Amazing stay! Came here for just one night and had a great experience! Pygmy elephants came to our lodge at night and it was a rare occasion! The guides and wildlife department made sure the elephants did not barge into the lodge whilst not harming them. You’ll learn a lot from the locals and the guides! We had Tiffany as our guide and we loved the experience!

This was a package with trips on the River, jungle hiking and other activities, meals included and it was the best part of our trip to the Borneo Jungle. I highly recommend a stay here if you're interested in Borneo Wildlife. We saw, Pygmy Elephants, Orangutans, Proboscios Monkeys, Macaques, Hornbills, Crocodiles and lots more. We had a wonderful guide Leo and his boatman Nelson was just the best guy. The food provided was excellent quality, nice variety but sometimes there wasn't enough. The accomodation was comfortable, had a good bed and shower and good working air conditioning. I would highly recommend a stay at Bilit for a trip to Borneo.

The location along the river is ideal! You can see animals right from the lodge. The beds were comfortable and the staff was so friendly. They did everything they could to make the stay pleasurable.

Recently stayed at Bilit Adventure Lodge with a group tour. The location on the river in the jungle was an amazing experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable with good bathrooms and air-conditioning. The boat cruises to see wildlife were fantastic and we were lucky enough to see pygmy elephants, hornbills,crocodiles and plenty of monkeys! All the staff at Bilit were friendly and knowledgeable. Nelson & his team do an amazing job at making everyone feel welcome and have a good time! Loved Bilit & would love to return again in the future!

Amazing experience! Excellent trip! I was travelling with my daughter and nervous about going into the jungle. But we had an excellent guide called Japra, “Jeff” who met us at Sandakan airport, escorted us round the Orangutang and Sun bear sanctuaries and drove us 2 hours off road to the jungle with his driver Basit. The Bilit adventure lodge was clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Jeff was very kind and made us feel immediately at ease and was extremely knowledgeable about all the wildlife we saw on the morning and evening river cruises. We saw proboscis monkeys, silver macaques, long tail macaques, crocodiles, amazing birds such as the black horn bill, kingfishers and egrets. Jeff drove us back to Sandakan and even showed us round the town to see the sights at our request before we boarded our plane back to Kota Kinabalu. We arranged the trip through Mr Bong at Borneo tracker tours - big thank you! I highly recommend Jeff as your guide - he works for all the tour companies in Saba and is also freelance. Altogether a great jungle adventure!

Fantastic lodge right on the Kinabantangan River where they provided dawn and dusk boat cruises down the river and we saw so much wildlife! Night jungle walks too The main area is right on the river and where the wifi is. You have to pay for wifi. Our room was along raised wooded walkways surrounded by forest!. Our room was so nice and the bathroom had been renovated and modern. Great water pressure. King sized be and little sitting area. Air conditioned. Bed was super firm and great. Meals were Chinese style and ok. Great stay for 2 nights

This is a nice place with nice facilities. There was a bus to pick us up and drop off in the Sandakan area. We really enjoyed the boat rides and we saw plenty of what we wanted to see: orangutans, proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, crocodiles, hornbills, kingfishers...Our room was beautiful dark wood, with comfortable beds with mosquito nets, a clean bath, and air con.
