Hotel Overview

Sense of Place

Borneo Rainforest Lodge is nestled in the heart of tropical rainforest in the middle of Sabah state in Malaysian Borneo.

Rooms at Borneo Rainforest Lodge

Each of the stilted chalets at Borneo Rainforest Lodge, which are made from recycled wood and locally-sourced materials, are linked to the main building by wooden walkways. They have plenty of character and come with private bathrooms, ceiling fans and stunning views over the Danum River and the dense rainforest, best enjoyed from the deck. Most also feature private hot tubs or infinity pools, perfect for a soak after a day of trekking.

Food & Drink

The open-plan restaurant overlooks the Danum River and the surrounding rainforest – so keep your eyes peeled for furred and feathered creatures while you dine.

Facilities

After an action-packed day, unwind with a massage or floral foot soak in the spa.
