The owner, Ben, and staff are wonderful people and I consider them friends now. The room & bed was clean and comfortable and solid WiFI was available at the eating area (helpful for those working). The in-room AC unit helps A LOT in the humid climate. The food, particularly dinner, is tasty and a great deal for the quality you get. Unlike places in more populated areas, if you're lucky, you'll see endangered species here like white-crowned hornbills that try to break your window or slow loris - a rare middle of the night visitor, or more common species like the civet, fruit bats, or Asian water monitor. It's wildlife though, so don't expect to see anything, Lots of mosquitos (it's Borneo, bring great bug spray), and the staff did not hesitate to make the place comfortable and keep the bugs away by turning on the fans and burning mosquito repellent. A few minor details to note. The bathroom can smell like a vault toilet sometimes. Problem is solved by closing the bathroom door, but can be annoying and a drag. Also, the village of Bilit is a Muslim one, and morning prayer occurs around 445am. It's not very loud from the Lodge, but some folks might wake up due to the low frequency of the sound. I did some days when the AC wasn't running. Overall, nice place and I'd stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Quality Inn Miami Airport - Doral](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Miami-Airport-Doral.h22338.Hotel-Information) > > [Fair Isle Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Whycocomagh-Hotels-Fair-Isle-Motel.h16265132.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Fredericton](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Bed-And-Breakfast.d3935-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Browning](https://www.expedia.ca/Browning-Hotels.d6204418.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Station-Hotels.d6164139.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Roppongi](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Fontaine-Grand-Tokyo-Roppongi.h3003733.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo Guardati](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-Guardati.h1724862.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d6023515-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Siesta Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Siesta-Suites.h6891160.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jackson](https://www.expedia.ca/Jackson-Hotels.d6059202.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hampton by Hilton London City](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Arbor-City-Hotel.h201127.Hotel-Information) > > [Fundy Complex Dockside Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Royal-Hotels-Fundy-Complex-Dockside-Suites.h7463935.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Mississauga Meadowvale](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Mississauga-Meadowvale.h524429.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Santa Cruz (VVI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/vvi/vancouver-to-santa-cruz) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Amman (AMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/amm/edmonton-to-amman) > > [Flights from Rionegro (MDE) to Santa Marta (SMR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mde/smr/medellin-to-santa-marta) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Packages > [Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/42/Costa-Rica) > > [White Oaks Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Oaks-Mall-White-Oaks.d6144141.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals ### General > [Visit Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas.dx180032)
