Great place to stay when visiting Taman Negara
Great place to stay if you want to visit Taman Negara. The owner is very helpful and has a bunch of good ideas for trips for good prices. Great service. The location itself is very nice. Great rooms, great food as well. No wifi available, but who cares. Beds are a bit to hard for our taste. Apart from that, could not be better.

Excellent location on the river next to the jungle
We had a lovely 2 nightstay in this welcoming guesthouse. It is an idyllic location on the river and close to the National Park for jungle walks and river trips. Excellent home cooked evening meal and a more than adequate breakfast.

heerlijke uitvalsbasis
een fijne uitvalsbasis om de schitterende jungle te ontdekken. De verzorging is prima en ze zijn je graag van dienst met alles. Het avondeten is inclusief en smaakt prima. Doe vooral de boottocht op de rivier: 8,5 km varen de jungle in. Marja regelt het graag voor je

Estadia positiva num local fantástico! Bem limpo, muito agradável e com boas refeições. Os transfers para Taman Negara foram fundamentais! Como pontos menores houve o facto de não haver internet durante a estadia. A simpatia da gerente também é um ponto a melhorar.
