The staff was super helpful and courteous, helping us arrange a transfer because we had to leave before the normal checkout time. The facility is well-organized, with plenty of food at mealtimes and always punctual on excursions. Highly recommended for both service and value.

If you want to see wildlife and not break the bank but be comfortable, Tanini is the best place to experience the Kinabatangan River. In terms of wildlife, the tour guides, Omar and Andy, were very knowledgeable and gave the best viewing opportunity of animals and plants along the Kinabatangan river. Whether you see particular animals or not comes down to luck, but the guides certainly tried their best for us. Situated right next to Tanini is RESPECT’s elephant feeding grounds where elephants have been seen feeding - if you’re lucky you may see them up front! The food was buffet style and delicious, with rice and chicken, beef, veg, vegan options (let them know in advance for dietaries). The front of house staff were all friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the dorms, and the beds were comfortable and the AC worked perfectly. Just be wary to keep any food in the kitchen with staff instead of leaving it in the dorm room. But, if I could do it again I would have definitely stayed in the chalets as you have your own toilet and private space to relax, which is nice as the day gets busy and sociable. Overall, I would recommend Tanini to friends and family for an unforgettable experience in Kinabatangan!

My first experience exploring the jungle with Andy who was very friendly and funny, the room was a little less satisfactory in terms of cleanliness, especially the bathroom. The food was also less satisfactory

​As a solo traveller, I was so grateful for the warm and welcoming staff and the incredible guides. Our guide, Andy, was brilliant—his passion and knowledge of Borneo's wildlife were unmatched. He knew all the best spots and helped our group spot the "Big 5." Thank you for such a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Amazing experience in the jungle! Loved every moment of it. Our guides were wonderful in showing us all the big 5! We stayed in one of the dorms: very basic accommodation but clean, comfy and provided with AC. The food is buffet style and all meals have a good variety of options. Would 100% recommend the experience! Goodbye, for now🙏🏼🤍

Awen was the best guide!!! We saw 4 out of the big 5, the only thing we did not see was elephants, but still it was a very cool experience, would recommend 100% The food was very good, they had vegetarian options. There was AC in the rooms and the shared bathrooms were clean.

We had a fantastic time at the lodge. From the moment we were picked up in Sandakan, everything went like clockwork. At the lodge we were greeted by Anna (reception), who kept everything on track. Ish and Syn at F'n'B were so lovely and tried to overfeed us. And then there was our guide Mai, who really did everything to make our stay top notch. We wouldn't have seen a tenth of what we did without him. Spotting an insect from 10ft away in the dark is not a skill I will every possess (though I would have probably eventually spotted the elephants!). His kindness and sense of humour also will not be forgotten.

Highly recommended! This lodge provided the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. The well-maintained property, friendly staff, and breathtaking scenery made for an unforgettable experience.” I hope in future when I come back this place will still be here and I definitely will stay here .
