The staff at Tambunan nature lodge were extremely helpful. The main reason why we chose to stay here was to visit a local bird hide to photograph rare Bornean birds and we had a mix up with the owner of the bird hide. However, a lovely guy at the reception helped us out by communicating with the owner. The views from the lodge are exceptional! The lodge and the rooms are quite rustic but this is a remote location so please manage your expectations. It is also not walkable to Tambunan town but the staff called a private taxi for us to visit the town for dinner.

We are staying in room no.7 on the upper floor. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything is working except the toilet was a bit slow flushing. During the check-in, the room was unable to open but was rectified.

Our room no. 3 on the ground has a lot of ants. Understand that is natural but proper pest control might help to reduce them. The road was very steep up, I think a small car cannot climb up. Also, there is bad mud access to the room at the back. I think need to put some gravel etc.

Want to feel out of city, this place is a good choice.

Wifi. If there's too many vacant, wifi will be slow. And there's no soap/shampoo so please bring your own toiletries before coming here.
