Sukau Village View Stay & Backpackers

The staff were amazing; the receptionist was extremely kind, professional, and helped us arrange onward transportation. The tours we did were great, especially the afternoon cruise. Things are generally more expensive in this area, but this is probably one of the most budget options while still offering quality and comfort. The food is pretty good too, and since restaurants in the area are hit‑and‑miss with openings, you can't complain too much about the price. The rooms were very clean, as was the general living space. The only issue was that there was no working wifi, but I think with the remoteness of the village they don’t get much signal, especially with changing weather! Would recommend.

The food was excellent and freshly prepared, the best on our trip 💕, but sometimes it was a bit short for the number of guests.

“Kinabatangan basico”

The place was very basic for seeing and enjoying the Kinabatangan River. The night jungle tour was a waste of time.

I have little to say, except that the lady of the house showed understanding for my decision. They showed me the room and I said no; supposedly there was no other. Luckily there were booking problems. The gentleman of the house later wanted to transfer the refunded money back to Europe. Haha, I wouldn't recommend the accommodation because you have to pay for everything besides sleeping; you might as well book a resort, which even includes the transfer.

We barely found anything to like here. As soon as we stepped into the room, a rat was in the bathroom. I ran to the reception, but no one was there, even though the hours said it should be open. I texted the owner, who told me to contact reception, yet I had already said no one was present. He ended up telling me to deal with someone there, with no apology. Kitchen staff eventually came; they only wanted to clean the rat droppings, and we had to push for a room change. They treated us as if we were exaggerating and claimed a rat in the bathroom was normal. The rooms we were offered when we asked for a change were not well cleaned either. I get that it's a simple place in the middle of nature, but cleanliness is a choice. I attached a photo of the first room’s bathroom with rat droppings. The staff were unwelcoming, except for the drivers/tour guides who made the experience somewhat memorable.
