Really good buffet breakfast, super clean, really nice staff. Only thing that could have made it better would have been lockers in the dorms - but i did leave my valuables with reception and all was well.

Beautiful location so close to the Orangutan, Sunbear, and Rainforest centers. Would stay here again! Our door had trouble locking at night but it was so remote we weren’t really concerned. Curtains on the beds would be preferred but no big deal. Very kind staff, free water, walkable, and great breakfast!
