Best food, amazing hospitality! Tisha and Simon are fantastic hosts. Best breakfast: every day with tea/coffee, fresh juice, a sweet fruity plate and a salty one. If you can register for dinner, we absolutely recommend it. Best Malaysian food we had on our whole trip with vegetarian and vegan options (incl. self-made chips with sambal oelek, soup, salad, variety of vegetables, tofu/chicken, drinks, dessert). Even better lots of the food comes from their own sustainable farm! Amazing hospitality, very courteous. We got a blue tea with a piece of mango as a welcome drink, always fresh water with lime while spending time at the pool or terrace. There is also a small tea/coffee bar with drinking water and variety of teas/coffee for self-service. They and their team did everything for us, without us even asking. Just perfect and lovely service! There are so many good things, we cannot tell you everything, it's just too much. Absolutely loved staying here.

Everything! The house is a little piece of heaven. We had a great day just relaxing - we didn't leave at all in our 24 hour stay as we loved it so much! The hosts are the friendliest, loveliest people you can imagine, the food and hospitality are amazing, and the pool and garden, as well as the beautiful verandas, are such a relaxing place to unwind before/after visiting the rainforest. The hosts were so hospitable and helpful - assisting us with laundry and allowing us for early check in. The attention to detail when it comes to the breakfast and dinner are noteworthy, and the food simply delicious ! Thank you so much!

Nothing at all, everything was excellent!

What can we say! If we could give more than a 5-star rating we would! There was so much to love about this stay......it ticked so many boxes! Our room was really large with its own bathroom and a separate doorway leading down to a quaint pool.....picturesque and big enough in which to refresh. The place was really clean and spacious with quiet areas to sit with the complimentary tea and coffee provided. Itisha and her 'helpers' provided the most wonderful meals.....delicious and flavoursome with a unique flair in its presentation. Simon, on the other hand, lent his hand to coffee bean roasting and making local fruit-flavoured ice-cream (yes, even durian!) as well as organic gardening which provided an array of produce for Itisha to utilise. Some of their produce they had beautifully packaged which solved our quandary about gifts for home.....very unique and healthy! I know our family and friends will love them! Thank you Itisha and Simon for a wonderful experience! Jenni and Jeremy

What did we like about the property? In a nutshell, the people and the food! Tisha and Simon (and their helpers) are as friendly and hospitable as any hosts we have ever stayed with, and their home-cooked meals are off the charts. Our welcome was delightful, with warm, family greetings and delicious home-made flowery drinks under an awning. We were made to feel like a cross between VIPs and old friends. We played with the gorgeous household cats and relaxed in the quirky swimming pool until dinner. Tisha had been in touch in advance about food, and she had been incredibly solicitous about what we might want, but what she produced was remarkable. There’s not space here to go into detail, but the main dish was an extraordinary mixture of Malaysian with one surprising Italian ingredient, with a family story to accompany and explain it, made with the freshest, most aromatic ingredients from Simon’s own smallholding, complex without being fussy, and personalised to our individual tastes (eg level of spice). It was truly gourmet comfort food of the highest order, in fact as good as I’ve ever eaten. Starters and dessert were similarly fresh and home-made, and breakfast the next day - porridge oats with a range of home-made and local additions, served like a work of art - was impeccable. Our room (two big double beds with an en-suite shower room) was clean, comfortable and nicely air-conditioned and we slept well, but the reason to stay here is Tisha and Simon’s exceptional hospitality. I cannot commend it highly enough.

Nothing. If you don’t like cats or if you want a big swimming pool then this place is not for you. Otherwise, no drawbacks.

What a wonderful place to stay after a few days on a jungle tour! We were made to feel so welcome , such a calm quiet place to stay. The arrival drink and breakfast were outstanding and worthy of a luxury retreat. We had a huge en-suite room that was spotless with all we needed, tea/coffee, iron etc. it’s about a 15-20 min walk to restaurants but we lazily ordered food via Grab for dinner as it was a Monday when dinner can’t be bought from the B&B.

There is a mosque nearby that light sleepers might notice with the call to prayer, but it didn’t bother us.

We have been staying in many similar places in various countries, but this surely is top of the list! Simon and Tisha and their staff really make you feel most welcome. The house, the rooms and the garden are beautifully decorated and kept in a very good shape. As most reviews were raving about the food, we were curious to try it and they did not exaggerate! For dinner and breakfast we always got a great introduction of the food we were about to taste and attention to detail is not just a phrase here. The signature "blue pea" drink and the edible flowers are really unique! And even better, we could take home some coffee and ingredients. A special thank you for the wonderful care I got by everybody after my small mishap where I injured myself! Our son especially loved the cats and after three days, it was hard to say goodbye. We definitely recommend staying more than one night just to relax and take some time off a busy travel schedule!

Would have loved to stay longer!

The accomodation was great. Close to the airport - I walked there from the airport. Was greeted by the very friendly staff with a cool drink and a snack. The room was very clean, quiet and AC. Bathroom was shared and was very clean. It had a plunge pool as well which was very welcome. Comfortable sitting area, books to read. The breakfast was amazing. Bowl of oats soaked with fruit, juice, coffee then a vegan wrap. Great service as well. The owners are so helpful and friendly. Restaurants close by as well for evening meal though also have dinner club on site that operates most nights. I highly recommend this accommodation and would stay again.

Nothing - all great.

We loved everything about Bikes & Tours Bed and Breakfast. The staff are exceptional and extremely friendly, the room was great, the accommodation generally is very stylish, the pool was perfect for relaxing in and the food - the food! - was the best we've had on our trip. Tisha clearly puts a lot of thought and care into the food and is obviously an expert in local gastronomy. Our dinner was absolutely outstanding (we're vegetarians, and this wasn't an issue at all, in case you're wondering!) and breakfast was too. We feel so lucky to have booked this place! Equally Simon and the team are involved in some really fascinating local, sustainable farming practices which we would've loved to have spoken more about if we had been there for longer. We were just stopping over in Lahad Datu for one night during a longer trip to Borneo. This was perfect for that but also would be great for a longer stay, we can imagine. 10/10, recommend!

The property and service at this lodge in Lahad Datu was exceptional. If you plan to go to Tabin Wildlife Reserve, you should slow your trip down and stay at this home before AND after visiting Tabin. This facility is a charming oasis with comfortable rooms, beautiful grounds and a nice pool. And the food!!! The meals at this stay were perhaps the best I've had in all my travels. Food was beautifully presented and explained, delicious and plentiful. This place really is a must visit!

It´s a perfect little hideaway in Lahad Datu. We had to stay one night in LAhad Datu, before we went on to the close by Tabin Wildfilfe area. At the arrival we were surprised by a great welcome drink. In the afternoon we´ve spent our time at the pool in the garden, to relax after staying a couple of hours in the car. The room was quite big and clean. The breakfast next morning was awesome! Sadly we were not able to try the dinner in the restaurant, as it was the closing day when we arrived. So we have to come back and get some dinner there next time.
