hear cars regularly while in the room. It doesn't feel remote at all until you go out on a river cruise. The cruises were great and we spotted plenty of animals (elephants, orang utan, monkeys, colourful birds, baby crocodiles). The staff were all amazingly helpful and friendly. The weakest attribute was the food. It consisted of tiny portions of chicken with rice and vegetables. Only had dessert with one out of three meals and it consisted of 6 tiny bananas. Breakfast consisted of noodles, fried egg, one small sausage and sliced bread on the first morning and second morning was the same but without the noodles. They should seriously consider offering a meal upgrade option....something I would have happily paid 200 ringgit for. All in all, this place offers excellent value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
