Borneo is an emerging tourist destination, and the lodges and hotels do vary in terms of the facilities they offer. In most cases, accommodation is generally not as luxurious or well-appointed as the lodges/camps in Africa. Generally, lodging in the main towns and resorts is in western-style three- to five-star hotels or guest houses. The jungle lodges do vary in standard but almost all have en-suite rooms with hot and cold water. Air conditioning is not always provided but most have fans. We always attempt to use environmentally friendly lodges who are committed to helping the local communities.
If you are looking for extreme luxury throughout your journey, Borneo may not be the destination for you. However, for those of you seeking accommodation that blends rainforest style, traditional features and great proximity to wildlife, look no further. In Borneo, we hand-pick lodges that have been built to complement their surroundings, carefully choosing the locations that provide the best access to wildlife. We have some lovely beach-based options too, allowing you to end your safari on the powder-white sands of Sabah.
