Everything was great. Very clear communication about pick up and they were right on time. The room was very comfortable and seemed very new. No bugs got inside and being up on top of a hill gave great views and there weren’t many mosquitos at all. Food was excellent and plentiful. Our guide Ryan was incredible and we saw all of the Borneo Five animals including young orangutans building their nests at the base of the property. Jason the host went about and beyond to explain everything and accommodate us. I left my medication there and he figured out how to get it sent to my hotel on Mabul Island (5-6 hours away by bus and boat) while keeping it refrigerated. Incredible service!! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Highlight of my trip.
Located along the Kinabatangan River, Bilit Adventure Lodge is located amid a tropical landscape filled with native wildlife.

We loved our 2 nights and 3 days stay at Bilit Adventure Lodge. We had a great time and total disconnect from rest of the world like no social medias, no internet, no tvs…however it’s possible you can purchase 1G at lodge but we didn’t by purpose since we had such a jungle, remote and nature experience. So sad coming back to civilization after 3 days…Anyways, we would love to shout out to our guide ROBERT who did our trip to Kinabatangan so special and memorable. He was so professional, knowledgeable of wild life, life encoglephia, birds, spotting and caring person that we already so much respect to him and appreciate more than a lot. Thank you so much Robert for your kindness and caring for us those days since we met at airport and drop off airport. Now little bit our experience at lodge, we had 1st day boat trip through river, got spotted many birds, crocodiles, monitors and etc…then night jungle walking is great experience also. Next morning boat trip was so emotional that we’ve seen Sunrise, many more wild life’s including proboscis monkeys ets…then next evening boat trip…just wonderful. What a day…we spotted 7 elephants along with many birds species and crocodile etc. How thankful for this trip…just amazing…even just around walking lodge already we have a lots of monkeys, birds and giants butterflies…and at last we would like to say Thank you to all the stuffs at Bilit Lodge and specially for our guide Robert!!!

We loved the staff! They are very kind, helpful and extremely friendly. We were curious about their culture and they were willing to explain everything about it!
We went several times on the cruise to be able to see as much wildlife as possible, and every time was as exciting as the first one!!
We also had the pleasure to experience batik painting, which was a bit challenging but unique.
Moreover, we enjoyed exploring gomantong cave!
We ate at the lodge for our entire stay and we were very pleased with the menu and the fresh cooked, healthy food they offered us.
Our stay was amazing and you need to try it!
Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
Food excellent - best we had in malaysia
View - awesome
Wildlife - interaction with nature - unique and could not be replicated for costs
Ethics of the lodge - applaud owners
Location is just perfect. We saw orang oetans at breakfast and while walking down the staircase. I think this place is more unique compared to the other lodges alongside the river.
Room is cosy and basic. You do have hot water and at nights the temperature is quite comfortable for sleeping.
The guys at the lodge spent lot of effort to make your stay as best as possible. Food is also good. I would definitely recommend this place!
Lodging, meals, guiding... all was superb (including the sightings of pygmy elephants and orangutans). The people at the Last Frontier Resort are very passionate about their jobs and they excel at it. Rodel was a great guide and Jason went out of his way to make sure our onward journey by bus would work smoothly. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Would be 11 out of 10 (if that was a possibility).
So if you get the chance - book it :)
The room includes the tour which was amazing. We saw so much wildlife including orangutans, civet cat and a slow loris!! The lodge is so peaceful, just in the jungle with boardwalks around. Very comfortable and clean room. Buffet style food, they made us separate meals as we are both vegan, so they cater for everyone. One day we were the only people at the lodge so it was so nice and quiet. The night walk is good but we had a large group which made it hard to see things if you are at the back, you can hire wellies and leech socks.
I didn't expect much from a lodge, but this one is a really great place! I loved the food, the staff, the surroundings (even the monkeys stealing your food) and the services provided
