We had such a great time at this serene resort. It was a great escape from the hot and humid, hustle of the city. The resort is surrounded by beautiful lake scenery and has a constant breeze, making the environment cooling and comfortable. The chalets have a spacious balcony facing the lake, and an attached small bathroom. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. There were not a lot of mosquitoes throughout our trip.

The food was amazing and Borhan, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and super accommodating. The resort itself has a game room, karaoke system, and ameneties for fishing and kayaking. There is no/limited WiFi however, and it would be great if they are able to provide WiFi for communication purposes as certain mobile carriers have no coverage there. All in all, a great place and would highly recommend if you are looking to disconnect from city life!

We really loved our stay at Belum Eco Resort. Especially because of Bohan. What a great man! He is the boat man, tour guide, host and jungle man. He is a little bit shy and insecure about his English language, but that’s not needed. He is fantastic!

The rooms are basic, so don’t expect a luxury stay, but the view over the lake was wonderful. The food was really, really good and we played with the little dogs and had fun with the talking birds at the entrance.

We did kayaking and swimming in the lake in our free time. We did not see elephants, but that’s nature. We loved our time here and really recommended it!

Kind regards, Tom and Loes

The best part of our trip is the tour guide -- Bohan, who took care of everything, from logistic to accommodation, jungle trekking to chatting/cultural exchange after dinner.
The chalet is nice and cozy, and with ample space to put our stuff and hang our clothes. It was nice to shower in the bathroom which has a window view of the nature. The weather was good so we didn't find going to the detached bathroom annoying or inconvenient. Each chalet has a painting/art piece next to the door, which shows the artistic sense of the owner.
The bamboo lunch box is very unique and sustainable. Each one of us carried our bamboo lunch box to jungle trekking and had our lunch at the waterfall after a refreshing time in the cool water.
The resort is built and run sustainably. It is so good to see tourism operators who have sustainable mindset and don't consume/pollute our jungle for the sake of money.
We saw a blooming rafflesia, several species of eagles, hornbills, heron, lantern bug, centipede, etc. There is so much more to explore and learn from the 130 million years rainforest.
