From the moment we booked we were looked after, they organised our ride from the airport and our jungle trek. The food is amazing and all the team are so helpful and friendly! The location is unbelievable, right in the jungle with loads of birds, monkeys and sometimes orangutans coming to visit! They pick you up from town and drive you over to the house, which is a great introduction to jungle life! Cannot recommend this place enough. We had a fantastic stay, thank you to all the team!!
