We didn’t read any reviews nor researched much prior to arriving and thus had zero expectations of this place. On the drive to Danum Valley, a pair of barking deers crossed our path. A sign of things to come. We got the Premium Deluxe Villa. The villa was very spacious, had an outdoor plunge pool and it was great to sit out on the deck. We spotted orang utans on one of the hikes and that made the whole trip! We expected bugs, leeches and zero or little network coverage and got all that. Although we were told that cables are currently (as of Dec 22) being laid so you may get good network coverage in the future. The Lodge is expanding and along with the network cable works seem counter to conservation efforts. Nevertheless there is nothing like spotting wild animals in their habitat. The food here is great, a good mix of local and western, and the wine selection could be more robust. Visiting Danum Valley is one of our best experiences ever. Oh! Bring water shoes for the jagged rocks at the waterfall and river! More
