The water borne wildlife experience is fantastic - great sightings of animals and birds, and if nothing else it's worth coming here for this. Our guide on the boat was exceptional - so knowledgeable and passionate on every trip. However, it could be so much better. The Lodge staff were totally disinterested - never helped carry our bags, did not get up to cook eggs on our departure day (despite about 50% of the Lodge leaving early), and an empty bar (no wine at all for the two days we were there, no Sprite on the second day, one beer option). The food was disappointing - other places we stayed at on this trip did a much better job. They just didn't seem to try. The rooms are ordinary - but you expect that - the bathrooms were like something from my 70s school days!

Our guide Mus was excellent. He was extremely knowledgable and very engaging. He was always clear with the plans for the day and happy to answer questions, all of which he answered with exceptional detail. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to explore Sabah. The food in the lodge was great and the staff as they were helpful and friendly.We would highly recommend staying at Bilit Rainforest Lodge.

Our stay at Bilit lodge came as a very pleasant surprise to us! As we arrived we expected old, run-down and uncomfortable rooms but were shocked to find incredibly spacious rooms: each person has their personal king-sized bed which is very comfortable, which is virtually unheard of in the hotel industry! The activities on offer are also good fun, including 2-hour boat drives down the river where you can see animals such as crocodiles and orang-utans, and small walks into the rainforest. There is also a ping-pong table, which is great fun to use in-between activities and during the evening. The only reason I don’t give the lodge 5 stars is because the food isn’t particularly good, but is certainly not awful. If you are on your way to Borneo, I would definitely recommend you give this place a visit.
